For this is the journey we all take to find ourselves.

And it all seems to work so much better

if we understand

the end

in

the

beginning.

Out of life's possibilities,

becoming more loving is a truth

we must take into our hearts.

Choosing the right is only

half the way home.

Because love is what we do!

Becoming a "little sweeter"

doesn't just happen.

It is not the result of chance.

Results come from loving ways.

When you discover

this,

and spread your love,

you become the light of it.

It is now your job.

For it is how you grow.

Grow it early.

Among all of heaven's attributes,

one stands out above all others.

It runs to the top of the list.

Its name is sweetness.

And when you weave it into your fabric,

and grow it into your garden,

it becomes the umbrella

of all loving ways.

Implement it

and happiness,

and goodness,

and

joy,

will be your best friends now and forever.

It is now your job.

For love is what you do.
