Stocking Stuffer

First quote from the book "Santa" aka mom and dad left me in my stocking this year...

"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need- a homely home and simple pleasures, one of two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink, for thirst is a dangerous thing." - Jerome Klapka Jerome

Can tell I am going to like this book already. Will let you know how the rest goes. =)

4 Noble Truths

Byodo Temple at the Valley of Temples- Kaneohe, HI

"We become mindful by abandoning our expectations about the way we think things should be and, out of our mindfulness, we begin to develop awareness about the way things really are. We begin to develop the insight that things are really quite simple, that we can handle ourselves, and our relationships, very well as soon as we stop being so manipulative and complex."
