'At the end of the day we are left alone, to the mercy of our hearts.'

I'm turning over a new leaf, or perhaps its a shovelful of snow. Does anyone besides me pay an exorbitant price for being
too nice? When I scrutinize my
nice behavior--oh, and scrutinize I do!--it usually unearths a deep need to be loved, or at least liked enough. So, I am aware that dishonest or self-serving motives do not a nice person make.
Along my journey I am continually searching for peace--of mind, and heart
and pie. During this winter I've been on the lookout for signs that life sustains itself--
whether I am nice or not. Thus these snapshots of the sun's various blue shadows on the snow and little critter footprints.

In an article I read recently by Geneen Roth I was struck by the following as it applies to mindful vs. emotional eating:
'...you'll discover: The you who is not your past, not your habits [yeah!], not your compulsions. When you get to know that person, anything becomes possible. . .'
Its all good. Please enlarge my photos and you'll see what I mean!

Hello soulmate (I think)
We can be so accommodating that we lose ourselves . . . sitting on the fence means we see both sides of the argument and never get to express our own views! Hey, we should be physchologists, physchoanalsyts,lawyers . . .
I must add that your photographs are wonderful! Certainly the seasons revolve, renew and that must be a promise that life continues . . . think of all those little critters that survive, despite enormous odds. They have no gurus telling them how to live . . . listen to your instincts!
The photos are Gorgeous...and I think you're a Doll!!!
Hugging you today friend!!!!
