Simple Formula For Living

Live beneath your means

Return everything you borrow

Stop blaming other people

Admit it when you make a mistake

Give clothes not worn to charity

Do something nice and try not to get caught

Listen more, talk less

Every day take a 30 minute walk

Strive for excellence, not perfection

Be on time. Don’t make excuses

Don’t argue. Get organized

Be kind to unkind people

Let someone cut ahead of you in line

Take time to be alone

Cultivate good manners

Be humble

Realize and accept that life isn’t fair

Know when to keep your mouth shut

Go an entire day without criticizing anyone

Learn from the past. Plan for the future.

Live in the present

Don’t sweat the small stuff

It’s all small stuff

Take sips of this pure wine being poured.

.Don’t mind that you’ve been given a dirty cup

— Rumi

Any path is just a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.

It doesn’t matter where you came from…

What matters is who you choose to be.

We have feral cats in the hood. There is one that hangs out on my back deck and on our street. This one I call “Rocky”. He looks like a Maine Coon Cat. Thus, Rocky Raccoon. I tried to get his photo…

Just couldn’t get a good shot, but I will.
