FIND YOUR JOY! NOVEMBER 25, 2009 |

Let us give thanks.
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, JOY comes early this week. If you are a reader outside of the USA, feel free to wait until Friday to read this. Most people in the states are taking Friday off and will not be on their computers. Unless they are online shopping.
No matter where you live or what holidays you celebrate, thankfulness can be a way of life. We do not need a day on the calendar to tell us to give thanks. We do it every night in our journals. (Don't we?)
In case I have not told you lately, I am thankful for you.

Words to ponder:
When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life,
or in the life of another.

So true... |

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them in mutual weirdness and call it love.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy,
not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most
basic kind of peace work.

It's a lot.... |
Stats say that for a middle income family to raise a child from birth to age 18 (no college expenses in this figure) it will cost almost $200,000.
HOWEVER, you do get naming rights.
