I am still not convinced that the bull doesn’t need more color.  Hmmmmm….. What color do you think?

Well, whatever the problem with my photo uploading is, it is with Firefox.  Internet Explorer is working just fine.  Thanks to the nice Wordpress Happiness Engineer, Maoko, for helping me figure that out.  How do you like that job title... Happiness Engineer?  I LOVE it!

Harry S. Truman

Roosevelt's third vice-president and the 34th Vice President of the United States, he succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945, when President Roosevelt died less than three months after beginning his historic fourth term.  More...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman

Jello Split - July 30, 2009

More is not necessarily the answer.

We often think that if a little is good, more will be better, or that if we are not happy, it must be because we don't have enough of something.

Wanting and craving. The desire for what we don't have prevents us from appreciating and enjoying what we do have - right now, this moment. We often sell ourselves continual dissatisfaction by focusing on what we appear to lack.

So how much is enough? Can we learn to savor the blessings we have now, today? Do we really need more, or do we need to fully experience the gifts of the present?

I can always want more, but today I will concentrate on what I have right now.

I upgraded my browser to Firefox last night. Everything is acting different this morning. I'm sure that stepping into the newer technology will be good for me, but there is that learning curve. **sigh**
