Words to Live By

We never know each day when we wake up what will happen. The sun rises and the sun sets, and in between is chaos. Today I learned that a wonderful person I knew back in high school (South Side Senior High, Class of '64) died last Friday. Jane had been battling cancer for some time and finally succumbed. She left the following final reflections which I share here with you, dear reader.

Final Thoughts from Jane Kinzler

All you have to do is live your life.

Gratitude is a portal to compassion.

Receive the encouragement that is offered.

Be at peace with the surroundings.

And allow the stories to unfold.

The less the resistance, the fewer the obstacles.

Regard what is around you as a gift, not an obligation or a chore.

Enjoy your time on the planet.

Enjoy the journey.
