Thistle & Flower

A  L  O  H  A !
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle 
and plant a flower wherever 
the flower would grow 
in thought and mind.
                    Abraham Lincoln










Reflect upon your present blessings, 
of which every one has many; 
not on your past misfortunes, 
of which all have some.
       Charles Dickens









When you arise in the morning, 
think of what a precious privilege 
it is to be alive - to breathe, 
to think, to enjoy, to love.
                  Marcus Aurelius

This is being appreciative of divine presence and blessings which should not be taken for granted!
