A moose finds a snack at the New England Outdoor Center in Millinocket, Maine.  Aislinn Sarnacki took the photo while on a hike.  Moose like aquatic plants, they're easier to reach.

Linda continues to improve, she'll go to rehab soon I think, then I won't be able to visit, thankfully there's the telephone.

There is a story about a boy who left home and dishonored his father by spending a large amount of money on fast and reckless living. When the boy's money ran out, he was faced with the prospect of re­ turning home to face his father, knowing the father had every reason to be disappointed in him. Filled with fear and shame he approached his home, his mind racing with words of apology. Before the boy could say a word, his father rushed to him with open arms and hugged his lost son in joy and love.

Have we done this? Have we found it in our hearts to approve whatever a loved one does, even if we would have wanted something different?

I quit on October 25, 2013, it was the best decision I ever made (or, one of them). I smoked for over 50 years and quit Cold Turkey. My most useful tool is gratitude, you can borrow some from me.
