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)

Call a cab… …. remember when…

I am so thankful to have lived the life I lived. Most of all I’m grateful for the experiences I have faced, the opportunities and the challenges. All of it. It made me who I am today. My world is filled with love and sunshine, and I appreciate that my now is filled with contentment and quiet joy.

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is.(PL2014.5)

“now”

Put all your effort into the “now”. You can only do your absolute best right this moment, not in the past, not in the future, but now. _(PL2018.27)

A mustard seed is a very small seed, that when planted it becomes a tree producing millions of mustard seeds. It doesn’t “think” “Oh, I’m really a tree, and I know I can be one, ” Once planted – if properly nurtured, it will just do it. When we believe and have faith that everything will turn out all right, it will be as it should be. The moment is fine, just as it is. whatever that may be.

PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop.

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.

Looks innocent enough. It is actually beautiful and inviting. However what you don’t see the vicious insect population that is just lying in wait for the delicious taste human flesh and the intoxicating blood that they can feed on. The extreme weather we have been having, very hot, humid and sometimes very wet weather, has been a challenge if you go out into the woods on a regular basis.

Even layered in clothes and wearing hat with netting, you are not safe, they find a way to get at you I had hoped to avoid chemical sprays/lotions and such, but … the itching, swelling welts mean having to take an antihistamine .. so either way, I have to use a pharmaceutical product. There is the option that I can stay a prisoner in my home.. not go out till the biting insect season lets up.. But .. then I miss being outdoors where I can enjoy the wildlife etc. … Choices, eh!

Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto(sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do. (PL 2014.2)

Common sense.. but a reminder anyway, there are public washrooms in the way of small stand alone huts. At this time of year, be careful, you are exposing sensitive areas of your body . .. the ninja biters attack .. Use with caution. Just saying.
