This is good 💯
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis

It seems to be forgotten about or lost in the shuffle, but 518 - some pretty good #d3hoops being played in our area. Union is putting something together, and the addition of Kate, who spent her first two collegiate years at D1 Fairfield, adds a different dynamic.
Not doing anything tomorrow afternoon? Spend a couple hours watching the quality of play in competitive D3 basketball. Local schools squaring off with @UnionCollegeWBB hosting @SkidmoreWBB, 4-1 vs 3-1 in conference play
Final: Union, 66, Ithaca, 62
@UnionCollegeWBB entered tonight 0-13 against Ithaca since 2018. What a win for the Garnet Chargers, who are 4-1 in the Liberty League.
NYU transfer @Katepeek3 had a tremendous performance, with 16 pts (4/7 3pt) in 25 min for Union. #d3hoops
What was trying to stop you is done. Now you have to do your part and go back to dreaming. Go back to believing you're worthy. Go back to living with passion, with faith, with expectancy.
NYU women's basketball continues to win big in the transfer portal. Peek is a 5'9 guard who appeared in 32 games with 6 starts at D1 Fairfield over the last 2 years. #d3hoops
Love this commitment by Kate Peek. Has multiple D1 visits and offers and lands at Defending D3 National Champion NYU while enrolling at Top Sports Business school in country. You’re going to have an exciting two years.
Congrats Kate! ❤️ @Katepeek3

You have to go against your nature.
It’s not in everybody’s nature to get up every morning & work.
When we don’t have a challenge, we are not our best. That’s what drives us." -Geno Auriemma
