for the baby's laugh,<br />
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."<br />

how many people believe something.<br />
Ask. Question. Think.<br />
Decide - for yourself.<br />

<br />
Our circumstances define the playing field, not the outcome.<br />
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie<br />
<br />
Life consists not in holding good cards<br />
but in playing those you hold well.<br />
- Josh Billings<br />
<br />
Customs form us all.<br />
Our thoughts, our morals, our most fixed beliefs,<br />
are consequences of our place of birth.<br />
- Aaron Hill <br />
Yet within these quite extreme constraints, progress, success, and happiness are still possible.<br />
<br />
You play the hand you're dealt.<br />
I think the game's worthwhile.<br />
- Christopher Reeve<br />
<br />
All men and women are born, live, suffer and die;<br />
what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams,<br />
whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things,<br />
and what we do to make them come about.<br />
We do not choose to be born.<br />
We do not choose our parents.<br />
We do not choose our historical epoch,<br />
the country of our birth,<br />
or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.<br />
We do not, most of us, choose to die;<br />
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.<br />
But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.<br />
- Joseph Epstein<br />
<br />
We all have free will, but only within the harsh constraints of predestination.<br />
Within the limits placed upon our lives by the circumstances of our genes,<br />
our place and condition of birth, the parenting we receive,<br />
and other events beyond our control,<br />
we are defined by the free will we can still exercise.<br />
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie<br />

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky,<br />
you look in you.<br />

Patience is an ever present alternative<br />
to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.<br />
Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find<br />
lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.<br />
It's the strong energy of not wanting things to be the way they are<br />
and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.<br />
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.<br />
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,<br />
moving fast because you have chosen to.<br />
- Jon Kabat-Zinn<br />
<br />
Today's Affirmation:<br />
Slowly and Deeply, I Inhale a Calming Breath.<br />
