When the anticipation of having lobster with soba noodles gets to be too much and you have to indulge. I like to cook them and let them cool, then I simply enjoy the succulent meat with the noodles. Yummy!
How was your holiday gathering…? We have been bombarded for a week about the sales happening, in some cases, the black Friday sales have been on for almost a week!
Yesterday I ran around trying to find pumpkin pie, it was everywhere during the Canadian Thanksgiving, I finally found one so I could have A piece. yes A, meaning a single piece… As much as I love a piece of pumpkin pie smothered with whipped cream… I can only indulge in one piece. Desserts are not high on my list, but the pumpkin pie was the one memory I had of sharing time with my Mom… it was a time where we shared the guilty secret of enjoying the treat on our own… (we were both diabetics) Pies elevate sugar levels!!! Mom has been gone now for almost 10 years…. festive holidays were always so important to her. So altho’ I tend to withdraw into a a quiet laid back day … I do remember her love of sharing a meal with her family, I might be inspired to call my sister.
Simple message today, it is so simple .. it slips easily past your thought process .. after you’ve read it… and agree, yup, you need to slow down… it gets tucked away … and forgotten. Please… take a few minutes today for YOU. Really, really make time for YOU.

re. lobster. No I don’t drown it in garlic butter.. altho’ that is one dip I enjoy… lately I am eating it plain, savouring the taste of the meat on its own. It is healthier for me … no after effects.. there are some great Asian sauces that are a treat, but again.,, sauces contain sugar..
The Soba noodles I drain, and cool them down under the cold water tap, then toss them in a very light seasoning.. depending on my taste wants of that moment. sprinkled with black or white sesame seeds is fun. I found a Vietnamese sauce with a tang that hits the spot too.
Sometimes there are no explanations, life is simply what it is. No more, no less.
Put your whole heart into whatever you do, no matter when or where you are. Don’t try to cut corners or be careless about things. Be fully responsible, completing whatever you set out to do.

Experience the joy of change
It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today compared to yesterday, and realize how much you have improved and changed.

Yesterday was a busy day, yet very tiring…. seems everyone around me is dealing with something, ie. runny nose, cough, chills, the drop in temperature, and the bit of snow we got, seems to have put everyone in a, “let’s go back to bed” mood.
While exploring I found a build that was set in an environment of swirling water incased by walls that let the open skies in and protected from elements. It was the sound of rushing water cascading and tumbling over the rocks, creating such a thundering and rumbling sound that it was musical, I found it was actually soothing. I actually sat on a bench and just let the sounds engulf my senses…. I relaxed… forgot about wanting to explore … and made time to just sit and listen. (will give LM below)
. In PL we celebrate Ancestors’ Day .. every 11th of the month. Service will be at 10:a.m. please if you cannot attend in person, join us for a few silent moments around 10:- 10:15 a.m. In Canada today is also Remembrance Day , in the States I think its called Veterans Day. It is time to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and those who have come before us.
Live today to the fullest
You are here today thanks to your ancestors’ virtue and Makoto (sincere effort). Remember to be thankful and live your life to the fullest so that you can pass this virtue on to the next generation.
