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.

Dancing allowing the music to flow in and around you… letting your body move to the natural rhythms so you harmonize with the world around you is a wonderful way to “let go” of body stress. Q
Time for pumpkin pies, ginger breads, when we walk by a bakery the spicey aromas are so inviting. Yesterday I met a man who was gathering heaps of decorations, he has a discarded Xmas tree, he is going to put it up on his front lawn decorated with Halloween and fall decor. Yup, its time for the corn brooms to be taken out and prepared for moonlight flights…
I feel the energy in the shops… in a few places even the Xmas decor is making an appearance.
Today’s calendar
You’re happy, I’m happy
Have the mindset of “good for you, good for me” Express yourself in a way that makes others happy.
Past, Present or Future, always remember to be sincere and honest
At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status.
The woodland creatures are waking up, the fresh invigorating breezes are ruffling the colourful leaves, you can feel the crispness creeping in… the skies are a brilliant blue, with startling white clouds lazily floating and drifting… creating delightful panoramas. Drives along open roads with farmlands sprawling on either side of the road, interspersed with woodlands that are waving a multitude of bright red and zesty yellow and oranges are beckoning, The world is a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour.
If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful
Cheerful and happy people naturally attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude.
Dreamed of being in outer space, and what it would be like if you could snap your fingers and be somewhere else. These days of interworld travel (via internet) we can be anywhere, and in any period of time. the other day I was in outer space on a floating inter galactic space pad. Last night I was in 1890 Colorado, the old west.. with circus clowns, tents and side shows.
Ok not the same as being stuck in rush hour traffic on the trans whatever highway in modern times. going 20-30 mph in a 100 mph lane.
Still wherever you are, or whoever you are with, time travel hasn’t arrived yet, But we can dream … stuck in traffic we can listen to music, chat with a friend (hands free)………… but ……………… do you take time from whatever you are doing, or need to do…………. to just sit quietly and RELAX with no radio/TV/computer/cell phone? Do you find time to build inner strength, appreciate friendships, sooth mounting stress?
I found a video the other day on YouTube that is just a picture of a fire burning in a fireplace… and… the only sound is that of the wood crackling in the fire. Awwwwww so so relaxing. No hauling of the wood, or having to go find firewood….. then tend it.. all I had to do was sit, close my eyes and enjoy the moment. What a delight….
Do everything with a prayerful mind.
Even if you have done your very best, there are times when you wonder if it is enough. That is when your prayers become most important.

These words of wisdom have a message for me… I am a do it now person, I have always been like that, this morning has found me dragging out my medical books and researching and refreshing my “tired’ gray cells on my actions of the past few days.
I woke to the searing discomfort of the neuropathy symptoms all clamoring to express and shout their discontent at having to share my limbs with each other. Nerves screamed, and went into an unwelcome screaming fit. I could barely manage to balance as I made my way to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. I will not bore you with medical terms, the long and short of it was my muscles cramped and toes jerked up in protest… I have learned to quiet the mind and try to still the mounting urgency to rectify the physical reaction that happens when the the tendons and other fellow body parts go into their trauma mode.
I had a small amount of success with calming the body by using a cream infused with magnesium. I had done it faithfully for weeks, and I was having night after night with no symptoms… I got lazy, or forgetful, and took to reclaiming activities/tasks that needed to be done. but I did it all at once, I threw out my support pillow (for under the legs) and then didn’t follow through and get to the store to replace it. That meant I had to use a substitute knee pillow that was not the same angle/depth and composition of what my legs were used to.. I went out the next day and got the correct pillow, but meanwhile, the legs started to grumble…
AND that didn’t trigger or jog my gray cells to remind me to use the magnesium cream after my shower. I allowed myself to be distracted and and and.. I didn’t do it when the thought came to mind, I put it off and of course, it got lost.. I didn’t do it at all.
This morning my body told me in no uncertain terms… “it was not happy” and I had to deal with the fall out.
No its not just the magnesium, there are of course other factors.. but all could have been better planned and executed. … “do it now” when you can, if something comes to mind, and it is something that has shown to be helpful, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING…or not doing… and act accordingly.
Our bodies are our life long companions… we should not take them for granted.
Have a good day everyone…

just because – I bought an exercise stretch band ( the idea was a good one) , help with exercising the arms/shoulders… a good stretch… did I use it.. no it hangs on the back of the door. because I searched it out, found it, brought it home.. if I don’t use it… it is not helping me… right? Right !!!!
Just because – I studied and researched .. gathered info. sought solutions.. if I don’t apply them .. I am not being proactive to my well being… right? right!!!!
Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job
Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses. Continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.

“wander quietly through and along the path.. let the day surround you with the tranquil energy of nature’s embrace.” Q
Wow,,… I got the most amazing rush when I had my first taste of these battered lotus root (frozen ready to eat after cooking)… if you can find them, give them a try, I got these from an Asian grocery store… (I cooked them up in my air fryer)(8 min)
Bom dia.. how are you today! I woke to another sunny beautiful day. In our area, the leaves have already started to change colour..
In another couple of weeks, the world will be a kaleidoscope of colour
Strive to live with a positive outlook everyday
Put your whole heart into whatever you do. With motivation you will feel joy and excitement.

Driving towards Montreal today, the colours should be a m a z i n g ….. skies are crystal blue,
Instead of candles on a cake, after all this time, a bonfire I thought would be more appropriate. Thank you everyone for your wishes… September is a month of celebration for sure … I think this is the first year in a very very long time I have actually worked.. September was a month of travelling, and exploring. ahhh but.. you have all heard me say, time and time again… Every day is a new beginning.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Life is what we make it. I am very blessed to be able to say that in life, I have lived many journeys, travelled many miles, and known and experienced many wonderful and amazing moments that will live in my heart forever.
In PL we believe that everything happen for a reason, we may not at the time recognize or appreciate the lesson(s) we are learning… but
PL Precept # 16 All things Progress and Develop
PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point
Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective
The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.
