A true friend is the one who picks you up when you fall
A true friend is one that won't lie
A true friend is there when you call
A true friend is there when you want to die
A true friend knows just what to say
A true friend won't care what other people think
A true friend will help you find your way
A true friend will make sure you don't sink
A true friend will help you choose your path
A true friend will know when something is wrong
A true friend has to sometimes face your wrath
A true friend makes you feel like you belong
A true friend

I tried to organize my g+ circles,
but instead messed them up big time.
I accidently removed some friends from
the circles. I am going to add them back.
Please forgive me…

To me, breathing is a joy that I cannot miss. Every day, I practice conscious breathing, and in my small meditation room, I have calligraphed this sentence: “Breathe, you are alive!” Just breathing and smiling can make us very happy, because when we breathe consciously we recover ourselves completely and encounter life in the present moment.

Only one thing I expect from all of you: to be yourself, to discover your inner beauty, your purity of consciousness, your hidden splendor — and spread it to as many people as possible. People are miserable. Help them to laugh a little, to sing a little, to dance a little. ~Osho

Thank you so much my dear g+ friends
for all your prayers and for being
so kind to me during this dangerous storm.
I survived the storm, with no harm,
only lost 5 pounds, not bad. I'll make up soon.

Finally our driveway is clean again!
With the help of my two little brothers
and my auntie, we finished shoveling
the snow in 8 hours. Mom is very happy!
However, everyone admits that
a vegetarian works faster than meat eaters :)))
Now, I am back to my usual business…

I'm going back outside now,
to shovel more snow.
Will return to g+ later.
The snow is almost
as high as my house fence.

I have never seen this much snow since I came to U.S.A. The snow is still falling and very windy too, almost knocked me down a few times. Well, Nemo storm is still very friendly to me. Okay, today, seems like I will have to shovel the snow all day, all by myself, since I am the only healthy person in the family :))))) Not sure how long I will survive!

Lots and lots of snow!
I finally got home!
Just helped mom shovel
the snow for three hours.
Snow are still falling like tears,
but my mother said 
I could take a break for now.
After 3 hours I would not say, "NO"

A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfill that. That is not loving; it is destroying.

The storm will get really bad by 1pm.
I hope I can still drive back home, by then.
The editor said I can return home around noon.
