Because

Because

Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it

It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative

Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….

Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.

and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…

Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.

Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)

“Now” is always the start of something new. Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress. (PL2014.24)

All that we are is a result of what we have thought. – Buddha

Enjoy your day everyone! Smile, This is your day!

Good morning… hello… bonjour… bom dia …

Remember this picture from yesterday? How many of you saw the bird?

The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important, but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face every task with wholehearted enthusiasm. _(PL2012.2)

In the darkness of night – when only the moon shone bright

two souls were entwined in a moment divine

the night was ablaze with twinkling stars

eternity was born

I was “home”

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

Pl Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.

I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.

He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!

Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

open spaces – quiet places

the moment you realize

because words are spoken

does not make it real

actions speak louder than words

Kuei ( hexagram 38) I Ching

This is a time when you may meet with dualism in your own nature.

This sense of wholeness in a world of contradiction can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind

PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

Pl Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.

People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness. (PL2023.6)

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

It’s easy to place the blame on others and society for the problems you encounter in life. But you are the one with the power to change the outcome. (PL2019.28)

Breathe life into things and money.

The value of things and money is revealed when they are utilized as material to express yourself. Express your full Makoto (sincere effort) when using them (2014.20)

Loved this creative way of showcasing what was.. Touring along a dusty country road, where there was a lot lush vegetation, It was a refreshing sight to find an old barn that was being used as a backdrop for old pieces of rusting metal farm equipment and an old bike.

There is an implement on the bottom row that reminds me of the ice “tongs” used to grab big chunks of ice stored in “ice” barns.. in the days before refrigerators. Does seeing these old pieces remind you of another place and time? I see there is a bigger one upper left. I love rusted metals, can anyone shed light on some of the history showcased here?

Have a great start to your week!

You grow by overcoming the obstacle in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation. (PL2014.9)

With the heat of these past weeks, and the high humidity, I realized I had to take steps to make changes. I used to attend a Health Club “gym” on a regular basis, going 4, 5 even 7 times a week. It was a quiet place, where I could get in my walking, some biking, light weights etc. and even rowing in. Then my husband got sick and that fell by the wayside. I last attended in 2017, this week I signed up again, and will slowly adjust my daily routine to include time at Movati. There have been changes .. the quiet mat to do stretching has been moved to another area, its a big place,, you can google it if you are interested. I wandered yesterday and found nooks I can have quiet moments in, The fireman ropes are now in a strength training (heavy work out) area where I can access them easily. It should be good for me, I want to make sure I still get my 2 miles in a day.

The mosquitos and biting insects have worn me down, I need to move on.

How about you, has the season so far been good for you. ? . We all need to make the time to reflect on how we are doing/coping, There is so much turmoil and negative energy around these days.

Have a good day everyone!
