Be creative in your efforts

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on. (PL2014.16)

I realized this morning that yesterday I travelled through two provinces and followed along the St. Lawrence River and part of the American shoreline… the weather was amazing, ambiance and landscapes were picture perfect…. and I didn’t take one picture. Not one. Never even occurred to me I was so in the moment. Lost in the beauty of NOW.

Happy start to a new week everyone.

Remember how you felt in the beginning.

Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh. (PL2015.14)

Bom dia, how are you today. It’s Thursday (quinta-feira)… Today’s quote is from the 2021 PL Calendar. Not having an English calendar this year (from headquarters in Japan) has been very worthwhile. I have had to resort to perusing all previous years from my files to use PL motivational quotes to share with you each day. it’s been a positive experience.

Let’s being today with a smile, Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover. (PL2021.12)

There is something about buildings that were built in years gone by…especially the old wooden structures.. and the old churches. I have a lot of infill builds happening in my neighbourhood. Somehow they lack the warmth and character of “older” builds. Those of us who have been taking pictures of buildings/doors/windows… architecture in general… our “vaults” are full of “historical” visions of the past.

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. (PL2023.4)

Friendships are personal treasures.

Friday

Drove to Montreal yesterday, this is the vista that greeted me along most of the highway along the 40 corridor. Especially as I got closer to the border. The cool snap we’ve been having is affecting the vegetation. Going to be a magnificent display over the next weeks or so. Time to go exploring!

Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serve to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself. (PL2015.30)

Driving along the highway, a route that had been so familiar to me a few years back. I realized how long it had been since I had let the miles roll past me .. heading out of the city… on a day of exploration. Alone with my thoughts, I found that my mind wanted to be where it was content. It was actually a very nice feeling to realize that I was feeling happy and positive… true… I could still feel that I was wanting to “get somewhere” when really I had no where I needed to be. at least not right away.

We come from NO where, drive into NOW here…. only to head back to where we started, NO Where … It is all about spacing.

I used to drive and formulate or work out my “projects” practice my “talks” “presentations” alone in the car I can even sing off key. But yesterday was a day for silence and letting my thoughts wander to happy feelings where emotions and intimacies featured in the “interesting” reels that played out against the backdrop of the burgeoning fall colours. The outing reminded me.. slowing down, is important,, there is no need to always “have” to “get things done” at top speed.

I attended a podcast by a Rabbi yesterday… when we step outside our comfort zones, we can discover and learn a lot about a subject we think we already “know about”.

I also learned that one needs to clean the straw being used to drink ice coffee… yuck accumulates .. ugh. I did /do have special brushes to do so.. I just wasn’t doing it!!!

Tuesday

Stop Hesitating

It is more natural for you to be direct and say what is on your mind. Holding back or hesitating is unnecessary (PL2017.27)

The other day on my drive home I saw more than one tree starting to already display fall colours. A sign of what is to come. Fall in this part of Canada is a cornucopia of colour, weather turns a brisk fresh air, with early morning snaps of very cool air that warms to a balmy energizing sun filled day leading into enjoyable star filled nights. Each day is a work of art.
