I so choose ...
 
 
40A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, "If you choose, you can make me clean." 41Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I do choose. Be made clean!"

... everything can be taken from a man but one thing:
the last of the human freedoms ... 
to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one's own way.*

                 ~ Viktor Frankl

 
 
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words;
it is expressed in the choices one makes.

Jon sometimes paints with us at Memories in the Making but it is difficult
for him.  He is our youngest client at the Senior Resource Center and
 recently grew a beard and mustache so he would look older.

Since we cannot change reality,
let us change the eyes which see reality.

Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, saying to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." But he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the word, so that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
