thought for the day...

I give Julia (Pehrson) credit for this thought --as she found it in a book about running for women

It has such great insight--and is my wish that I also wanted to share it,

wouldn't you agree --it sums up some great ideals to work towards?? I do --I am going to try

Good reminder to me I think--as Satan likes to use his tool of plain old jealousy on me at times

Here it goes:

"I wish we could always support each other without comparing. I wish we could always allow others to be sad without trying to fix it. I wish we could always be happy for someone else without seeing the holes in our own lives. I wish we could always share in another's gratitude for good fortune instead of poisoning it with our own regret. I wish we could always laugh together without our mirth coming at the expense of someone else. I wish we could always lift each other up without having to be on top. I wish we could always applaud others' gifts without pining. I wish we could always freely celebrate our own gifts without feeling the need to play small."

a little something to think on--as we do the dishes and drive around- so many good things are happening to others--in our neighborhoods and families -we'll get to practice this motto--right off the bat.. I bet. I hope I get to.
