MONDAY~ President's Day

Snow again overnight.

What had just begun to melt… now covered once more.

A fresh layer of white resting over the yard like a quiet reset.

There’s something about snow that slows everything down, It softens sound. It pauses movement. It invites stillness.

After beginning my morning with my Morning Covenant Prayer, I wrapped my hands around a warm cup of coffee and sat for a few moments just watching the snowfall settle.

And instead of feeling frustrated that winter isn’t finished yet… I felt gratitude.

Because seasons — both in nature and in life — don’t follow our timelines.They follow God’s.

This morning I’ve been working on something that feels deeply aligned with my purpose — updating my Ageless Wisdom Skool community.

New cover picture. New categories. Preparing to build the classrooms.

It may seem like small steps to someone else, but to me it feels like planting seeds.

Seeds of connection. Seeds of hope. Seeds of opportunity for people who may feel isolated or limited by circumstance.

There was a time when I believed life slowed down after retirement.

Now I understand — life simply changes direction.

Purpose doesn’t retire.

Calling doesn’t expire.

Growth doesn’t stop because of age or weather or circumstance.

If anything, those things refine it.

And just like the snow covering the ground again today, sometimes progress looks hidden for a moment.

But underneath… something is still growing.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Even when progress feels slow or covered over, God is still working beneath the surface.

PRAYER

God,

Thank You for seasons — both the visible ones outside our windows and the unseen ones inside our lives. Help us trust that growth is still happening, even when we cannot see immediate results. Bless the work of our hands today, the ideas forming in our hearts, and the communities we are building. Give us patience with the process, faith in the direction, and peace in the present moment. Remind us that purpose continues to unfold at every age and in every season.

Amen. 🙏

Until tomorrow, may you feel steady, hopeful, and quietly confident that what you’re building matters.

With love,

Grandma Grady 💛
