Some Personal Reflections....
I have had the good fortune to work on this project to develop SP and its' sister sites to help elevate the discourse and bring a "main street" perspective to bear on our world. As spring begins, I reflect upon all my blessings despite the continued ongoing challenges in our World. I am grateful for all who have taken it upon themselves to be here and for the opportunity to engage in the wonderful discourse. The best is yet to come!!!
Springtime is a time to again reflect and begin anew. I thought about Mother Teresa's Prayer which I wanted to share as the work contines on here and in SP's "outsider" sister sites:
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
