Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
Thank you again and again…. It feels great if someone tells you “Thank You”, even many times. By repeating this, become a person who comes up with the words “Thank You” naturally.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (note the turkeys are watching their backs!!!)
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve been blessed with so many wonderful people in my life. Some I see sometimes, others I may not see often, but always, there is communication of some kind. Alan Watts (Alan Watts was an orator and philosopher of the 20th century. He spent time reflecting on Personal Identity and Higher Consciousness.) believed, we were all One, and friends were an extension of ourselves.
In PL, one of our Precepts is… All is a mirror…. Precept #15
After spending time with a number of friends yesterday, I went to bed feeling elated and pleased. So many different personalities, yet, every single one I visited with, spoke to, spent time with, gave me pleasure by being who they are.. I felt very blessed to have shared time with them. It was like receiving a bouquet of flowers, Each flower, leaf, stem unique… together they were a beautiful vision, and then when you look at each one, you saw/see another kind of beauty .. no one flower was the same, each had /has a personality of his/her own.
Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness,

I had to reread this quote a few times to have it sink in, Does it resonate with you?
“let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover,” PL 2021. 12
Well done is better, than well said.
Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed, There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.

Day follows night. Seasons change. Fall is slowly creeping in, the colours are beginning to emerge, the darkness when I wake at 5 is always something I have to get used to, During the longer days when there is light… I feel so much peppier. If one can be peppy at 5 a.m. The colours tho’ when I drive along to the conservation area are magnificent. Every day there is a new discovery. Truly … you can drive by in one direction and be totally taken in by the scene before you… then coming back with the sun higher and coming from behind you, it is another vista altogether. Nothing can compare to the showcase Nature provides us with when we take the time to look and enjoy,
“The best timing is when you notice ” PL calendar 2022.5
“Is there anything I can help you 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.

Time to harvest and gather in the supplies. The cooler weather is on its way, some mornings there is a nip in the air. The little ones are not wasting any time gathering when I put out the feed. The woodland floor becomes alive with little chipmunks and squirrels. The chipmunks are little darlings, they can stuff a peanut on either side of their mouth and still get a third one in before they scamper off to fill their larder.
Depending on where you are, there are areas where the colours are so vibrant they scream out , daring you not to notice, while other areas are still slow to change.
Today being the first of the month, in PL, we celebrate with a special ceremony. We pray for World Peace. Service will be at 10 a,m EST. If you are unable to make it to the church, please take a moment in quiet prayer/contemplation, to remember to practice being a peaceful human being in our/your own world which includes home, school, work and community,
Let’s pray for world peace. The path to world peace will open up with each person’s prayer for peace.

Special prayers this morning for the people struggling in NY city who have had to and are dealing with the rain that fell yesterday, It was a moment in time that wreaked a lot of havoc.

Praying before taking action changes outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

Put Makoto even into small things. Don’t let things go with “oh well”. You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into your actions

In Perfect Liberty we believe in prayer (positive thinking/meditation) whatever the definition is to you, it is when we take time to be present in our world, and focus with full intent on what it is we are thinking of at that moment in time.
On the 21st we hold special service with a ceremony that expresses our gratitude and appreciation. It is a time where we focus on the physical and mental sufferings of not only PL members but of society/friends family/and everyone who needs that extra layer of love/healing in their lives.
The 21st is set aside for a service of appreciation, however, prayer for others and healing and loving energy is something that is needed 24 hours a day ..every day.. When I am asked for prayer I gladly add time in my daily meditations to include those who need a helping hand. I know many of you share my “way” and believe in the power of prayer.
Please today, add a universal prayer for the sick and lonely, this is a season of change, many won’t ask for help, but they are struggling. When I was younger, I would see people on the bus as we travelled towards our destinations, make a small cross on their forehead (with thumb)when we passed a cemetery or church. I took that in, liked it, I like the respect that it showed and adopted it in “my thinking/beliefs” A small gesture but it meant a lot to me.
When we believe we express our appreciation for blessings we have received.. Let’s pass it on.
The parking lot was empty, I was alone there, but in reality I was not.. the woods were teeming with life, and behind me eating in the feeding area, were over a dozen wild turkeys, half a dozen blue jays, mourning doves, chickadees, nuthatch, chipmunks and squirrels, and my ever present raven was carrying on with his daily bulletin on life as he sees it. Cuz you don’t see something… doesn’t mean that. that is what IS!

A gift (picture) from a friend who was travelling. A picture can tell a story, and this one was especially vocal, can you just imagine the joy at finding this inviting swing to sit and enjoy a quiet moment in time while you are wandering and exploring. Many of you are writers … does this scene not conjure up a couple of story lines … It is romantic and mysterious at the same time. Share your thoughts if you find it twigs an idea. I know she was travelling somewhere in Europe, for sure I get an old time vibe. Can’t wait to get time with her to hear about her adventure.
Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the World. Be one of those who makes more smiles.

Sometimes in life, you get a call that sets you on an adventure. You have all at one time or another heard me refer to activities in Second Life, ( virtual world created by Linden Labs, CA) There is an avatar in SL called Trowzer Boa, who performs in SL 5, 6 times a month when his RL schedule permits. There is a wealth of talent that cannot always be showcased in the virtual environment. Dave is professional musician in RL and plays in SL to entertain his followers there, and enjoy a more laid back opportunity to have fun with his music. Here he is playing at a concert in PA. called in last moment to fill in for their regular saxophonist who unfortunately could not make it.
Let’s find the joy in everything. Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.

Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto (sincerity) with presence of mind.

Have a great week everyone, there is nothing you can’t do if you really set your mind to it.
