The truth is, we all attempt to make the best decisions but we all mess up from time to time.  We have to live with the consequences of those decisions or lost opportunities.  For this I would add that the way I deal with my past is that I say to myself; ‘I could only make decisions based on what I knew at that time’.  Now, I have learned more and have become experienced, and hopefully wiser and would make different choices.  But that was the best I could do at that time!

Happy Thanksgiving   Thanksgiving is a festival that is celebrated in America and Canada.  Originally it was a time to be thankful for the autumn harvest as well as for all those good blessings we had received during the year.

We can all be touched by feelings of love and appreciation when we see someone’s good qualities.  But are we really seeing their virtues or are we charmed by their acquired skills and talents?

The mind is an instrument of the soul, our job is to learn how to master the mind. 

Taking the time to become a mindful cook is something that will be worthwhile experimenting with. When we eat food cooked from the heart then we can feel that love that is there in the food.  We call that good old fashioned mother’s cooking and for good reason too.  It is actually the love that sustains us the most.

We have to not just fall into our feelings and then react to what we ‘feel’, but we need to be conscious creators of our thoughts and feelings.  And we can do this with one single thought.  Just create a peaceful thought and we become peaceful. Create a doubtful thought and we become a doubting Thomas. Create a fearsome thought and we become full of fear and anxiety.
