Transcript

Today, I woke up in this world. My heart is filled with gratitude. This new day offers so many possibilities. What to do? Where to go? Who to see? What to say? Before setting out to make use of the gift of this new day, Let me pause, Give thanks, And answer the question, How will I use the precious gift of this new day? Let me not add to the troubles of the world, Or add to the troubles of the people I meet. Maybe that should be my first resolution. And after that, What can I do to ease the troubles of this world? To make easier the passage through this life of the people I come across on the journey. This day offers so much opportunity. Let me keep my eyes open to its many possibilities, So that the gift of this new day will not slip through my fingers unnoticed. Namaste.

Love this! What a difference this made for me today!! Thanks so much 🤗

Thank you Tom for this short and thought provoking story message.🙏🌅

This short meditation was exactly what I didn’t know I needed this morning. The teachers voice felt like a warm hug at sunrise—kind, grounding, and full of genuine care. His words were beautiful on their own, but the way he spoke them made them sink in even deeper. It felt like being reminded, gently and sincerely, that today holds possibility, peace, and purpose. Such a small recording, but it left a big impact. Thank you for starting my day with light.

Short and powerful talk that fully summed up my meditations this morning. “May the gift of this day not slip through my fingers unnoticed.” 🙏🏼

Always a comfort to hear your words of support and wisdom Tony—Namaste
