Did someone say “long week-end”?
….. Let’s start by enjoying this moment, right now… I closed my eyes and felt the sunshine… it is streaming through the patio window. Must be time to “catch some rays”
Time to go out to the woods and “play”
Enjoy whatever it is you plan to do today..

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive.
“Summer is over ” I heard the grumble .. I wasn’t trying to hear, but the other visitors nearby were unhappy at the prospect of a summer shower.
True the forecast was for off and on “sun showers” till later in the day, with the threat of a thunderstorm during the supper hour. But with the weather .. there are no guarantees.
Yet the group of sun “bathers” were so wrapped up in what MAY be going to happen, they were not appreciating the warm sun drenched moment… NOW.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
There was a sprinkle of drops, maybe for all of 3 minutes.. and it was over… People quickly packed up and moved on… I stayed .. enjoying an afternoon of refreshing moments with a sun that was warm and welcoming.
Summer is wrapping up, but there are a zillion astonishing moments ahead. Fall Baby! is just around the corner!!!!

There are days when we feel lost and alone
Days when you wander from chore to chore,
wondering if there is anything anywhere that will lighten the load
There MUST be more…..
That is when you realize you are not alone…..
Can you see???
In PL. PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

on my flickr, I posted the same picture with a different lighting if you can’t make out the background.. might help…. (wicked gleam and laugh)
Today and everyday – Believe in yourSelf.
When you look in a mirror.. take a good look at the “person” looking back at you. A few times now I’ve not really recognized the woman who gives me a startled look, when I glance her in passing by the bathroom mirror that I can’t ignore.
From a closet size bathroom (in my previous home) to the ballroom size one I have now… it has been an adjustment. I think that in the past, I seldom if ever really looked at or in a mirror unless I wanted to check something…ie. my hair before leaving the house…. even then, it has not been a priority.
My sister and I have had belly laugh chuckles.. because we’ve ( I won’t say which of us) has arrived at a choir practice to have a choir mate quietly give us a whisper… )
Yesterday I woke to a sound of continuous knocking on my door, I was horrified to find out that it was after nine, I am usually up and out of the door by 7:00-7:30 ………. do you know what I did? Something I’ve never done ..ever. I answered the door and promptly went back to bed. AND … I gave myself permission to stay in and not go out at all .. all day!!!! in fact, except to get up to eat and check my messages.. I spent most of the day.. “in bed”. Dearest friends .. that was a first…. not because I didn’t feel well, or ached anywhere, no.. I simply wanted to sleep.. so I did. Wow.. is this a sign of “maturity”…
Can it be true.. I actually had a day of doing “nothing” except what I felt like doing…….Wow.. double wowzoooooh earth shattering isn’t it.

Experience the joy of change
It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today, compared to yesterday, and realize who much you have improved or changed.
PL Precept #16 All this progress and develop

Young or old, we should never stop moving, sharing, laughing, exploring, discovering and expressing our individuality. Life is to be lived.
Don’t let someone else, or some”thing” , rain on your parade.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point
Some days are better than others. However, every day you are part of is a special day. Welcome each new day, there are opportunities around every corner. We need only be open to the “adventure”
Whether you are staying close to home or going on an errand, the world around you is forever changing. No two days are alike.
No matter the venue, the music will still wrap itself around you and whisk you away on a musical odyssey. Seasons come and go… life keeps happening… so why not enjoy it.
PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
Music is everywhere, find what you enjoy… make time for YOU.
Oyashikiri
Think “now is the time” Instead of “It’s no use now”… Don’t give up by thinking its too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.
Express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.

Some days come and go in a blur. With the heat wave we have been experiencing in Eastern Canada… thoughts drift to cooler times.
No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turnout. Do your best and see how it plays out.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes
Put aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.
