Five things that uplifted me this week:
5. Smallest Coolest Apartment Contest entries
3. Grannies, grannies and more grannies
2. Tao te Ching #77 (Stephen Mitchell trans.):
As it acts in the world, the Tao
is like the bending of a bow.
The top is bent downward;
the bottom is bent up.
It adjusts excess and deficiency
so that there is perfect balance.
It takes from what is too much
and give to what isn’t enough.
Those who try to control,
who use force to protect their power,
go against the direction of the Tao.
They take from those who don’t have enough
and give to those who have far too much.
The Master can keep giving
because there is no end to her wealth.
She acts without expectation,
succeeds without taking credit,
and doesn’t think that she is better
than anyone else.
1. Tina Turner’s Better Be Good to Me lyrics:
You better be good to me
That’s how it’s gonna be
Cause I don’t have the use
For what you loosely call the truth
And I don’t have the time
For your overloaded lines
How about you?

Hmm, I had some thoughts along this line earlier in the day? Week? Um… the flowering trees are blooming and that always makes me happy.

Hey, that’s me you are linking to!
Thanks for making my day. I have a couple of other afghans in the works that I’ll be finishing soon!
