Day 9 PL Calendar

It is interesting because it is different

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in a mindset. “This is the way, it has to be” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

know the ease of flight

when you believe

with all your might

that the Universe and you are ONE

Day 3, PL Calendar

Instead of worrying o something about it

It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, “what if this happens/” or “things might end up that way” Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

In life if we never attempt something new, we will never know the full extent of our capabilities. Accomplishments come in many sizes and guises. Doing is healthy, walking with intent, getting out, exploring, discovering new possibilities. It is a wonderful and amazing world we live in, human behaviour is what puts a damper on things/situations.

” I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp in focus picture of it in my head” Jack Nicklaus (golfer)

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Bom dia!!! Have a great day everyone!

Feb 28

Happy Birthday to someone special. Born on the 28th she just missed being a leap year baby. How lucky is that.

Birthdays are a celebration of life. No matter how many we have, each one marks a year of experiences and adventures. Some birthdays are stepping-stones, and others well, they require hiking boots walking sticks and determination.

I welcome every day as an opportunity for kindness.

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late” Ralph Waldo Emerson”

#30 of the PL Calendar Your surroundings are a mirror of your thoughts

When you think \”this s going to be hard” then your situation will become difficult Instead think “let’s do this!” and face your situation with determination. Then you will be surprised to se how smoothly things go.

Have a wonderful day every one! If you are celebrating today, go for it. Enjoy the day to the fullest.. That said. We should be doing our best to live every day to the fullest. Happy happy happy energy and vibes to all.

meaning – loss

2015b

What?? I don’t know, back in 2015 I saw this photo and was intrigued at what it was, what it meant, where it came from. If I found out, I didn’t record it, so in my files this is what I found, now Feb. 24. 2019

Doing a tidy up, I found a card a group of friends sent me when my husband passed away, “on the loss of your husband” Store bought, from the American Greeting co. in the States, I reread the message.

“They say life goes on just give yourself time to mourn, and accept and to heal, Though none of that offers much comfort right now with the sorrow and loss you must feel… but, there in your heart where you miss him the most where friendship and love never cease, somehow you know that he’d want nothing more than to see you find comfort and peace”

As I digested the words of sympathy my friends had sent me, my eyes fell on today’s PL calendar, for day 24

Things that happen to us all have a meaning

Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Each and every occurrence is a chance for you to improve yourself.

It is with gratitude that I start my day, and appreciation for you my friends who keep in touch, drop in, the distance, the miles, time zones, disappear, when I say I appreciate each and every one of you. I do. My heart sings with joy when you say hi… the like button, the thoughtful hellos, and cheerful input, the nudge now and then, all blessings.

“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. ” Nelson Mandela

We are all ONE with the Universe

journals 1

Good morning, Bom dia… How are you all, this lovely Friday morning. The teasing aroma of simmering pork riblets is wafting in from the other room. Ahhh another day begins.

What you see is another start-up collection of journals, I have gathered them and put them in one spot. The couple that I am currently working in, are still in my atelier. According to the Oxford dictionary (yeah hey guys, remember the dictionary, hard cover with actual pages) a journal is a newspaper or magazine dealing in a particular subject. A daily record of news and events. A diary.

Mine are mostly art journals, prior to the art journals I was having fun in “junk” journals. The art journals allow for me to play with my paints, and inks, experiment with various techniques, and truth be told, play around and have fun with medium that allows for visual expression.

new tool 2.16

This spatula is a fun tool that I found at DeSerres the other day. I have used it now in my ways, I amaze myself at how much fun I can have with one new addition to my tool box. Had it not been on sale, I would have passed it by, it had a red sticker, and I was checking out the sale items.

That happens all the time, we are so focused on looking for what we are wanting or think we want, that we will miss other gems along the way. That day I was inspired to bend down to check out items below the usual area of my search and find gaze. It is amazing what we can find or discover when we let go of “patterns” and try something different.

If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it.

Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

Bom dia, 15 Fevereiro

Happy 15th. day of February..

Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best”

Everything in this world progresses and develop. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best.

Life goes on. Small discoveries. Don’t laugh, I see this product every time I visit the Asian grocery store. When I walk by, always, someone is taking a jar. The other day, I decided to try the smallest jar. It is ridiculously good, Try something new today!!

Have a wonderful day, dearest readers and friends, and for that matter, everyone else who lands on this page. Oyashikiri

Ancestors Day

fabric friend got for her

Perfect Liberty Calendar … day 11

Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

The bright colourful fabric you see was purchased and collected by a friend of my sister’s while on a shopping outing. I never met this friend, only heard of her through my sister. I was however, really taken by her selection of fabric, the choices she made, and the colours she was drawn to. This friend passed away last week, leaving a gigantic hole in the lives of her family and friends. It was sudden, no warnings, simply a chill, and she was gone.

We never know in life when a change will be made in our circle of friends and loved ones. It happens, life is what it is.

Perfect Liberty Principle #2 – I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

a special tool box

57c7cee1a7d92af8579ff422bed20e57 In cleaning up, going through boxes, I came across a file folder from days gone by. In the file folder I had copies of a paper I had typed and copied to enclose with special little boxes I made to send to friends.

Special Tool Box, for someone important

Rubber band to remind you how wonderful a hug is, to give or receive

Tissue – to remind you to dry someone’s tears, perhaps your own, so you can see the tears of others.

Button – to remind you to “button your lips” to keep from saying mean things about others or talking when it is not appreciated.

Toothpicks – to remind you to “pick ” out the good qualities of everyone including you.

Band-aid – to remind you of healing hurt feelings, either yours or someone else’s

Candy kiss – to remind you that everyone needs a nice treat occasionally

Gold thread – to remind you that friendship is the golden thread that ties together the hearts of everyone

Eraser – to remind you that everyone makes mistakes sometimes that is all right

Lifesaver candy – to remind you to think of ne as your lifesaver, whenever you need to talk, feel free to come to me

Mint – to remind you that you are worth a MINT to me!

I can not take credit for this idea, I just remember it making the rounds at the hospital I worked at many years ago. I sat on many committees and being a teaching hospital, I also had to meet with peers in other hospitals on various matters. This little “piece” was much talked about at the time. Everyone thought it to be such a great idea. Finding it again, has brought back memories of another time and place. I also think that it very much applies to NOW. What do you think?

Happy Chinese New Year!

PL Calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting!”

Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.

“True Religion is real living, living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness an righteousness” Albert Einstein

It is very quiet all around me when there is a deep blanket of snow around every inch of ground that surrounds my home. The emergency vehicles are quiet this morning, the main roads and streets must be decent. Commuters who have deadlines must be either there or almost at their destinations.. The quiet of the moment is refreshing. Yesterday I had a sick day, my body dictated that the end of the lunar year should be one of contemplation and rest. I listened.

Today is a new beginning. In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art, I really and truly believe this, each day is a new canvas, where the possibilities are endless. For you my precious and delightful friends, readers and “family” may the Universe enrich your lives with the delight of new adventure, successful results and endless opportunities for your dreams/ wishes. And, the blessing of wisdom in the knowledge that love is with you, now and always.

Oyashikiri
