The beauty of our souls shines in many ways. The greatest of these is love.
In the spirit of loving kindness, every day a little ugliness is removed; our perspective on life grows broader and deeper.
In the spirit of love, our lives become fresher, our souls humbler; evil seems to disappear, and we learn to distinguish sinner from the sin.
Do I see the good in people?
Higher Power, let me walk in your love and see the good in all things.

It is hard sometimes to see the good when it seems that all around me I see ugly and hate and just downright evil. But I just keep telling myself over and over that there are good and loving people in this universe and I have seen them up close and personal in my life
People who are true and honest and open and willing and caring and sharing. I still in my heart of hearts believe that love and light Trump hate and darkness/ugliness I really do believe that. But I admit I do have my days where it is difficult to see it and thats why I think doing my grateful list every night and listening to positive stuff on my iPhone while I sleep helps me to keep my perspective in that there is still plenty of good In this world

Thank you Mamalioness, for this lovely sharing, for it is very apt for me at this moment. For recently I found out that my 2nd Daughter was diagnosed with Cancer,, I didn't know anything else, as I wasn't supposed to be told anything. The reason being, that because of something that she did a number of years ago, had hurt me deeply, and I couldn't get past it, so I chose to walk away from her.
When I heard of the news, I was able to write to her telling her that I loved,cared for her, and that I would be praying for her, not knowing how she was going to take me getting in touch with her after all this time. The thing I realised that Love is stronger than anything else in this world. Between My HP, and this very special program I am finding Peace with all of it, even understanding that if she doesn't allow me to be a part of this journey for her, I can accept it, even thought it is going to be tough. I can still walk beside her and hold her hand, in my way.
With the way the world is today, and facing the reality that not all people are nice, there are beautiful people still here. Like my Lovely Cab drivers, who drive me to Town, one who told me how to stop my glasses from fogging up when I have my mask on, which was driving me mad. The other one who puts my groceries inside for me, which makes it easier for me.They make my day.
When my world looks dark, I live by the Just For Today Verse.
Just For Today,I will be unafraid. Especially, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to Me.
That was beautiful what you posted. Prayers rising for your daughter to overcome the cancer and for you both to find a way back to each other. I guess the ball is in her court now because you reached out and you did your thing and that was beautiful. Sometimes they will receive us and other times they will not.
My daughter, and this is crazy, but she kicked me to the curb because I need program and she does not. According to her, she is graduated and that I must have something wrong with me to still need my program.
I reached out to her a few times asking her what did I do to cause this total separation and she wont even answer me back. I had to let go with love and tears and it took me a while to come to the point where I could accept and release all the pain. I will always love her and care about her but I guess I will have to do it from a distance. Im hoping you have a better outcome and that daughter can overcome the cancer.
