Passing through the mist. The surrounding landscapes take on a quiet mysterious mantle that softly engulfs all your senses. You are enraptured, totally captured in the moment.
Always think that everything will work out
When you allow yourself to be pessimistic, your thoughts and actions become sluggish. Approach everything optimistically without hesitating..

Thank you everyone for your wellness wishes. It was a few rough days… but hey! it was then, today is today… we move on Cancelling all my appointments for the week… that in itself was an eye opener. I am supposed to be retired, why am I so busy… at one time I could turn to my p.a. and ask “why do I have meetings every day”.. why do I have to attend… bla bla bla… NOW I see… I am to blame… I do it to myself, AAAGGGHHH
They don’t look like rabbits do they… I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough, this big gray/brown streak of fluff went bouncing past me too quickly … all I could see was this fur ball jumping across my sight path.. into the woods off to the right of where I was standing. What struck me was its lovely colours blended into its off white coat and big feet. I did do google search to see if I saw anything similar .. but
The other sound overhead was the sound of the geese flying back, not happy with the weather they’ve run into… but they do carry on. It was raining when I was out a grizzle that was not sure if it wanted to crystalize or vaporize. Today being the first of April I’ll hope for a nice spring day, This is the colour I see in the spring/summer.. (internet)
Today, church service is at 10 a.m. Day of Peace ceremony,
World peace starts from peace at home.
Your life is a part of the bigger world beyond you. Start with your surroundings and spread peace to the world around you.
It is important to take time for relaxation, to just be able to sit back and share time with a friend that doesn’t involve going somewhere, doing something where there are tons of people and a lot of ‘busy” activities. No deadline, no need to be any place special, just time to chill and catch up ..
Be easy going and live your life cheerfully and flexibly.
Strong emotions can be the cause of various troubles. Always strive to have a cheerful and calm state of mind.
My two handsome brutes are back… they are out for a morning stroll, looking to see who else is around. I was overjoyed when we met up. They remembered me and came to say hello.. ask me if I was “over the moon”.
My other wonderful find this week was a surprise I got when I went into the ladies at the church. Yoshiko was in Japan recently to bring Zak, Ashley and Alex to Canada ( their school break) so they could see first hand where their parents are living .. not much of winter left, but they did get to see snow.. you can see it is still around here.
Ta Da!!!! a toilet seat cover.. ingenious… seems they use them in Japan, not because of the cold, but the heat!!!!! Who knew!
Life is full of wonderful moments. Isn’t it.
A friend took me around to show me his creative endeavours, he is a huge Prince fan, he has built a museum, nightclub and picture gallery in Second Life to showcase the artists work. This has been done over the years, and introduced me to a singer I knew little of. Artists who work with the software and technology of the gaming world add a whole new dimension to the every day world ..
A thankful heart leads to happiness
When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for; the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

I would like to say Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart to all who have written me over the years telling me how much you enjoy this blog and the philosophy shared. The other day I found a section in the format that had stored many many wonderful comments and feedback that for whatever reason, I did not see, or even know were there. I responded . finally.. some were over a year plus old. I apologize.
Welcome another day. The path to achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. this will pave the way for achievement.
Spring is in the air, the red wing blackbird was amongst the breakfast crowd yesterday morning, as well as the very vocal pileated woodpecker.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.
Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.
We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders, and the work of our predecessors. Above all kindness for others is the best way to give back.
PengLai is a fairyland above the clouds, where you can see ancient Chinese art, culture, architecture, furniture, paintings, and decorations. Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and music.
I started my day with a journey inworld (Second Life) where I could take in the ancient wonder of old China, and do my meditation in the clouds.
Live expressing your own unique self in your day to day life.
We each are given our own duties and roles in life. Take the time to find what makes you unique, and you will be able to live your life expressing your own individual beauty.
