Karma ~ Sept. 5, 2011

I have been sitting here procrastinating about this post. Reading through the blogs I like . . . well okay, more like skimming and then moving on to the next.  Moving on without really reading or digesting, thinking I'll post this one later  . . . Well what is wrong with now?  Why not really read the blog post and then either share it or move on?  Not sure the reason for the hold up, I guess I just didn't feel like it right then.  But then I got to thinking that I have plans tomorrow. Plans that are going to make it a pretty long day; leaving no time for blog reading or quote posting.  I hope that you all have a GREAT day tomorrow.

Quotes

Though we can't always see it at the time, if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves. ~ Swami Satchidananda
