    It looks like Buddha is inhaling deeply, with pleasure!

    Definitely would rather smell the flowers than the dust we've had. I love the desert but boy that almost made me wish to be further north.

    Jo, for some reason, it is taking forever for your blog to load for me. Not sure why.

    I like KISS -- Keep It Simple, Silly! -- better than the way I heard it -- Keep It Simple, Stupid." Yours is much nicer!

    XO,

    Sheila

    That is exactly what I love
    about the Dalai Lamas...

    he makes everything simple
    to understand.

    and you get that.

    Clever girl.

    hugs and blessings

    It takes so few words to express kindness and caring, and yet we speak too many and say so little.

    That was lovely!

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...

At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. 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...
