December 31, 2006 The master in the art of living makes little distinction between her work and her play, her labor and her leisure, her mind and her body, her information and her recreation, her love and her religion. She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence at whatever she does, [...] Sin…is always a substitute got legitimate suffering. It is an attempt to obtain the pleasure that does not rightfully belong to me or evade the pain that does…Sooner or later, you have to turn and face the pain that makes the temptation so attractive. Sooner or later, you have to run to God. When I look, [...] Wall post late 2005: It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every could He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

These were written on index cards and taped to Anita’s bathroom mirror circa [...] (Greg’s note: I had a bag of stuff from under Anita’s bathroom sink and I found a handful of her wall posts kind of crumpled in there. This is on the of the more involved ones that encompassed several lessons.) Daily Affirmations – 2/1/07 1. Today is all you have. Be grateful for today. (Is your mortgage [...] You must all think I’m crazy, but I just keep finding boxes with Anita’s papers in them. It’s like she never threw anything away! Tonight I was moving some boxes that I thought had photos and frames in them but a couple had papers too. Some of them were dated around 1999, the time she [...] Digging through a box in her office, I found an old wall post. The way to happiness: keep your heart from from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a [...] |
