Peace


Goofy Girls!!!


"It is time to fill the world with strong and powerful deeds. It is common
knowledge that no great captain in the world has ever destroyed all of his
enemies and lived with a sense of satisfaction. If one enemy is killed, two
more will appear. It is important we cultivate love and compassion to all
the sentient beings which is the way to bring peace to all."
-- Dalai Lama

Peace


In my next life, I am coming back as a cat!!!!


If we want world peace, we must let go of our attachments and truly live like nomads. That's where I no mad at you and you no mad at me. That way there will surely be nomadness on the planet. Peace begins with each of us. A little peace here, a little peace there. Pretty soon all the peaces will fit together to make one big peace everywhere. -Swami Beyondananda

Today is Dusty's 7th Birthday!!! We just sang to him and gave him Turkey Stuffing as a treat. He did not like the singing.....he just kept woofing for the treat.
Namaste,
Michele


You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you...............

Set Yourself Free!



Bitty Kitty likes our tree!!!


It ain't no mystery,
you know the words
to set you free
There for all the world to see
When you got it on your side
There's no reason left to hide
You've got to give it to receive

On Beauty in the world


Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. If we focus on what's ugly, we attract more ugliness into our thoughts, and then into our emotions, and ultimately into our lives. When You Change the Way You Look at Things the Things You Look at Change!"

Dr. Wayne Dyer

On Beauty


a view from Cincinnati's riverfront


You may live or work around a bunch of weeds,
but don’t let that stop you from blooming.
Realize that your environment
does not prevent you from being happy.
...Some people spend all their time
trying to pull up all the weeds.
Meanwhile, they miss much of their lives.
Don’t worry about things you can’t change.
You can’t change the traffic in the morning.
You can’t fix everybody at work..
But you shouldn’t let that
keep you from being happy.
Bloom anyway and focus on
the things that you can change.
You can change your own attitude.
You can choose to be happy right where you are.


Joel Osteen

How do you greet the day???



These are drawings that I made on the WALL of our old psychiatric unit. I loved coloring on the walls!!! That was before we moved off of the main campus. There are some things that I miss about our old unit.....mostly certain people.....some of which I will never see again....sigh.
Sometimes I wish I could treat everyone as though I will never see them again.
I would be a lot happier to see them and probably go out of my way to be kinder.
I guess that is how we should greet everyone!!!!
Anyway, I hope enjoy the words below!!!
Namaste,
Michele

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a
different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter
of paying attention to this miracle.
