Hold on to Your Potatoes

And of course, welcome to City Daily Photo and 








Meet Artemis, my daughter's dog you've seen before however she's all dressed up with a tie? (really) for the occasion of "honor" as my running theme for today's post. 









"I don't want to understand life. 
I want to live it."

"Sometimes compassion is the greater part of honor."
Rachel Vincent




My Dash, he has the sweetest most devoted heart as all pups do, especially for his Mama. Me.





... and on those cold, cold evenings, always search for the hot chocolate!
It's a shiny moment in one's heart to honor yourself with chocolate!


"Remember to rejoice in the shiny little moments
 of our lives before we entirely lose our peace of mind."
Bhuwan and reshaped by me.





No Emme tell me you aren't sticking your sweet little togue out at me!



"We spend almost all of our time listening to the things people are saying that we rarely pay attention to our conversation with ourselves. It's not always what we hear but it's our inner conversation with ourselves that shapes our life."

Bhuwan Thapaliya




Hello sweet Rusty my son Dan's pup!


"We have to be part of the silence in order to cherish and understand the silence completely."

Bhuwan Thapaliya




Hello sweet pup that I don't know but absolutely I want to pet you!




"If you stay humble and keep your humility embedded in your behavior then no circumstances can erode your core. You will keep on shining evermore."

Bhuwan Thapaliya





"Life is moving much too fast. I think I can't catch up with it. A little bird flew out of nowhere and sat calmly on my shoulder. No worries, I'm not afraid of being left out now. I'll never chase life. Instead, I'll try to see, understand and enjoy life as much as I can. Little bird, you opened my eyes."

Bhuwan Thapaliya




Doesn't this expression say,
 "No, I didn't do it" or "Can I have a hug?"



Afterall ....
"Simple, genuine goodness is the best capital to found the business of this life upon. It lasts when fame and money fail and is the only riches we can take out of this world with us."
Louisa May Alcott
