We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious.

Fact

fact. when you wake up at 7 a.m. – you’ve missed your 6 a.m. appointment

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,

Thank you again and again…. It feels great if someone tells you “Thank You”, even many times. By repeating this, become a person who comes up with the words “Thank You” naturally.

Thursday Door … to find a treasure of doorways from Europe taken by wandering photographer MC. (this is a barn building I see every day as I drive to and from conservation area.)

Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed, There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.

Dark>light

Day follows night. Seasons change. Fall is slowly creeping in, the colours are beginning to emerge, the darkness when I wake at 5 is always something I have to get used to, During the longer days when there is light… I feel so much peppier. If one can be peppy at 5 a.m. The colours tho’ when I drive along to the conservation area are magnificent. Every day there is a new discovery. Truly … you can drive by in one direction and be totally taken in by the scene before you… then coming back with the sun higher and coming from behind you, it is another vista altogether. Nothing can compare to the showcase Nature provides us with when we take the time to look and enjoy,

“The best timing is when you notice ” PL calendar 2022.5

“Is there anything I can help you with?” Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others.

Horses

I have missed my horse buddies, they are always out in the pasture when I drive by, but have been missing over the summer. I have not seen the owner or I would enquire. They were always so friendly. I recall one year they left over summer and were back in the fall, I’ll be watching for them. Strange how even tho’ I’ve never met them up close and personal, I miss them.. They have been part of my journey now for almost 4 years plus. Every morning I would greet them from my car as I passed to and from my destination.

Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

Interesting, I hadn’t read the calendar before I started my piece.. hmmm. Another week everyone! Start out with a smile… have a great productive day!

Thursday

MC found this door on her travels. I loved the charm of its simplicity, It seems to stand there and say, I’m here, enter if you must. I’ve done my best to give you access, but the joys lie within, IF you gain entrance. Functional and proud. A no nonsense door, solid to the core. the touch of green .. is a seed that took root and was not to be deterred. Personality plus don’t you think!!! Even the steps make a statement.

“Your surroundings are a mirror of your thoughts. When you think “This is 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 see how smoothly things go.”

“2 monks were walking along the bank of a swift river. There they met a young woman w ho could not cross alone. One of the monks picked up the young woman and carried her across the river to the other side.

Sometime much later, the other monk said to his companion, “did you forget that it is against the rules to touch a woman?” Have you forgotten the vows you have taken?”

The other monk answered, “Brother , I eft the young woman on the bank of the river once we crossed. Why are you still carrying her in your mind?” (The Irish get up and go diary 2019)

Top of the morning friends..

Prayer

Praying before taking action changes outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

Perfect Liberty 2022.27

Put Makoto even into small things. Don’t let things go with “oh well”. You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into your actions

Perfect Liberty 2023 27

In Perfect Liberty we believe in prayer (positive thinking/meditation) whatever the definition is to you, it is when we take time to be present in our world, and focus with full intent on what it is we are thinking of at that moment in time.

On the 21st we hold special service with a ceremony that expresses our gratitude and appreciation. It is a time where we focus on the physical and mental sufferings of not only PL members but of society/friends family/and everyone who needs that extra layer of love/healing in their lives.

The 21st is set aside for a service of appreciation, however, prayer for others and healing and loving energy is something that is needed 24 hours a day ..every day.. When I am asked for prayer I gladly add time in my daily meditations to include those who need a helping hand. I know many of you share my “way” and believe in the power of prayer.

Please today, add a universal prayer for the sick and lonely, this is a season of change, many won’t ask for help, but they are struggling. When I was younger, I would see people on the bus as we travelled towards our destinations, make a small cross on their forehead (with thumb)when we passed a cemetery or church. I took that in, liked it, I like the respect that it showed and adopted it in “my thinking/beliefs” A small gesture but it meant a lot to me.

When we believe we express our appreciation for blessings we have received.. Let’s pass it on.

The parking lot was empty, I was alone there, but in reality I was not.. the woods were teeming with life, and behind me eating in the feeding area, were over a dozen wild turkeys, half a dozen blue jays, mourning doves, chickadees, nuthatch, chipmunks and squirrels, and my ever present raven was carrying on with his daily bulletin on life as he sees it. Cuz you don’t see something… doesn’t mean that. that is what IS!

Hello!

A gift (picture) from a friend who was travelling. A picture can tell a story, and this one was especially vocal, can you just imagine the joy at finding this inviting swing to sit and enjoy a quiet moment in time while you are wandering and exploring. Many of you are writers … does this scene not conjure up a couple of story lines … It is romantic and mysterious at the same time. Share your thoughts if you find it twigs an idea. I know she was travelling somewhere in Europe, for sure I get an old time vibe. Can’t wait to get time with her to hear about her adventure.

Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the World. Be one of those who makes more smiles.

well! hello there

This little gal has been popping over in the mornings for treats. At first she was the only one that graced the dining area… now.. I’ve noticed she has male suitors? or friends who are also joining her at the feeders. AND I’m happy to report .. the chickadees are coming around, I’ve seen them now at both P22 and P23. Last fall/winter they were not around too much. I’m hoping that with the change in menu they might show up more regularly,

Contentment

Contentment, is when you feel a peace that is filled with joy, happiness and a bliss that is beyond words … it can last a moment … it can be a second of awareness … … … when it visits … … you know the experience is to savor.

Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement
