RE: Count thy Blessings.

in Reflections • 7 days ago

You are in my prayers that you find and are reunited with Lilly soon.

We often overlook what we are already blessed with as we sometimes strive for more. It was not until my health declined and forced into retirement that I started to find contentment in what I had. Forced me to slow down and look around. To appreciate more. Sounds like you are on the right track.

I ordered and received a copy of Marcus Aurellius's Meditations the other day. It makes for a nice start too the day reading one or two of them.

        Thank you. I appreciate that.

        It's the bad times that make the good times. I found the world more beautiful each time I re-discovered it after darkness. I'm glad you had a similar experience and are able to appreciate. As mentioned, not everyone has that ability.

        We read one chapter (which are very short) each day with a friend of mine, over 2 months or so. It was a great practice, as we discussed it later. My friend has deep knowledge of stoicism, which made it even more fun. We just started reading Buber together, though that's more complicated. Looking forward to it, anyway.
