Didn’t do much today other than help my friend work on their websites. I have a links page to add on my newest website and a link to add on several others. Gotta get out tomorrow and puyt out the fliers… should have done that already. Nothing on the agenda. All my friends are still talking to me… haven’t heard from my cousin Linda for a few days though… I heard yesterday that my grandmother fell and broke her leg just barely below her hip; today I heard that they can’t operate, she has a bladder infection, but that they will operate tomorrow… and the break is so close to the hip that they will have to do a partial hip replacement. This is very scary for me, since her father, my great-grandfather, broke his hip at 102 (she’s almost there) and the doctors did an artificial hip replacement surgery… he lived long enough to go home after surgery, and two weeks after… no way I can get out there to visit. Waaaaaah.<\/p>\n
Hugs,

May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.<\/p>\n
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation
with optimism and courage.<\/p>\n
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding
will always be there
even when you feel most alone.<\/p>\n
May you discover enough goodness in others
to believe in a world of peace.<\/p>\n
May a kind word, a reassuring touch,
a warm smile, be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.<\/p>\n
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.<\/p>\n
Teach love to those who know hate,
and let that love embrace you as you go into the world.<\/p>\n
May the teaching of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.<\/p>\n
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less
than you would have wished.<\/p>\n
May you not become too concerned
with material matters, but instead place
immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.<\/p>\n
Find time in each day to see the beauty
and love in the world around you.<\/p>\n
Realize that each person has limitless abilities,
but each of us is different in our own way.<\/p>\n
What you may feel you lack in one regard
may be more than compensated for in another.<\/p>\n
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.<\/p>\n
May you see your future
as one filled with promise and possibility.<\/p>\n
Learn to view everything
as a worthwhile experience.<\/p>\n
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent on another’s judgements
of your accomplishments.<\/p>\n
May you always feel loved.<\/p>\n

To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.<\/p>\n
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.<\/p>\n
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.<\/p>\n
To realize the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.<\/p>\n
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.<\/p>\n
To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.<\/p>\n
To realize the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.<\/p>\n
Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.<\/p>\n
