Skiing Monarch Butterflies

Even though it's been two years since I visited Alaska, I still follow their news. I was amused by the colorful ski costumes and I liked the Monarch Butterflies the best. Here's an explanation of the event:
The 14th annual Alaska Ski for Women was held on Feb. 7, 2010, in Anchorage, Alaska, at beautiful Kincaid Park. It's North America’s largest women-only cross-country ski event...many in colorful costumes...while raising funds for local non-profit organizations that help stop the cycle of domestic abuse against women and children...

Prayer of Saint Francis Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.
