May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.Quote by Peter Marshall - game show host and entertainerREFLECTION:What does freedom look like to you?Do you view it as doing whatever you please or doing what is right?
The Bluebird Sang A bluebird slipped a little tremble out of the triangle of his mouth And it hung in the air until it reached my ear Like a froth or a frill that Schumann Might have written in a dream. Dear morning you come with so many angels of mercy So wondrously disguised in feathers, in leaves, In the tongues of stones, in the restless waters, In the creep and the click and the rustle That greet me wherever I go With their joyful cry: I’m still here, alive! Poem by Mary OliverREFLECTION:When was the last time you heard a bird sing?When was the last time you enjoyed the peacefulness and contentment of nature?Take a walk in nature today!Come alive.
They say love is blind. I disagree. Infatuation is blind.Love is all-seeing and accepting.Love is seeing the flaws and blemishes and accepting them. Love is accepting the bad habits and mannerisms, and working around them.Love is recognizing all the fears and insecurities, and knowing your role is to comfort. Love is working through all the challenges and painful times.Infatuation is fragile and will shatter when life is not perfect. Love is strong and it strengthens because it is real.Untitled - Author unknownREFLECTION:Examine your relationships.Is your relationship fragile or strong?Are you able to love another with flaws and blemishes, fears and insecurities?How can you strengthen love in your relationship?
