Since signing with alltel, I have had some difficulties.
Please bear with me while they get their act together.
I have been offline this last week.
Sorry for not responding to your letters.

The time is Now!

Have been spending my free time offline
reading a new book entitlted
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
He talks about being present in the moment.
When being in the moment, you experience
the presence of the spirit within.
I would encourage each of you
to take time to read this book
It has made a big impact on enjoying life more.
I am not "reacting" as much to life experiences.
It is another step in the process
of sustaining peace and tranquility
in this harried world of ours.
Let me know your feedback. MP

*Some Truths

+You can't change the past,
but you can ruin the present
by worrying over the future.

+The real measure of a man's wealth
is what he has invested in eternity.

+Everything has beauty
but not everyone sees it.

+If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday
and worries of tomorrow,
you have no today to be thankful for.

  *"Dawning of a New Day"
by Dori Bushee

The dawning of a new day
and once again the sun rises
lighting up the sky above
waking up the world below
and giving us all one more chance
to share the beauty of it all.

The dawning of a new day
and once again we become aware
of all the wondrous things
surrounding us
and giving us all one more chance
to make our peace with our souls.

  *Slow Down. Take Care. Be Present!
Enjoy the moment.
