Just wanted to share this

[Carol]

A friend of mine (the managing editor of the editing service I work
with most often) just sent me this prayer, not knowing whether I was
religious or not but just wanting to share it with me because it was
lovely and had brought her hope in hard times. I wanted to share it
with all of you for the same reason in hopes that some of you will
find comfort in it and those who aren't religious will understand that
I'm not trying to force my very nebulous and undefined religion on them:

St. Theresa's Prayer:

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly
where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite
possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you
use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has
been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you
are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul
the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and
every one of us.

I'm not sure that St. Theresa ever said any such prayer since I think
she would have addressed God directly, but I still like it and find it
comforting.

Carol, not sure that being content with ourselves just as we are is
necessarily a good thing but liking the little prayer, anyway
