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

What if the interests of the self were expanded to ... a God's eye view of the human scene ... accepting failure as being as natural an occurrence as success in the stupendous human drama... as little cause for worry and concern as having to play the role of a loser in a summer theater performance.—Huston Smith
.
Today I am grateful...
  • that I have guides to direct me when I am emotionally confused
  • for patience. I can always use more patience.
  • for the role gratitude has played in making my life what it is today. I am not on sure footing this morning, things seem a little wobbly, but the faith and trust I have gained as a result of practicing gratitude make me aware I will survive life's little twists and turns. That will allow me to relax.

It is the work of a lifetime to develop to full stature spiritually. This is what I am on earth for. It gives meaning to my life. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

I agree - what we all need is a "...God's eye view...".

Here's to finding footings that will not fail us...

Blessings and aloha...

I love your gratitude! I love how you share it with us. I love how it MAKES me re-evaluate you my gratitude and when I leave your page I am always grateful!

I can never have enough patience. Failure as a part of life, just as much as success...Makes perfect sense. We can't learn without our mistakes. (Hugs)Indigo

I felt wobbly last night and still a bit so today from just being tired. I'll regroup for tomorrow.
