Raise our candle and shed a little light.

"Each and every day, each and every one of us, regardless of our circumstances, has a choice. We can squander our time fingering old welts, second guessing past decisions, and tormenting ourselves over the poor choices of others; or we can embrace a new day brimming with opportunities for doing justly, loving mercy, and building foundations for a bright, new tomorrow. Time is precious. Choose wisely." I wrote this years ago. I believe it's good advice. Addressing each day's negativity is robbing me of friends, family, and much of the joy I might otherwise experience. While silence is complicity and there comes a time to speak, it's easy today to become complicit by contributing to the gloom. Today's evils speak volumes for themselves. Rather than cursing the darkness, we might do better to raise our candles and shed a little light. SC
