Be Well, Do Good Work, and Keep in Touch

I found this quote by Garrison Keillor that I have found in response to my decision to drop this blog for awhile. Circumstances have been altered greatly and I don't feel that I can write in the spirit of this venue while I'm in the life situation I'm in.

For those who have commented, for those who have emailed me over the course of time, thank you for your time, consideration, input and inspiration. There are several of you who have unknowingly kept my feet on the right path as I've wandered off, and you have my perpetual gratitude.

For my lurkers, and I know you're out there, thanks for your silent support and reflection and even the occasional prayers. You are equally in my prayers.

LIFE is to live
and life is to give
and talents are to use
for good if you choose.
Do not pray for easy lives.
Pray to be stronger.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
then the doing of your work shall be no miracle
but you shall be a miracle.
Every day you shall wonder at yourself.
at the richness of life
which has come to you by the grace of God.
But everyone needs someone.
knowing that somewhere someone is thinking of you.

--Fr. Solanus Casey, OFM Cap.

I wish all of you peace.

Fr. Solanus is a super-duper example of humility in its hightest form...and a great friend for those who want to sit with him.

I will give you in prayer to Fr. Solanus on occasion...so don't be surprised if he pops in on your thoughts.

Enjoy the journey...peace and all good. Tausign
