Honesty means there are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words, or actions. To be honest to one’s real self and to the purpose of a task earns trust and inspires faith in others. Honesty is never to misuse that which is given in trust.
Today I am grateful, honest...
- that it is Saturday
- that I spoke with my HP before my feet hit the floor this morning
- for inner and outer dreams
- that I still have the desire to post every day. So many have fallen to the wayside, or post infrequently--so many so that I have less and less to keep up with. Sad.
- that this evening I have Joyce Harlow's opening to attend before going to Nauhaus to stand with my own art, and that Peter Messing's show will be successful.
Real honesty is being honest about what your possibilities are, what your potentials are. That's where true honesty lies. It stretches us. It’s not simply admitting where we are - that’s a beginning step, it’s not the end step. So be honest about where you are but also be honest about what your possibilities are. That keeps the challenge of the path always before us. ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Oh you have a fun day planned! You know there are less to keep up with, but..I am finding a couple of new blogs that I'm enjoying also.
Have fun tonight! Stand by your art! (hummed to the tune of Stand By Your Man)
Enjoy your evening. You'll miss me in diapers.
Possibilities a part of honesty! Never would have thunk it! More & more revealed. Amazing.
Have a great day. I am so glad you still want to post.
I like Bill's tune to your art. I hope others enjoy it as I have.
