Look Who's Still Hanging Around

And So Am I - Still Here, Still Me

Henrietta Hoots

My little burrowing owl friend has stuck around. She prowls about at night but almost everyday since she arrived, she has been outside my living room window. I hadn't seen her in a while because I was away working in Miami for a week and then working sunup to sundown on the weekends and then back to Miami for a couple of days. I worried maybe she had found a mate and started a burrow and moved on.

So when I saw Henrietta today, looking at me with those big eyes, turning her head sideways and paying attention to my movements and words to her, it made me smile, and I thought "Hey, I'm still here too."

I've hung on and I'm here and I'm going to be fine.

Heart Healing Breakthrough

Buddha May Have It Right

I realized as I was getting ready for work at 5 this morning that I had awakened several times during the night but had only just then thought of J, K and Largo.


Not forgetting and not regretting but moving forward. A breakthrough, I believe.

Searching for something to help describe or encourage this feeling, an Internet search for Buddah quote on love turned up this first:  No Matter How Hard The Past, You Can Always Begin Again .

And that's where I am. Beginning again with this in mind: There is no path to happiness; happiness is the path.

Thank you Buddha. And Namaste y'all.
