Today's Meditation:
"Reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them...Go on your way lightheartedly."* Knowing I am not responsible for my thoughts being evil until I become aware of them is very liberating. I don't need to worry about what I haven't realized, an impossible task to be sure. Not to diminish the fact that I need to own up and be responsible for what I have realized. There are some broken relationships in my life that I am out of control to fix. I am allowed to have thoughts about these in a caring and loving way but it's not healthy for me to linger on thoughts of contempt.

Reference Letters: As I have been submitting job applications it has been so encouraging to read the reference letters written for me. The precise examples and broad statements of confidence in me gives me great confidence and a comforting sense of support.
Job Opening: How amazing that yesterday the last day before I posted my 21st Day of Thanksgiving I learned that a job I've been waiting and hoping for has officially opened. I in no way think that I a shoe-in but I am excited to hope, dream and pursue it. I find the timing of this opening amazing as I would never have considered applying for this position under ANY other circumstances.
Day 21: I've enjoyed the journey of writing these last 21 Days This journey made me aware (through the comment of a friend) to read the book "Love Wins" by Rob Bell that is both comforting and challenging me. In the days ahead I will be considering other topics to Blog about. In the mean time, I will continue to share thanksgiving and meditations from time to time.
