The weather forecasting industry is an obvious crap shoot. We were geared up for a snow-in, bought groceries and the whole bit, only to see the ground lightly covered in white. Perhaps later in the day it may change. Some places are expecting ice, which makes the roadways treacherous. Either way, for us the weather is what it is, cuz we don't have to be out. It's windy, as I watch the light snow crawl across the parking lot.
The one sentence from my Tao daily is....."We must understand how the past affects us, we should keep the present full of rich and satisfying experiences, and we should devote some energy each day to building for the future." Tao stresses appropriately balancing and joining the past, present and the future. That's quite a powerful thought, and sometimes it's really hard to disengage from the past with all its wobbles and woes.
One's tendency is to spend too much time re-living the past and fearing the future, forgetting to live the present to its utmost. It takes discipline to balance our minds and act as a sheep dog to get our thoughts back on the path.
Tonight is my night to fix supper, so the menu will be tater tot casserole and Asian coleslaw with fresh grapes. Forgot to take the hamburger out of the freezer last night, so hope it will thaw out before it's time to put the casserole together.
Last evening we watched twelve deer out front Venny, at first walking and then running with their white tails in the air.
"Swift as a deer.
Quiet as a shadow.
Calm as still water."
