Istijlál (Majesty), 6 Qawl (Speech) 176 B.E. - Thursday, November 28, 2019 Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha and Thanksgiving
PROMP:T November 28th - Today, the prompt intentionally asks you to be succinct. It is also an invitation to enjoy your day first, before sitting down to write your entry, which I know is not the typical habit of some of you. But bear with me Intentionally enjoy your day before writing today’s entry. Be present with your family and friends or make an effort to do something you love. At the end of the day, when you are content and the house is quiet, write a maximum of five sentences describing the most positive thing you will remember about today. I contacted my siblings either over the phone or on Facebook and wished them a Happy Thanksgiving. I made an earlier entry in this blog called "November 28, 2019" and posted it on Facebook. I transferred a poem to "Poem Experiments" titled "Halloween Epiphany: Scary Halloween" . I added a poem to "To Baha'u'llah" in "Devotional Poetry" . I'm waiting for the chicken and dressing to get done so we can have our Thanksgiving dinner. |
