Today I will spend the most precious thing I have.
The moments of this day.
There is no saving them.
No time bank account.
No storing them away for when I have more energy.
Or more creativity.
Or, more wisdom.
Today, just as I am right now, each moment is spent.
For something.
For someone.
May I do my best to spend my time well.
Doing my best to find my way.

Several things I believe:
The most critical religious question of our day is how we will answer the question "Who is my neighbor?"
That which we know and name as God is more about the connections between us than something above us.
And this, from the poet Maya Angelou...
"Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better."
Anita Schulkers says
June 22, 2016 at 8:24 pmOne step at a time, one minute well spent in doing something for someone else,. All it takes is a thought , a phone call , a kindness without the other one knowing. Being positive, doing something positive to help another out and knowing that it will benefit them and not you. But also, realizing the pleasure you derive from doing that special something for someone else will be your reward.
