I wanted to add to this blog some of my previous off-line blogs that have been going to my staff each Monday. So there will be several postings today to load up some of my thoughts and whims. Thanks in advance for your grace in humoring me as I do this! Here is one.



Let us go about our week showing others a degree of pardon when things go just a bit astray and our first instinct may be to cry foul.



Let us go about our days showing simple acts of kindness and courtesy even when we ourselves feel rushed, bombarded, weak.



Let us go about the hours with charm and thoughtfulness for others when a trigger may have set us up to be grumpy and self-serving.



Let us go about this minute thankful for a greater grace from above that blesses us each and ever second.



I am betting that we will find an ease to the week… no matter what life throws our way.
