Happy Easter folks. 🐥

Happy Easter folks,

Easter is not just about a bank holiday to eat chocolate eggs its a celebration that should symbolise peace, hope and change for the better.

We are sadly a consumer society and Easter eggs symbolise this so here's something to think about, feeling anger with those we don't agree with achieves nothing positive and peace starts with 'us' as individuals when societies are very divided and polarised at the moment, so we need to show benevolence to those we digress with and treat each other with respect, with no ifs or buts.

So here's wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Easter and don't be afraid to hold your hand out in friendship to others.

Jerry 😊

What a great post Hidden I don’t follow any formal religion so Easter does not have specific significance to me, but today seems like a day to be very grateful for what we have. It is a beautiful sunny day, my plans have changed as it’s too hot for Buzzy dog to go on the greyhound walk in full sun so we’re heading off to bluebell woods where it will be quiet peaceful and shady, no where better to be mindful of the beautiful nature around us, and grateful to live somewhere where we can access this easily. I almost always meet lovely people and their dogs while I’m walking. Grateful too for my sons and our plans for a family meal and table games later today as we couldn’t all do this at Christmas due to work shifts.

Thank you Fran, this sounds wonderful to me, bluebell woods are so tranquil so I agree that we have to appreciate what we have and enjoying nature is so good for us.

I hope that you enjoy your day now,

Jerry 😊

We do not have to be Christian to enjoy Christmas or Easter - any excuse for a party.

Hi S11m you are very right that we do conform to some things and for various reasons, so have a great bank holiday. 👍

I'm a Few Days 'Late', reading this Jerry, but YES absolutely! I read the Easter Reading, at the Church, on Easter Day- What an Honour!

Best wishes, to All, Prayers to the People of Paris....and Notre Dame.

Better late than never AndrewT, I'm glad that you were honoured to read the Easter reading on Easter Sunday and felt honoured.

At least no one was hurt in the Notre Dame fire and the structure is sound.

I think we should also feel/pray for those who suffered in Sri Lanka when all they wanted to do was pray in church or be on an Easter holiday as over 250 have now died as a consequence of the totally barbaric and unnecessary atrocity. 🙏

[AndrewT in reply to Hidden]

Yes, you are right Jerry...I only DIDN'T mention it because I might, Very Well, use language inappropriate to these pages- if I had/did.

Prayers for those people too.
