I recently read about the 365 Project that was started by someone who was having difficulty with depression I think.. she took a photo everyday for a year of something that she was grateful for/enjoyed etc
I was wondering if we could do something like that on here, share a picture/ describe something... about something that we are grateful for each day with a little comment.. for instance
Mods... would this be ok?!?

Yesterday, I had a visit from a man born in Malawi. He saw the picture of a Masai on my wall and told me how they drink the blood of their cattle.
Later that night, I was watching the Stanford nueroendocrinologist, Robert Sapolsky lectures and he mentioned the same cultural practice. He mentioned it with great gesticulation and intensity designed for a little laughter from his students, whereas my visitor was just calm and matter of fact. Just gives me a sense that my world is connected.
For a long time I have been saying I cant travel but I the world is coming to my door .. its my way of addressing the excessive western cultural practice of burning up jet fuel and boasting about it in public forums ... tut tut.
By the way ... I dont think Sapolsky is mad .. I am just commenting on relevant things in my life ... I know the difference between data and datum, and will watch a few more of his lectures. Just keeping up to date, little things like stimulate my mind positively ... I didnt make the connection last night ... but now as I am typing.
Ah! the value of ....our own gaze.

Yes connections do seem to happen more than statistically likely. Jung talked about it Freud less.
Sapolsky was discussing Shamanism and meta magical thinking ... but I was so scientifically "superior" I couldnt believe husband with BSc read the stars ...
I do believe it is a mad world
... I better my washing out too .. thanks for chatting over the back fence ...
ooops we are not supposed to be able to be metaphorical ...

I am impressed that you buy so many good books @PeppiPatty. I am more tight .. I tend to stick to the net at the moment for non-fiction ... I figure I will find it online some how ...
Started looking at Stanford utube lecture on Consciousness and Physiology (Tony Nader this time) .....then saw that we had a similar more popular one from my alma mater ... yay ... so now I am looking at Susan Greenfield... and checking out audience to see if I know people.
