Just For Fun - Geriatrics' Prayer

Grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

                                       Amen!

One day, Gandhi was boarding a train. As he was doing so, one of his sandals slipped from his foot and landed near the track. Suddenly, the train began pulling away, leaving him no time to retrieve his sandal. Immediately, Gandhi removed the other sandal and tossed it back to lie with the other one alongside the track. When an astonished fellow passenger asked him why he did this, Gandhi replied: “Now the poor man who finds it will have a pair he can use.”

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.
~Peace Pilgrim

It is right and necessary that we should be individuals. The Divine Spirit never made any two things alike—no two rosebuds, two snowflakes, two grains of sand, or two persons. We are all just a little unique for each wears a different face; but behind each is the One Presence—God.
~Ernest Holmes

Affirmation

Where Our Thoughts Go

Where our thoughts go,
so goes our life.
We are the creators of heaven and hell,
And the sooner we recognize our co-creative abilities, the sooner we can go about the business of crafting the work of art we are intended to be!
                         ~KJ

"We have seen too much defeatism, too much pessimism, too much of a negative approach.  The answer is simple: If you want something very badly, you can achieve it.  It may take patience, very hard work, a real struggle, and a long time; but it can be done... faith is a prerequisite of any undertaking..."
   -  Margo Jones
