Hello February 2026, spirit

Want peace in your life?

Take responsibility.

Start by asking:

  1. Why do i desire peace?
  2. How bad do i want it.
  3. What am i willing to do to be blessed with deep peace?
  4. Do i go to bed counting my blessings?
  5. Do i wake up counting my blessings?
  6. Throughout my day, do i count my blessings?
  7. How do i turn my awareness into changed, peace-filled behaviors?

Spiritually (emotionally), how is your January 2026 going compared to how you hoped it would go?

Goodness, spirit

Two of our 18 Thanksgiving dinner community departed before this end of the night self-timer group shot.

Of the 18 at dinner, only two spoke only English.

Never feel like an outsider when we are together.

Goodness is John Lennon’s ‘Imagine“.

Thankful for connection

Our dear Columbia Falls, Montana friends Steve and Stacy texted this yesterday (Thanksgiving) morning. Have enjoyed their hot tub (left) and their campfire burgers (upper right) several times.

Last night. Thanksgiving dinner is upon us.

Connection.

Various meanings.

Numerous applications.

People. Electricity. Business. Supply chain. Political. On and on.

My favorite connection is connecting the spirit of Thanksgiving Day to every single day of the year, not just the fourth Thursday of November.

You know my saying, “We come to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving when we learn to celebrate it every day.”

Other podium-worthy ‘connections’ are some special people we share unlikely common bonds with. Using two examples from yesterday, we have our Montana connection and our Venezuelan connection, both captured unglamorously in this post’s two photos above.

Grateful for so many people and things to be connected to.
