BOOK 08, CHAPTER 5, PAGE 11

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

Oprah Winfrey

Being a blessing to others can

— and should — mean action,

but the wise ones remind us it starts

 with an attitude of heart:

When we are truly "in our heart,"

 when we are truly caring,

we think about other people as 

much as we think about ourselves.

And when we say to ourselves,

 "I hope that I'll be well;

I hope that I'll have enough,"

right away our mind goes to other people,

and we hope they will be well and

we hope they will have enough.

And in that way, every time

we think about ourselves,

we are also thinking about

the needs of other people and

recognizing the basic humanity

and the basic beauty in every

human being in all diverse cultures.

 Joan Borysenko

 

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE!

Just thought I'd let you all know that I'm alive and well but have been having some major computer problems.  I have defragged and run a virus scan on my laptop this evening and now it is once again working.  NO virus so it must have needed the defragging.

I don't have the pictures downloaded from this past weekend yet, but soon I'll have them in one of my entries.  Thursday into Friday we had rain...Saturday the sun came out...and today it rained again.  Still no grass at the campground, but now we have some straw layed down along with some more grass seed. 

I had a great dayweekend with the 'camping' babes and heard from all my children one way or another.  It's a blessing to me that they are all doing well. 

I'm working on the big computer as I make this entry, hopefully defragging will help it out too.  It  is not good to have 2 computers and both not working right.

See you all in the morning!

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Despite our own problems, most of us start each morning wanting to bring something good to the world today. And — however awkwardly or incompletely — many of us succeed! Today we can celebrate our intention to be a blessing to others without expectation of reward

Celebrate, respect, enjoy, give to and make the most of life. It is a gift more precious, more positively powerful than anyone can imagine.

Ralph Marston

Here’s wishing

That each day of yours

Be BRIGHT

And BEAUTIFUL!
