I used to love his pieces of eastern european musical influence in tradition.  Today it is not so sunny so far, rather very cloudy and white skies of clouds covering them. I am trying to not smoke until noon. I want to have regularly throughout the day 3 hours where I dont smoke here and there. Everything is so nice today. the picture abve is the gift I sent my parents from us two on my crazy shopping splurge. 

Tummo has just come in to eat on the kitchen table where she always eats (otherwise the dogs eat her food). What to do today? i am changing my focus instead of cigarettes, other things such as writing or listening attentively to the radio and meditating. 

Nothing new to report this morning except for two bush trails all the family together minus tumtum and pancakes cooked by hubby. I feel my parents very present this morning. I had an email from them in the morning waiting for me. Piano music is playing right now. it is all right but I may put Songs of the Bardo very soon to meditate a bit. I am so sad I lost contact with my boss nun from 2003. I was too crazy wisdom in my last emails and she got irritated or bothered by it. And kindly asked me to refrain from emailing her again. Sigh. Which i have done.
