Beauty can be found anywhere, at any time.
Love is everywhere, we need only be open to the positive energy that surrounds us.
We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important, your effort is what is truly Precious. (PL2021.13)

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)

I want this moment back. But I can’t have it. Live each moment to the fullest, we can never get them back. Not a day goes by that I don’t ache with a memory of time shared with this bundle of loving energy. We think we have lots of time to do things, or call and touch base with someone.. The truth is, we only have NOW. don’t squander it with trying to change what is… Accept that today is another day, and live it the best you can.
With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do. With a humble mind, take a second look. Even when you have put your best effort into something, there may be something you overlooked. (PL2014.7)

Isn’t this the sweetest face.. loves his peanuts.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested. When ever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance, Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion. (PL2014.17)

As summer brings longer days, the night invites dreams with poignant moments and poetic prose. memories, longing / desire whisper through dreams of yesteryear… that only you can hear.
A moment it time, can seem a lifetime. Being mindful means means you can decide how to make it a positive experience.. only you can decide how to live it.
Put all your effort into the “now”. You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not the past, not in the future, but now. (PL2018.27)

Hello… remember me.. I am here even tho’ I’ve been boarded up … I can still see you as you pass me by… no longer interested in how I’m doing … I miss the sunny smiles, and the cheerful greetings of passersby … It isn’t my fault that fate happened, and I was made redundant.. .. I do smile as you walk by and hope you will feel the cheerful greeting I send you..
Everyone is in such a rush today, always in a hurry, or looking at some object in their hand… I once had flower beds under me, I could watch as each planting grew each year from budding babies to beautiful petals in such an array of delightful colours. Visitors would stop to admire the flowers and always there would be a smile my way .. Alas that was another day,
As we age, we do see and live through changes, Some changes are life changing, and there is no going back. The reality is.. there IS NO GOING BACK… we can revisit the place, but not the time.
Don’t be swayed by the past: It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look toward the future and start with a fresh outlook. (PL2015.9)

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up”, but that is the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.
nugget… for seeing the birds, the earlier you journey out into the woods, the more likely you will find “activity”… we’ve all heard the expression.. “it is the early bird that catches the worm”
Yes, the fruit trees are flowering, and so is the magnolia. AND the mosquitoes are starting to be active. bring out the repellent, check what is left from last year does it need replacing? Thank you for your kindness and support. Little steps…
Who knew! yesterday I heard a Cackling Goose, hmmm looked to me like the Canada Goose, but no… I eventually had time to look it up, Sorry I had to take a screen shot during a video to get this shot to share with you. It was migrating !!! and I got to hear it. Now I’m wondering if that is the bird I’m seeing with the Sand Crane some mornings.
Again I’m remined one should not take it for granted when we see a bird at a distance that it is not be dismissed as just another XYZ. I’m relatively new to the world of birds.. it is an adventure in learning.
I have been watching the growth of a red trillium… such a little beauty, I didn’t get to see one last year.. and this year it is my first find.
PL Precept # 16 all things Progress and Develop
Everything that happens to you is material for growth. Approach everything with a firm belief that, “It will turn out for the best” Anything can be used as material for progress and development, PL 2015.4
Every key plays a different note,.. assembled together played in different formats, they produce sounds that can be melodic .. it matters where they are played and how they are put together. In life, at one time or another, you will land on different keys. Each landing will produce a different sound, and reaction from you. In some there will be harmony, in others. . . you will draw on your creativity to get past the experience… In PL.. the first precept is Life is Art.
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. PL 2022.10
Q? When you are about to eat, you pick up your utensil, and take a bite… do you finish the first bite before starting on the second?
Do you take time to masticate and thoroughly enjoy each bite?
Highs and Lows, Sharp and Flats.. All part of having an interesting day!
Tomorrow the 21st. (Thanksgiving/Day of Appreciation) there will be two services, one at 10 a.m. and the other at 7 pm.
When you face difficulties start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something you can do,
Perfect Liberty 2022.12
Sometimes in life we have to step back, and let the world stand still .. allow new possibilities to present themselves.
