Spring is Here

A sure sign of spring where I live is the return of the robins.  Also here a hallmark of spring are the newborn calves.  So cute, dotting the pastures.  Spring gives us hope.  What is your hope today?

Dwane's Birthday

Today is Dwane's birthday.  I purchased flowers yesterday and will take them to his grave today.  I still miss him.  I would love to be able to discuss this current, crazy political situation with him.  He was so well informed and rational.  God bless him in his journey in the afterlife.  

Peace

"World peace must develop from inner peace." Dalai Lama

I think it is hard to maintain inner peace in our times.  Russia just announced it had a new weapon that could reach anywhere and not be intercepted.  The U.S. has inner strife and discontent among its citizens.  Violence is in the news daily.  Despite that, it is critical that we develop and maintain inner peace.  One way I do that is by managing my inner and outer conversations -- to avoid negativity.
