When you are not having fun, could it be because you re being lazy? Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.
If sadness and lack of hope knock I your heart – try to do something positive for someone else.

Good morning everyone! How lovely to see so many smiling faces yesterday at service. Our new Hokyoshi from Brazil, Yoshizumi Terada was our master of ceremonies, when it came time to sing, we all got to enjoy Com Quem Contar with dance movements. It was a DELIGHT. Thank you Yoshi. Another Brazilian member Kaiser Lette Bueno added his voice to the song. “Andei, Andei E encontrei Oshieoya Sama, Oshieoya Sama.
Com Quem Contar has to be the most joyful song, I love it. In English the title is Who to Trust.

Thursday doors, how much I have missed being able to participate in this series. My hankering for a door brought me to my desk to look through my photos
An open doorway to another time and place? A place tended and serene.
A romantic hide-a-way where one can laze the day away. In this one, fall is in the air, and the weather holds that rustic charm of warm colours and textured wood grains.
To so many of us, who chase the many varied and interesting doors, and doorways. They are passages to hidden or unknown “adventure” There is always a story to be found when one enters through a new door.
Garden gates are another temptation. How many of us have had wonderful conversation in a nursery or greenspace over the admiration of floral and fauna.
We need only look around at all the different ways we use and display doorways, archways, gateways. They are the subject of stories, and many are the central focus in a photo-story. To the door chaser, they are a work of art, not in themselves, but their presentation.
I know that spring is outside t.he door, but my mood this morning appears to be mellow. I am drawn to fall colours, and the charm I’ve found in my library of photos that I have collected.
Two doorways, two very different responses.
When we wake up in the morning, we get to decide which will be the doorway we will use to begin the day.
The choice is ours.

Pay Careful attention without overly straining yourself or taking things too lightly.
Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.

Happy start to another day! It is Thursday, the week has flown by. Already we are celebrating the 11th of the month. Ancestors Day.
PL calendar day 11
Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you. Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending”. Mary Robinson.
Nothing can take the place of good friends, they make you smile, save your bxtt when you think there is no end in sight and give comfort just in being who they are. I feel humbled to have such amazing friends.
When we pray for our ancestors and the people in our lives who contribute in our daily living, genuinely infuse each moment, with gratitude, giving thanks with all the makoto you can muster.

Good morning, Bom Dia – Saturday
Making your way through the maze of details that need attending after an accident of a vehicle.
Insurance, claims, adjusters, customer service, sales, research collecting data, processing data, yada yada yada.
It is not a disaster, it is an opportunity for me to review my performance abilities, and use my creativity to unravel and get through the experience, one step at a time. Most important is that I do my best to meditate on what I can do differently, or what I need to work harder on to improve my skills/tools so that it doesn’t happen again.

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his/her goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude” Thomas Jefferson
Afternoon greetings, boa tarde!
When I got up this morning, I felt rested after a good night’s sleep so I decided I would do a few errands close to home. I knew or should I say hoped that I would hear from the adjustor or the dealer about my car. At nine I prepared to leave expecting to be back in a couple of hours tops.
The day was clear, a little overcast, and not too cold. As I prepared to leave, I decided to change my footwear, from sturdy walking shoes to my gum boots. ??? why I had no idea, since I had no plans to be out of the city. But.. went with my instinct and put on my Bogs. They are comfortable after all.
All good plans and planning were for naught. Circumstances were such that instead of coming home, the adjustor called me, when I was less than 10 minutes from my street. The towing company would not release my car without my authorization. Even though I had given them that previously, it was not enough, they wanted me to sign a release form because I had personal items in my car.
The pound as they call it, was WAY out. Not a little out, but a long way out. When I finally got there, it was all mud, not just a little mud, but deep rutted thick squishy wet mud that sucked anything that dared enter the grounds. YAY THANK YOU GOD!!! I was wearing my boots.
In PL we are reminded over and over, to trust in that inner voice, The Universe works in special ways. I drove home with gratitude and appreciation that with time my faith has devloped and I believe.. PL Precept # 11 Always be with God,
Yes it was a frustrating at times, but I did it, I got what was needed done. Thank you thank you thank you, to all of you who care and watch out for me. I appreciate you all.

Success doesn’t just happen It is not just by coincidence that things go well. The results are based on the hard work you have put in up until that moment. Remember to be thankful and use your current success to reach the next level.
