Sharing with makoto (sincerity)
Think ” now is the time” instead of “It’s no use now” Don’t give up thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

Mindfulness is a journey. be patient and self compassionate.
It is important to let go of self judgement and practice going with the flow.. When we begin practicing “being aware” we can get caught up in “doing it right”… it is only when we let go of actually trying to do it right… and let the experience be based on … letting go… that we begin to notice the mind begin to slow down and “settle”. Notice and observe! we are strengthening our minds.
You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task. With a can do attitude you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration.

Being Present
I met this photographer some time back, even before I saw his website and his Instagram, I was impressed with his focus and attention to detail. He could look up into the tree tops and point out the birds looking back at us. I actually didn’t even notice him at first, he had been standing a few feet away from me … just observing waiting … I was at the feeders.. tending the birds.
Over time I got to see him often enough that we got to speak to one another. He shared some of his pictures and I was an immediate fan. The other day I found him (minus zero weather) on the ground along a country side road in much the same position as you see him above, but waiting for the robins and their friends to return to a small puddle of open water to drink and bathe. His patience and attention to the moment is so keen.. I am always reminded when I meet up with him.. that I need to slow down and take in the moment, I will only get one chance at it.
Take action without thinking too hard. No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turn out. Do your best and see how it plays out..

Today is a day for me to stand back, take a deep breath, allow the moment and the environment to happen, to still the hurry, the bustle and the noise created by others to influence my “quiet’…

When you look at this adorable young bird, it is hard to remember it is a bird of prey. Looks can be deceiving.
People who don’t reflect]
Translated in Japan 2022.03.02 to English
People who don’t reflect on themselves always believe that what they do is right. Even if you fail, you blame others. It’s an inevitable ending after repeated failures. A man who always prays to God and never forgets to rely on God is a man who learns a lot from deep reflection and always moves forward even if he fails.
Yesterday after the Day of Peace service/ceremony, we talked about the word “humble” the definition, what does it mean to you? I asked myself, am I humble, do I actually know what the word means…??? Is this a quality /characteristic that is still part of my/our makeup???
We certainly need these days to do a lot of reflection on… the qualities in life that will help us to regain, less negativity and more love and understanding of all the many challenges and differences we encounter in our day to day. It is easy to speak of love, it is sometimes a challenge to “act” in a caring respectful manner..
Day of Peace
Be a messenger of Peace. Always think “for the sake of others and society” and express yourself for the happiness of all people.

It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. if you are stuck in your own ways, you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we an from the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.

Have a peanut!
Sometimes in life, this is what happens when we least expect it to.. Other times, we know that there is the possibility that with weather conditions, the driving could get dicey. Still if we need to get things done, then we have to do our best to handle whatever comes our way, with careful attention and not only observe what is happening around us, but stay focused on the task at hand.
Multitasking reduces your joy by half. When doing something give it your all. There is joy in everything.

Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

In the shelter of the trees, the critters and I rather enjoyed the quiet of the woodlands, the crows, ravens and blue jays were not happy with something going on down the trail, they were squawking and aggressively ganging up on???? I didn’t go and see, there were so many of them having a shouting match … I stayed put where I was. Eventually it quieted down, and we simply went back to doing whatever we were into doing. The forest floor began to hum with the activities of the smaller critters, and I went on my way. That is when I discovered the snow was falling heavier and the winds had picked up.
being objective…
When you get stuck, take a step back. When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

How many times have I gotten up, read the lesson of the day, taken it in and moved on with my day… its not till later in the day that the morning lesson steeps in, and I have a light bulb moment. So often in these times, we are multi-tasking, running from one ‘thing to do” to another… let’s remember to take that moment in the day to reflect on “are you being kind to yourself!!”
Remember the mailboxes yesterday, how many of you saw the address on the mailbox… 5501 – giving us another 2 for that day =^_^= (2.22.22)…. … did you see it? or miss it?
Have a great day everyone! Remember life is to be lived.. be kind to yourself!!
we’ve had freezing rain, off to feed the wee ones (birds, wildlife)-yes over snow and ice. a fun drive!
LOL to all you face seekers.. how many faces looking out from the darkness of the woodlands?
Happiness
This picture was taken by a friend who wanders upper NY States taking pictures – in particular at one time he was very interested in covered bridges. He would get up VERY~ early and take off on his search, a by product would be scenes he would capture along the way. This one I found to be cheerful. with its sunny flowers - Ottawa right now is dealing with some very unpleasant “happenings”.. our weather has been up and down, cloudy skies, overcast, I went hunting for some “HAPPY”
This sign is hanging on one of my walls … I thought to share it with you today.
You are the result of your daily efforts. Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through.

Our choices are not always easy, and sometimes we have to really meditate and work at changing our mind set. Anything worth having is worth waiting for – patience … Yes.. that goes into the recipe. Prayer/meditation, patience, faith and ability to believe in ourSelves. No one can make us happy, we are the makers of our own happiness. I choose to have “HAPPY” in my life.
Friends, friends are important in our lives. Good friends, friends who can listen, and simply be there to hold your hand when it needs holding. No one can solve or make “things” better… that journey is ours and ours alone. but you can bet your sweet booty, a true friend is worth their weight in precious metals.
Tomorrow is the PL day of Appreciation (Thanksgiving) service will be at 7 pm.
Today, Sunday Service, begins at 10 a.m.
