I really learned what Mother Teresa meant when she said:
The fruit of silence is prayer
The fruit of prayer is hope
The fruit of hope is love
The fruit of love is service
The fruit of service is peace
I also learned to celebrate every day with true fervor, to absolutely dance at every party or gathering, to have some of my all time laugh attacks with co-volunteers, to party like a banshee with 120 orphan girls, to enjoy and respect the human side of religious sisters, and to happily live in an entire house that is smaller than my current kitchen.
