This morning I found peace of mind and forgiveness for my wife.

I thought some more about the principles for me to live by. The reason I decided to define them was because I imagined a conversation in which I spoke of living a principle-based life and I was prompted to convey them.

Principles I live by...

Other centeredness will lead me to wisdom,
Control of self will lead me to good decisions,
Faith will lead me to perseverence,
Wisdom, good decisions, and perseverence, will lead me to success.
Success does not mean happiness.
Happiness is an inside job.
Action speaks louder than words.

I thought more of being a treasure seeker today. Of seeking wisdom above all. Wisdom to facilitate fellowship among men.

Today at work I felt much better.

I got to go to the noon meeting.

This evening I played in the dirt with my daughter. I sat in the shade and a cool wind blew through the high grass that appeared a bright green in the light of dusk. I watched as she laughed and bounced and smiled at me.

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Thanks be to God for the fruits of the Spirit.
