Today I did not feel especially lucky or irish or green. I didn't feel especially anything but stressed. Until i read my wonderful book of knowledge and joy (Year book of English Authors). My mother got it for me for Christmas, if i hadn't mentioned that.
This is what it says about today.
Love is the key that unlocks the heart of stone and melts the coldest natures....loving eyes ever seek for the good, the true, and the beautiful...loving hearts blossom into beautiful thoughts. Daily sacrifice becomes pleasure, if made for those who are dear to us. let us learn to renounce self; each act of self-denial is a round of the ladder by which we climb nearer to heaven...
and now my favorite part, i could have used this yesterday
all the doors that lead inward to the secret place of the most high are doors outward--out of self, out of smallness, out of wrong.--George MacDonald.
i have been told many times if you want your problems to disappear just focus on someone else's. So i will play with the focus of my internal camera lens, play chutes and ladders towards heaven, and serve others tomorrow.
i hope the chutes aren't too long.
