    Today in my meditation group, a rather new person asked a question about how, if we let go of our attachment (in her example our attachment to someone with cancer) how do we remain compassionate? We talked about it as a group, it was a good talk and at the end she said "I just can't tell you what a life changing statement that is. To think about taking our own fears and stories and putting them on another person's situation instead of just being present for them with full love and compassion. Just...wow." You could tell that she had a realization that was going to change the way she looked at life. It was really cool.

    For the first time in 8 months, it was 70 degrees today and we spent the entire day from noon until 7:30 outside. Yard work, gardening, took my grandma shopping, Little League baseball started today, played at the park. It was amazing. Fresh air and sunshine does so much for the mind and body.

    Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Sandwich from Whole Foods... this is what it kinda looks like... wasn't sure how to best represent Whole Food's version since I can't find a pic of it on the web. It was either post this picture, or a picture of heaven:

    So good, yet so bad to eat. :lol: I also have some Vegan General Tso's Chicken. OMG to die for. And I have a really bad soy sensitivity, and I still eat this stuff. It's worth the eventual headaches and itchiness and so forth. :D

  • Decided to re-start up an Instagram account (had one before, lost interest, DELETED!)... But anyway, I took a picture of a beautiful poppy today and thought, "Eh, why not? I have so many lovely nature pictures... I should share them with the interwebz." :) So add me if you have one! http://instagram.com/sillyputtybuddhist

    Beyond thrilled.
    Imagine that. Empathise. People that care to love rather than reject what is personally fulfilling. It is just getting light. Time to meditate on my perfect life. Eh ma ho. Be thrilled. Good plan.

    Otherwise move along . . . nothing to see . . . many thanks . . .

    My state house of representatives voted to legalize gay marriage. Monday our Senate should vote on it (and it should easily pass) and the governor has said without a doubt he will sign it. Starting August 1, we should see people finally able to legally marry their life partners. Beyond thrilled.

    Back in November during the election I knew a conservative who lived in a conservative neighborhood and had all the signs for conservative candidates and yes on voter ID but had a Vote No sign for the gay marriage ban amendment. I saw several other yards like that as well.

    I'm glad they came back right away after that ban was voted down to legalize gay marriage in this state.

    If you don't like it (marriage equality), you kin giit out!

    Spent the day with my little man, girlfriend (think I can call her that now!) and her daughter, had Sunday Dinner out, drove around for a bit while she sang along to a disney CD, was funny as she knows all the words and I love the way she looks at me when she see's me smiling at what she's doing, then back to mine to watch a DVD together. Got kisses and cuddles, laughs and smiles, really enjoyed the day. Can't wait till we all go to London together in two weeks. Ahh....

    Today I randomly ran into my dad at the airport. We sat down and had some juice and coffee, and talked about life and shared jokes. Really made my day :D

    Lost my cell phone :) Actually I lost it on Saturday night, and really I'm perfectly happy not having it right now, lol. Eventually I will have to switch to my other phone if I cannot find this one. But right now, I am content not having something ringing/buzzing all the time. Anyone who needs me that badly already knows where I am.
