To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.

May all be filled with joy and peace. May all beings everywhere, The strong and the weak, The great and the small, The meek and the powerful, The short and the long, The subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere, Both seen and unseen, Dwelling far off or nearby, Being, or waiting to become: May all be filled with lasting joy.
Let no one deceive another, Let no one anywhere despise another, Let no one out of anger or resentment Wish suffering to anyone at all.
Just as a mother with her own life Protects her child, her only child, from hurt, So within yourself let grow A boundless love for all creatures.
Let your love flow outward through the whole universe To its full height, depth, and broad extent, Then, as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one pointed mind: Your life will bring heaven to earth.

THE ANGEL OF SERENITY. I FEEL SERENE AND TRANQUIL WHEN I ACCEPT WHO I AM. THIS ANGEL HELPS ME TO LIVE MY LIFE SERENELY, FIND SOLUTIONS TO CONFLICTS, AND FIND ULTIMATE HAPPINESS WITHIN MYSELF.

True humility doesn't consist of thinking ill of yourself but of not thinking of yourself much differently from the way you'd be apt to think of anybody else.

Mikey called me early this morning. He said just checking on me but he started to ask me something and changed his mind – he decided to talk it over with his mother first. I suspect that it was about the Silverwood trip. I need to make some plans on that. He asked if I was working and what I did on my job. That was interesting. I told him about some stuff I had sent to him and hopefully it gets there today. I will check if they need stuff, food, or gas for the support card. It really made my day that he called. I plan to go to TriCities and go to the Natural Food store and eat at the Italian Restaurant. Eventually I hope to end up at the baseball game. It may get fairly warm again today.
