Day 14 - a picture of someone you could never imagine your life without
will have to wait until I get home from vacation. I need access to my photo archives to post that picture.

Day 15- a picture of someone you wish you could meet.

I'd like to meet the Dali Lama.  

The picture should be enough explanation of why 
and the link provides a few more clues.

 

Day 16- a picture of someone who inspires you.

His black and white photographs amaze me.

      

A lot of positive things have  happened to me in the last year.
The sun comes up, the wind blows, the rain falls.
Each day I have food, electricity, indoor plumbing, clean water...and a myriad of other simple conveniences  often over looked.   
I've made a major change at work that will radically effect my life over the next three years.
Christy, Jeremy, Jesse and I share a home.
Bilbo came to stay.
I purchased a neat little point and shoot camera.
I've had the privilege of being taught how to live again by a tiny buddha.
Life is good.
Really, really good!

I lived in a commune made up of like minded people when I first heard this song.
The song's message fit the situation and I've carried the feeling of living there in my heart since.
When I hear the song, it brings back all the love, sharing, creativity, partying, and....loads of other positive feelings and thoughts associated with that experience.

"Don't think that you are carrying the whole world. Make it easy. Make it play. Make it a prayer." Baba Hari Dass

"I have five pebbles, not too different in size and weight, yet a randomness about them. If I drop them on the carpet they will scatter. Now we could run an experiment and we would find that we cannot put these pebbles in shapes that would be as elegant and as nicely related and with as great a variety as every time they fall. It is better than anything we could do. I have great respect for the way I find things. Every time something falls I look. I cannot believe the relationships. The intricacy. You hear a noise and you say 'What is that?' Respect for the affirmation of the unexpected." —Frederick Sommer

Be not the slave of your own past.
Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and
swim far.  So you shall come back with self-respect,
with new power, with an advanced experience that shall
explain and overlook the old.
~ R. W. Emerson
  
All the Buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be – don’t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance. ~Osho

Happiness isn’t found in wealth, fame, possessions, or sensual pleasure.   Live simply, sharing what you have with those in need.
Never forget that your life exists only in the present.  Pay attention to ‘now’.  Don’t become lost in thoughts of the past or concerns for the future.  Nourish the seeds of hope, peace, love, and joy that are attempting grow all around you.~ Unknown

Today's Challenge: Write A Positive Poem, Story, Take A Pic, or Draw A Picture

I see positive things around me all the time.  They are easy to find if you look.
    

 People helping people (and animals).

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.  ~Mother Teresa

So, what is positive here,  

a personal expression of love.

We don't show and tell each other we love each other nearly enough.

Everyone wants to be loved, needed, and appreciated.

Tell someone you love that you love them today! 

 

Everybody loves Tater.

I talked to Tater. 

Tater doesn't like maters.  

I think it good Tater isn't a mater. 

      

Shining_garnet had a great idea when she came up with Positivity Week.

Today's challenge: A Book That Had A Positive Affect On You

   

Every time I read this it makes me smile.

Forty-two has become a common number in my vocabulary 

and I try never to panic.  

Now if I could just remember to take my towel with me I'd be all set.

Here is the link if you want to know more about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    This is what I see each night when I go to sleep.

 

 I don't think any explanation is necessary with this picture.
