Pulled a card this morning. Asking "How should I approach the day?"
King of Swords. Hardcore intellect & logic.
Do I think of Socrates? Seneca? Nagarjuna? Spinoza?
No.
The first being I thought of was Spock from "Star Trek."
I haven't watched that show in over a decade. 🖖🖖🖖

Was feeling very low today. Asked my son to send me a list of reasons why I am a good father/human being. Here's his response. I'm a fortunate father.

Way happy I could journey outside for a while today. Plenty pics of trees and sky (to be shared later), but this LBJ is the only winged creature I caught on camera. Some might think them boring since they are so ubiquitous, but I think any creature that can fly has my love and fascination

Watched all three "Hangover" films back to back this past week.
I always thought they'd be brain rot.
I was wrong.
If #AlbertCamus were alive today he'd own all three films.

If #UEFA is as corrupt as corrupt can be, but my team has a #ChampionsLeague game today, is it immoral or unethical for me to watch the game?

I love this time of year. The Veil feels thinner. (I mean, if you believe in that sort of thing.😱)
Here's a pic of part of my meditation space. Sharing a little light.
Anyone focusing on #Samhain or #folkmagic instead of regular #Halloween? Curious to see others' approach.

Haven't been able to get out for birding as of late, so here's another pic from the days when I had canines as clients. (And for the record? I think #poodles may be smarter than most humans. 😊)

I like the remake of #StephenKings #It. Yet, even though the first was made for TV, and occasionally has some horrific acting, it's still my favorite. Why? Tim Curry's performance is genius, and most importantly, the characters really make one care for them. Worth a watch this #Halloween season.

Before the #fibromyalgia kicked in, was studying to train #dogs. One of the best jobs I've ever had. Why? Dogs are honest. I admire that.
This client's name was Ralphie. He OWNED the street wherever he roamed.
Figured this image would bring a smile to anyone's face. 😊
