Feelings

Sometimes a picture can tell a story … ever had that empty feeling…. we’ve found this wonderful photographer in the States, who has a wonderful way of taking pictures.. They have graciously given us permission to use some of the “stories” we found in our tour of the M6 site. you will see more from this artist over time.

Lately we have had a lot of “sad” experiences within our community. In some cases, we have had to bid adieu to old friends/family members, other’s in our “family” have had challenges that require a lot of “faith” and “makoto” (sincerity). In PL, our first precept is LIFE IS ART. Every day is a new beginning, a new canvas as I like to say. The picture of the mailboxes reminded me of when mail, (the written greeting) was so important, and how everyday, we watched for the mailperson… Yes there were commercial/business envelopes, flyers and advertisements, but.. that is how we kept in touch with family and friends who didn’t live near, news was always so welcome.

How many of you can remember the pleasure of finding a pretty coloured envelope in the mail. One from a pen pal, or friend/family member dropping in to recount their news. Now so many mailboxes stand empty, new technology has changed how we communicate and share. With the change my personal realization is that “feelings” that came with the written word (missive) are often missing. If the mailbox was a symbol of our heartfelt world… would yours be open, full, half full, barely used, and just possibly often empty.????

Be in tune with the feeling of others. Let’s start by trying to understands other people’s feelings.

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.

I truly believe this… it is a choice we make

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.

A community that prays together, stands together… Yesterday one of our young members had a very “bad” day. We are all praying that he will have a speedy recovery and that his family and friends feel the power of our prayers.. A heartfelt thank you to everyone yesterday for rallying around at a time when we needed to join in prayer. I will be in touch later with updates. In faith we stand….in prayer we are ONE.

Start today with a fresh outlook. Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

A reminder that in life, when we are faced with challenges that test our mortal strength/abilities… we are never alone when we “Believe” Always there is someone ready to hold/embrace/ and comfort you. Prayer has no boundaries, no physical limitations.

listening

Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity).

Love everyone – I want to be a person who can love, be kind, and forgive anyone without discrimination. When we love ourselves and everyone, “peace and welfare forever” will surely be realized.
lesson 2022.02.15 translated to English in Japan

[Fate (divine work) can be pioneered] There are joys and difficulties in life, and how you express yourself is a turning point in your destiny. If you take this from the bottom of your heart, it will be a mirror and things will get better. To open up your destiny, you have to be grateful for everything that appears before you, and do your best in prayerfully and with all your might.

a Valentine

Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectfully of others opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.

balmy >freeze

The day started out very mild, in fact balmy. When I stepped outside I could hear the ice melting, there was a gentle rain falling that was very soothing. By the time I got to the birds, you can see that the Blue Jay was wet, it was a rain mixed with fluffy snowflakes.

By the time this picture was taken we were getting ice pellets, the temperature was no longer pleasant.

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 that you can do.

The flash freeze that had been predicted had arrived. I was happy I’d started out early and that all the feeders were stocked. Nothing is a bother/problem when we are prepared.

Understanding

Thought for the day! Life is a constant rebirth – at all times there is a miracle unfolding.

Pensamento para um bom dia hoje

A vida é um constante renascer em todo momento há um milagre desabrochando.

Express yourself clearly so others can understand you – When you can’t communicate clearly, it leads to problems. Always express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstanding,

Soon the snow will go and it will be spring

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.

Being able to enjoy 4 SEASONS is a blessing…

There will always be a way. If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before.

Snow

Ottawa City plow taken from City website

You know its a good day when the snow plow is following you. =^_^= Yes, I still make the trek out to the country. Weather is not a deterrent. In fact, it makes for a new canvas and offers the opportunity of a different experience.
