It is no joke. The nasty germs are running wild. Time to stay in…. steam the room… drink lots of fluids, and stay warm, Thought I was doing so much better… Mother Nature, had different ideas… She has made it clear I’m not out of the woods. I have to stay quiet, and stay warm. I did forgo a much anticipated evening out Xmas eve.. BUT it wasn’t enough.. seems I have to lie low for a little longer. How are you doing? You managed to stay healthy ???
Make today a memorable day
Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature
PL2022.26
Today is just another moment in time.. Tomorrow is another day.
Snow covers the ground a beautiful blanket of white. Holiday music is heard every where we go. You ready for the season of holiday cheer and festive gatherings? Not to be a wet blanket, but it isn’t a holiday for everyone, please be aware of the hardships others may be facing.
Sincere condolences and prayers go out to the families that are facing the loss of a family member… or having to spend time in the health care facilities who are open 24/7. The support workers who work holiday and shifts, who can’t just stop what they are doing to celebrate. Hats off to the work crews who no matter what the day, night … if the weather decides to play havoc with travel, they are out working to keep our roads safe. Its not a party for everyone…
Work happily with good rhythm
If you take on your tasks willingly, you will enjoy the task and you may even be rewarded with a more positive outcome.
You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.
And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.
Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.
PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.
PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,
This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.
Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….

Pretty sight to come home to. Freezer door had somehow opened, when bottom door of refrigerator in morning was closed. AND it wasn’t noticed till I came home to find… yes.. a mess.
When you have lemons, you make lemonade – I cleaned and cooked what i could save and packaged the rest to be thrown out. What a mess. No I don’t drink lemonade… but, I have lots of cooked chicken, oysters, , shrimp, lobster, clams, etc. ready to eat, sigh,,, I am thankful that I was able to simply tackle the mess and deal with it., took several hours, but it got done.
The Universe must have been watching… I was nudged to go looking for containers to restock the freezer in a more orderly fashion… and I had come home with containers .. with the intent of take everything out of the freezer and restock it using the containers. Well imagine my horror and surprise when I came home and found the pool of water, ice (green) on the floor. a bag of spinach has leaked it was everywhere.
So dear readers, I’m sorry if I didn’t get to reply individually to your kind likes and comments.. I was busy being domestic, and as you all know.. that is NOT my “strong suit” The crows will get a feast this morning, they’ll be happy,
Today’s quote..
