BOOK 08, CHAPTER 7, PAGE 31

If your love is for the left lane,

swing on over there and feel

the wind flying through your hair,

 and the bugs splatting

against your dark glasses.

But if the right lane beckons you,

indulge your penchant

for counting wildflowers

in the field or discarded

tennis shoes on the freeway.

Most important, we must all remember,

left-laners or right-laners,

we are to be tender with each other.

Marilyn Meberg

GOOD MORNING !

Kindness costs us nothing, and its potential benefits far outweigh the benefits of so many other things that we give our time and energy to.

Life is a mirror. It gives back to us what we give to it. People will treat us as we treat them. Kindness does make us feel better about ourselves too.

I often need to remind my self that all kinds of people need a little tenderness, not just those that have been kind to me. To give a smile, a moment of your time, a word of encouragement to someone can make a difference. To be tender with each other, to be kind and thoughtfulis like a beam of sunshine that chases away the clouds.

I guess today I better let my light shine. Just as soon as I finish my morning coffee that is…

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

People take different roads

seeking fulfillment and happiness.

Just because they're not on your road

doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

H. Jackson Browne

Should the heat become, too hot to bear,

and should trouble find you,

I hope you'll remember to fly

as gracefully as a butterfly above it all.

Just slip your sunglasses on,

kick back, and let the woes slide on by.

MA
