It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.

be found in noise and restlessness.

We need silence to be able to touch souls.
- Mother Teresa

find an ample measure of my own joy.

Adding one to my count of days, or postponing
a feared death by another day do not inspire me.
I live to experience something new each day -

feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.

You can learn how to let go of the past.
Whether you have experienced a break up

whether death has taken a loved one,
whether you have had a feud with a friend or family member,

Move on and let go.
Life can be joyful and rewarding again.

When you are alone you are not alone,
you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.
When you are lonely you are thinking of the other,
you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state.
You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.
It would have been good if the other
were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive.
It is a presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence
that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
- Osho
You are my friend when you can guard my failure,

nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one

and your best friend will be there.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him,
for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low,
could still be saved; the bitterest enemy

love that has grown cold can kindle
- Soren Kierkegaard
