The Joy of giving! Beautiful!

This takes me back to the most pivotal day of my life. That day I discovered that everything, every moment, every experience is a gift. Life does not occur that way to most of us most of the time. Why? That leads me to the the second most pivotal day of my life, the day that I learned that receptivity is everything. "What am I willing to receive?" For every moment, the manner in which we receive determines what is received. On the day of that first pivotal event, I was indicted for criminal charges that I didn't know were committed. I was totally crushed, horrified. I wanted to disappear and never be seen again. I learned to receive those indictments as a gift, and this changed my life forever. I will always be grateful for that event, even though the consequences of it were staggering. Why? I live a life of personal and spiritual freedom that I would have missed without it.

Although I love the sentiment, i sure hope some of that paper could be reused! The chalk, the small ribbons, the signs all brilliant. But we need to remember that paper itself is a gift, all our resources are gifts as great as today is a gift. Am I a curmudgeon? You can see it that way, but i would hope next time this beautiful message is accompanied by an earth ethic too.

The JOY it brought to me, seeing other people who share my feelings about the gift of
just ONE precious day. A BLESSING

Good news,

A bit more history on the Lakeview community for those who may be interested: http://interactive.wbez.org/curiouscity/chicago-japanese-neighborhood/

Just for reference - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_View,_Chicago

I was curious about the community where this occurred and how we might do the same elsewhere.

This is so amazing! I want to steal the idea and replicate it in my community!!

So easy to forget.. thanks for the reminder : )

This is so deeply lovely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We need more positive spontaneity like this!

When I started watching the video, I was reminded of the dear Amy Krouse Rosenthal. And there, at the end of the video, was her name!! She made the world a much better place. I love this idea!

Don't get wrapped up in tomorrow. So overwhelming & beautiful!!
