I was cleaning the table today and found an old bookmark.

A Thanksgiving Prayer

When I have food, help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work, help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless;
When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer;
And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and stir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough to help, by work and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.

I'm getting stronger every day. For example today I volunteered for 4.5 hours, went for a short bike ride and then went for a short swim. I'm still awake and I feel really good. I'm betting I'll sleep really well tonight.
