Good Morning. Here is a great thought for the day: WHAT'S EATING AT YOU? The Bay of Naples in Italy is the habitat of a jellyfish called medusa and a snail of the nudibranch variety. When the snail is small, the jellyfish will sometimes swallow it and draw it into its digestive tract. But the snail is protected by its shell and cannot be digested. The snail fastens itself to the inside of the jellyfish and slowly begins to eat it. By the time the snail is fully grown, it has consumed the entire jellyfish. If this were a crime it would be what they call "an inside job." Many of us act like the jellyfish and have our own snail to consume us — like worry, greed, or envy. The things that hurt us most don't come from the outside, they come from the inside.
"Each morning is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When the sun rises tomorrow this day will be gone forever, in its place will be something you have left — may it be something good. Follow your heart, it knows what to do."
