People gather, party, dance, share moments of simply enjoying music and friendships.. This is the time of year people are out and about more than they usually are… make sure to enjoy the season, share your smile. It is also the time of quiet reflection. Whatever you decide, it is your decision.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others,

Expecting too much leads to dissatisfaction
When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too.

You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.
And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.
Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.
PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.
PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,
This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.
Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….

In life we all have choices to make. There isn’t a day/night goes by where we are not faced with having to make a choice. Like the many colours in our lives, the palette before us enables to paint/draw/imagine whatever picture, we want, the choice is ours. Maybe not always what happens, but the decision on how to accept or use the hand dealt is ours to make
