St. Theresa's Prayer

A close friend who resides in Vietnam sent me this. Thought i'd put it here for each and everyone who reads this blog, specially family members and friends near and far.

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you....
May you be content knowing you are a child of God....
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Ever Afters

It amazes me how some couples manage to stay together. i have friends who are still very much in love with their spouses years after they've exchanged "i dos". i also have a friend who will soon tie the knot with one of the kindest men i've ever met [and who i'd like to clone soon as the french have perfected the technique]. i have cousins who have found their perfect match and are also happily married. makes me think there are happy ever afters after all! and i say this without any cynicism----for once, haha!
i think staying together is something short of a miracle, because i have a fairly good idea of the compromises one needs to do to make a relationship last---and those compromises are not at all easy to make.
so it's truly good to see happy endings.
