BTM, I am replying to all your posts here at this thread because it is the one that resonates best. I begin my day with a kiss from LittleBear. He wakes me up every day to greet the sun as it rises in the east (my apartment has a big picture window facing east with nothing but sky and trees to greet me as I open my eyes). I then get up, send a simple prayer skywards, blow a kiss to my sweetie (her picture on my altar), get up, dress, go outside with LittleBear, do our morning constitutional (1 mile along beautiful tree-lined streets to my favorite coffee shop, buy a pastry, have a conversation sometimes with friends who just love LittleBear (me, too...heh, heh...), then head home. I don't read the news, too painful. (Can't even say, God bless you, etc., as much as I would like to---I do it, but I don't feel the release you mentioned, so I choose not to read or listen to the news. HOWEVER I HAVE CHOSEN TO MAKE TWOHAWK'S NEST MY SOURCE, and so, I do find that release, let go, praise Creator, It really is a good day to live, a good day to die feeling I have that keeps me excited about my day, thanks to TWOHAWK'S NEST, SO THERE!!!!!!
