If someone listens, or stretches out a hand, or whispers a word of encouragement, or attempts to understand a lonely person, extraordinary things begin to happen. ~Loretta Girzartis

Today I am grateful...

• that I dreamt about him again. It's been a long time.
• that MC is my hero, even though Mickey's blog is back. But he did start it over.
• for lunch with Katy yesterday. She and I started in the rug business at the same time and we have this great connection. We toured the gallery and really enjoyed each other's company.
• that YouTube has lots of Cher videos and I watched a whole lot of them last night with the volume turned way up
• that today is Zane's 16th birthday (not a well woman at all)

Today I humbly ask my Higher Power for the grace to find the space between my impulse and my action; to let flow a cooling breeze when I would respond with heat; to interrupt fierceness with gentle peace; to accept the moment which allows judgment to become discernment; to defer to silence when my tongue would rush to attack or defend. I promise to watch for every opportunity to turn toward my Higher Power for guidance. I know where this power is: it resides within me, as clear as a mountain brook, hidden in the hills - it is the unsuspected Inner Resource. I thank my Higher Power for this world of light and truth I see when I allow it to direct my vision. I trust it today and hope it trusts me to make all effort to find the right thought or action today. ~Daily Reflections
