Uncle Paho bought Canyon a web cam for Christmas so they can see each other when they talk. We set it up today and Canyon loves it. I do too! I am thrilled that Canyon and Paho will be able to chat more often. And it's free (skype.com)! Paho sent me this picture from their chat this morning).

Day # 8

Daily advice from the Dali Lama...

If we really want to make our lives meaningful and happy, we should begin by thinking sanely. We should cultivate the human qualities we all possess but which we bury under a heap of confused thinking and conflicting emotions.

I shared this with Gary this morning before I left for work. We both laughed. Not because the advice is funny but because thinking sanely is surely subjective, especially between us.

Enjoying Canyon and the snow...
