Everything changes, nothing remains without changes ... Fill your mind with compassion ... We are what we think. All that we are arises with out thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world ... The way is not in the sky, The way is in the heart ... We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it? (Buddha)
With that note in mind ... one must live life to the fullest!!!
What we think, we become!!!

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things, which renew humanity. The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. (Buddha)
There are loved ones in our lives who can touch us in special ways, leaving footprints upon our hearts and echoes in our minds.
Do not wait until loved ones are missed, Do not wait until memories become treasures, Do not wait ...
Give a BIG hug to your loved ones today- 2 legs and 4 legs, Do not wait to tell them how much you LOVE them!!!

Since I am only part Frenchie, I would like to share a little heritage of my other ethnic half, Vietnamese. Today, I celebrated not only Valentine's Day but also Lunar New Year, the more popular name for the Vietnamese New Year is Tet.
Vietnamese people are often coined "Children of the Dragon." Vietnamese legend describes dragons roaming the Earth during Tet. Vietnamese legend paints the magical story of a Dragon King and a Fairy Princess falling in love. Upon marriage, the Fairy Princess gave birth to 100 eggs which hatched into 100 children. The children were said to be as brave and kind as their Father Dragon, as well as, charismatic and beautiful as their Mother Fairy. According to legend, the 100 children grew up to become ancestors of Vietnam.
TODAY, I learned that I am also part Dragon and part Fairy-how pawsome is that!!!
Following tradition of the Tet festivities, you must 1.) display yourself in the finest clothes (Grandma bought ME a new knitted sweater), 2.) indulge yourself with good food (Grandma cooked organic pumpkin chicken and Mommy cooked apple-cranberry oatmeal cookies for ME), 3.) visit with family and friends (Grandpa walked ME around the neighborhood), 4.) surround yourself with love ones (Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, Uncle John, and Uncle Kevin always envelope ME with love) 5.) receive li xu-red envelopes (the li xu given to ME is my new toy that is as big as ME)
Wishing ALL a wonderful and prosperous Lunar New Year!!!
