Grace...

Sometimes it is just kind of funny how things come to you..... I was in the shower at the gym getting ready to go to the Dr. and I happened to read my shower gel bottle. It goes like this:(from Philosophy)
"Life is a classroom, we are both student and teacher, each day is a test, and each day we receive a passing or failing grade in one particular subject: grace. Grace is compassion, gratitude, surrender, faith, forgiveness, good manners, reverence, and the list goes on. It's something that money can't buy and credentials rarely produce. Being the smartest, the prettiest, the most talented, the richest, or even the poorest, can't help. Being a humble person can and being a helpful person can guide you through your days with grace and gratitude."

Sometimes we just need a little reminder :)
