Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
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,

Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.

The River of Life flows without emotion.
The River surges. The River quiets.
The River overflows its banks. The River dries to a trickle.
The River swirls and storms. The River becomes calm.

The River is indifferent to what benefit
or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.

Honoring our bodies - and overstressing.
Being Joyful - and Suffering.

my friends in the holiday season is to pause
with a long enough quality to actually SEE them.

I remember our times of together
and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

Pain is a difficult companion. There's no getting around that.
But, if pain is to be a companion, searching and discovering
your own best ways to travel with that pain
will lead you to the joy that you long to have.

and the experiences of others may inspire you,
ultimately it will be the choices you discover
and make for yourself that lead you to certain joy
in the midst of your challenges.

Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

FAITH enough to make real the things of God;
HOPE enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

with patience and equanimity.

Patience is an ever present alternative
to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.
Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find
lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.
It's the strong energy of not wanting things to be the way they are
and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
- Lao Tzu

the tools God uses to show us the way.

or how high you climb
but how well you bounce.

it is foolish to turn off the heat.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman,
before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

The price of success is hard work,
dedication to the job at hand,
