In some respects, it hasn't been a great day. I stayed home from work with what may or may not turn out to be the first cold of the season. The hot water heater broke before I could take a shower. Early into nap #1 repairmen came to tear off the building's old gutters and put new ones into their place. I asked them (politely) if they would use rubber hammers but was repeatedly ignored. Lousy movies all day on TMC. However, between nap #2 and nap #3 I did venture out into the beautiful California weather to take some photos.
Identify the location of the above photo
and a shiny new dime can be yours!
There's other good news as well. Tonight I cooked some delicious BBQ chicken in my slow cooker. Adding apricot preserves to the sauce was a good move. Early tomorrow morning I intend to go Lake Hollywood to take some more photos. Later in the afternoon the Netflix people tell me I will be receiving "Napoleon Dynamite", a movie I've never seen but am looking forward to.
And let's not forget what Thich Nhat Hanh says:
Be yourself.
Life is precious as it is.
All the elements
for your happiness
are already here.
There is no need
to run, to strive, search or struggle.
Just be.

That's cool but the really life-afffirming link (video) is "Happy Couple". You'll really like it.
I'm stealing that quote, too, Kevin, thanks. Please keep reading books so we don't have to!
Not as easy as Thich Nhat makes it sound... But a worthy aspiration. Thanks for posting this wonderful quote.
