Stoic Thought of the Day — Day 100
Happy Birthday
Once a year this day arrives. I like to look back and appreciate all the good things that I have been blessed with. There are many. Too many to recount here and anyway, that’s not the purpose of this post. The message I want to share in this moment is that I feel fortunate to have been allowed to spend another year with the ones I love. I’m grateful for the knowledge I have gained. I’m also grateful for the growth I feel in my soul. Difficult concepts to describe, but it’s easier to become aware of them when you take the time to reflect.
I am looking forward to the coming year. My plan is to treat everyone with respect and graciousness. I’m planning to continue as best I can to improve my mind and body. I want to continue to grow in understanding of myself, of others, and of the God force that is in all of us and in all things.
