LISTENING
How well do we listen?
Do we stop and listen to a bird song,
raindrops on a roof, upbuilding conversation,
a friend or neighbor spilling his woes?
Do you realize that the ability to listen is one of the greatest gifts from God?
If you really listen, you will be amazed at what your world is telling you.

"Promise yourself: no self-criticism today. If a negative thought crops up, tell your inner nag, "Not now." Life can be hard enough without your adding more stress."
