Welcome New and Old Souls to the Quote of the Week.
This week's quote are the lyrics from Yael Naim song, A New Soul. Perhaps you know the song or recognize the tune from the Apple AirBook commercial...

Whether you are a new Soul, a young Soul or an old Soul, maybe the lesson is to communicate and learn how to give and take.
__________
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
New soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...

Are you looking...
to become more aware of your spiritual self?
feel more alive?
to be more connected to others and to nature?
to feel less isolated?
to be more comfortable with change?
to enhance your physical and mental health?
age more gracefully?
Then the suggestions from this week's quote is for you!!! Enjoy!
__________
"Pay attention to your breath. Many cultures identify breath with spirit, seeing the breath cycle as the movement of spirit in the physical body.. Simply minding the breath is a way of expanding consciousness beyond the ego, of experiencing ranscendence.
* Connect with nature. You can do this by walking or sitting in a natural setting; a city park will do just fine. Allow yourself to slow down, drop your usual routines, and just absorb the influence of the place.
* Make a list of people in your life in whose company you feel more alive, happy, and optimistic. Make an effort to spend more time with them. Our spiritual selves resonate with others, and that connection is a healing.
* Bring flowers into your home and enjoy their beauty.
* Listen to music that you find inspirational and uplifting.
* Admire a work of art that raises your spirits: a painting, sculpture, or work of architecture.
* Reach out and try to resume connection with someone from whom you are estranged; practice forgiveness.
* Do some sort of service work. Give some of your time and energy to help others. The possibilities are endless but do not include just writing a check to charity.
"The suggestions above are intended to help you become more aware of your spiritual self. Any activity that makes you feel more alive, more connected to others and to nature, less isolated, more comfortable with change, is beneficial. It will enhance your physical and mental health. It will help you accept the fact of your aging. It will help you to age gracefully".

Welome to the Quote of the Week. Reinhold Niebuhr the 20th century theologian is the author of this weeks' quotes. Enjoy!
__________
Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
Reinhold Niebuhr
__________
A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic
The Full Original Serenity Prayer
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr
