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

One of Many Thursdays

Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed. ~Booker T. Washington
Today I am grateful...
  • for the mute button, the channel change button and the off button. It's political ad season and I am over it.
  • for delightful company and excellent food at dinner hosted by Jane and Wilbur
  • that I can perform like a rational human outside of my comfort zone
  • that I would be very content to leave judgment and desire to gossip to others. Today I continue to offer those things to my Higher Power in efforts to free myself.
  • for a little more understanding every day
  • for courage to hang on while things pass
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for. ~Epicurus
Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. ~Thomas Edison
