Today’s Reflection: Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive! I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart for others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.— Prayer of the Dalai Lama.  Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario, Canada’s Rose City.
