One of my favorite blogs is “A Leaf In Springtime”. I beleive if you visit it you’ll quickly find out for yourself the beauty and wisdom it contains. This post is an example. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “Thank you”, that would suffice ~Meister Eckhart (1260 – 1328)
To be given this day to see, to love, to learn, to grow. To be a well-wisher of mankind. To laugh deeply. Weep openly. To discover yet that the greatest journeys are the ones we make inside. To go the extra mile for the well-being of another. To spread the goodness all around you just because you can. I wish you the blessings of a good day.
“Just as water flowing in the streams and rivers fills the ocean, thus may all your moments of goodness touch and benefit all beings, those here now and those gone before.

Russ Towne's A Grateful Man 
Oh this is so beautiful, and so are you for reblogging this treasure. Sharon at A Leaf in Springtime is like an angel walking around on earth. And on another note, dear Russ, I wanted to share the good news that I’ve taken the plunge, so to speak 🙂 I would be honored if you would like to visit sometime at my new blog http://peopleexcitedaboutcoexistence.com/ ~Love and Light, Gina
Thank you, Gina. I agree.
It is always good to hear from you. I’d love to visit your new blog and it is in fact the next thing I plan to do after pushing the “Post Comment” button on this reply. I’m looking forward to seeing it!
Russ
My dear Russ, since meeting you, you have been showering me to the overflowing with your kindness, encouragement and support. Truly my cup runneth over since meeting you! Bless your pure heart. With abundant gratitude, Sharon
Dear Sharon, your wonderful message means much to me. The feelings are mutual. I appreciate the many ways your shining spirit brightens my world.
While I love your message, I feel I must clarify one thing. Though I am a man of my word and have been faithful to my sacred vows, my heart is far from pure, though I wish it were. I have small thoughts and selfish impulses, get impatient and too judgemental, and am sometimes lazy, etc. I’ve come a long way toward being the man and person and I want to be, but have a long way to go before I even begin to approach pureness of heart.
Thank you for noticing and commenting on the good stuff!
Russ
