Teaching Friendship

This is absolutely a story to forward

What the pictures show… a small adult dog walks down the sidewalk along a fence.  She stops at a gate, and waits.  A lovely black and white adult cat walks out to join the dog.  He leans against the dog as though saying hello.  Then both animals continue the walk, together, in comfortable silence.

*************************************

Every day - at the same time - she waits for him...
He comes... and they go for a walk
Wouldn't it be great if we all had friends like this...no words needed...they just intuitively recognize the value of each other in their lives and act accordingly.

****************************************

I hope that you enjoyed this.  Sometimes, pictures do tell the story that we need to know.

 

Blessings,

Happy Thanksgiving Canada October 2025

This poster says:

A prayer of Thanksgiving and Praise

"The Canticle of Brother Sun" 

                 by St. Francis of Assisi

MOST HIGH, almighty God

Yours be the praise, the glory, the honor

And every blessing,

To you alone, my God, do they belong,

And no one is worthy to utter your name.

Be praised, my God, with all our creatures,

Especially Brother Sun,

To whom we owe both day and light,

For he is beautiful, radiant and of great splendor

Of you, my God, he is an emblem.

Be praised, my God, through Sister Moon

And the Stars,

You make them in the heavens, bright, precious

And beautiful.

*******************

Regardless of one’s faith, this poem or canticle is a beautiful example of giving thanks by praising.

If you wish to say a prayer or make comments before a meal, this is an easy prayer to use.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Blessings,

Judy

About Perfectionism

The poster says, “ Done is better than perfect.”

Buddhism asks us to go beyond the self, not to perfect the self.  - Dharmavidya David Brazier, "Living Buddhism" 

It is difficult to really know what perfectionism is.  We all seem to know what is not perfect.  We constantly say, “Well, it’s not perfect!”  

We are such ego driven beings – we humans think that we know what perfection is.  

The Angels tell us that each of us is perfect the way we are.  If this is true, then why do others wish to change us?

Maybe that is why more and more people live alone.  Then, they don’t have anyone constantly telling them what is wrong with them.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could say, “Here is what is right about you….”

Blessings,

Judy
