Greetings!

Welcome to Day 2 of 365 Days of Blessisms!  The second Blessism is all about new beginnings. The start of a new year is a wonderful time to embrace change and start fresh. it is also a good time to take a step back and to acknowledge and appreciate the journey of life we have been on. Accepting yourself for where you are and taking a moment to express some gratitude can help you shift into a new tomorrow.
Journal and Meditation Prompt
1. Take a moment after repeating this Blessism to reflect on how it makes you feel.
2.  As you reflect on this intention and sit in the quiet, notice how it feels to send love and appreciation to these people, situations, difficulties, or challenges, instead of feeling anxious or resentful.
3.  Think about some ways you can acknowledge, bless, and accept your present life circumstances, where you are in the moment.
4.  Make a pact with yourself to bless the mess and find the gratitude and joy along life’s crooked path and think about some intentions or blessings you can create to keep yourself grounded in this love and nonattachment as you go through your day.
