Painting I do enjoy!  I enjoy but not great at it … I like to spend more time doing that in groups with my 50 plus social group we paint monthly …, and it is free for 50+

@Tinywhisper11 the best way I know to have the whole world in your hand is to have compassion on yourself, stopping judgements and replacing them with appreciations. The world we live in is not out therre. The world we live in is in here. We see it as being out there, but that is like seeing a face in the  mirror. We see the face out there, but there is no face iout there, only an appearance. a reflection. 

Talking to animals is wonderful. I sing to the parrot. He loves it.

@dieReisende ooo! Ooo! Write a Xmas book🎅yaaay Xmas

User Profile: soulsings
soulsings OP November 28th, 2023

@dieReisende one way to start is to write a booklet on something we know how to do. 

If you have access to Microsoft Word here are instructions https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-booklet-or-book-in-word-dfd94694-fa4f-4c71-a1c7-737c31539e4a

If you have a *** account you can access Google Docs. Here is a booklet tutorial https://docstutorial.com/how-to-make-a-booklet-in-google-docs/

The easiest way to publish and the least expensive is to Export it as a PDF or Print to File as a PDF. Then you can email your creation to others at no cost.

@WorkingitThrough2 it is not easy to be joyful when facing tragedy. I hope you find a way to find a little joy this holiday season. One way I find joy is to reach out to others in some way. 

On Christmas Day we have mindfulness at 3:30 PM EST in the Mindfulness Room and we will be sharing the holiday togerhter. Also the Open Chat is moving to 6PM EST that night. If you want to be with others, we welcome you.

@soulsings

Inculcate reading as a habit.

I suppose being a voracious reader does require a handful amount of skills. Patience for instance.

@trueconfidant123 reading is wonderful once you find a topic or genre that suits you.

For me reading is best before bedtime but tend to be short times when I am tired.

If I am reading non fiction I like to read after I have a quiet time to settle the mind.

@trueconfidant123 I am not really an intensely religious person but I do search for books that make life more meaningful to me. This is one of those non religious books that speaks to me:

 Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World you can even preview it by clicking on the preview button. 

It is also available on audible books but more expensive unless you listen to a lot of books. 

If you like stories, The Little Prince or Le Petit Prince is a charming story. 

I like funny stories too. Some of the Zen stories give me a chuckle and a lesson in life also.  https://www.worldclasslearning.com/zen-stories/is-that-so-zen-stories.html
