TRY HARDER

Every thought that comes into our minds,

every word that we utter goes out

into the Universe.

Each person has access to everyone else's

thoughts and words.

We need to be aware of this, and conduct

ourselves in such a way, so as to not think

or say hurtful or hateful things.

Our words and thoughts can be picked up

by anyone in the Universe, so we need

to think and speak kind words and

thoughts... not always easy to do ;

we're not Pollyanas.

We're human, and we do and say unkind

or thoughtless things --- I know I do,

but I never mean to hurt anyone. Of

course, I do hurt people, just as most

of us do, without it being our intention.

I strive to be a kinder, more understanding

person, yet I sometimes fall short.

Why ? Because, like you, I'm human,

with all the quirks and foibles that

being human entails.

To that end, we must try harder to

be good, decent people...to love

ourselves and others, and to always

remember to be cognizant of what

we are thinking and saying.

It matters.

We must be kinder, more loving

to ourselves and each other, and

hope that, in doing so, people now

and perhaps many years from now

will pick up on our good thoughts

and make a difference on this

earth, and the whole Universe.

Maybe one day, kindness and

love will rule our Universe, rather

than the greed and corruption

so prevalent now, in our time.

Is there hope for the human race

yet ? I pray it will be so.

Until such time, we must all

do our part, so that future generations

may benefit, and live in peace

and harmony.

Let's all count the many blessings

we have, and appreciate what and

who we have in our lives, now, and

also those we have loved , but are

gone. We can continue to love

them and keep their memory in

our hearts.

I love all of you, my sweet family.
