Over the next few weeks I will be focusing on a word of the day drawn from a list created at the beginning of January. Each word was chosen to serve as a guide to inspire and inform my steps through 2020. If you are just joining me now and want to look in on earlier posts on this topic, you will find links to each at the end.

NOURISHED
As I sit sipping my double latte, savoring a few moments of quiet from the glorious commotion of time with three small grand-boys all under the age of four, I am reminded of the importance of nourishment.
Nourishment is found in the food, literal or otherwise, necessary for our growth, health, and strength, and it is ours to fill our plates with that which will sustain us for the short term and for the long haul. Right now this quiet time to enjoy a beautifully prepared latte, write a few words, and walk a few blocks, is the sustenance necessary for my days of loving and supporting this family of five.
To nourish ourselves well for the life that is ours is a daily practice. One that brings to mind a line from a familiar ancient prayer…
Give us this day our daily bread.
Amen.
May it be so.
