Bless anyone that I cannot get along with
And anyone that cannot get along with me.
Bless the person who has hurt me deeply
and anyone that I have hurt.
Bless the person that I cannot forgive
and anyone that cannot forgive me.
Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

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

Bulletin 2 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

1. Back operation date, 12/28/18

2. Spinal surgeon, Dr. Jones-Quaidoo. Check the September, 2018 issue of D Magazine.

3. How did all this come about? The best answer to me is back packing with an extra heavy pack, an observation submitted by Ron Kovatis, my Best Man in 2005 (Nobody else would take the job). I have a refinement of Ron's observation, thanks to Beth, namely, during the last two years I backpacked the cincture-belt around my waist stretched & I lost some weight, with the result that I carried the weight not on my waist, but on my shoulders, pushing down on my lumbar and spine.

Have a Good Week, J.S

Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.

(214-783-0443)

Following an ancient Jewish marriage custom, Austin stomps on a wine glass wrapped in a napkin. The custom certainly seems to refer back to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Then multiple interpretations come up. I chose the idea that the couple celebrates how all of our ancestors have navigated the broken glass in their lives and says to the couple that they, too, because of being a couple, will navigate successfully the broken glass in their own lives.
