Good Morning All! Barney your post reminded me of today's reflections A Day At A Time. Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 02:59:21 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Today's thought is: Reflection for the Day Can I be wholeheartedly grateful for today? If so, I'm opening doors to more and more abundant good. What if I can't be thankful for the "rain" that has fallen in my life--for the so-called bad times? What then? I can begin by giving thanks for all the sunshine I can remember, and for every blessing that has come my way. Perhaps then I'll be able to look back over the rainy periods of my life with new vision, seeing them as necessary; perhaps then, hidden blessings I've overlooked will come to my attention. Am I grateful for all of life--both the sunshine and the rain? Today I Pray May I be grateful for all that has happened to me, good and bad. Bad helps to define good. Sorrow intensifies joy. Humility brings spirituality. Disease turns health into a paradise. Loneliness makes love, both human and Divine, the greatest gift of all. I thank God for the contrasts which have made me know Him better. Today I Will Remember I am grateful for the whole of life. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Today's meditation comes from the book A Day at a Time by Anonymous copyright 1989 *************************************************** How do we appreciate the rainbows in life unless we have the dark clouds full of rain and sometimes violent weather to go through before the rainbow? Wishing you a transformational, denominational,ecumenical day! Santiago

HI OMB, I'm sorry to hear of your wife's health problems, I wish you both the best of health going forward..... You're right about Chicago sports, it isn't what it used to be(although the white sox could make me happy). I am still a Unitarian Universalist, and just ended a two year term as co-chairmen of our local Unitarian food bank. As far as making heaven is concerned, I hope I make it too!:-) Although it have to depend on my intentions and not my religious declarations. Wishing you the best, Mark

OMB you got more alias's than the FBI most wanted. Hello stranger, like Mark, I wandered back in to see if you were still around. Glad to hear mama is still with you and hope the light stroke had complete recovery. Doctors told me May 99 I had 6 mos to year at best. Both main arteries completely blocked and inoperable. Angioplasty balloon wouldnt open. Well tried to get everything in order for Margaret and fretted for a while on dying and got fed up with it. I figured all I ever had was a day at a time and I would try to spend that in preparing to live. Got back into stocks full blast and portfolio up last year almost triple. In a year that most IRA's lost about half. Attitude affects your daily living. Plan some pleasurable events for mama like a homecoming, or celebration of special events. Make her life as happy as possible and think of her living fully each day and not dying. Explain to yourself what Paul meant when he said "Til Christ be formed in you". Tis in your bible u know. LOL Meanwhile let old Marcus find his own way. The windy city kid is on the path to Glory.
