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

Today I am grateful...

  • for a brain on the mend
  • for eyes to see the real and the surreal
  • for a nose to sniff out the truth
  • for a mouth through which I can express myself
  • for a neck which holds my head high
  • for shoulders to carry a lightened burden
  • for arms to hug loved ones
  • for hands with which to create
  • for a chest to hold an expandable heart
  • for a heart in which God can rest
  • for lungs that carry the sound of God's name
  • for a spare tire that cushions
  • for organs to eliminate
  • for legs to carry me along the path
  • for feet to leave footprints

Oh Pammey, I can just imagine what you were thinking. Scott, don't forget the toes. They help men count to 21. OMIGOSH. Word verification is dykfly.

I am now loving the word dykfly.
I will use it soon, and probably often.
