Sunday mornings, friendly get-togethers, a favorite grandfather long since gone, the AA meeting that saved their life. Coffee meant something to people.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Every morning when we wake up we've been given a wonderful gift-another day of life-so let's make the most of it. No one can do it for us. . . .

It will all unfold. Like any new behavior, happiness can be learned.

I love waking up in the morning, taking a deep breath, reading the newspaper and going to the gym - as opposed to carrying a hangover right until lunch. That's horrible.

I have become an anti-drinking, anti-smoking agent.

Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith?

Saint Francis de Sales

I jumped to my feet. ʺHow soon can we go?ʺ
