I always wash once all my new clothes, especially undies,before i wear them for the first time. The thought of visiting my parents and having to take extra care on my appearance because of it has really changed a few habits in my daily life...for the better. Now i have socks and enough undies. I am having my pants taken up. and two weeks ago i got a haircut.

There is only the outside light and a tiny dim light in the salon right now. Both dogs are fast asleep with me. The sky is cloudy but there is plenty of light on the horizon.

I have not meditated today except on one of my walks with the puppy and billy, back from the post office twice. no prayers either. Je remercie le ciel pour tant de bonne énergie saine et vigoureuse aujourd'hui. om mani peme hung amen! may all my loved ones and strangers benefit.
