Wednesday

You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.

And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.

Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.

PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.

PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,

This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.

Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….

Get things started with grit

If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

Sometimes there are no explanations, life is simply what it is. No more, no less.

Put your whole heart into whatever you do, no matter when or where you are. Don’t try to cut corners or be careless about things. Be fully responsible, completing whatever you set out to do.

Tuesday

Ohhhh love is in the air, holidays are around the corner, there is an excitement in the air, shops are all a glitter with holiday lights, and decorated Christmas trees. Are you ready?

Not everyone is blessed with happiness and joy at this time, be aware of what is happening around you… share your happiness, listen with an open heart… Smile. A smile goes a long way.

Monday

Hello world….

Do you ever get overwhelmed by the constant “noise” that seems to happen all around you… Doesn’t matter the time of day/night… we are bombarded by everyday activities that are not always “restful”. We can wake up planning for an uneventful day and suddenly find ourselves immersed in someone else’s drama.

“Now” is always the start of something new.

Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Can you believe, November is almost over… the other day I noticed that the Holiday movies are back… I thought they happened only in December after the American Thanksgiving.. but, I guess not. (no.. I didn’t sit down to watch) I now put on “cat” music.. yup. YouTube has videos with audio/visual for felines.. who knew. The cats actually come by to check out the activities on the screen.

I also visited a SPIN site, Standard Poodles in Need (rescue & rehome) sssshhhhh just having a look… picked it up at the “pet” show I went to a couple of weeks ago.

Have a great Monday and start to a new week!

Alone? Lonely?

Whether in an empty apartment or on a lonely street, there are times when being alone means… we have a lot of time to think.

Be creative in your efforts

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how your tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on.

Somewhere USA

That beautiful dusting of snow… a hint of what could be in the coming days/weeks. A gentle tease for now,

Willingly take on tasks that are behind the scenes

Be the one who is able to proactively take on the troublesome tasks that no one likes and fore which they are not recognized. By dong so, you will be filled with a genuine feeling of accomplishment.

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.

Oh dear… someone said snow is coming…

Enjoy the process and savor it.

The feeling you have when you’ve seen something through to the end is awesome, but the true joy lies in the actual execution of the plan.
