Does anyone recognize this mask? What came to mind for me was a crow/raven – bird spirit? (West coast?)(totem pole)
You can only change yourself
Before you start telling people how they should do things. think of how you can be more flexible.

Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions.

Au revoir, a bientot….. till soon

Some days…. you wonder if it is all happening… or if you have been transported to another place in time. Nothing seems familiar… nothing is the same… yet… you are pretty sure, you haven’t gone anywhere.
The heat and humidity has been fierce. Don’t dare look in a mirror. Find a shady place to hide away till night comes and it will be time soon enough for another day.
Good or bad, it is your mirror
Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

When all else fails… join the chorus line and dance
Pl Precept # 1 Life is Art
Yesterday with help from the two “boyz” we got a lot done. Paul is an organizer extraordinaire … Steve has the ability to put things together, & make something work, handyman beyond compare. the two have years of experience working together… we got shelves put up, the cat walk, and a zillion other “projects” I can look around and feel a sense of having arrived. In fact, I slept in today till near 7…. me! who has been up and out of the house by 6 most days… was rather taken back when I saw the time.
Letting Go…. is so much harder than one thinks.. but I am working hard at saying, “No, I’ll pass it on!” The trick today will be getting “stuff” into the car to drop off at a “charity”.
It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyle. That’s what makes life interesting.

Friends are treasure, cherish them....
Put your heart into your words.
Do you tend too speak in just a matter-of-fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

Stop…. take a deep breath…. hold it…. let it out slowly….. did that help.. NNOO! Then do it again… close your eyes this time.. block out the world… now slowly take another deep breath… hold it… and let out a big sigh…. How was that???
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
Call internet provider… what was working the other day . is not working today. After much back and forth.. “our offices are not open at the moment, but you can go to our internet website .. log in and your problem can be quickly resolved.. supply your e-mail and we will send you a link”
Hmmmm wonder how I can do that when the internet is not working an that is why I’m calling. However talking to a mechanical robot does not get my any further, I am stumped, I go silent. After moments of silence, I hear a human voice. Relieved I explain my situation… the voice tells me to unplug the modem.. I look blankly at the screen and my cell phone.. there are a zillion wires at my feet. “which wire exactly” I ask…
“Do you know where your modem is” asks the disembodied voice. “yes” I replied “I saw the repairman install it in the closet” Then I was given further instructions to go to the box etc… and from there it only got more “challenging” With patience, and trying to find buttons where there were none… the internet is now up and running, but for how long, who knows.
What a way to start one’s day.
