The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the

sharing of misery.

The best to help others is by staying healthy. You can't help anyone if you need help yourself.

"Gratitude opens our minds and hearts. It instantly connects us to the present moment. Plus, it feels absolutely wonderful. The fact that gratitude is so easy to come by gives us one more reason to be grateful."--Raphael Cushnir _________________

Scottish prayer
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us! _________________
