I sure do appreciate you too Linda. I know practicing attention is a key practice for all of us to grow and learn more about. Let’s explore and learn together!

It’s too easy to get lulled into oblivion by all that tries to catch our attention. I look forward to your gleanings in the months ahead. You feed my soul and I am so appreciative of your how you live out your faith. Bless you.

I need to be Spirit-filled. I don’t want to get in front of God’s design.

I don’t necessarily write a lot but still make it a daily practice to write down at least one thing I’m grateful for. Just reviewing the day to decide what to write is beneficial, as I ponder all the ways God touches my life. BUT! I’m looking forward to perusing your ABCs of Attention and incorporating more awareness-strategies into my days. Thank you, Jean!

Blessings, Jean!
