Favourite saying of Sharon Ann Lane
"I am thankful for this day. I am thankful for good health. Today I will go through the day inwardly relaxed and outwardly alert. I will pay more attention to the things outside of me and less attention to the things inside me. I will enjoy my food, the weather, my work, and the people around me. I believe I will be given the strength to meet whatever problems come to me. I will do my tasks one at a time, and not try to cross all my bridges at once."
