Yep, John & Connie, you snookered me by taking that cupcake to Bill.  Now I cannot pick on you.

Rosemary's Blessing:   

I am strong.. because
I know my weakness

I am beautiful.. because
I am aware of my flaws

I am fearless.. because
I learned to recognize illusion from real

I am wise.. because
I learn from my mistakes

I can laugh.. because
I have known sadness

I am a lover.. because
I have felt hate and
I prefer to love

Rosemary's Blessing:   

May you treasure wisely this jeweled, gilded time

And cherish each day as an extra grace

Whose heedless loss would be a tragic crime

In today’s tasks may you find God’s tender face

And may the Lord of the Dance bless you

As He invites you to the dance of the hollowed present.
