Gather ....

We all gather. We gather flowers for bouquets. We gather ingredients for recipes. We gather friends and family for dinners and parties. But for me, Sunday is my Day to Gather my Thoughts. It is a healing day. It is a day when I have large expanses of time to mull and ponder. I try to hem my weekly thoughts in catagories and throw out the bad. Toss those toxic thoughts and ideas that have festered over the past seven days. I then focus on those that have been productive, those that have entertained, enlightened and taught. Maybe words I've read. Possibly things I've heard that have lifted my spirits. With this effort, I thrive. I grow. I become a better mother, wife, friend and teacher. I gather.
