Happy Holidays  
I read a short story today, this is the first line...I realized I've been blessed to know a few.

For a human character to reveal truly exceptional qualities, one must have the good fortune to be able to observe its performance over many years. If this performance is devoid of all egoism, if its guiding motive is unparalleled generosity, if it is absolutely certain that there is no thought of recompense and that, in addition, it has left its visible mark upon the earth, then there can be no mistake.

Don,
Your timing is perfect for a quote like that. Thanks for sharing it. If I could ask myself,"Why am I doing this?" and always answer, "Because it needs to be done." I would be assured the world would be a better place. I fall occasionally but get up, dust myself off and try again.  
Through Grace every moment is a new beginning. For me, this is salvation at its most basic level.
