Sometimes:

I know that talent is a gift and no matter how unrewarding it can be, it is to be appreciated and respected.

I experience the balance the Universe insists on and I am thankful.

I feel the love others have for me and I am grateful.

I acknowledge the sacrifice my forbears have made for me and I know how blessed I am.

I am able to look at all the violence and anger around me and know it cannot enter my heart unless I let it.

I understand that the pain you have caused me was not personal and that you are merely living your life the best you can.

I know that it is impossible to seek pleasure through the body and not occasionally find pain.

I know that Freedom cannot be learned by tyranny of any kind, including my impatience with others.

I understand that the world I perceive is only a dream. The world I see merely reflects my own internal frame of reference--the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in my mind.

I understand that God need not forgive me, because He has never condemned me.

and sometimes.... I take a moment to appreciate that no matter how difficult life may be, each new breath I take is a blessing from God.

 

  Loyalty is something we all expect from our family and friends. but what happens when there is a conflict about where our loyalty belongs?  Mary and Paul are married. Paul is your brother and Mary is your best friend.  When you find out that Paul is having an affair, where does your loyalty lie.. Do you tell Mary?.. or do you confront Paul? What do you think?
