“When I am thickening my plots, I like to think ‘What if … What if … ‘ Thus my imagination can move from the likely, which everyone can think of, to the unlikely-but-possible, my preferred plot.”

🤗 A Better Life ~ Signs of Light
I’ve lost count of how many have told me they can’t wait for 2020 to finish. They say it is the worse year of their lives. It’s true, it’s been a very rough year filled with pain, sorrow, and suffering for so many. Yet, in the midst of the darkness I continue to see signs of light. I see people working to bring healing, compassion, and loving support. I see more people taking time to work together. Yes, it’s been tough, but we are tougher and together we will grow something beautiful out of this. Stay Strong. Stay Healthy.
👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ Shine Your Light
I’m going to shine my light. I’ll greet everyone with a brimming smile (even if it’s hidden by my face mask). I’ll offer an encouraging word. And, I’ll send a quick prayer their way.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ On Love
On Love
Kahil Gibran
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. 18To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstacy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Today’s Smile 😃
Joe: “My boss fired me today.”
Pete: “What did you do?”
Joe: “Nothing. When my boss asked me who is the stupid one, me or him? I told him everyone knows he doesn’t hire stupid people.”
