This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 02, 2009:
Do I know why I'm here?
Not for sure, but I believe I may have won a lottery, LOL.
Do I know what I'm here for?
Yes -- I'm here to experience the multitude of things I can't experience when I'm not here.
Do I know what I'm meant to be doing?
I have a nagging feeling that the specifics are ultimately less important than bringing compassion, gratefulness, patience, and joy to every moment. I don't always succeed at that, but day by day, I believe I am getting better.

I may have won a lottery, LOL.
I think I won, too, just because of your being here. :)
Ahh, that's so sweet of you, Siona. Thanks so much. Of course, in the face of suffering, it's not always easy (or popular) to maintain that perspective! :)
