wondering

because we can’t see the ground under the ice, does that mean it isn’t there

with the ivory cover being missing, will the piano still play

will the sun ever shine again..

How authentic are we….

Life is what it is… I learned a long time ago…. even side by side looking out at the same view, no two people will ever have the same experience or see the same thing. But I learned in my lifetime, that in being true to myself, my journey is blessed… how about you?

In the silence – garden spirits (nature)keep watch…

Just because you close your eyes, the day does not disappear,,, as much as you want to believe that night won’t follow day…. or day turn to night – life is what it IS no more… no less.

Monday

Open skies, road leading to somewhere… and I’m in heaven.

I feared of never being able to take to the road again. Getting a new computer has proved to be a challenge, an opportunity if you will to practice my patience. I had reached a stage of wanting to be a turtle so I could just slip back into my shell and stay there till another season appeared on the horizon. Certainly I love the new look, I can’t say enough times, how much I didn’t like the laptop. yes it worked just fine, and yes it was technically able to do all I wanted it to do. BUT I do not like how one has to use a laptop, I never took to the keyboard and for sure I just couldn’t operate that flat thing on the keyboard, instead of a mouse.

Yes I added a remote mouse, and I had to use a blue tooth keyboard with it.. but it (laptop) was not happy, it wanted me to unplug it, so it could function without being plugged in… bottom line. I got myself a desktop!

Now I am trying to set it up.. this is a trial effort… thank you for your patience.

authentic

How authentically do you live your life.

Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement

If you only complain about something nothing will get better Look for shortcomings in your thinking to come up with creative solutions to your problems

Perfect Liberty 2016.25

Estava triste (I was unhappy) Sem sabe o que e viver (not knowing what to live for, Nao sabia mais sorrir (I knew not how to smile) Nem valia mais viver (life just wasn’t worthwhile. Sem sabe a que fazer (not knowing what I could do,) Sem saber come quem contar (Not kowing who to trust) (PL Songbook)

Happy PL song, written by Ana Maria Miranda Coelho Rios (of course the chorus is a joyful, Andei, Andei (I sought, I sought, ) e encontrei (at last I found) Oshieoya-sama (PL Founder-teachings)

Oxtail broth

How many of you have been so disappointed when buying store bought bone broth? I have been trying off and on now for a long time to satisfy my craving for a good ready made broth. What you see above is my breakfast … a bowl of steaming freshly made (overnight) oxtail soup.

Oxtails fresh from the butcher at the Asian supermarket near me

Fresh okra grown locally

fresh mushroom (big cafe ones)

slices of sweet onion/Spanish onion

cream corn (small can)(I prefer the known brands -thick creamy)

garden fresh baby potatoes (today it was red /yellow ) quartered

diced tomato, green pepper, red pepper *(Pizza topping from the fresh veggie shop near by)

seasoned with pink salt, minced and diced garlic and ginger.

The oxtail is such a rich meat, so delicious and tender, I did not add a lot of other spices I wanted the flavour of the beef.

The aroma as it simmered overnight was ..”heavenly” The taste this morning is “divine”

Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered

When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.

PL2016.22

Trust in the rhythms of life.

Oyashikiri

soup was made using my wok

why prepared pizza topping – at FarmBoy (fresh produce store) they prepare this every day for customers… and for a single person on my own, buying a whole lot of veggies means I have a lot of waste… this way the produce is freshly made every day and I don’t have an excess of veggies going to waste in my fridge.

Wontons

Freshly made wontons, brought home and made a wonderful soup. on the left, stock is being prepared with bone broth, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger, and fresh cut sweet onion, with corn cut from the cob. I used part of the wontons for lunch, then the last of the wontons I made another soup for dinner.

Wedding

Excitement abounds… happiness is in the air… joy filled balloons… there will be a wedding.

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

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

Sending love, and kindness to all.

hello there

HI. you got something for me today? These cutie pies have been visiting at P23, a friend who walks there daily got this picture of one of the little ones. I miss being out for my outings every day.. but with the moves, selling/renting etc. there has been no time.

Another journey begins.

Agora estou, percebendo a que e viver, vivo sempre a sorrir amo a vida e a voce……. (PL song book)

Now I know, realizing what life is for, I always live with a smile, life is no longer a trial (English)

Andei, andei, I sought, I sought, at last I found, e contrei…

Thursday

To do, or not to do, there is only one way!

Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

PL2012.20

This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Oyashikiri

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.

Till soon

weather

It is hot, it is humid, not a breeze to be had, it is the kind of day you want to conserve your energy. If possible it was the kind of day to stay inside and catch up on activities that will allow you to be comfortable .. I had visitors today, in both cases, they brought food…. I didn’t have to cook… it was wonderful…. I had made a soup… my Dad was very firm, when I found it hot, his remedy was a nice bowl of hot soup. That or on the odd occasion I was allowed a cup of tea. Being the eldest I was not allowed coffee, tea, sweets, etc. To this day I am grateful, I have never had a sweet tooth, or a desire to drink pop, soft drinks, or alcohol beverages. So, when I got in from getting gas and a few necessities, I made a chicken soup with pure bone broth, veggies, and beans. Old fashion remedy, but it worked, What have you been doing to cope with the heat we have had this summer

Start today with a fresh outlook

Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

PL 2022.17

Oyashikiri

tomorrow I will have been in the apartment one month – the only constant in life is change.
