“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
~ I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
~ I shall fear only God.
~ I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
~ I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
~ I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth,
~ I shall put up with all suffering.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“The Roots of Violence:
Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice,
Politics without principles.”

I would like to think that a green grasshopper indicates new beginnings and growth.
Grasshoppers can only jump forward, not backwards or sideways.
So, go ahead, leap forward with courage and faith.
Bring back the childlike sense of adventure in your life!
Blessings & peace,
Pat
“Young man, where do you work? the judge asked the defendant.
“Here and there,” said the man,
“What do you do for a living?”
“This and that.”
“Take him away,” said the judge.
The man said, “Wait a minute! When will I get out?”
The judge replied, “Sooner or later.”
“Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy.”

In memory of my dad who breathed his last in my arms 14 years ago. (26.8.1932 – 7.1.2001)
A university creative writing class was asked to write
a concise essay containing these four elements:
religion, royalty, sex and mystery.
The prize-winning essay read:
“My God,” said the Queen. “I’m pregnant. I wonder who did it?”
An elderly grandmother was giving her grandson directions to her apartment.
Grandma: “I am in apartment 4012. There is a big panel at the front door.
With your elbow, push button 4012. I will buzz you in.
Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow, push 4.
When you get out, I’m on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell.”
Grandson: “Grandma, that sounds easy. But, why am I hitting all these buttons
with my elbow?
Grandma: “What……You coming empty handed?”
