 Your heartbeat quickens Maybe even your forehead feels damp That tight feeling of worry Quick! Give that thought up. Go quickly to a happy thought. (Hint: plan the “go-to-happy” thought Ahead of time So when you need it, it’s there for you.) Example: So grateful for the air in my lungs, My ability to walk, The earth under my feet, Quick! Go to it!! You are reshaping your life!!
 ...at a stranger As you walk through an airport, Or across a room, Or even passing by in a car Can change the stranger And the world For all time.
 …that our life is missing something. …that our hopes and dreams are evading us. Yet, God is lavish, unfailing abundance, The rich, omnipresent (everywhere present) Substance of the Universe.

 ..Who never fails to notice something in each person he meets, And genuinely compliment each person On what he notices. Sometimes it’s what the other is wearing. Sometimes it’s the job the other just did. Sometimes it’s the sparkle in the other’s eyes.

 We have plumerias growing in pots out back. Their scent wafts on the breezes, Making us feel happy. Their blossoms open and share Til they fall off And more blooms open. My Shannon made me a lei years ago in Maui For me to wear home on the plane to the continent. It was plumeria blossoms, the scent overwhelmingly wonderful As I slept on the plane with the full moon visible In the galaxy’s nighttime. Plumerias abundant in Abu Dhabi Mixed with the bougainvillea, the desert rose, And the desert air. What blossoms follow you through your life? Which of their scents? Which of their joy?
 In social media, been following a precious man named Harold As he cares for his little Teddy, a Yorkshire terrier. Teddy had a torn ACL. The tenderness with which Harold cares for Teddy Through evaluation, diagnosis, labs, surgery, Postop, Will remind each of you who have had a beloved one Ill or injured, what it takes, And what you feel. That tells you everything you need to know About your heart, your love, your life.
 A group of young ladies and a gentleman with whom I worked In Abu Dhabi. Each and every one, bringing lessons to me. And now, the days in the desert land are But memory. Save the lessons learned, The intense love shared, The laughter ringing through the American Dental Clinic The patients, the parents, And Team Wonderful Sharing. Sharing. Learning. Growing. Loving.
 Did you learn when you were young, That if you work hard, You can do it? You can get what you want? Is that because of the hard work? Or is that because the hard work toward the goal ...keeps your thoughts focused on your heart’s desire? Hmmmm….
