    The news is all bad because the media profits from it. I do not watch it and try to live in the world of hopefulness where most of us exist.

    I have a Buddha in one of my gardens and hope to get the laughing Buddha for another one.

    Philippians 4:8 has beautiful advice for us harried modern people: what so ever things are lovely, what so ever things are true what so ever things are pure .... think on those things.
    I have a statue of Mary in my garden and a statue of Buddha too.

    I send my love out to the Blessed Universe many times throughout the day...it is so fulfilling and satisfying. :)

    The Laughing Buddha brings bubbles of joy upward in your spirit, doesn't he? I love that painting Jo! Such a very thoughtful post...

    Namaste'

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress.

Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
