Beautiful. I get so tired of hating myself. I hope we can keep this one "bumped" up for a while as a reminder, and a gift for newcomers. Thank you.

I try to say each morning "thank you for the gift of being born in a human body"

Sometimes it's hard...but over the long haul being human is a nice place to be!

Kindness and intelligence don't always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps.
--Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Being human means we'll have hard times along with pleasant ones. Whether with friends, at school, or at home, we'll find reasons for sadness or anger as easily as for laughter. In every part of our lives, we're offered just what we need for growth.

Being the best we know how to be doesn't mean we'll escape confusion or pain. Through the troubling times we learn to trust in a Higher Power; we learn patience; we learn to let go and let God decide outcomes. The troubling times offer us growth and serenity, our keys to happiness.

What hidden gifts will I find in today's troubles?
