Todays Thought

My best friend found this on a blog she likes to dip into now and then and shared it with me. I think it's an extremely brilliant, positive way to look at life.


"Today I was thinking about age and how I feel about my own aging. I thought of something and wanted to share it with all of you.
Just suppose we could learn to see life not as something that gets used up but as the accumulation of treasure. Then with every passing year, we could see ourselves as having more life than we had the year before, because of all the new insights and experiences that the year brought us.”
I like to think of each passing year as the collection of wonderful pieces of treasure that its a delightful picture. Think of how full our chests will be—indeed already are—if we view are lives as amassed fortune rather than spent wealth?"

"Live in each season as it passes,
breathe the air, drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and resign yourself
to the influence of each."
--Henry David Thoreau

“People usually
consider walking on water
or in thin air a miracle.

But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water
or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.

Every day we are engaged
in a miracle which
we don't even recognize:
a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Patti, I sometimes think you read my mind...when I'm struggling to understand something, I come here and you've found what I've been thinking in my heart or looking for the words to say. It is much too easy to "run away"...and there is so much to be learned about ourselves by staying the course.

I'm so grateful and blessed to have found such kindred spirits in "Inspiration and Prayers".

WE are
all blessed
to have found
one another~~I am
so thankful

May our dance always be a bridge to understanding.
May our dance always be a celebration of diversity.
May our dance always be an instrument for peace. ~ Laurel Victoria Gray





Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness
has never danced in the rain.

Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances. ~ Maya Angelou

I read this on a greeting card and just loved the sentiment...

You can't put love in a box,
But you can wrap a person in a hug.

Sherry they
are great...thank you

don't know how to laugh either.

It is a state of grace."

I don't know why we are in such a hurry to get up when we fall down. You might think we would lie there and rest awhile.
