being objective…
When you get stuck, take a step back. When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

How many times have I gotten up, read the lesson of the day, taken it in and moved on with my day… its not till later in the day that the morning lesson steeps in, and I have a light bulb moment. So often in these times, we are multi-tasking, running from one ‘thing to do” to another… let’s remember to take that moment in the day to reflect on “are you being kind to yourself!!”
Remember the mailboxes yesterday, how many of you saw the address on the mailbox… 5501 – giving us another 2 for that day =^_^= (2.22.22)…. … did you see it? or miss it?
Have a great day everyone! Remember life is to be lived.. be kind to yourself!!
we’ve had freezing rain, off to feed the wee ones (birds, wildlife)-yes over snow and ice. a fun drive!
LOL to all you face seekers.. how many faces looking out from the darkness of the woodlands?
Feelings
Sometimes a picture can tell a story … ever had that empty feeling…. we’ve found this wonderful photographer in the States, who has a wonderful way of taking pictures.. They have graciously given us permission to use some of the “stories” we found in our tour of the M6 site. you will see more from this artist over time.
Lately we have had a lot of “sad” experiences within our community. In some cases, we have had to bid adieu to old friends/family members, other’s in our “family” have had challenges that require a lot of “faith” and “makoto” (sincerity). In PL, our first precept is LIFE IS ART. Every day is a new beginning, a new canvas as I like to say. The picture of the mailboxes reminded me of when mail, (the written greeting) was so important, and how everyday, we watched for the mailperson… Yes there were commercial/business envelopes, flyers and advertisements, but.. that is how we kept in touch with family and friends who didn’t live near, news was always so welcome.
How many of you can remember the pleasure of finding a pretty coloured envelope in the mail. One from a pen pal, or friend/family member dropping in to recount their news. Now so many mailboxes stand empty, new technology has changed how we communicate and share. With the change my personal realization is that “feelings” that came with the written word (missive) are often missing. If the mailbox was a symbol of our heartfelt world… would yours be open, full, half full, barely used, and just possibly often empty.????
Be in tune with the feeling of others. Let’s start by trying to understands other people’s feelings.

Sometimes the simplest of tasks are the hardest of all. Can you close your eyes right now for a few seconds, smile to yourself, and say Thank YOU. Try it. Promise it won’t hurt.
Happiness
This picture was taken by a friend who wanders upper NY States taking pictures – in particular at one time he was very interested in covered bridges. He would get up VERY~ early and take off on his search, a by product would be scenes he would capture along the way. This one I found to be cheerful. with its sunny flowers - Ottawa right now is dealing with some very unpleasant “happenings”.. our weather has been up and down, cloudy skies, overcast, I went hunting for some “HAPPY”
This sign is hanging on one of my walls … I thought to share it with you today.
You are the result of your daily efforts. Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through.

Our choices are not always easy, and sometimes we have to really meditate and work at changing our mind set. Anything worth having is worth waiting for – patience … Yes.. that goes into the recipe. Prayer/meditation, patience, faith and ability to believe in ourSelves. No one can make us happy, we are the makers of our own happiness. I choose to have “HAPPY” in my life.
Friends, friends are important in our lives. Good friends, friends who can listen, and simply be there to hold your hand when it needs holding. No one can solve or make “things” better… that journey is ours and ours alone. but you can bet your sweet booty, a true friend is worth their weight in precious metals.
Tomorrow is the PL day of Appreciation (Thanksgiving) service will be at 7 pm.
Today, Sunday Service, begins at 10 a.m.
yesterday/today
Such is the way of life. Each day is a new canvas. Each day we begin a new adventure. Sometimes, we are able to simply get on with the day, and other times, we are obliged to wait or take other actions before we can begin to even start on original plans. In my case, I either have to wait for the plow to pull out the snow in the lane, or I have to shovel a path to get out of the garage with the car.. and hope the street plow hasn’t put a huge pile of snow across the end of my laneway
Help the people around you smile more. Always strive to make those around you smile. that will bring you joy too.

I could go back to bed. But… no.. that would really turn my schedule upside down. Besides I want to see and hear my birds. Guess I put on my boots/coat and head out to find the shovel.
Thursday Doors -Japan
Taken visiting Abashiri prison museum in Japan. 現在の網走刑務所で収容者が食べている食事の再現「監獄食」をいただきました。プラスチックの食器に懐かしさを感じてしまいました、、😭(元受刑者ではない)
I received a "prison meal" that reproduces the meal that the inmates are eating at the current Abashiri Prison. I felt nostalgic for the plastic tableware, 😭 (not a former prisoner) quote from Nori.

Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectfully of others opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.
