I am a lucky person.

When was strolling with Sadie yesterday, I saw a nice sunset.

Then a thought came to my mind.

Now I have everything that I wanted in life:

A partner.

A decent job.

Free time.

Freedom to live the way I want.

I also have Sadie as my family, which I did not even expect.

I am grateful.

I want to always remember how lucky I am.

Happy dog

Sadie is a happy dog.

She loves eating and walking.

She also loves playing and being with people.

When I am with Sadie, I often see what happiness looks like.

She is so precious.

My favorite tree

This is my favorite tree in my neighborhood.

I feel happy whenever I am near this tree.

When I saw it today, it had a strong motherly presence.

It was there like it was supposed to.

It was willing to embrace me as always.

One day I would like to be as big as this tree.

A hawk in the sky

This weekend I saw a hawk flying in the beautiful blue sky.

It looks like it was just floating and enjoying the nice day.

I wondered what it would feel like to fly like that.

So I closed my eyes, and spread my arms.

Then I started to move my body like the hawk.

Sadie started to bark at me, so I had to stop after 20 seconds or so.

But, it felt so nice.

Synchronicity

I used to be an enthusiastic student of calligraphy, but quit it about 30 years ago.

Recently my friend posted photos of her sutra-copying on fb, which I found fascinating.

While reading a book by Emoto Masaru, I felt like writing some nice words with a brush.

Last week, I felt drawn to an art supply store, so went there to check out brushes.

Today I came across a posting about a calligraphy workshop in Worcester, Mass.

Synchronicity!

I might as well get a calligraphy set and see what happens.

Taking action promptly

I have two laptop computers.

One is an old laptop, and the other is a new one I purchased recently.

The new laptop came with a free anti-virus program.

This anti-virus program was to expire on October 31.

I dreaded the idea of having to pay for another anti-virus program.

The day came when the free anti-virus program would expire.

I decided to get Norton's product as I did for my old laptop.

So, I contacted Norton, and was told that I did not have to pay anything.

They said that their product could be installed on up to two computers.

If I had just contacted Norton sooner, I did not need to dread anything at all.
