Thought For Today From My Jumbled Brain



From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being. ~ by Unknown ~


"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."-unknown

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. by Henri Nouwen

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. by Carl Jung

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. by Buddha

Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. by Margaret Cousins

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. by Anne Bradstreet

I have much to be grateful for today:
My Family
My puppies
My friends, both in and out of the program
My health
The sunshine
The meeting I have this afternoon
The guidance I have received today
The Freedom to meditate
The lessons life brings everyday
My Sister, my soulmate.
