Appreciation and The Art of Receiving

When is the last time you looked around at your surroundings and felt appreciative?

Your five senses are receptors. Tuning into what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell brings you into the present moment. You don't have to be looking at the red rocks of Sedona to feel in awe. You can have this experience where ever you are. Keep your eyes and other senses wide open today and find something to be absolutely amazed about.

Movement is medicine

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Henry David Thoreau

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Judy Garland

You cannot manifest that which you cannot conceive.
Dattatreya Siva Baba

I am finally learning something about photoshop. This is one of my first attempts.

A little getaway

One of the great things about living in Arizona is that in very little time I can get to breathtakingly beautiful places like Sedona. The above photo is from the car on the way in. Although I just did an overnighter, I had time to have dinner at the Heartline Cafe, watch the sunset, go on a skywatch where, with three astronomers, I got to look through telescopes and see Saturn, Jupiter and four of its moons, a binary star system, the star Antares in the Scorpio constellation and many other stars. It was an amazing evening! The next morning I had breakfast at my favorite breakfast place, The Coffeepot.
