Simple Pleasures
Wed, 03/23/2011 - 11:36am
I'm posting this just as spring has come officially. It's the season for renewal and replenishment, and yet the news from the world this spring has been filled with images of conflict and natural disaster. The Japanese people, in particular, have been faced with unprecedented challenges.
How does anyone cope with such difficult challenges in life? Whenever I am faced with seemingly impossible situations out of my control, I have always found comfort and joy in simple pleasures of nature: the brightness of the moon, a bird's song, the budding of a flower.
Take a few minutes each day to focus your attention on the simple pleasures around you. Open your eyes to the beauty that surrounds you and you will discover the serenity you carry within yourself.

May I have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Live and Learn. Learn and Live Better! is my motto. I'm Mardy Ross, and I founded Lumigrate in 2008 after a career as an occupational therapist with a background in health education and environmental research program administration. Today I function as the desk clerk for short questions people have, as well as 'concierge' services offered for those who want a thorough exploration of their health history and direction to resources likely to progress their health according to their goals. Contact Us comes to me, so please do if you have questions or comments. Lumigrate is "Lighting the Path to Health and Well-Being" for increasing numbers of people. Follow us on social networking sites such as: Twitter: http://twitter.com/lumigrate and Facebook. (There is my personal page and several Lumigrate pages. For those interested in "groovy" local education and networking for those uniquely talented LumiGRATE experts located in my own back yard, "LumiGRATE Groove of the Grand Valley" is a Facebook page to join. (Many who have joined are beyond our area but like to see the Groovy information! We not only have FUN, we are learning about other providers we can be referring patients to and 'wearing a groove' to each other's doors -- or websites/home offices!) By covering some of the things we do, including case examples, it reinforces the concepts at Lumigrate.com as well as making YOU feel that you're part of a community. Which you ARE at Lumigrate!
