Wow, that is profound and very timely. I like the part about all the details being the "wrapping paper".
If only we could realize the gift in each moment.

WOW! What an amazing concept....
and so true that we are preoccupied with how we are perceived rather than "identifying" with our identity at a particular moment-- really revolutionary concept.

This quote was first shared with me by a dear friend 20 years ago. It touched my heart today just as it did all those years ago. "Gift from the Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh is a true treasure of a book.
Thank you for sharing this quote...especially this week. Somehow the right words always seem to find us at the right time.
With much gratitude,
Brinda

WOW! A woman after my own heart...
We have to live by our own values and it is so important for our children to see that in our example. Like I tell my friends, "I can control what *I* do
and what goes on in my home"...how I live my life should be determined by my values. To thine own self be true.
THANK YOU for sending this quote today! It will be passed on to many.
With gratitude,

I totally agree---one of the things I admired most about my post-doc advisor
(in the life sciences) was his ability to ask the right questions. My question: how does one learn "how" to come up with the right questions??! I also agree that this sort of thing is not emphasized enough in school!
Thank you.

Every act of kindness we receive inspires us to do more.....
each and every day look for the opportunity!
It may seem like a small thing, but I am eternally grateful to a kind man who stayed with me and my young son after I had an accident (in which I landed flat on my face and lost a tooth)...I don't have a cell phone and he gave me his phone to call my husband to come and get us, and he waited with us til he came.
I was so "out of it" that I couldn't think to take down his name or address, but I will never forget his kindness and hope I can do the same for someone someday.
This I believe---actions speak louder than beliefs! Please check out the 50 facts to change the world
Thank you for giving us the space to share on Wednesdays.
With gratitude,
Brinda
