BE THANKFUL...

WE MUST BE THANKFUL FOR ...
By M. Raymond Sheppard

  • We must be thankful for the offer and willingness to help, not the outcome.
  • We must be thankful for the challenges, not just the successes,
  • We must be thankful for the spirited debate, not just the resolution,
  • We must be thankful for the child that tries to cheer us up when we are down and the child that tries to help another child, not just the child that does his/her chores,
  • We must be thankful not just for what the Creator has done, but what he/she hasn't done,
  • We must be thankful for our trails and tribulations, not just our glorious victories,
  • We must be thankful for the clothes on our back, and not ungrateful for the style they lack.
  • We must be thankful for the $10 we might have today that we didn't have yesterday, and let go of the fact that we did not get the thousand we wanted,
  • We must be thankful for the hug our loved one gave to us, although they did not say they loved us,
  • We must be thankful for the meal we had today, and not dwell on the one we might have dreamed of,
  • We must be thankful for the job we have now, not just the one we might get or wished we had,
  • We must be thankful for that friend that is with us and supports us, not just the best friend that isn't there,
  • We must be thankful for the survivors of natural catastrophes, and be thankful for the memory of those we might have lost,
  • We must be thankful for all things.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there -- lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
-Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY - Judgement

Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
-Dandamis, sage (4c BCE)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but that of reason. 
-Mary Wollstonecraft, reformer and writer (1759-1797) 

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY


Time changes all things: there is no reason why language should escape this universal law. 
-Ferdinand de Saussure, linguist (1857-1913) 

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time. 
-Josh Billings, columnist and humorist (1818-1885) 

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Morality is contraband in war. 
-Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) 

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY


A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
-Albert Einstein, physicist, Nobel laureate (1879-1955)

Resolution

I came across this poem. It's simple and yet effective in realigning one's resolutions for the New Year. I thought it'd make a good read for the February.

Resolutions
 
Ian Bach

This year...
I'll take more time to laugh and smile,
To feel the wind upon my face,
To learn true wisdom from a child,
Give my soul the needed space,
To live life pure and clear.


This year...
I'll learn to turn off my computer,
Interact with human beings,
Spend less time in online stupor,
More time learning, breathing, seeing
All that life holds dear.


This year…
I will resolve to write that letter
That I have too long neglected,
Make an aching heart feel better,
Cheer a friend who feels dejected,
Bring someone some cheer.


This year...
I'll not be hijacked by my deadlines,
Or imprisoned by ambitions.
Or let dismal, gloomy headlines
Dictate my heart's disposition.
I'll choose faith, not fear.


This year...
I'll see the struggling flower beneath
The hard, frosty exterior
Of one who lets frustration seethe
Because they feel inferior.
I'll try to draw them near.


This year...
No high-and-mighty resolutions
Fit for presidents and kings.
I'll start a quiet revolution,
Seek these simple loving things
Above wealth or career.

Words, like eyeglasses, obscure everything they do not make clear.
