We are all One.

Just saying 'no' to everything may be good short term politics but it's not leadership.

President Barack Obama.

Last night, our President gave the best SOTU address I have ever heard from a President.

He spoke to the people. He spoke to the Congress. He is the only people's President I've seen on my watch.

He understands the simple fact that we are all one. Now he has to try and convince the opposition we are all one.

Once we accept we are all one. We can get on with living the lives we have dreamt about.

For those who choose not to accept this, they will continue to dream about the lives they want to live.

Fortunately for me, I have been living the dream.

What about you?

For today and its blessings.

I love my life today because:

My mate brought me coffee in bed, a ritual I look forward to on weekends.

I have a fridge full of green, red, yellow and orange vegetables at my disposal.

Even though I live in a cold climate just now, my home is warm and comfortable.

I have a wealth of tools  at my disposal  to make myself feel even better than I do right now - and writing this list is one of those tools ☺

Ever since I began following Dr Oz advice on eating less calories, I have been feeling weller than I ever did!

Yesterday I spent the morning walking round Walden Pond and it was pure bliss and today I woke up recalling that blissful time.

It is Sunday, my doodling day, where I do whatever I feel like doing...

I have a dishwasher,  a refrigerator, a gas cooker, a washing machine, my own car, my own gym room, my own woods, a telephone in my own home, I know the neighbors on either side of me and the mail comes to my door on a daily basis.

I live in a quiet, peaceful, fresh air environment.

I have access to any information I want  via the Internet.

For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.

Doily

My plan is to spend more time in the vortex of my wellbeing.

This doily in particular brings me right in. My dearest friend Roberta made it for me.

She guessed at the colors and the size.

It turned out to be the most beautiful and appropriate thing for this glass table in my parlor.

I love to sit in this room and admire all the works of art in here. The sofas are soft and cozy for curling up with a good book or for just quiet conversations.

This is my relaxation room, where I go to feel my blessings and bliss out.

It is also a room where I journal my desires, knowing they will come to fruition.

It's a sort of allowing room if you will.
