I used to have the Desiderata posted in a room in my house. “Is there someone you have been judging or condemning in the last week or two?”

Yes, Juliana… these words must be remembered. “Desiderata tells me to ‘be gentle with yourself’.” Thank you for bringing them back to me. I used to have the Desiderata posted in a room in my house.

I much enjoyed visiting your blog, what great pictures you and Porter have taken in your hiking adventures. I'm so happy to have connected with you via the meeting we were both at in Boulder. Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the blue spruce outside my window has a long and happy life still ahead of it, but the way you handled that apparently sad loss of your own blue spruce is most inspiring. Every good wish. How lovely to hear from you Gail. I much enjoyed visiting your blog, what great pictures you and Porter have taken in your hiking adventures.

Coincidentally, when my husband and I moved into our present home, there was a thirty-foot tall blue spruce right outside the window of my own little study. I was especially tickled to see a squirrel's nest deep in it, made of shreds of an old tablecloth. One day, one of the chinook winds that Boulder is known for blew down the blue spruce. At first I was heartbroken, but now I'm thrilled with so much light coming through the window. I'm happy that you enjoy both light and your blue spruce.

As I read your words I thought of Nature and how she grows a tree for instance. She takes her time. There's a magnificent blue spruce right outside my study window and Nature must have been growing that tree for nearly 30 years...but so gently and kindly you'd never know it...Please stop by again some time and drop off a few more blessings...

Every morning, I have half an hour of my 'stillness' time. One of the things I do is read Desiderata. It gives me perspective that each day I can do the best that I can and that is enough. Doesn't matter about anybody else's expectation, if I know I have done the best I can that's okay. Desiderata tells me to 'be gentle with yourself'. Taken me a lot of years of learning and growing but today, I am gentle with myself and I take time to watch the daisies grow. This is a lovely post.
