Happy Mind


“Whatever living beings there may be — feeble or strong, long, stout, or of medium size, short, small, large, those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near, those who are born as well as those yet to be born — may all beings have happy minds.” (The Buddha, Karaniya Metta Sutta)

 

Treat yourself well
Enjoy the purr of a kitty cat
Feel the softness of your pillow
And the warmth of your bed
Treat yourself with kindness
We all make mistakes
Our worth is not at stake
We are loved beyond measure
Treat yourself with care
Tend to your needs
Nurture your heart
And enjoy a Happy Mind

 

 

Embrace all of you.

 

Earthly Pursuits

 
“What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuits.” (Carl Jung)

Time really flies
When you are having fun
What matters most to you
Is what makes you feel alive
So never think twice
About doing what you love
And feeling happy inside

How Happy Are You Right Now?


“Perhaps if one really knew when one was happy one would know the things that were necessary for one’s life.” – Joanna Field (by Sarah Ban Breathnach in “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”, on January 7th)

Sarah Breathnach writes “what is missing from many of our days is a true sense that we are enjoying the lives we are living”… and that “we must learn to savor small, authentic moments that bring us contentment”. 

Take the time to enjoy the joyful moments… the smiles… the lessons… the simple gestures… the tastes… the simple authentic life.
