Thoughts sent to me from John

Love the people in your life with your eyes open.

Let them know that they do not need to be perfect to have your love.



Get out there!

Go fly a kite. Literally.

You can do it with your walker, with your wheelchair, with a friend, with a caregiver,

or even if you need a break from caregiving (or any other "trouble").



It doesn’t cost anything but time and the kite supplies.



The weather is hot, so take an cool drink, an umbrella to sit under, or sunscreen.

Take a radio, or a book. Set the kite free, tie it to your wheelchair or to a stake in the ground, and enjoy the moment.



Stay out there for at least 30 minutes. Ponder the power of the wind,

the seemingly magical way the kite flies in one direction or another,

and how there’s a struggle to get it to the right height before it can soar.



Realize the Lord is in control.

Have faith in Him.

Give Him your troubles.

Feel contetment wash over you.
