Today, as I have awakened and began my daily activities I am overcome by a overwhelming beauty by all I've seen and done.  Now keep in mind that I am in my same home, doing the same tasks around the same people- nothing has changed although today my mind is different.  I write this to acknowledge this powerful mind-change and to show my gratitude to the Buddha, my local teachers and to all of you.  My daily reflection and meditation IS necessary to obtain these precious moments.  Calm, peace are here in me, and their presence is greatly appreciated.  My sincere love I offer to all.  True compassion and peace.  Today I accept all that is coming and all that is already here.  :)
