Just a thought.....an idea for you

Act as you would like to feel.  The most important thing was that I focused a big part of a year in my personal development on reading/listening to books by Eckhart Tolle like Stillness Speaks, A New Earth and The Sun Will Also Die and establishing a habit of being in the present moment.
I listened to those books over and over on my mp3 player while out walking, while riding the bus and so on. This had two big benefits: I was very focused on his advice and it popped up in my head during the day which made it easier to stay aware of though patterns and Tolle became a sort positive influence in my weekly life. Just like a friend can influence you with his/her positive, negative or ambitious attitude and vibe.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.

My new birds....Gracie and George!

I got new birdies!!  George on the right it a love bird and Gracie on the left is a Quaker Parrot....I have lots to learn about birds....but so far so good!  They are pretty freaked out...as I just got them last night.  They will be my art gallery birds...and live here at the gallery!  I love them already...Gracie gives kisses and mimicks my laugh which is pretty funny!  Do I really sound like that when I laugh??!!  Quakers are usually big talkers but since the previous owner hasnt worked with her too much...she doesnt talk yet...she will!  And sing....too!!  Apparently they can learn whole songs!  Cant wait...what a fun journey this will be!
