“… I bring awareness to shine upon all life …”  ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

As we enter 2025, we invite you to reflect on Thich Nhat Hanh’s recommendations on how to wake up every day

Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and to
look at all beings with eyes of compassion.

Thay adds: “…What better way to start the day than with a smile? Your smile affirms your awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. How many days slip by in forgetfulness? What are you doing with your life? Look deeply, and smile. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. …”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Thay’s opening quote and the “waking up” italicized text is excerpted from : “Present Moment Wonderful Moment: Mindfulness Verses for Daily Living, by Thich Nhat Hanh.

 

May you remain safe and healthy.
