The good life includes places we can rest, pillars of virtue to guide us, people to love and to be loved by, challenging circumstances in which we can stretch and grow to become our more mature selves, things and places of beauty that are often the most simple ones we tend to overlook, truth from those closest to us, people to look up to and keep learning from--no matter how old we get, honest work, relationships to provide compassion and care and to let us practice learning how to love.
The American Dream unfolded to include neighborliness in a land of opportunity to become great people, to sink roots down in rich soil and press forward to spend our lives on things that count, to invest in the good. No matter where you find yourself this morning, today is full of opportunity. It may start with the most simple of kindnesses to those you meet along your way.
