Looking Both Ways

It’s June—we’re half-way through 2011.  It’s been a mixed bag for me—the illness of a dear friend and the death of my uncle on the one hand; my daughter’s engagement, a retreat and pilgrimage for me on the other.  Before taking my first steps into the next half of this year, I take a moment to give thanks for all I’ve been given and to strengthen my resolve to make a difference. 

“Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished.  If you’re alive, it isn’t.” –Richard Bach

“Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.” –Grandma Moses


Enjoy your day!
