Such sadness again on TV news again. Thankfully, God and his on call 24/7 status remains the valuable resource it always been for me.

I'm feeling the need (or perhaps the calling) to remind/request to others that we should not need a repeat of the events of 9/11 to love and embrace our loved ones, reevaluate that which is truly important in in life and be kinder person to others and ourselves.

It's been a day of introspection for me, I realized that some of the good qualities that I know I have are not deserving to qualify as such if they are not lived to their potential and demonstrated on a regular basis.

I think of myself as being a compassionate and empathetic person, fairly creative and witty because my eye and heart are drawn to the positive sparks and light within life. I'm also sincere and devoted.

The qualities I mentioned are not meant to "toot my own horn." It's been years since I have involved myself in charity work and I need to change that. I'm doing some brainstorming on how to start sharing the above qualities before they are just memories.
