Reflection for January 11

The graveyards are full of indispensable people.

—Charles De Gaulle

Reflection

What if I went off on a super-binge this day? There is
a pretty good chance of not returning to normal life
due to death or disability. Would I be missed? Yes, for
a few months by some, by a few minutes by others, but
life would go on regardless.

Affirmation

For this day on Earth, let me increase its store of good–
ness, not deplete it.
