Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development.
Accept everything with Appreciation.
Appreciate not just people and society, but everything that comes your way. You will experience a deeper joy in life. (PL2012.21)

*** love is unconditional ***
Put your heart into whatever you do, and you will find joy in it. If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it. (PL2012.19)
” People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” (George Bernard Shaw)

a moment in time
does it matter if we are going forward, or if it is where we’ve been
what matters is we are here now
The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face very task/moment with wholehearted enthusiasm. (PL2012.2)

In the darkness of night – when only the moon shone bright
two souls were entwined in a moment divine
the night was ablaze with twinkling stars
eternity was born
I was “home”

Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.
I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.
He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!
Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

An upside down day … we have them… this might be one of them…
for sure a cut and paste day! Oh EVE Ay!
I won’t want to, but I guess I’ll have to accept responsibility for this day!

Even the animals are feeling the heat. It has been brutal, the storm last night did little to clear the air, the heat warnings are still in effect.
“As a living person, you interact with the people and things around in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express yourself each and every day. Through your daily artistic expressions, you can create your one and only life.
If you ae ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly, going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions, you will not be able to lead a full life.
Your life is your very own unique work of art.” (PL Life is Art. members guide)

Good morning. When an animal is content…. even if he is in the way. Do we move him? or let him stay?
Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. (PL2022.6)
