Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and to look
at all beings with eyes of compassion.
-Thich Nhat Hanh

- Life can sometimes be a wrestling match between love and fear. We can CHOOSE which to embrace. Every day. On my "to do" list? Breathe, hope, notice, invite, love, create, wonder, celebrate.

Want what you have.
Do what you can.
Be who you are.

simple gifts
'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves
in the place just right
'Twill be in the valley
of love and delight.

That is wonderful - compassion is what I have gained with age, I think, and I do strive for it. I tried to get Thich Nhat Hanh's book from the library, but had no success over here.
