Love Now

“Love in the past is only a memory. Love in the future is a fantasy. Only here and now can we truly love.” from: Buddha’s Little Instruction Book by Jack Kornfield

Photo Challenge – Indulge

So many ways one can indulge! One of my favorite ways to indulge is by spending the night in a fancy hotel room. As a matter of fact, I think I could live quite nicely in a room like this. These beds were so soft and comfy. Actually, I have been in nicer suites, but…

Create The Day – With Compassion

Once again it’s time to Create The Day; this week the theme is compassion. This reminds me of the photo challenge because the first week I jumped into it the word was regret. I wondered, “how can I photograph regret?” This is kind of similar, link up a post about compassion. I don’t even know…

Life Is Challenging

“When faced with a challenge, look for a way, not a way out.” – David L. Weatherford

Weekly Photo Challenge – Down

Fortunately human beings have this ability to be aware of many directions at once. That is something to be grateful for. Can you imagine how ill fated our existence would be if we were not aware of up and down, left and right, back & front at the same time? I feel dizzy just thinking about it.

The Lost Day

Yesterday I could not even enter my own linkey list, not surprised that no one else did either. That’s okay, I wasn’t expecting a big turn out right away, especially since I didn’t have much chance to promote it. However, I’m submitting my “Create The Day With Joy” post today. It won’t be what you…

Dreamtime

Outside the snow falls, it’s dark and cold. Some people really love snow. My son longs for a white Christmas every year. Memories of childhood days; snowmen, sledding, snowball fights, snow forts and missing school for snow days. Snow brings more painful memories to my mind. I did not grow up with it, so I…
