Flow

Friendly today

A new confidence. Stood my ground on current critical path revision but also listened to solid advice

Google's endless collection of features

This lyric:

You had to sneak into my room
Just to read my diary
It was just to see just to see
All the things you knew I'd written about you

Plans for batman imax this weekend

a few good things

Morgan got his first dose of ivermectin for heartworms, doing good, did not have any reaction and is still very active.

 

He also has gained 3 pounds the past few weeks.

 

Get to work on a fun project at work which will involve some illustration. Just wonder what happened to my old set of prismacolors.

 

Been raining so much but the good thing is that I have not had to turn on my sprinklers!

 

Got to stuff myself at Sweet Tomatoes for lunch today! Yum!!

i dunno if it works better public or private

1 nice dinner
2 nice chat
3 thinking of leaving
4 radical acceptance
5 me smart

you are featured on Cliff Pickover's Reality Carnival

Cliff Pickover's Reality Carnival Unleashed

can you stop labeling things as "good" or "bad"?

Nothing is intrinsically good or bad, it just is. But we, due to our conditioning (the way we were trained to be adults), we completely lost that knowledge. 
And we all know that happiness really has nothing to do with circumstances we are in. There are plenty powerful, beautiful, and rich people who are unhappy to the core.
So, what do you think would be a way to uncondition our minds, to stop calling things bad or good? To accept them and to remain happy in our core at all times?

sleeping till 6:30, yay!
having time for breakfast, too!
overall confusion, it was beautiful
being trusted
connecting on a deeper level over dinner in the sun

Anchor me in a sea of silence

Any lolcat

Collaborative design process in effect at work

Not getting sucked in to someone elses drama, trying to remain compassionate

Seeing my work appreciated

Lighting conditions on the bay bridge so sublime

my five good things

I love laughing with my husband

My adorable puppy wakes me with a kiss on the nose

Waking early to hear the whisper of the morning

Annie is coming to visit

Friends will make me smile today
