Let's work at not being this

When asked what surprised him the most about humanity, the Dalai Lama said,

"Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future. He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Stephen Chbosky

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

You're my people

It was less than a year ago when I stumbled upon this diagram and saved it on my computer under "someday.jpg" -- except now, that someday that I was thinking about is today. It's everyday with Bear. 

Happy 2 year 4 months!
