Good morning all y'all! Our first Monday Mental Health Moment Movement (walk!) has happened. A beautiful morning, movement, noticing, conversation, and a prayer too. We talked a bit about the hardness of life (it is a reality even if/when things are going really well!), wanting greater capacity & willingness for us all to hold the hard & move through it -- to be able to name/mention things -- we even discussed how Mr. Rogers said everything is mentionable -- and if it is mentoonable then it is manageable. We reflected on the recent deaths in our community and talked about su***de and how hard su***de is for all people (it touches everyone). We ended in prayer....and so here's a prayer & some pics from this AM. God please bless us - all of Spencer & Van Etten & Candor too. Lord bless us totally our physical bodies & our mental health - give us strength, capacity, wisdom. Bless us with caring communities. God encourage each of us where we are. Bless our sleep, our food, our work, our relationships, and the fullness of our lives - remind each of us we are not alone - You are with us and You love us. In Jesus' Name - Amen.
