Today’s Reflection: I expect to pass through this world but once.

Any good, therefore, that I do

or any kindness that I can show to any person,

let me do it now.

Let me not defer or neglect it,

for I shall not pass this way again. — Stephen Grellet

Today’s Reflection: Did I offer peace today?

Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

Did I say words of healing?

Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

Did I forgive?

Did I love?

These are the real questions.— Henri Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: May you practice patience, forgiveness and failing that, silence. May you ignore nonsense and provocation.  May your coffee, your resolve and your wifi be strong and may you face challenges with humour, grace and chocolate when necessary and always notice the small moments of beauty. — Bodmin Hermit
