February 25, 2019-
Today is the first day of Ayyam-i-Ha, the Baha’i Intercalary Days, which belong to none of our nineteen spiritual calendar months , of nineteen days. It is a time of special service activities, some gift giving and group celebrations. In regular Gregorian years, like this one, the period consists of four days, and in Leap Years, five days.
Today also found us back at work, continuing on with the revised program. Things went smoothly. The weather is improving, again, and our little team is getting stronger, as small problems get resolved, in a congenial manner, before they become big issues.
Yesterday, part of my time was spent dealing with individual snow-disposal issues, This evening found another matter with which to assist: A returning traveler needed to have her car cleared, before she got back on the shuttle from Phoenix-so, Ayyam-i-Ha service activity # 1 was accomplished.
I stopped by Ms. Natural’s, and finally met the owner’s husband-on his own way back to work. The establishment will be a key part of my own Healthy Spring-in essence, a continuation of the regimen I am promised when I visit Korea.
Acts of kindness add to the goodness in the world. Though a blessing to those that receive it seems it returns double to those performing the kind and beneficent actions… A wonderful practice and one I think should extend to every day all year!
