a little hide-a-way
tucked far away
a distance from any super highway
an idyllic get-a-way
where I watch the sheep rest & play
and lazily let the days
drift from April to May.
I am sooooo ready.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity.

Sometimes we have to make decisions that we would rather not make. We put off doing something because it is not a easy decision to make. We think about what is bothering us, we dissect it, we review all the options, we consider the number of years we have been involved with the people/organization that is part of the equation. In the end, we have to gather all the pertinent information and review it carefully.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
I have been very upset about something that is happening in an environment that I am involved with/in. So upset that I realized that I was not only upset, I was/ am feeling used. In reviewing the circumstances, I didn’t feel that I was personally being abused or mistreated by the situation, but never the less the “anger” in me was/is very real…. so saying, I decided that to make a proper decision, I needed to confront, and be honest and open about my feelings and why I was /or am ready to disassociate myself with the situation.
PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
So I have made arrangements to listen to the “other side” with an open mind…. and then from there I will review my “headspace” again.
Meanwhile I am taking a step back, and will listen to the silence for awhile.
How is your day ? I wish for you a happy and positive week-end.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking
Look and listening carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings

A minute of thought – is worth more than an hour of talk
Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward.

Ok.. yes you’ve seen this message before… did you listen… did you consider the message?
Have you slowed down the pace of your life? I just received a very interesting video .. these days I can’t always tell if its Ai or ? because it has information that many will find useful, I’m leaving a link to it at the end of this post. Its about being an older “person”, this video is by a woman and aimed at women, but the message is important to everyone. We are all on the path that leads to “aging”.
Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves
Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.

Living with cats has been a new adventure for me. Even tho’ I had cats for years in a bygone day… the most recent companions over the many years (more recently) were canine. Big difference. The cats and I have had to adjust … them to an eccentric eclectic human (they were rescues) and I… well… good thing they are patient..
Tomorrow we start another month. It is also the 1st, there will be a 10 a.m. service at church.. See you there if you can make it.

Every morning, these two sit at the “window” and wait to see what will flit or pop up … there are birds of all shape and sizes… squirrels that come running up to grab a peanut… there are a ton of specialty programs put together for cats/dogs …. and they like to review them all. Who knew, they actually watch the telly more than I do. I might average a couple of times a month… they expect access every day. When a mouse scampers past or comes out of a hole… it’s an event.
Now with the sun streaming in through the patio doors they have taken to maintaining a watch from that vantage point too, I realize that the whole apartment is actually bathed in sunshine for most of the day, In June I will have been here a year… Has it made a difference … yes… I’m still working out just how much, but for sure, it has changed a”lot”, some changes are more subtle than others.
It is like .. one shoe fell, now I’m waiting to see if the other one falls and if it will match the one that has already fallen.
This is a good one for me today!!!
Let’s have a humble mind
Once you think, “That’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.
