Can extract sunshine from a cloudy day!

Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of heaven in your hearts, and you shall make your name,your college, the world, correspond to that vision. Your success and happiness lie within you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer wrappings. The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty. ~ Helen Keller

No Burgers in the Mountains


It's not easy being grateful nowadays. I remember a time when I would wake up full of life and bursting with  instant gratitude! The last time I felt this way was...um.. honestly,  2 years ago.  

Yes, full of life and brimming with a tinge of " let's get going attitude"....I'm like that, or, was like that -- a bit bubbly, a bit rose rimmed, and I guess, quite dreamy elevated.

 Not for a long while now. 

Instead,  I open my eyes to a fog of trepidation followed by bewildered wondering; -- So, what inane crap will unfold in  this world today, huh? -- 

Just this morning, there was that stupid news that a "nuclear war" was averted last year. The mad media is all about insanity. The devilish salacious hunger and preoccupation with doom is almost ridiculous. 

I told my husband it would be a good time to be a monk; "You, know, I can see me way up in the mountains with my prayer beads and silence," I sighed. 

Nope. You won't last -- no burgers there. You love your burgers, he quipped.  
 
Thing is, it's actually true. 😀
