I am here presenting a series of some word vitamins to ponder. They are not necessarily related in content. The purpose is to find your awareness in your now as you read through them. They may trigger a memory, something happening now or that you would like to see happening for you, or you may simply find yourself analyzing the writing.

The purpose of this exercise is for you to be attentive to what goes through your mind as you ponder these thoughts. Enjoy every moment!

Satisfied?

Am I ever satisfied
with what life holds right now?
Being willing to grow
and open to God's touch
allows me to release all anxiety
And enjoy to the fullest
this moment
And be satisfied.

Honesty

Being honest with others
comes through knowing
each is tailored uniquely
by our Creator.
Being honest
to my Creator within
is being honest
with others.

Insight

Awareness of harmony
is an instant "Aha!"
Or, it may be silent
warmth of understanding
That all of creation,
including self,
Is flowing with
an awareness of harmony.
