Thought for the day....... ``Please open your eyes now, but keep attention in the inner energy field of the body as you look around the room. The inner body lies at the threshold between your form identity and your essence identity, your true nature. Never lose touch with it.'' Eckhart Tolle

Thought for the day....... ``Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works whether we accept it or not.'' Mahatma Gandi

Wondering what happened to "You might be a Lymey if..." column. A few popped into my head this morning....
You might be a Lymey if...
You get up in the morning, put on your bathrobe & realize you've been wearing the same outfit for 3 days.
You realize there are more choices... take a shower today, or clean up the house a little, or go to the store. Used to be able to do all 3 in just one day.
You find your mind wandering again in the realm of "Why am i still here?"
You might be a Lymey who believes in God if...
You feel blessed that you have taken notice of what you are wearing & are able to shower & put on clean clothes.
You feel blessed that you can still consider driving the car, going to the store & living independently.
You realize you're still here because God has something in mind for you & isn't ready for you to come to Heaven just yet.

Thought for the day....... ``When empathy spontaneously arises, we sense the power of love as a blessing revealed by adversity. How embarrassing it is to see how preoccupied we have been with our own petty concerns! Seeing how affection stirs people to acts of selflessness inspires us to extend ourselves as well. With lovingkindness we see the needs of others and respond. `` Judith L. Lief (Welcome to the Real World)
