Don't Dwell On Past Troubles
Every person has moments of suffering and unpleasantness in his life. If you master the skill of living in the present, you will keep these moments limited to the actual negative experiences. Both before and after a painful experience you will focus on what is at that moment, freeing you from much unnecessary pain in your life. Very young children have this skill naturally, and that is why they enjoy life unless they are presently in pain. As we grow older, our ability to use our minds and think about the past and future increases. This ability can be utilized in very beneficial ways, but it can also be detrimental. We can transform our lives into suffering and torture by keeping in mind all our unpleasant experiences of the past. Forgetting those experiences is the positive aspect of forgetfulness.

I am back in San Diego after my first spiritual trip of the year. I will continue to send pictures from the trip last week. Here is downtown Portland celebrating one of their favorite sons, Director John Ford. There are statutes celebrating his academy award victories.

We Got A New Dog I need some help with a Name!!!!!!
I got a new dog to guard our house. It was a little more than I thought I should pay but I think when word gets out we'll be a relatively crime free neighborhood.
The nice part is he is a year old and already fully trained. For your safety you might want to call the house from the driveway and in the safety of your car!
