[Laziness] No matter how hardworking you are, you can call yourself lazy if you put off doing what you have to do because it’s troublesome or put off doing what you like first. What remains after being lazy such as “later…” is a pile of difficult problems that make you mentally tired every day. Isn’t it piled up with difficult problems? Let’s make each one interesting and enjoyable. Perfect Liberty 2021.12.24 (translated in Japan to English.)
With one thought, “the world” will change, changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.
Look around, red is the prominent colour of the month. Red spiritually effects, stability, security, grounding, courage, action, physical and emotional survival. Red – physical energy, passion, courage, power, will and desire.
Red makes you feel passionate and energized its the warmest and most dynamic of the colours – it is said to trigger opposing emotions. Seeing so much red in the fashion outlets, I had a look in my wardrobe, not a red shirt, blouse, or top.. hmm actually I seem to be surrounded by shades of black, grey and earth colours.
Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things, you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more.

No red in this picture but to me it is not only spiritual , and energizing, it emotes warmth and a wonderful sense of quiet that gives me strength and an inner passion to love….

We are responsible for our choices in life. I strive for happy =^_^=… what about you…
Decembers’ full moon is commonly known as the Cold Moon – a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions that can occur at this time of the year. Full Moon was De. 18. at 11:37 pm. the last quarter will be Dec. 26 at 9:26 pm.
There is something about a winter moon that has always captured my imagination. I remember in days gone by I would meditate facing the moon, three candles lit, (3 being a magic number) and I would make 8 wishes … (8 also being a magic number) I would get a sandalwood incense from Chinatown.. don’t ask why, it just had to come from Chinatown.
On nights when the moon is nearing its fullest time and then for several days after I always feel that there is an extra energy that is making the rounds… true in other seasons, but the winter for me is the most magical of all for the moon’s mystical aura to be present. Add that the Winter solstice is happening, wow, for the sensitive, this is a “stirring” month.
Free yourself from being overly attached. Overthinking hinders ideas and actions

【Enhancing yourself】 There is no one who doesn’t want to improve himself, but surprisingly few people work harder today and tomorrow than yesterday to improve. It’s the accumulation of daily effort to improve yourself.
translated in Japan from PL lesson 2021.12.22
This is the season for all is merry and bright. I hope it is for you and yours. Not always easy, but remember there are always choices, and it is our decision what to decide/do. Happiness always, Oyashikiri.
Happiness is keeping the world of creativity and art alive!
Learning to focus on the heart of the matter. When you receive an intuition you must be able to distinguish what the heart of the matter is. When you wake up in the morning, do you feel sleepy, are you wanting to lie down again, you may even go back to sleep, which was your first intuition…
In PL we are taught PL Precept #19 – Begin once you perceive is a truth with a deep meaning behind it. Intuitions are the thoughts that unconsciously come into your mind. When you wake up it is a new day whatever inspirations you have at the start, your “new day” is the first true intuition.

Thanksgiving/Appreciation ceremony/service at 7 pm tonight 21st.
The night was clear – the darkness was inviting – there were few stars in the sky – a stillness lay over the land – she moved with slow deliberate steps, yet her feet barely touched the ground – her movements were almost invisible shadows …the moon’s sliver of silver light highlighted her graceful form as it now picked up speed…. did I imagine her… one minute she was there, and then… … the night was clear. Only a faint scent of a lingering breeze eluded to her having been.
There are days when the you know .. the night hasn’t gone away.. it is waiting in the wings.
till soon
Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development. Express your appreciation with enthusiasm.
Recently went looking for Santa, in days of “old” at this time of year, people were searching out Christmas cheer. Merchants had their shops brimming with decorations and seasonal goodies, Xmas parades were happening, social get togethers were planned, even the church basements were being decorated for members to enjoy when they gathered for coffee and cake (social hour)
In touring around, I see or saw little of this merriment that once would just have been part of the day. Yes there are homes with decorations, and some of the stores have put up holiday decorations, but I’m not feeling the vibe. “Jolly Santa” and his crew of woodland creatures and elves seem to have faded into “never never land”
Instead of the spirit of the holidays being shared and delighted in, if you turn on the radio or watch the telly, the air is blue, gray and black. Yes there are patches of magic here and there, but it is not everywhere.
A little fantasy is good for everyone.. let’s try to recapture some of the magic of the holidays, in spite of what “some’ would have us think and do.
Make Today a different day. Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.

I was delighted yesterday to meet up with Ed Hodgins, where else in the woods of course… smiles… how does that song go, “if you go out to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise”.. lol mine was meeting up with Ed who I had not seen for awhile. he was of course out taking pictures, he had his faithful camera at the ready, and a bag of “goodies” for the birds to entice the feathered beauties.
We, the “birders” who enjoyed the Evening Gros beaks last year, are waiting to see if they will return this year. I certainly hope so.. They were delightful last year. Meanwhile I asked Ed if he had any pictures of wild turkeys, and he did! (see two top pictures). Kevin bless his heart, remembered I was looking for Wild Turkeys and sent me footage from his inventory of pictures.. I get to do my turkey post!
No, I have no idea why I had this interest in the turkeys this year.. they just seemed to catch you fancy, but were always eluding me when I had my camera with me. Does anyone out there know what their vocal call is? They are always on the move like in Kevin’s picture when I see them or eating in some farmer’s field.
What is normal is different for each individual. Everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It’s important to understand others’ feelings.
Did yesterday even happen? Yes it did. Was I present for it, sort of. When I first saw this picture I was taken with what a magnificent view it offered. The water below the lush vegetation for miles around. I very much wanted to experience the walk out to the end of the look-out, of course since it is miles and miles away in another part of the world it won’t happen in this lifetime. But.. I could dream, and dream I did, I let myself imagine the air, the breeze, the smells.
Have a “Let’s do it” attitude. Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by God and accomplish it.
Perfect Liberty 2021.14
Take the first step with determination. A wishy washy attitude will not help you get a good start on things. The minute you make up your mind to do something, things will start moving forward.

I woke before 4 a.m. this morning. I let the dogs out and went back to bed but couldn’t sleep, I had on my mind something I wanted to do, and I knew that since I had an early morning appointment, what I wanted to do would not get done till much later in the day. Lying reasoning with myself it was just too early to get up, but the nagging feeling of wanting to get what I wanted done, didn’t abate .. I got up.
It has been a productive couple of hours.. it will be interesting to see how the rest of the day will be. Meanwhile, you have yourself a great day! Be productive, efficient and effective in all you do!
