Today all the house guests were picked up. Thank you for staying; come again soon!

Mr. Checkers and I roamed the fields and woods, him leading the way.

Here he is enjoying the snow in the exercise yard.












2 feline guests: 1 pee in the wrong place and a poop to scare Mike as he stepped into his morning shower, 2 sleepless nights as Maya, Moonie, and Mama Cat danced around each other hissing, Moonie's need to poke her nose in your eye while you are sleeping, Ella (female rabbit) humping Moonie (female cat), Mama Cat curling up on the couch next to me and Mr. Checkers, Moonie poking into everything with her 2 faces, endless filling up of the food bowls, Maya's 1st adventure with a dog and 2 other cats, making cat toys, soft fur, purring...

Moonie



In addition to the 3 at home, daily 2:00 trips to Patti and Chief's farm to feed Sammie Jo and Callie. Mike came along for the exercise walk to the lake.

The Four Agreements

Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak
against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in
the direction of truth and love.

Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection
of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions
and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings,
sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely
transform your life.

Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different
when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do
your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
