    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    May today there be peace within. May you trust that you

    are exactly where you are meant to be.

     

    May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born

    of faith in yourself and others.

     

    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on

    the love that has been given to you.

     

    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

     

    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your

    soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

     

    It is there for each and every one of us.

    Good Karma to you, Kevin, on your next year of college.  It has been delightful having you around this summer.

     Rosemary's Blessing of The Week,  

    What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

    Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

    Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

    Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

     

    What good did it do to be grouchy today?

    Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

    Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

    Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

     

    If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

    If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

    If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

    Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

      Fonda west of Ft. Dodge

    Do not plan on riding your bike through the towns.  Between overnight towns, there are 5-6, always jam-packed with bikers walking.  Pictured, Fonda, just west of Fort Dodge and a few of the 15 thousand riders.

    Have a Good Week, J.S

      Ragbrai water station

    Almost every little village had a water station, usually toward the end of the town.  A very popular stop by almost every biker. Look at that Iowa sky.

      Exiting Storm Lake after a storm

    We passed a rainy night in Storm Lake, appropriately.  A second storm passed overhead at 7:00 A.M., heading west to east really swiftly.  By 8:45 we could head out following the storm, but not in rain.  The day turned beautiful and we arrived dry in the beautiful over night town of Fort Dodge, the former home of Kent & Diane.

    Rosemary's Blessing of the Week:

    May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.
     

    May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.
     

    May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.
     

    And  may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.
     

    Amen.

     

    From a prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ,  Sacred Heart Academy,  Hempstead, N.Y.
