Lovely article. My perspective counts the onset of each day as a rebirth into my new life. My morning meditation encompasses the visualization of myself in my mother's womb, sensing the warmth of her love. It is in this place that I affirm the mutual love and gratitude I have for my family, friends, and adversaries as well. My birth into each new day is then filled with confidence, hope, and gratitude, helping me live in the moment and not shackled to the ill memories of the past where fear maintains its strangle hold. Thank you for your words--Joe
