Life!!

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil


"We are visitors on this planet. We are here for one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. if you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true meaning of life."
— H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

Life


"Often, people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do in order to have what you want."

Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don't want it.
What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism
is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.
--Miller Williams

Live!!!!






Marko had his third annual homework burning party last night.
It was lots of fun and lots of little boys running around!!!!!!

... Be happy while you're living - for you're a long time dead ... ***
Face your problems bravely, confidently, and improve on your situation, no matter what state it be in. Be good to feel good. Be active and improve your mind. Laugh, relax, and sleep well .......
In our daily routine let's include time to enjoy others and thus ourselves. Look and wonder at the trees, fields and mountains, smell the flowers, hear the birds, and watch the clouds in the sky.

is afraid of something,
loves something,

No Regrets

Finally, Macy gets her cast off next Monday!!!....she broke her arm about 8 weeks ago doing a one handed cartwheel bare-footed in our yard and slipped on a nut.
She has been a trooper :)

You don’t regret what you do, you regret what you don’t do. When you do something and don’t like the result you produce, you have a choice. You can learn from the experience. You can make changes and in that sense, there’s no regret. There’s actually gratitude for the fall, because the falls provide you with the energy to propel yourself to higher and higher places in our lives.
-Wayne Dyer
