People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

Dogs are sick when their noses are warm. The temperature of a dogs nose does not indicate health or illness or if they have a fever. There is an “old wives tale” that cold wet noses indicate health. And Warm or dry noses indicate a fever or illness. The only accurate method to access a dog’s temperature is to take it with a thermometer. Normal dog temperature is 100.5 to 102.5 degrees F.

Many people think excitement is happiness…. But when you are excited
you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you
don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not
doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or
less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no
reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you
understand, and you show that you understand, you can
love, and the situation will change. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

There are times that you just want to give up on something, however if you have held it up for a long time it must be something that is truly worth holding on. ~Good morning quote
Cats can use pet doors: For families that maintain indoor-outdoor cats, nothing’s more convenient than a pet door. Know who came up with the idea? Gravity King Sir Isaac Newton! According to various tales passed down over the years, Newton was experimenting with light in a darkened room and one of his most prized cats (reportedly named “Spithead”) kept opening the door and disrupting the experiment. To keep his work intact and allow the cat the freedom to roam, he cut a small hole in the door and covered it with cloth. That evolved into what is today known as a pet door, suitable for both cats and dogs. Source: MNN
