A universal conspiracy

In this Thanksgiving week’s Tews day mailbox . . .

I am thankful that my life is not all about me.

Even when I long for what was, let me appreciate what I have now and be grateful for what’s yet to come. – Maria Shriver

The defining difference between effort and effortlessness is the virtue of gratitude. Gratitude is the foundation of the adage: “Things don’t happen to us, they happen for us.” It means that the universe is generally conspiring and working in our favor. – Doug Good Feather
