Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

brain drain?
Bouts of forgetfulness? You find yourself wanting to test your cognitive skills. Do you identify with articles that talk about memory issues. Do you have trouble staying focused. How do you do with retaining or learning new information/technology? Something that we are all experiencing at some level if we are now “adults”…
Every magazine has some kind of article in it that wants to educate us, on healthy habits, diet changes so that we are getting more legumes, whole grains, eat fish for more omega etc. the list goes on and on. there are articles and “people” who specialize in studying and passing on information about how to age gracefully.
A doctor once told me when I asked him the question..”am I over weight, should I be on a diet” his reply was to ask me, 1. how do you feel? do you feel good? Are you experiencing any symptoms that we need to look into? I had to think, but no I had no aches, pains, or discomfort, I was eating well, I wasn’t having headaches, my arthritis was not acting up, my diabetic numbers were good, maybe I could fall asleep faster, but in the grand scheme of things, I was in good working order. So health wise, I was fine, yes I was overweight (in my opinion) I wanted to be back at the weight I had been in my 20’s.
In his opinion, I was doing really well, my blood pressure and all the other factors he concerns himself with were good. So I was 20 pounds maybe even 25 pounds heavier .. so what, I was also older and less active than I had been in my younger years. He suggested at the time that I get out more, walk, get fresh air, spend less time worrying about my weight be thankful for my good health, and appreciate that I was healthy and able to get out and do things.. in other words.. practice a positive attitude.
I have taken to making sure I get out every day, I may miss a day here or there, but basically I go out every day and walk, or sit/commune with the wildlife in various locations… It is MY time… I allow myself the pleasure of taking in “nature”.. “seasons” “weather”… I interact with the wildlife and other people I meet along the way. I spend time in the present. Over time, being present/focused and being in the moment has become natural for me. It didn’t happen overnight, its been years in the “doing”.
I don’t worry/obsess about my estrogen levels, I don’t go looking for middle age problems, i simply enjoy whatever the day brings my way, and move on … Sometimes it works like a charm, other times I may come across a hiccup or two, but…. I know… this is now.. and it will pass. If I am tenacious about anything, it is about learning to”let go” to live my life the best way I can.. and move on. So brain drain becomes just a cute catch phrase to grab attention… did it work?
Get things started with grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it!” you will feel a power to accomplish thigs. People around you will rely on you.

confused
when i awoke I thought – where am I – who am I –
looking around, all looked somewhat familiar
clothes hung everywhere, bedding was stacked on the dresser
someone lived here
could it be me – I recognize the pictures on the wall
let me see, there are two dogs with me.
they seem to be in a deep sound sleep
if they didn’t know me, I doubt they would be in such a sound sleep
So… I guess I am where I am supposed to be
the question is, who am I
Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

Friday 21st. Thanksgiving
Be grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.
Perfect Liberty 2023.21
Thanksgiving Service – the 21st of each month – the most important service of the month. Humbly express appreciation for all the blessings of the past month and sincerely ask to be guided and protected by the grace of oyashkiri in the coming month. It is time to renew our determination to follow and practice our individual intent to “live the PL Way” (Precept # 21)

Thursday
A trip down memory lane. Back around 2012 I had the opportunity to drive down to Sharon Springs,NY. I had never been down into NY state, always my trips had been to areas in upper NY State. Being it is Thursday I thought I would share with you some of my memories of that trip. I wanted to visit the now defunct Sharon Springs Spa that had been famous world wide for its healing spring waters. I will post a collage of pictures taken during our trip there.
It was a beautiful day, so much charm and history, for us the pride of ownership shown in the houses along the streets was picture perfect.
We are blessed that we can so easily visit and enjoy the history and communities of our neighbours to the south of us. I had asked my husband to find a way for us to visit the Springs since I had read about its fame and was intrigued by its history. The spa itself was of course long gone, but the town had done its best to preserve its history.
For those of us who are photo buffs, it is always interesting to me how we are each and everyone of us, so unique in the way we capture our memories. How we visualize the moment before us. There will be many more doors for you to see and visit … simply visit the following link to Dan’s No Facilities site.. https://nofacilities.com/2023/04/20/running-around/
The past tells us a lot about how life was, across from the Wagner house was this wonderful lookout. Wagner House was on our way to Sharon Springs and Sharon NY.
Move forward with confidence Experiences you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.

Thank you for taking this trip down memory lane with me.
Wednesday
Snow is gone now but I am still lost in the void of white and blue. Must be Wednesday. Have a good day everyone!
The turning point is now. Life is a sequence of moments called now. You have the key to turn yourself around.

Sunday 16
Make the best use of materials and money. You can do different things as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.

It wasn’t that long ago that there was snow on the ground, these past few days of record breaking warm weather for this time of year has started the “spring cleaning” buzz. Trying to catch some rays on the deck the other day was great till one neighbour started to vacuum up leaves/debris from the winter, which brought on a flurry of activity from another neighbour who decided to power wash his deck. Timing right.
“If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceable with all” Romans 12:18″
Harmony does not require sameness. A single note played simultaneously thru different instruments creates beautiful music when different chords are played.
Every day holds new blessings. Oyashikiri.
Silent Friday
Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings.
