In Memory

• May the sadness and devastation that resulted
  from the forces of nature in Katrina remind us
  all to value that precious commodity called life,
  the daily comforts that we call home, our ability
  to go to work each day, and the value of
  predictability in our daily lives. Most
  important, may Katrina serve as a lasting
  reminder to all of us of the vast discrepancies
  that still exist in this country between the
  haves and the have-nots and the injustices that
  continue in life around us each day.

Gratefulness

• I am grateful for all my problems. After each
  one was overcome, I became stronger and more able
  to meet those that were still to come. I grew in
  all my difficulties.
• J. C. Penny

Gratefulness

• One single grateful thought raised to heaven is
  the most perfect prayer.
• G. E. Lessing (1729 - 1781)
• There shall be eternal summer in the grateful
  heart.
• Celia Thaxter
