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

A spiritual experience can be the realization that a life which once seemed empty and devoid of meaning is now joyous and full. ~Daily Reflections
.
Today I am grateful...
  • that my taxes for 2008 were electronically filed yesterday
  • that our Dave called me Saturday to tell me about Negar telling her story
  • that I could sit in my car yesterday and speak with someone in Kansas at Starbucks (they do not use an apostrophe) and have those laughs bounce off a satellite. Technology constantly amazes me.
  • that there are things that bring me joy today and they are abundant!
  • that my nephew is doing well in rehab
  • that you will watch the video in the post below and sign the petition

I truly want what you truly want—nothing different and nothing more. Don’t you see that is My greatest gift to you? If I wanted for you something other than what you want for you, and then went so far as to cause you to have it, where is your free choice? How can you be a creative being if I am dictating what you shall be, do, and have? My joy is in your freedom, not your compliance. ~Conversations with God

good for Ryan!!

I talked to my aunt in Germany with skype & webcam yesterday, it seemed she was sitting across the table from me. Except she kept yelling like it was olden days on a party line.

nice idea today. IT made me spend a little time thinking about what I'm thankful for.

P.S. I'm linking to you but haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with LoLaSuzanne so haven't put it out there yet. Let me know if you'd like to withdraw the link.
