You are dazed, bewildered, trapped in a world with no time, where color collides with sound, and shadows explode. You see a sign up ahead. This is no ordinary email, this is the "Quote of the Week Zone"

“Your journey has molded you for the greater good. It was exactly what it needed to be. Don’t think you’ve lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time.”

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your weekly spiritual snack for mind, body & soul. After a While is the theme for this week's quote (a poem really) but for me after reading it, it probably should be named After a Long, Long, Long While.
__________
After a While
After a while you learn the difference,
Subtle difference,
Between holding a hand and
Chaining a soul.
You learn that love
Doesn’t mean leaning and
Company doesn’t mean security.
You begin to learn
That kisses aren’t contracts and
Presents aren’t promises.
You begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of an adult,
Not the grief of a child.
You learn to build
All your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground
Is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns
If you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and
Decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.
You learn
That you really can endure.
That you really are strong.
You really do have worth
Veronica A. Shoffstall

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."

Good Morning New and Old members of the Quote of the Week! It is now time to leave your world of tension, anxiety and doubt. So please sit back, slow down your pulse, and tune into this week's quote!
_________
"You think this is just another day in your life. It’s not just another day — it’s the one day that is given to you, today. It’s given to you, it’s a gift. It’s the only gift that you have right now, and the only appropriate response is gratefulness. If you do nothing else but to cultivate that response to the great gift that this unique day is, if you learn to respond as if it were the first day in your life, and the very last day, then you would have spent this day very well.”
