Hump Day (no photographs)

Those of us who have come to make regular use of prayer would no more do without it than we would refuse air, food, or sunshine. And for the same reason. When we refuse air, light, or food, the body suffers. And when we turn away from meditation and prayer, we likewise deprive our minds, our emotions, and our intuitions of vitally needed support.

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for the reminders being thrown in my face this week

that Scott chaired a meeting about surrender - amongst many other things

that keeping a good attitude and being nice to a stranger can reap many rewards

for planning, preparation and presentation (see above & below)

that I completed a major hurdle towards getting a certain someone accepted into a College program

for gains and losses in the elections yesterday

Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.
-Motto of the Special Olympics
