BLESSING OF THE DAY - May God bless you when you become paralyzed by unreal self-expectations or by the expectations of others. As you tighten your fist around your many "shoulds," may you experience God's loving touch loosening your grip and opening you to a gentler holding, to a place of self-compassion and acceptance. In the opening may you love yourself as God loves you and share that unconditional love with those around you. May the God of Acceptance bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
