Note from Brook:

As you view the calendar month to month, you’ll notice a few of the days stay the same. These are fundamental steps that we should be reminded to take each month.

 A few more thoughts to ponder…

 "A man who dares to waste one hour of life has not discovered the value of life."

Charles Darwin

 “Gratitude turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie

 Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. Edwin Hubbel Chapin, American Clergyman (1814-1880)

What type of actions will you take today? How will you help others? 

 One hundred percent of the shots you don't take don't go in. Wayne Gretzky

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but having new eyes.”

 Marcel Proust
