I wrote every ones name on a very small piece of paper. There were 32 of you, with no duplicates.
I folded all the names in half and then in half again and placed them in to one of Madi's little food containers. These things are very nice for holding beads too(recycling tip of the day). They also stack very nicely.
Must save everything... I might use it in the next 20 years. LOL
I then recruited my trusty sidekick to help me.
Look! She is doing what I asked and only picked one. OK, take note please, this is probably the last time I will ever see this. I have the camera ready because I am telling her not to put it in her mouth and I think she is going to that too.
See how she minds, my beautiful little grand child.
Luckily, I wrestled it from her quick enough that the paper did not turn in to a slobbery mess.
Awwwwwwww, no wonder, Sweet sweet Bella http://bellasinclair.blogspot.com/ , nom nom nom!
Buddha is coming to live with you Bella. Please get me your address.
You have 5 days to get back to me or Madi will eat, I mean pick, another person.
"What we think, we become"
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
"It is better to travel well than to arrive."
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. "
"He is able who thinks he is able."
"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind."
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
"Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it."
Buddha
Gautama Buddha is said to be born around 563 BCE and had died around
483 BCE., most modern scholars agree on these dates.
In Buddhist tradition Gautama Buddha's birth name was Siddhartha Gautama, this was changed after he went on a quest for the truth behind life and death. After reaching enlightenment while sitting beneath a tree, Siddhartha Gautama was able to claim the name of Buddha. Gautama Buddha is the historical founder of Buddhism.
