Meditations

Currently reading 365 meditations for a peaceful heart and a peaceful world by Markus Braybrooke and forund something that I really enjoyed and thought that I would share it with all.

When the alarm goes do you turn over and wish that it were not morning? Can
you remember when you were a child, perhaps on your birthday, and morning could
not come soon enough? Sir John Templeton, a wee-known businessman and
philanthropist now in his nineties, once told me that as soon as he woke up he
said, "thank you." A young man with severe rheumatoid arthritis told me the
same. When he woke he was grateful for the gift of another day. When you
recognise that life does not last forever, you realise how precious each new
morning is.
