"Tomorrow is the first of the month. Pay day for most. Right now, if you are like me, you are squeezing the last drop of shampoo out of the bottle, the light on your gas gauge is lit and you're tired of eating leftovers. It's okay. Because if you are truly like me your heart is filled with love, your mind is lit up with wonderful thoughts and memories and stomach is filled with anticipation of what splendor is in store for you today. Have a wonderful day and if nobody told you that you were special, needed, and that they loved you yesterday, you need to get new people in your life."

If our behavior doesn't improve, if our harmonious circle doesn't widen, something is wrong, or our ideal is too weak.
