Saturday

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (turkey vulture soaring gracefully across the sky)

Basic Description (alicia ambers/Macaulay Library)

If you’ve gone looking for raptors on a clear day, your heart has probably leaped at the sight of a large, soaring bird in the distance– perhaps an eagle or osprey. But if it’s soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it’s likely a Turkey Vulture. These birds ride thermals in the sky and use their keen sense of smell to find fresh carcasses. They are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads.

I am guilty of enjoying watching these birds soar across the sky .. for some reason, I just love the way they ride what to me is invisible, but … to them… its freedom. They are graceful in the air. (to me anyway)

We all have our own way of seeing the world. One of the reasons I take to the open road when I need to unwind, is in hopes of catching a vulture in flight. I am in a metal box on wheels, comfortable it may be… I simply can’t launch myself into the air and fly.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

In French there is an expression, (to each his own)… what do you do to unwind?

Is there anyone else out there who loves watching the vulture fly?

Have a good day today!

love

Good morning dear friends … of late you may have noticed that there is a huge posting of new sounds/music that are Ai generated. This one I have added here is one that if you listen to it will show you how it is very different from songs we have been bombarded with over the last few decades.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FTBejXsiS5I

The words are meaningful and speak of love and sentiment that many of us feel and live day to day, but never speak out loud.

Songs like this are being viewed and liked by not a few hundred but thousands of listeners.

There has to be a reason, yes? that these songs are being embraced by so many viewers/listeners …

Please … take time to listen to your friends/family/coworkers… and very important, listen to yourself.. take care of YOU.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Have a good day … you are special appreciated and loved.

Friday

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.

waiting

Every morning, these two sit at the “window” and wait to see what will flit or pop up … there are birds of all shape and sizes… squirrels that come running up to grab a peanut… there are a ton of specialty programs put together for cats/dogs …. and they like to review them all. Who knew, they actually watch the telly more than I do. I might average a couple of times a month… they expect access every day. When a mouse scampers past or comes out of a hole… it’s an event.

Now with the sun streaming in through the patio doors they have taken to maintaining a watch from that vantage point too, I realize that the whole apartment is actually bathed in sunshine for most of the day, In June I will have been here a year… Has it made a difference … yes… I’m still working out just how much, but for sure, it has changed a”lot”, some changes are more subtle than others.

It is like .. one shoe fell, now I’m waiting to see if the other one falls and if it will match the one that has already fallen.

This is a good one for me today!!!

Let’s have a humble mind

Once you think, “That’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.

Express straight away once you’ve found it..”Great”

Proactively express about others goodness. It feels great to be told so, even about things you already know.

Live today filled with enthusiasm.

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.
