spam, habits, and beginner's mind
Friday morning post in five minutes or less ....
2. I finished The Power of Habit earlier this week. My understanding of neuroplasticity and the ability to change, with the aide of divine inspiration is a relief. And work. I am tooling around with the idea of trying to read through a list of (50) spiritual classics. As I am pretty neurotic once I tackle something, not sure I am ready for that task. Why do I take everything so seriously?
Onward with my beginner's mind! Peace of Christ be with you and yours. I'll leave you with a shot of the new hound.

1. Turns out that being spammed can be a good thing. I received a spam email from an old high school friend earlier this week, which prompted me to call the last phone number I had for him from eight years ago. He is coming up on SEVENTEEN years in the Marine Corps, is a First Sergeant at MCRD and has a beautiful family. He observed correctly, we were "clowns" in high school. Thank God we are not obligated to be our old selves. Then again, maybe being a clown isn't so bad.

3. We have committed to meeting Bob and Monika Brown in Plymouth, Massachusetts, for Thanksgiving. I have been so excited about it that the kids are, I think, already sick of the idea! Or at least of me talking about it.
