Feeling Hopeful
BOOK 08, CHAPTER 5, PAGE 28
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
Oprah Winfrey
How true it is that, if we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles, the air seems more balmy, the sky clearer, the earth has a brighter green. . . the flowers are more fragrant. . . and the sun, moon and stars all appear more beautiful, and seem to rejoice with us.
Orison Swett Marden
GOOD MORNING !
I’m back to work today. I’m sure the desk will be stacked with work to do and I’ll be tired out again at the end of the day, but I’m so glad I had the long weekend to enjoy with people I love and to get the rest that I needed.
It will be a short work week as we are already at ‘Hump Day’ . Our weather has turned cool once again but warming a little tomorrow. Rain is also in the forecast for Friday and maybe Saturday. I’ll be hoping that it changes again before the weekend.
I have to say that I am one ‘contented’ lady after my long weekend. It would be a grand thing if that feeling could last all week long.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
PRAISE
Oh, tell us, poet, what do you do?
I praise.
But the deadly and violent days,
How do you undergo them, take them in?
I praise.
But the nameless-how do you raise
That, invoke the unnamable
I praise
What right have you, through every phase,
In every mask, to remain true?
I praise
-and that both stillness and will affray
Know you, like star and storm?
Because I praise.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Translation by Denise Levertov, Light Up the Cave
No one is certain what tomorrow will bring. And yet you can always be certain that whatever it is, the best way to prepare for it is to live today with purpose and passion. You are rich beyond all measure because you have this day to live. Celebrate your good fortune by truly making it great.
Ralph Marston
Here’s wishing
That each day of yours
Be BRIGHT
And BEAUTIFUL!

to inspire me. (You do such a
good job, Thank You.) Pat
