"Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise, whether it comes to us as a sorrow or a joy. It will open a new place in our hearts..." 

- Henri Nouwen

Yes, let's be ready for a surprise each day. And today, whatever the surprise may be, may we respond to it with interest, an open heart, hope, and a willingness to learn.

With child-like faith and delight in life,
Charlene

JOY: May it keep your heart open and filled with light.   - from The Twelve Gifts of Birth.
