Today is day for some quiet reflection. I scrolled thru some of my pictures .. taking trips down memory lane. Found some doors I’d like to revisit.
Then I found the “thought for the day” that I’d like to use today…(is the Universe sending me a message here)
Leave the past in the past, and live fully in the now
Stop living in the past. You can only focus on things that are happening right now in front of you.

re: changing of the computers from laptop to desktop ..I am thrilled to be back using a desk top, I had to practice patience, and depend on the goodwill of friends who helped me out on this project. I am happy to report that as of this moment, I have three working monitors and seem to be able to access programs and files that I think I want. “jai guru dev,
Excitement abounds… happiness is in the air… joy filled balloons… there will be a wedding.
If you are going to do it, put your whole heat into it
Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.
Sending love, and kindness to all.

LOL it does look slanted, but when I go and look at it … it looks fine, could have been the angle when I took it… anyway, the minerals are safe away from furry paws.
The Brats play cowboys or space cadets not sure, all I know is at some time in the wee hours they go into frisky mode and use the bed as a trampoline to dive over to the bureau where their cat tower is. Thankfully I’m in a dead sleep.. and barely wake now that I know what is happening, The first night or two.. it was a bit un-nerving
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something,
The joy your feel when you’ve put your all into something its yours alone, Nobody can take that away from you,

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.
PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop
The biggie for my start of the day…

I live on an island where my front door opens to this view. I can spend hours watching the water swirl and listen to its song as it makes its way around the rocks. I can even watch the sky as it turns from dawn to dusk…. It is true I can’t get to it every day, but it never leaves my heart or my thoughts. We live alone on this island, there are neighbours on other islands, but we are fortunate in that, living in different time zones, we are seldom on our properties at the same time. This is the beauty of living in a virtual world (smile)
By now, you have if you are a regular to this blog, have read I am moving and have seen the story I shared with you the other day about the “Little House” https://youtu.be/F74CR1uqXFA?si=M4Fxvkml523xj3Al I have heard back from a few of you who took the time to watch the YouTube version of Virginia Lee Burton’s .The Little House. thank you,, I appreciate that you took the time to view it.. it tells the story of what I am living in a very poignant way.
For days now I have been going through photos, correspondence etc that accumulates when you have lived in one house for over 25 years. The faces of friends now long gone, or living in “space and time”. It had been tedious and long.. my hands ache at night from the constant pulling, and tearing of papers for recycling. But … in all the frustrations and challenges, I have found happy moments seeing the faces of people I once worked with, and shared special adventures with.
I am tossing a lot of “stuff” out.. a lot of what can be recycled will go to charities. Leaving 3 levels of living space, to go to a 1.5. apartment is certainly going to be a new adventure. The hardest is knowing that my gardens the green space I have surrounded myself with, will be no more. The animals that alive here …(Outside) will have to find another oasis. There is no doubt that my little house will be razzed to the ground, and with it the vegetation that has sheltered us for years will disappear.
You have all heard me say this before… life is to be lived and enjoyed, don’t squander your moments …. embrace life…. appreciate your friends…. and protect nature as best you can. Reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in awhile.. smile at a stranger… life is precious.
This was taken by my Dad who was an avid photographer, he took the pictures and developed them himself. And it was a time when we could enjoy country sides like this on a hike not far from our home. You guessed right if you thought, not so now…
View your Difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress

I see I had a typo I missed, a memory from 2008 how basic and different the technology was.. The avatars today look so different, yet back then, the one you see above was thought to me so advanced compared to earlier ones. Life is just a parade of changes.
The weather forecast is for gray, cloudy and cool days even into the week-end. Let’s hope that changes..
Today’s PL message…
Value those who are nearest to you.
It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your partner/spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.
The PL newsletter is out, if you are not on the mailing list, please let Rev. Hiroko know. It will include the calendar of events and special services.
