@CanisPundit More of a puff ball, but I'm perky!

@MidnightRider A skillfully made choice does not guarantee a result, but it does guarantee that whatever the result, it can be taken as a lesson that, with mindfulness, can lead to better skillful choices.

From this mornings journal:

Mindfulness in all things. Practice in all things. I'm understanding that principle more and more. What I do, what I say, I manifest in my life. When I bow and remind myself of the sacred, it becomes more present in my mind. There is no magic in this, I think it is natural. What you pay attention to you begin to notice more.

That I have made it a priority, means I'm paying more attention. Which leads me to cherish what is precious more.

@AskTheDevil My bed and blanket travel with me ^_^ They roll up and go in my carry on pack.

Home is always where I can roll out my mat. ^_^ It's especially awesome if I get laid over in an airport or something. Just roll out, let it inflate, and go to sleep ^_^

@OldDude71

@KAutumnrain Truly rad. Black cats rock mightily in my estimation.

And what is life without chaos? ^_^

@AskTheDevil @KAutumnrain He could definitely rock the raybans.

@AskTheDevil @TheNewsOwl Absolutely!

You are both rad souls and I'm glad to know you.

@anniecoughlin A year is optimistic. It will most likely happen faster ^_^

Whole Foods life hack... Use the bulk bins! They're a pretty awesome deal. I get about 3 weeks of oatmeal for about 7 dollars

@KAutumnrain Hello groovy soul!

I am intrigued by all the many species of Goth in the world. Glitter Goth, Trad Goth, Neko Goth is new!

It's a joy to meet you.

@LaurelGreen Hello new buddy! Thank you for traveling with me a while.

@TheNewsOwl Ouch. :( That's a terrible accident.

1 and 4 are my favorites. I'm a sucker for a good serif font.

There is excitement, though, as I depart. I am eager to move on to the next phase of this journey. I go to visit my Editor in Chief, then I leave to visit @Vozy on Sunday.

After that I will help a friend pack for a cross country move and then return home.

I am looking forward to those next opportunities, and others on the far horizon. There is the possibility of Spokane in July, Texas in August, and then we will see where I am sent next ^_^

Good morning groovy souls!

Today I leave Newport News around noon

The journey goes on. I look back with joy over my time here. I am happy I could be of help, and I feel I've grown from it

Leaving though always comes with some melancholy and a touch of concern for my friend, but it is time for him to be on his own again. He's healthier, and in a place of stability. This is the best possible result

The journey never ends, nothing is ever static, it is time to move on

Onward, toward the dawn!

@ceorl You are most kind to see those things in me.

Your continued encouragement and friendship is a gift.
