Inspirational Thoughts

the deadly sins have a 21st-century version.

Polluting, genetic engineering, obscene riches, taking drugs, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice join the original seven deadly sins defined by Pope Gregory the Great in the sixth century: pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and sloth.

Hey what's all that white stuff?
Nice song and photos thank you, oh now I remember, it's snow!

OMG...

Great post...many thought I can relate to

Oh gosh I had a reversible doll like that, I had forgotten all about it. Mine was made of cotton, simple home-made. Loved it!
These are great!

Any attempt to get rid of painful feelings or memories is a judgment of them, and judgment locks them more firmly into place. The only way you can truly demonstrate unconditional love and acceptance of painful feelings is to allow them to be experienced and expressed consciously within you. They are from the past. You do not have to believe in them or identify with them. Just allow them expression. Allow them to be experienced within you. They will then relax. If they are truly accepted and experienced, they will dissolve, not because you are trying to get rid of them, but because you have truly owned and accepted them.

Oh I love this one, thanks so much, I had forgotten about him. Love the words!
"Living In The Past"

Happy and I'm smiling,
walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I'd love to love you,
and above you there's no other.
We'll go walking out
while others shout of war's disaster.
Oh, we won't give in,
let's go living in the past.

Once I used to join in
every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
what they're fighting.
Let us close out eyes;
outside their lives go on much faster.
Oh, we won't give in,
we'll keep living in the past.

Love the Joy in your Christmas Card.
And good luck with your entry.

Feel better.

Very moving, glad you posted this

wow...awesome photo and words. Thanks for sharing this.

Christmas Cards, brings back memories for me. I used to help my mom stack the addressed ones: "out of state" and "in state" and rubber band and we'd walk to the PO to mail these BUNDLES. She would receive mail 2-3 times in one day from the Post Office. Times have changed. As to those form letters I hate them, so impersonal. yada yada about family I haven't seen in 30 years, I don't even know who those people are...kids spouses, kid's kid's ???
Then when I write back a note about us, no reply..argh!
So I don't bother anymore.

So true, I agree. I was working at a library back in 1990's and when the Internet first came in, oh my the director was trying to figure out how to handle all you've mentioned. The spaces set up with the computers were close together, a child could be seated next to an adult that was viewing X-pages,. I'm glad you posted this.

Hi Robert,
Enjoy this blog, thanks for stopping by mine.

Snow is so beautiful, miss it some, but not enough to move back to the Midwest.
Enjoy the weather...
