Waterfalls

Waterfalls are mesmerizing and will speak to us, if we listen. Twenty-two years ago I stood before a beautiful waterfall on the Road to Hana in Maui. I was on my honeymoon and something about that waterfall was so full of promise...like the life that lay before me. There aren't a lot of waterfalls in Texas but there is a small one about 15 minutes from my house. I think I'll drive out there soon and see what the waterfall has to say to me...perhaps it will speak of promises yet to be realized.

I read that a good "rule" for deciding whether it is ok to pursue a particular course of action is this:

One of the great rules of life is that you can give yourself all the pleasure you like, just as long as nobody else is getting pain because you're giving yourself pleasure.

I know there are exceptions to every rule but this rule seems pretty right on to me. Sort of like "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." What do you think?

God Grant Me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...

Courage to change the things I can

and Wisdom to know the difference.
