Empathy is the

most radical of

human emotions. Gloria Steinem

To continue and to

continue and preserve

is power. What was hard to bear is sweet to remember. India Folk Wisdom

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. Frank Zappa

Gratitude Began as a choice A quiet practice, Faithful voice. I welcomed it into My ordinary days: For rain, for sun, My life’s winding ways. I thanked the morning, Thanked the pain, Lessons carried me Through the rain; For birds in flight, Warm cup near, a friendly word, That song to hear. Then, slowly, Something in me grew I saw how much Is good and true. Each breath Revealed a gift to me, Moments whispering, 'Receive and see' Now gratitude Is not a task, Or something I must remember to ask. It has taken root And sets me free— Gratitude Is living me!

A kind heart is a

fountain of gladness,

making everything

in its vicinity freshen

into smiles.
