This morning, a friend sent me this Zen Proverb. These behaviors are already values of mine but I know I will be working on all of them throughout my life. I think it is interesting that the one I do the least is the belly laugh.
Throughout the day, I reflected on how different our world would be if we all were able and willing to do these things.
1. Let go of comparing
2. Let go of competing
3. Let go of judgements
4. Let go of anger
5. Let go of regrets
6. Let go of worrying
7. Let go of blame
8. Let go of guilt
9. Let go of fear
10. Have a proper belly laugh at least once a day
Great list!! I may share it at work…I have a few I will be working all my life…that last one made me smile. I have been watching comedy show when I get home regardless how late it is…and I laugh out loud. And the list may be something nice to share at work…the top four are getting the workplace quite tense.

I was looking at Tournesol and read a lot of good poems but couldn’t figure out what you were referring to in this comment. I just reread your comment and saw it came from Tournesol. I will look at the other one!

What a list. It’s wonderful! And I can remember your belly laugh from many MANY years ago!! I think we were shopping. Remember when we both bought those tunic-length sweatshirts!!! What were we thinking???

Actually I’ve been wishing those would come back!!! I don’t remember shopping for it but I remember wearing it for years. So comfortable.

I usually get the belly laugh, either from blogs I read or because of something someone said.

If you can skip to #10 the other 9 seem to lose their emphasis. Let go and laugh Karuna.
