Bom dia

There are some memories that will never leave us. We are reminded many times a day/night what a joy that “energy” brought to our lives.

When we have the opportunity in life to share time and space with an energy force that loves unconditionally – we hopefully will learn to echo that characteristic and live learning to practice love and kindness in our daily lives.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity.

PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

When all around, the energy around you is one of discontent, unhappiness and negativity. It’s time to seriously think of moving. Change is the only constant in life.

Happiness is getting one more project done. Needed to top up the inventory of cards that the church supplies a couple of “places” in the city. Having just moved, could I find some of my supplies.. of course not… Being a long time card maker and multi media expressionist, I have gotten used to using the quality of inks etc. from Art Supply stores. When I came to use inks.. guess what I couldn’t find. I decided to try a package of inks offered for children’s activities. Hello World! they worked just fine for the cards..

The other challenge I’ve been given is a new parking spot …Suffice to say the jury is still out if I can maneuver the car into the sardine space. There is a difference of 80$ a month. Psst .. send encouragement !!!!!

Today is a brand new day!

If you think, “its just another day,” your life will simply be stagnant and unchanging. You are in fact given this unique day unlike any other, so live it to the fullest.

PL2017.3

Seize the day! Enjoy the delight of exploring possibilities.

The dragon roars – and all around the town his meaning is clear – stop the infernal negativity – start looking around and find the joy and sunshine. Stop chasing tomorrow or dwelling on what was, this is NOW – open your eyes to what IS –

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

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.

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.

Today the 21st. we celebrate Thanksgiving (Day of Appreciation) service at 10a.m. Japanese Curry on rice after!!

Let’s all take a moment to say thank you… for all the blessings in our life.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let’s live with gratitude toward everyone and everything all day today.

If you can’t make the day service, we have one at 7 pm,

Thank you Yoshiko, wontons were amazing!
