Be careful not to lean towards only what you like
Live a life of balance; don’t just do the things you like to do, or are good at, or already know how to do. (PL2017.19)
I would like to give a shout out to employees who work in Asian grocery stores — I am a shopper who cannot read a lot of the packaging. Many of the employees are not fluent in English… yet they go out of their way to ensure you have a positive shopping experience. The other day as I was topping up on my Starbucks bottled coffee (from the cooler) the young man stocking the cooler next to me… leaned over and said “please wait if you can, on sale soon for good price” Did I appreciate his help.. you bet.. it was 8.99 a bottle and when they put it on sale it goes to 6.89..
Have a good day everyone!

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. (PL2017.12)

Monday
It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.
Be free of your attachments…
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible. (PL2017.11)

*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO

With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do.
Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something. With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights. (PL2014.7)

On my wish list of things to do, was to visit Oomomo (Japan Living) in the Markham area of Toronto. I can now cross this item off my “TO DO” list . Since my last visit to Japan, where I frequented the Daiso store there … I wanted to once again, wander the aisle and be back in that wonderful store. It was a good feeling to know that I had accomplished one of my “want to do” items. I was tired, yes, and it was challenging to me at times, but, I did it!!!!
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation.
Always remember that you are here today thanks to “Universe” and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude. (PL2014.6)
Mid week! -kick up and have a great day!

Don’t hesitate to show kindness to others
Do you ever find yourself hesitating to show kindness to someone? It is when you put your thoughts into action that you can show others what is in your heart (PL2014.31)
This is the night, “monsters” will go door to door, trick or treating.. Somehow I think these doors won’t open to such requests. Stay safe, enjoy the celebrating …

You gain strength through your hardships
Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength. (PL2014.29)

This is the happy picture that greeted me this morning. My sister out on her evening walk, came across this delightful scene. I just love October, it seems to bring out the light hearted fun in sharing. Neighbours decorate their homes.. streets come alive with creative decorations.. love the smiles!
Let’s find the joy in everything.
