 "Upon awakening, I think about the next 24 hours. I consider my plans for the day. Before I begin, I ask God to direct my thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest, or self-seeking motives."

That's a quote from a book that I read a lot. It's how I start my day. as a friend of mine says, the days that I pray almost always turn out better than the days I don't.

I'm supposed to meet with someone today to have a conversation about prayer and meditation. Then, this evening I'm going to a meeting at a church in my neighbourhood. Both of those things will keep me connected to a power greater than myself.
