What's important

I'm taking a breath today. I have these Darcy pictures to show while I do it. I need something other than the impending holiday and how time is slipping away and how unprepared I am for it, my transportation troubles, the monolithic treadmill taking up most of my living room right now, and just the general mess I've made here and there that has to be cleaned up pronto to think about. There's so much more important stuff to concentrate on. She's pretty, right?

 

Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
