One thing you can count on

Last night I enjoyed some quiet time.
After the teenagers ate their pizza (apparently I’m now better than Dominoes so let me know if you want the recipe!), and after I baked our favourite cookies, I lit a candle and thought about something I read this week.
So simple. It’s this:

True for every single one of us.
True about me.
True about you.
Our minds want to fill in the blanks and make up a story that makes sense, but we just don’t know what’s going on for anyone, not really.
So today, no stories. No filling in the blanks. No assumptions.
I’m going to be gentle on people — and on myself.
Sending peace out around the world this morning. Enjoy your day, and love your people. We only know a little of what’s going on.
Love, Catherine
PS.
Happy Father’s Day down under!
I learned my lesson about last week. I woke up and found this…exploding seeds floating all over my kitchen! (Yeah, and when I carried them out to the garden bin half covered by a bag because I was being poked to death by thistle thorns, floating seeds flew all over our front garden!!) For my husband, reading this in Singapore right now, um…sorry about the thistles that you may have to dig out of the garden all spring :( Happy Father’s Day!
