Faith

I was listening to the radio show speaking of faith. I do not remember who it was being interviewed. The statement was " In the muslim and jewish traditions there are requiered ativities, where as the christians just have faith to rely on."
As a Quaker child I was taught that my entire life was an expression of my religion. How I worked or played. How I rested, what I read. My daily activities proved to me and all around me the strenght of my christian ideals. Everyday is Sunday - deserving of praise.www.speakingoffaith.com

To my Phaedrus

When we were introduced 30 years ago, professors said you were complicated. You hid your secrets from the world. You were discussed, but they told me your true meaning was allusive.
I looked at the black board staring at your thoughts and you were astonishingly clear. I couldn't believe you were so blatantly obvious. Why didn't they see you?
I jumped up to tell all that would listen to your secrets. Half way thru my outburst of telling your secrets, I started worrying I was betraying you. I ran from the room. I read some where that mystical secrets needed to stay that way.
Can I tell them now? The world is awakening. Conscious creation is apart of the worlds discussion.
Now that 30 years have pased, is there more you want to tell me?

Compassion

Charter for compassion.org has started.
Thank you Karen Armstrong for bring this to us.
I teach my son to play nice with the other kids and to feel thier point of view.
We as adults don't do it enough ourselves. No matter what our belief system is we are still heading in the same direction. To a place of loving our nieghbor.

Gratitude

I need to be grateful everyday.
I am grateful for my house and all that it gives me.
I am grateful for the oppritunity to work my dream job.
I am grateful for my health always improving.

Yes Mr. Emerson gratitude is very important along with positive thought leading to inspired action.
Some days thats hard to remember and other days its easy.
Today the mental fortitude has led to a day of gratitude.

Smile

I over heard the cutest converstion at work the other day. One of the musicians that was playing had just finished a song, with an expression on his face of hopeful expectation. A girls across from him told him that he had dropped something. The musician rolled his eyes waiting for applause. She happily said "you dropped your smile. Now pick it up".
Smiling is contagious. Once someone starts it spreads so quickly.
I smile with customers... 
I need to smile more at home for no one but me.
