New Year’s Eve

Zach and snow angels


I’m still jotting notes in my All Weather Memo Book.

Here’s our quote to begin 2010.

The truths of the spirit are proved not by reasoning about them,
Or finding explanation of them, but only by acting upon them.
Their life is dependent upon what we do about them.
Mercy, gentleness, forgiveness, patience;
if we do not show them they will cease to be.
Upon us depends the reality of God here on Earth today.
Edith Hamilton (1867 – 1963)

New Year Resolutions.
1. Make a snow angel (if you live in a city, make one on the sidewalk of a major street)
2. In the middle of a meeting, stand up and laugh out loud. When people ask why, say, “Doctor’s orders.”

There will be more resolutions in the days to come.

Speaking of resolutions. Here a great New Year idea. Starting January 10 and continuing for 30 days, Loyola Press will send you an email pause reminder — a powerful pause for each day. Gentle reminders as a way to trigger those parts of our soul that can stop and listen and pay attention.

Book list for the new year: beliefnet — Fifteen books from 2009 to nourish the soul. (Oh yes, the list includes The Power of Pause. Fancy that. What a fine list it must be. . .)


There’s a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.

We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain.

Then suddenly the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call,

and answer in extraordinary ways. Mother Teresa
