document kindness, life's selfless acts, beautiful moments and gentle amusements and encourage others to do the same

I went and played music. I had three friends from work show up down there because I had told two of them about it…. the third one was a random thing. I believe they had a good time. I was happy my wife got to meet them. I am also happy that I had an OK set.

My little dog is Sadie…. She has a cashew addiction. She is sooo special. We have this game we play where I toss a cashew out in the room, then while she is retrieving it I put another one of the top of the couch back. She never sees me put it there, but now when I throw the cashew out in the room she gobbles it and makes a beeline for the couch beside me and snags the second cashew. She always turns away from me as she goes back down on all fours on the couch cushion beside me… that’s when I slip the 3rd cashew onto the back of the couch cushion…. sometimes… it trips me out because she got this 3rd habit of finishing the second and going right back for the 3rd. Then… I quit putting the 3rd up there until she quits looking for it… then she gets down off the couch afer the second and I have slipped the 3rd up there… and I simply look toward the back of the couch and she zips back up and it’s there!!!!! (what can I say, small things amuse small minds, mine and my dogs)

trying to be helpful. I appreciate it.

A group of elder people have let me visit with them and ask for whatever topic I would like to discuss… and then they give me their best thoughts….... This has been such a kindness to me…. This morning I asked about judgmentalism, as I experience it and as I witness it in other people. Why do I think judgmentalism in myself is normal and justified while what I see from others is appalling? The answers were really eye-opening.
