May I live this day
Compassionate of heart,
Clear in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.

Some people like to rise and grind, but I say rise and have a genuine conversation with someone you love.

From the “Happiest Man on Earth”

shared sorrow is half sorrow; shared pleasure is double pleasure.

A great read that reminds one to share kindness, live generously, and choose love.
