The greatest gift you can give others is your best you - your healthiest you.

- Joseph J. Sweere
Households, cities, countries, and nations have enjoyed great happiness when a single individual has taken heed of the Good and Beautiful. . . . Such people not only liberate themselves, they fill those they meet with a free mind.

- Philo
I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health.

Heaven or Hell, love or hate
No matter where I turn
I meet myself.
Holding life precious is
Just living with all intensity
Holding life precious.

- Kosho Uchiyama Roshi
The greatest gift you can give others is your best you - your healthiest you.

Be There for Breakfast

When you eat your breakfast, even if it is just a small bite early in the morning, eat in such a way that freedom is possible. While eating breakfast, don't think of the future, of what you are going to do. Your practice is to simply eat breakfast. Your breakfast is there for you; you have to be there for your breakfast. You can chew each morsel of food with joy and freedom.

- Thich Nhat Hanh
