If we can just let go and trust that things will work out the way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully."  

                                 ~ Goldie Hawn   

I know this to be true from the times I am able to let go. I must admit that there are many times I struggle with trust and letting go. Too often I resist what is and I try to control.

The good news is: I believe we are all learning and getting better at this, little by little, day by day.

Here is another quote for living with hope, and in hope, this day and every day:

Remember you're in earth school...
The crayon's in your hand
So create a great day. 

It is from Laurie Seligman, a fellow graduate from the University of Santa Monica. 

May we color this day with love and compassion, faith and hope, beauty...all of life's good gifts.

PS - You may have noticed a few typos in the past week, a very busy one for me. Sorry about those! I want to share that I almost sent this off saying, "life's goof gifts" instead of life's good gifts. Maybe we can appreciate some goof gifts today too! Wishing you laughter and joy!

HOPE: Through each passage and season may you trust in the goodness of life. (from The Twelve Gifts of Birth)
