day the first

So, I'm gardening.  The sun is bright.  The sky is clear.  The breeze is welcomed.  I am convinced that god in his/her infinite wisdom loves a garden.  When seeing the newly planted items, he/she must think that if a little green is good (as in beets, onions, beans, etc.,) then a lot of green must be better, so the void is filled!  That must make it sacriligious to remove the "fill", right?  That's my new belief and I'm sticking to it!  So, with this extra time on my hands, I decide to fulfill a goal set at our recent Chicago meeting...why not create a blog?  (Does that make this devinely inspired?  Hmmmm.)  Anyhow, I have always wanted a forum in which to express my deepest ponderings, my ambitions, my dreams...sorta makes you want to hit that close button and run, doesn't it?  Well, for the not-so-faint-at heart, welcome!  Hopefully you find a little humor, a little wisdom, and perhaps a touch of inspiration.  You will always find affirmation!  I do believe we are put here to change the world, so since this began with a religious connotation, what better way to end my first post than with a prayer.  It is the way I end my speeches.  It is the way I start my day.  May you find in it the strength to make a difference!
God has given me this day to use as I wish.  I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.  When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place.  May god who gave me this day also give me the wisdom to know how to use it:  to be directed to add good to it, not evil.  May the life that he gave me be well spent for this day!
Go change the world for the better, and know you are loved!
