You can just see the ghost outline along the snowbank of the area where the car went up inflames. Intense heat melted metal, shattered glass etc. right into the asphalt. Serious clean up had to be done. I was on the scene the following morning, Smoke, soot, grime, and lingering odors still hung about casting a cautious lull in the woods around.
We are capable of handling whatever comes our way. Instead of asking yourself, “Can I do it?” simply tell yourself, “I’m going to do it!” Then give it your best effort.

Today being Thursday I pulled some photos of doorways that I hope will give you pause for a moment. Which way you go through the doors, will make a difference. Will you be going through them .. to go in… or to leave… Depending on how you encounter some doors, what their purpose will be to you in your life… will certainly give pause for thought.
Same applies to how we view the opportunities/challenges that come our way.
Start by doing the things you notice. it is impossible to do two things at once. Let your intuition guide you and start with what you can take on now.
This being Thursday, you can click on the above link it will take you to Dan’s No Facilities site and the post this week on doors.
The wonderful pictures showing doors in an ambience that demonstrates the thought I am presenting for you to ponder today were taken by Ian Mitchell (photographer/traveler) on one of their (family) holiday destinations.
Thank you dear friends, without you in my life… life would be so boring. I appreciate each and every one of you Near or far, you are beautiful energies. Oyashikiri
Kevin Baldelli is a nature photographer who I met several years back, who has moved from still photography to getting pictures of the animals in their natural environment. He has put together clips from his films taken in 2022. Thought you might enjoy spending some time with the animals in their habitat. This is the link to the video I’ve taken a screen shot from. https://youtu.be/cs3ZsPL6KkE
View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress. You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one, look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.

Others are others … I am I. If you force your values about anything on others, it can be self-righteous. don’t be overeager and haves a sense of “others are others. I am I”

In life we face many challenges. Yesterday I started out with my usual routine, I went into the woods to feed the birds.. enjoyed the fresh air, the time with the wildlife and headed back into the city to attend a service at church. Two of my fellow hokyoshi’s are back in Brazil for a holiday, even though I had been in on Saturday I thought to go in and make sure all was well. It was a lovely sunny day, I had time to make a stop at the Asian supermarket, so I did a quick in and out (only place I know I can get my garlic stems)… On leaving I saw the door to the Time Foot Bar was open http://www.timefootbar.ca/
Need I say more…. I went in for a reflexology session, I didn’t think much about it, I drove over to that end of the parking lot, got out, walked in, and…… the rest is history … I did not go to church … I booked a session, fell into a light sleep while there, left. came home and went to bed. Sometimes the best laid plans go awry …. the rest of the day was spent in a bit of a trance.. I had not ambition to do anything, not even watch the telly. When the body needs to relax, it reaches a point of no return… and I had hit the zone. I did go out and try to clear some more snow off the deck.. so I got more fresh air.. but then I came back in… and you guessed it… my need took me back to bed. I listened to a Simon Brett talking book and slept again.
I could beat myself up for missing church. But that is not the PL WAY. I obviously needed the “time out” … Sometimes we have to listen to our “inner voice” if we continue to force activity when we are overtired, overextended, we suffer the consequences. Be honest with yourself, when was the last time you did something called “nothing”

Do you like being on your own, can you remember when the last time was you did something for no reason at all but because you felt like it…….
Some days happen, they do… but… they don’t register…. they don’t leave an imprint or shadow on the lens of your reality.
Perception is important.Take immediate action once you suddenly perceive. You might discover something important in what you perceive.

Sometimes there is just too much happening around you. It seems like everyone needs your attention, or projects, invoices, events all come due or happen around the same time. You feel pulled in several directions at once. Stop. Listen to your inner voice. You really can only be in one place at a time, and to be fair to the moment, if you are not totally present, the incoming message won’t be received by your brain the way it could/or would be normally. You won’t have the right “picture” to peruse and consider action properly for good results.
You can apply yourself to you passions, interests, you can try to divert your mind .. but in the end.. the problem or the issue, is still there and unresolved.
Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

Strive to express yourself beautifully through your words and actions. always try to express yourself with appropriately chosen words and act according to each situation. Expressing yourself beautifully is a basic step towards making yourself and others happy.
Experience the joy of being kind to others. The joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. Always strive to be a person who can be kind to others.
Listen to others until the end. If you put your thoughts first, you will not be able to listen to others until the end, firstly listen to others to the end and understand them well.
PL Precept # 2 To live is to express One’s Self. – Each day is a new beginning.
“Is there anything I can help 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.

Doors that have an arch… Arches have been used in construction for ages.. Arches are not only beautiful but have purpose they are important in construction – today it is how they frame a door /entrance. I find them welcoming. symbolic of angel’s wing.? They embody strength and support. Did you know the arch is basically a male motif? In Mythology, it represents the door between time and space through which one passes to enter another world. The “arch” signifies the opening to new perspectives.
What do you think, if the arch is male .. is the door the female…. when you pair them…? How else does one come into this world.
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.
The moon is known to have a calming and serene presence. As we enter the new year, it is good to keep in mind that today is just the beginning. We are blessed with the opportunity to visit with the moon every night – to let the soft glow of its light bathe and heal the constant chatter/activity of the day. On nights when the moon rays shine in through the open window, curtains are pulled back so that the shimmering light will give just enough light for your eyes to gently close… and your mind rest.
Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

Use Dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement.
Have you ever found yourself in conversation with a squirrel. How they will look right back at you in pure defiance. There are a couple of the little red ones that are just a little bigger than a minute.. they are loud, noisy, have a lot to say … and are determined that if you want them to go away, they are going to show you, they are going to stay. I recognize that behaviour…. Have been known to display “some” of that annoying stubbornness myself.
Compromise makes things more complicated. if you go against your intuition and compromise because circumstances or conditions, things tend to get more complicated than they need to be. Always focus on the priorities and act accordingly.

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.
