Today is our 15th year anniversary for the opening of one of my piratical passions. If you ever have the chance to visit St Augustine, you’ll see one way in which I adhered to my mantra: “Follow your enthusiasm!”

Nothing “dreary” about this rainy day. Yes, it’s raining and it’s wet and it’s cold; but not “dreary” - which is a negative mind perspective. Accept ‘what is’ because it ‘is!’

If you can’t think of something to be thankful for during this holiday, then be thankful for what you don’t have that you wouldn’t want. Happy Thanksgiving!

Standing higher than the mist but not as high as the crescent moon. Feeling some raindrops but not displeasure. Seeing my dogs enjoying their leash-less walk but not a worry. Experiencing it all in awe.

Think about it, your present thought about this fire pit photo is just a thought. Might be pretty or ugly, enjoyable or miserable, but recognize that it’s just an illusory thought. Not true! No different than the thought you have about yourself or anyone else.

Celebrating our 53rd anniversary of our 1st date! The Sufi mystic Rumi said it so beautifully: “Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”

An inquisitive sign on my path: “What is my problem right now?” See that the Now never has any problems; problems only arise in time (past & future thoughts).

Our Tibetan Terrier was too tired to walk uphill last evening so Diane suggested I literally give him a lift. Our Aussie said: WTF!

Feels great walking through the majestic portal to the Basilica di Santa Croce. I lit a lone candle for my dad, the real Pat Croce. 🙏

Amazing how trees recently fell during a storm across one of our property’s walking paths & didn’t disturb the resting Buddha. Don’t allow anything to disturb your peaceful mind today.
