Healing requires far more of us than just the participation of our intellectual and even our emotional resources.

We are not carelessly designed creatures. Everything about us has purpose, logic and intelligence built into it, including how and why we become ill.

I love hanging out with my friends and family. I really, really, really love articulating original thought. That's probably my core, my biggest buzz.

My prayer today is to not be negative about anything for one day. It is so easy to be disappointed, critical, cynical. Nothing is easier than to be a negative person. It takes effort to be hopeful and positive. People will say that you have to have a reason to be positive - what reason do the poor or lonely have to be positive? If we all waited for perfect conditions in our life before we felt hopeful, we would have very few days in life to celebrate. Perfection is rare. Hope means no matter how bleak, all things can and do change in the blink of an eye.
