Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement
If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for shortcomings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.

Finding gratitude – connect to the moment. Give voice to your needs, soak in life’s little gifts… we live in a society that obsesses over physical appearance and fitness… it is essential to confront the self critic that lives within us all.

True friendships are forever – treasure time spent with a friend, we never know what is around the corner. Life is an adventure.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

Friends can spend time in silence… just being together is what makes the moment “happen”
Actions speak louder than words.

It isn’t always important to be doing “something”
It is OK, to allow yourself to do “nothing”
Leave your cell phone in the house, or in another room, turn it off.
When was the last time you looked up and simply took in the vast blue sky, or counted the fluffy clouds drifting overhead.
PL Precept #20
Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.

There was a time when we could enjoy quiet moments of reflection, when there wasn’t an electronic device in every room. We basked in the quiet of the day, we sat outside on the porch or front stoop and enjoyed the day/night. Neighbours going for a walk, or coming home from work, going out for the evening, walking to the bus stop, the pace was slow and leisurely. And…. and…. people waved and stopped to say hi.. good evening/day….
All that has gone away. I’m told that people don’t even have time to play, they are always rushing to get something done/finished/started. Hobby, what’s that?
I have been in my new home now for just a little over a year, it has been a transition, from a house to an apartment . I am still only now realizing that I’m still “adjusting”
Its too early to really talk about it.. but I at least have now accepted that the change.. long overdo… was inevitable.
PL#16 All things progress and develop.
This is the one I’m currently working on…
PL #19 Begin once you perceive
Have a good day everyone!

came across this picture… couldn’t look away. I think the heat waves we’ve had this summer…. have influenced me. I am totally enamoured with the vibe ….
Today the 11th. is Ancestor’s Day … service is at 10:a.m.
Let’s pray for World Peace. Pray for the happiness of those around us.
Oyashikiri
Think “now is the time” Instead of “It’s no use now”… Don’t give up by thinking its too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.
Express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.

Some days come and go in a blur. With the heat wave we have been experiencing in Eastern Canada… thoughts drift to cooler times.
No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turnout. Do your best and see how it plays out.
