I think this is very appropriate the day before Thanksgiving.
The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi-Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
I am not bound to win, I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light that I have.

My Fitnes Pal
This website and mobile app is a great tool to assist you in losing weight and watching calories. I started using this app at the end of July after I plateaued with my weight loss. Once I started tracking my calories I realized where I could make some changes in my diet. And it helped kick-start my weight loss again. You can also interact with other members and track your exercise. It’s a great tool in your health and fitness arsenal. To learn more click on the picture.
