|     I heard that Einstein said that there were basically two ways of
    looking at life:
    
    1.  That nothing is a miracle.
    
    2.  That everything is a miracle.

    Excellent idea. The trick is to stay focused on the idea that
    everything is a miracle.

| I have to confess, life sometimes gets me down. Gloom seems all about and hangs over me like I've got some sort of gloom magnet. But other times, I relish in it. Life is an incredible experience. And I intend to ride it out no matter how bad it gets. Life is a wondrous gift and a holy thing. How marvelous it is just to be here! Shalom, Richard | |||||

| I too at times get down about life, mostly because of the mess I've made of various parts of it. Nonetheless, I love life itself and the joys in it. Yes, there are a lot of things to be worried about right now, but as in the insecurities note, I relish in the fact that the can take my job, my car, etc, but they can't take my salvation from me. I begin to see things in a different light from that point.. One of the real joys in my life occured just this week. I arrived home from work a bit down and I got out of my car and headed toward my apartment, when I heard 2 little voices saying "JIM!" and these 2 little girls that live upstairs came running up to me, arms in the air and gave me a big hug..kinda made everything else seem inconsequential ;-) Jim | |||||
