When something comes to mind, do it right away. The moment that you notice something is the best time to take care of it. If you react quickly, your life will be more efficient. ( PL 2020.18 )
In Canada this is a long week-end. Gardeners are putting in their annuals and doing their “big plantings” and cottage goers .. it is traditional that most drive out to open their summer cottages. Happy Long Week-end everyone. Enjoy what ever you have on for the week-end.
Everybody has a different ways of thinking and seeing the world. People have different th oughts and different opinions. Even if someone’s point of view is different from yours, listen to what they have to say so you may learn something new.

PL Principle #7 I will not have a mind to be hasty, worry nor be pessimistic.
Be easy going and live your life cheerfully and flexibly Strong emotions can be the cause of various troubles, Always strive to have a cheerful and calm state of mind.
When you look what do you see? When you listen what do you hear?
You can learn from anyone. There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience, Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinions,

Have you been rushing around trying to get things done? Are you constantly on the go? Let’s take a moment to sit together, come on, you are at having a moment to look over incoming missives.. let’s just sit together for a moment. I’ll close my eyes, you close yours.. take a deep breath.. and just let this moment BE .. slowly exhale, and wait .. count to 10 may be even 15 till you open up your peepers again.
Big smile.. did you feel the quiet envelope you. It s a feel good moment, just for you.
Share a smile with someone today, no reason,, just because…
aren’t they cute, their lives are just beginning.
They won’t be encumbered by the constant chatter of “noise” that we humans contend with in our daily lives, but they will have their own share of “dangers” - Carry goodwill to all, in all you say and do.. always.
Worn, weathered, aging beautifully, still holding up and ready to welcome …wonder what the sound of the knocker is like. Funny I don’t recall taking this picture.. someone sent it to me? Thank you, I love it.
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. There are different points of view and ways of thinking, which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.
Yesterday I looked up as I was walking back to my car, and saw a Benedictine monk standing behind a stand of trees, I got out my camera.. I had to look a few times, but yes… I saw him standing there as clear as day. As I put the camera into a different position, and moved to get a better shot, a big white van backed up and obstructed my view. The moment had come and gone.
The photographer driving the van offered to pull out so I could get the shot but you all know, if you don’t catch it when the light is just right and you are in the one spot where the “moment” appears.. its gone, lost.
Life is a series of moments.. no more.. no less.
Move forward with confidence. Experience you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.
Thursday Door … to find a treasure of doorways from Europe taken by wandering photographer MC. (this is a barn building I see every day as I drive to and from conservation area.)
Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed, There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.
Dave Renz fills in ….(the song is Billy Joel’s Scene from an Italian Wedding)
Sometimes in life, you get a call that sets you on an adventure. You have all at one time or another heard me refer to activities in Second Life, ( virtual world created by Linden Labs, CA) There is an avatar in SL called Trowzer Boa, who performs in SL 5, 6 times a month when his RL schedule permits. There is a wealth of talent that cannot always be showcased in the virtual environment. Dave is professional musician in RL and plays in SL to entertain his followers there, and enjoy a more laid back opportunity to have fun with his music. Here he is playing at a concert in PA. called in last moment to fill in for their regular saxophonist who unfortunately could not make it.
Let’s find the joy in everything. Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.

Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto (sincerity) with presence of mind.
