This I Believe
No matter what path has brought me here;
it will be my decision on what road I continue
Choices are my own. It is through reflection and honesty
that we make our choices. Through life our choices become
more worthy.

Relationships are not to be taken for granted. Relationships,
be it family or friendships require constant work and consideration.
Marriage requires constant work and consideration.
There are no perfect relationships. With those relationships, where the work is equal, are
as close to perfect as we can get.

It is the job of all adults to take care of the children and the frail elderly
in the world.
We must protect them from harm and make them feel safe. It is our duty to help
when we see the opportunity to help.
We have all been children. We all will be frail elderly.
We must take care of each other.

Spirituality is a constant question. There will always be new questions and what is true to me today may not be true to me tomorrow. I will always question. I feel there is a higher power. It is something I cannot visualize, or put a name to. It lives within me.
I respect this power and even consider it may be taking care of me personally.
My spirituality is personal, as is yours.
