MY HOPES DURING THIS WEEK OF THANKSGIVING

Personal

Empathy is fiercer than Resentment

Discussion is richer than Diatribe

Help is stronger than Cruelty

 

Keep your heart open to others rather than sealed against personal sacrifice

Keep your mind open to ideas rather than locked by other’s opinions

Keep your arms open to give rather than closed to keep what is yours

 

Hold dear your friends, family and those with whom you disagree because we are all in this together

Hold dear your beliefs in the harmony of the universe no matter what religion you practice

Hold dear your strengths and acknowledge your weaknesses

 

Delight in what you have rather than disheartened in what you lack

Delight in the success of others rather than resent their luck

Delight in what you learn rather than what you presume to already know
