IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Giving is in harmony with God's will. It is a shining act of love. Give liberally as God gives. -- Swami Muktananda

Today I am grateful...
  • to have all I need at this moment
  • for two nights of quality rest to recover my aching, pathetically out of shape body
  • that I survived the visit to Chester's vet to take them his left over meds so some needy pup can use them and for the gesture of touching my arm by the tech when she asked how I was doing. I was sad afterward and it left me reserved the rest of the day, but I made it through.
  • to have been given a new lease on life
  • for fellowship in all its forms
  • that autumn is here, finally

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver. -Maya Angelou

The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. -Heda Bejar
