Here is my wish for you and
every other child, woman and
man on the face of the earth:
Spend one week
saying only kind,
caring things
to yourself.
Say thank-you
at least ten times an hour
--direct five toward yourself
and five to the world at large.
Compliment yourself
(and others)
each time an effort is made.
Notice all the wonderful qualities
and characteristics about yourself
and those around you.
One week.
You will never go back.
And your whole life will be
a glorious meditation.
