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

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can. ~Sydney Smith

Today I am grateful...
  • that I finally got my website live
  • to have and know gratitude in my life
  • that I ran into Boston yesterday as she was walking Jack
  • that I will be led where I need to go today
  • that my life is full of generous people
  • that I am still watching my priorities change

We are just as powerless over our successes as we are over the worst of our behaviors. We can only be faithful to our duties and ourselves. The successes, which flow from our work come and go. Since we can't nail them down, they may make us feel insecure. Many a man has destroyed his moment of success because he couldn't stand the powerless feeling. We must return to our program and allow success to rise and fall, as it will. ~Touchstones

I pushed the "website" button but it did not take me anywhere. I'm at work and there may be a firewall. dayum.
How fun to run into Boston and Jack.
I miss you.

Pam pointed out the broken link and I fixed it. I had added two Cs to my name. Oops!
