Welcome to City-Data.com forum! Make sure to This started as my travel log. (We've been traveling the USA from Seattle, WA since Labor Day '08.) My husband has a great website showing the highlights and his commentaries on the places we've been and the things we've done. (View via my profile home page.)
I found that while discovering the country, I was also finding myself. I am learning what to keep, and what to drop -- or chisel away. I don't mind sharing; maybe you will learn something from my lessons, too.
Then came Bigun, my Cocker-Beagle, my newest guru. He's got his own category in the Blog, and an album on my profile.
You are welcome to what I have, good and bad, and leave messages as you like, but please be kind. I, too, am still "in training."

In Thanks for Today's Blessing

We were blessed today, in that our news was good. Still, as we left the doctor's office parking lot, we reminded ourselves that there are millions out there that were not so blithely leaving their situations.
In gratitude for our blessings, I "speak" my blessing for all that face suffering, in the practice of Tonglen, as taught by Pema Chodron:
"May I be free of suffering and the root of all suffering. May my loved ones be free of suffering and the root of all suffering. May those I dislike be free of suffering and the root of all suffering. May we ALL be free of suffering and the root of all suffering."
