@BreakingNews In order for the talks to be successful, both sides must be willing to stop killing each other. So far they aren't ready to do that.
@jaunty I am always happy to sit and listen to you. Even on your worst most crabtastic day you are worth love, support and patience.
Thank you for sharing your light with me!
“Try to notice: the frequent discrepancy between the rewards you expected to get from a want, and what it actually feels like to fulfill it. Similarly, notice that the anticipated pain from the things you want to avoid - especially things that would be good for you to open to or go after - is usually worse than the discomfort you actually feel. In effect, your brain is routinely lying to you, promising more pleasure and more pain than you will actually experience…
@sfleetucker @CinnamonGirlE Two and Four, already done six ^_^
@bmacmixer @JoyfullyDazed I'll be honest, pumpkin spice waffles from Nature's Path are a regular feature in my freezer the entire year.
I like to have one on my rest days as a treat when I've hit my goals all week. 90 calories of joy.
@BosmangBeratna Hail Noble Canuck!
@LnzyHou That is a terrible business, I hope they were able to recover quickly.
@JoyfullyDazed Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Spring, I love its beginnings, and summer for the fullness of life in all of its glory. Fall is, to me, a time of celebration and rest. It is a time to count our blessings and cherish especially every good thing while it is here.
Winter is a time of deep rest and a chance to look forward to the next dawn.
@LnzyHou Totally fair, I apologize if my tone sounded dismissive of your concerns.
@feloneouscat To be excellent means to present excellence. What is excellence in this regard? What is the excellence that they embodied?
Radical acceptance, loving friendship, kindness, curiosity. To "Be excellent" is to aspire not only to your best self but to encourage others to aspire as well.
To party on means to persist. To not give up on the dawn light that is our dreams. To seek relentlessly the better day and the higher path.
@feloneouscat has got me thinking about Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures.
They are among my favorite movies of all time. I see a lot of hidden depth in those comedies.
Two Guileless souls, through the power of believing in their dreams, change the world for the better, forever.
It's an incredible and powerful statement.
I've heard it said that "Be Excellent to Each other" is too broad to be of any real meaning or substance. I disagree.
@feloneouscat He needs to stop stealing my act.
The Two great sages gave us the wisdom of inclusion, innocence, and acceptance.
@LnzyHou I am certain you were in the sight lines of counter sniper teams.
Security does not have to be visible to be present. The shooter was killed quickly because of those teams during the trump attempt, and I am certain they have redoubled their efforts since.
@jaunty I think the way that our culture thinks about exercise is broken. I am certain there are certain physical activities that you like to do. Be it a walk in the woods, or dancing, going for a swim, the list goes on and on.
We live our lives kineticly. Even the most sedentary among us must move, and has found at least temporary joy in some kind of movement.
That's the key I think. To find not just what you can endure, but what you can enjoy and love.
@DisasterOracle THose are terrible injuries to endure. I hope they are able to recover well.
