I had been trying to find a picture of the fireworks in Japan that used to take place August 1 at PL headquarters – instead I found this picture .. which is a riot of colour and shows “nature” in one pf her finest moods. The fireworks were to show the awesome delight of watching the amazing artistry of fire in the skies. Why… why was I wanting to showcase electric, dynamic and soul satisfying visuals.. because I wanted to show you how JOY can look, feeling it is hard to capture in words.. because everyone has a different way of using words.. but we all catch our breath when we see fireworks against the midnight black of the skies. or a bouquet of nature’s finest beauties artistically displayed against a clear blue sky.
I am very blessed that I have happiness and love in my life. It is our decision whether to focus on what makes us unhappy or to live in a state of happiness. I choose “HAPPY”… this = contentment….
“Accept everything with appreciation. Appreciate not just people and society, but everything that comes your way. You will experience a deeper joy in life.” (PL 2012.21)

How cool is this! I saw this sign on a wall where there was gym equipment being sold. I knew when I saw it, it was a message to me, you all know I have gone back to Movati (health club/gym) … I’m “trying” to work it into my schedule so that it fits in with my “routine”. There are only so many hours in the day. My focus is and has always been.. being happy.. (I can be so self centered)
The other day I found myself watching other members using the various equipment that I see around. The cardio area has been set up differently from when I left in 2017 at that time, they were bringing in new equipment.. now I’m seeing it, and how it is used. I have been offered a free refresher hour, a tour of the new equipment and how it is used etc. Problem with that is I have to stay an hour with a trainer who will also try to be selling me private coaching lessons.
Not up to that at the moment… I just want to wander and use my time there to stretch, walk, do the stairs, and some weights.. etc. the stretching is important and the stairs. It has only been a short time since I’ve signed up again, and already, I can feel the difference in my legs. Doing the steps .. going up to the second level using the winding staircase… is a must.. even if at first I did it at a crawl. I see even the younger members holding on and “huffing”…. I am sure the stairs were not only designed for appearance, they are functional in more ways than one.
When you reach the 2nd level there is a spacious area with very comfortable looking chairs…(I’m happy to say, I do not sit or use the chairs… I keep moving. If I want to sit I do so on a bike.. and pedal.
Put your heart into what4ever you do, and you will find the joy in it.
If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it (PL2012.19)
Make it a happy day everyone.. Enjoy!

I want this moment back. But I can’t have it. Live each moment to the fullest, we can never get them back. Not a day goes by that I don’t ache with a memory of time shared with this bundle of loving energy. We think we have lots of time to do things, or call and touch base with someone.. The truth is, we only have NOW. don’t squander it with trying to change what is… Accept that today is another day, and live it the best you can.
With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do. With a humble mind, take a second look. Even when you have put your best effort into something, there may be something you overlooked. (PL2014.7)

In my wandering yesterday, I came across a book at charity. I don’t need anymore books, but you know how it is.. your eye falls on something, and after you pick it up to look at it, it somehow stays in your hand.
The life 101 series – You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought. by John-Robert and Peter McWilliams
“Tis the good reader that makes the book; in every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ears; The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. Emerson
Value your intuition. (PL2014.19)

With the extreme heat and humidity… its been a time to retreat to find places where it is cool, inviting and refreshing. Even friends who usually love and can’t get enough of the warm sunny days, are taking a break from being outdoors. Be safe. if you need to be outdoors, drink a lot of water, stay hydrated. Enjoy mini breaks in the shade, pace yourself. Even the animals, they wander and forage early, so they can retire to the safety of their dens/homes.. when the heat takes hold.
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity.
The world we live in, is ever changing. Stay in tune with these changes…. learn to deal with them proactively.

Tuesday
Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions. (PL2012.7)
