We added two new members to our family before all this happened and they are providing wonderful therapeutic value. They are two small adult dogs that we adopted – a bonded pair. So grateful that they came into our lives at this time.
Equanimity is steady through vicissitudes, equally close to the things you may like and the things you do not like.
Observe when the tendency to move away from what you do not like ends, and the tendency to hold on to what you like is equally absent.
Personal preference no longer dictates the direction of attention.
Equanimity contains the complete willingness to behold the pleasant and the painful events of life equally.
It points to a deep balance in which you are not pushed and pulled between the coercive energies of desire and aversion.
Equanimity has the capacity to embrace extremes without getting thrown off balance.
Equanimity takes interest in whatever is occurring simply because it is occurring.
Equanimity does not include the aversive states of indifference, boredom, coldness, or hesitation.
It is an expression of calm, radiant balance that takes whatever comes in stride.”

Love this Andrea and so very true. We can never get rid of those negative thoughts but we sure can change how we react to them. Yes, anything is possible. 🙏 Thanks for shining so brightly. Happy Easter my friend. 🐣😍

I love that so much VJ. I know the healing my sister’s “Teddy” therapy dog brings to her. Full circle HEALTHcare 🌎💙
