Today is Thanksgiving, in PL. The 21st of every month, service is at 10 a.m. Please if you can’t join us in person…. take a few moments around that time, to close your eyes for a few seconds/minutes and simply say a silent Thank You for your many blessings in life. It is a day of sincere appreciation.

Bleak overcast, dull skies, off and on rain, eventually one has to say enough is enough. I find I’m not interested in the many dramas, cheating, killings, negative presentations on the telly. So I took to the internet and found myself a colourful landscape with little critters wandering around. Flowers in bloom everywhere.. little birds flying from branch to branch. Much more relaxing.
My avatar who worked this photo opportunity was happy to get her hair redone, new outfit to wear… all in all a productive few hours.
How about you, I’ve been catching up on my reading, I’m blessed with fabulous bloggers who live all over the world and share stories of life in their part of the Universe with colourful photos and brilliant writing. Due to my recent medical “issue” I’ve gotten way behind in my admin part of my “writing”… However, I have been reading and enjoying.. forgive my lack of immediate response.
Lately I have been totally captured by an Ai. artist who is producing and putting out Soul Blues .. he/she is all over FB and Instagram. I have mixed feelings about how fast Ai is appearing everywhere in my world. Just seems impossible to avoid it. I will leave a sample of his work at the end of this post.
Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

Yup.. there are days when all we want to do is hibernate, distance ourselves from activity, from media, negative news/attitudes… it happens.
Its’ OK. It really is. We don’t always need to interact and be present for others.. sometimes.. we have to take time.. make time.. for ourselves and what matters to us.

Another day beings
A season ends
Spring season will bring new possibilities
There will be new trails, and roads to travel
This moment will never come again, don’t squander it.

Sometimes we have to make decisions that we would rather not make. We put off doing something because it is not a easy decision to make. We think about what is bothering us, we dissect it, we review all the options, we consider the number of years we have been involved with the people/organization that is part of the equation. In the end, we have to gather all the pertinent information and review it carefully.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,
PL 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.
I have been very upset about something that is happening in an environment that I am involved with/in. So upset that I realized that I was not only upset, I was/ am feeling used. In reviewing the circumstances, I didn’t feel that I was personally being abused or mistreated by the situation, but never the less the “anger” in me was/is very real…. so saying, I decided that to make a proper decision, I needed to confront, and be honest and open about my feelings and why I was /or am ready to disassociate myself with the situation.
PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
So I have made arrangements to listen to the “other side” with an open mind…. and then from there I will review my “headspace” again.
Meanwhile I am taking a step back, and will listen to the silence for awhile.
How is your day ? I wish for you a happy and positive week-end.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking
Look and listening carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings

A wooly face that always makes me smile.
Everything that happens to you is material for growth.
Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

Ok.. yes you’ve seen this message before… did you listen… did you consider the message?
Have you slowed down the pace of your life? I just received a very interesting video .. these days I can’t always tell if its Ai or ? because it has information that many will find useful, I’m leaving a link to it at the end of this post. Its about being an older “person”, this video is by a woman and aimed at women, but the message is important to everyone. We are all on the path that leads to “aging”.
Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves
Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.

Have a prayerful mind to love yourself and others.
Open up your heart fully when praying to God. It will help you sort out your feelings.

Living with cats has been a new adventure for me. Even tho’ I had cats for years in a bygone day… the most recent companions over the many years (more recently) were canine. Big difference. The cats and I have had to adjust … them to an eccentric eclectic human (they were rescues) and I… well… good thing they are patient..
Tomorrow we start another month. It is also the 1st, there will be a 10 a.m. service at church.. See you there if you can make it.
