Hi everyone! We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am thankful for the beautiful mess that The Great one left me with last week and will again on Monday.
Today is M day in The A-Z Blogging Challenge. Meditating can relax you and make you happy. So far, it hasn’t been able to calm my monkey mind. Here are some free meditations geared toward happiness.
Guided Meditation for Centred Happiness (Free Mindfulness Meditation MP3 Download) – YouTube
A Meditation to Cultivate Greater Joy | Jack Canfield – YouTube
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two. The linky stays open until Wednesday night.
That is one beautiful mess. Thanks for pictures
Thank you. XO
Looks like someone had a lot of fun! 🙂 <3
🙂
The Great One certainly did leave a mess, but it shows that she had a lovely time.
She sure did. XO
We know how much you love having The Great One visit and any mess is a beautiful mess because you’ve been together!
Hugs, Pam
Exactly. XO
It looks like she had a wonderful time and I know you did, too. And Joanie!
We all did. Well, except the other 7 cats, most were hiding. XO
1. I wish I knew how to play golf!
2. If offered a free trip to space, I would turn it down.
3. Family is the most exciting thing in my life.
4. I could give a long lecture on the subject of compassion for others and for animals.
Great answers and you could still learn to golf. 🙂 XO
Fun times!!! Mom is going to check out those links for Meditation.
The Florida Furkids
I hope she likes them. 🙂 XO
What a mess indeed, but it’s worth is for sure. You’re looking forward to doing it again on Monday. Good for you.
I’m all ready for the Friendly Fill-ins.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥
Thank you. XO
I am thankful my kitty got her shots yesterday. We found a wonderful mobile vet, which made it a lot less stressful on us and Callie!
That is great! XO
Mine! Love your beautiful mess up there, by the way.
1. I wish I knew how to play Pac-man beyond level 2.
2. If offered a free trip to space, I would pack plenty of snacks.
3. The notion of how close I am to things I want is the most exciting thing in my life right now.
4. I could give a long lecture on the topic of grilled cheese sandwiches.
Thank you for these great answers. I always enjoyed pac-man, but was not good at it. I love grilled cheese. 🙂 Have a nice weekend.
Thank you for the great prompts! I was never good at any video games, which gave me more time to work on grilled cheese. Hope your weekend is great!
What a fun mess you all had, enjoy The Great One next week too! Meditation was the one thing that cured my insomnia – thank goodness for meditation. I don’t focus on any one thing, just empty my mind, which is much harder than you would think.
Yes, it is very hard. XO
MOL MOL the Great One has a great talent..
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. XO
I bet it was a lot of fun making the mess! XO
Yes, it was. 🙂 XO
Meditating and messes sounds pretty reasonable to us! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thank you. 🙂
Looks like she had a fun time!
I did too. 🙂
Those messes are ready for the next action session! All her pretty little projects! She is a crafts-lady!
Yes, she loves art. 🙂 XO
Love seeing that fabulous Mess! Great and we liked the Fill Ins too
Thank you. XO

I should try meditation some time. I’ve heard it can really clear your mind.
It is supposed to. Maybe I didn’t try the right ones for me. 🙂
I’ve been considering meditation, too. And that mess looks well worth the clean-up. 🙂 God bless!
I hope you have better luck with it than I did. XO
It’s fun to have kids around, and it’s fun to teach them to clean after themselves if you make it a game.
She knows how to tidy up, but she was so excited to be back that she kept rotating activities so we left them all out. 🙂
I’ve never tried meditating. I have my doubts that it would calm me down either.
🙂
With beautiful messes to keep you happy, you likely don’t need those meditations. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
That is a pawsome mess!
What a great mum 🙂
Purrs, Julie
Thank you. 🙂 XO
I’ve been meditating for about a year now although not so much this last month. I am intrigued by all of the benefits although still fairly “bad” at it. I think a focus on just staying in the moment is so important. Weekends In Maine
I need to work at it a lot more too.
Looks like lots of fun was had!
It sure was. 🙂
Meditating and Mindfullness are 2 of my favorite things during the day. I’m so glad that I learned both of these practices prior to having children and having made them part of my day though out my life. I LOVE your thankful! Playing with children is something that I miss.
Thank you. Yes, those are handy to know when raising little ones to keep your sanity. XO
That mess could have been of my two-feet siblings, Ellen, well…as long as they don’t mess up with me there’s no purroblem…MOL…Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to you all🐾😽💞
MOL! Hope you have a nice weekend too. XO
I can’t sit still long enough to meditate. LOL
Same here. 🙂

Meditation/prayer is a great way to soothe one’s mind and soul. God is in charge of all things!
