Pass It On
“Pass on the love that has been given to you.” Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux
I am keeping the gratitude pitcher that I started a long time ago. I write down the best thing or things of each day, and save the folded slips of paper in a beautiful red glass pitcher, which sits on the seat of a child-sized chair in a sunny window. My gratitude pitcher is very full, and the year is only half-gone!

When I look back at a day or a week or a lifetime, I know that I have been very lucky. How could these wonderful things have happened to me, and for me? And what about the amazing and interesting people — family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and more — who have passed into and/or out of my experience? And the many who are still in my life?
I know that I can never repay the many acts of kindness, the many expressions of love. But I can pass them on. Every day. Every damn day!
“May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be ….. 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.” Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux
