2007 Our Year

This has been a year! Joys, challenges, adventure, loss, sharing, celebration and love. It was great to see so many of our beloved ones and spend time together. As we stay farewell to 2007 and take a look, I realize that it 2007 was a year of great growth. We really lived this year and have so much to be grateful for. To me, Samson lead the way showing us that courage and love go hand and hand-paw to paw, to never give up and to always remember that LOVE IS EVERYTHING. Thank you Samson, we will not forget this.

From the wall of Dr Lobsan of the Tibetan Academy, I love this...................

Never Give Up
No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead develop the heart
Develop the heart.
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends
But to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is happening
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up.

H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama
