Happy December! Today marks the official start of the advent season....and in the liturgical world...it's the week of hope.
Brené Brown had good advice about hope after the election:
"Right now, the thing that is helping the most is micro-dosing hope. I have no access to big hope right now, however, I am asking myself how I can support the people around me? How can I make sure that, in the maelstrom of my emotions, I stay committed to courage, kindness, and caring for others regardless of the choices made by others? Doing the smallest next right thing is hard....but sometimes it's all we've got."
Micro-dosing hope and doing the smallest next right thing....I think I can do that!
Paul and I enjoy watching the dusky afternoon sky behind the woods during happy hour. We can see it from the couch.
It was especially pretty tonight.
