Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today!
Let’s find the good in others and praise them.
All people have good qualities and bad qualities. Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.
Let’s look at and listen to others with an open mind
Your judgement becomes clouded when you look at a situation or person with preconceived notions. Observe them for what they actually are.
Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. We, each one of us, has our own unique personality and life style. Each one of us has concerns that cannot be resolved easily. Problems that may seem trivial to others may be a serious problem for you. there is always a way. Look at and listen to others with an open mind. Let’s find the good in others and praise them.

Blessings, happiness, good health and good fortune to everyone
My Porti, Canaille, she was the love of my life … my best friend, my one and only, When I saw this thanksgiving puzzle, I had to do it…
There are always special “loves” that share our “world” always do your best to treasure every moment you have with them… There is only “NOW”
Put Makoto even into small things.
Don’t let things go with “oh well” You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into all you do. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you.
A warm smile brightens everyone around you and has the power to break down barriers between people. (PL2017.13)
I am enjoying my newest discovery, doing puzzles on the computer/actually iPad. No puzzle pieces all over the table for the cat/dog to discover and want to rearrange. Just good music (I get to listen to Trow’s set from last night and simply REST/unwind) With the cooler weather slowly descending on us, are you prepared for the weeks ahead?
For me the adjustment has been the time change. Boy does it get dark early. FYI.. I am cutting back on the early morning visits to woodlands.. not sure how yet, but I am working it through. I hope to spend more time at the health club/gym during the winter weeks ahead. AND I’ve worked on improving my commitment to Self Care!!
Have any of you, had experience with Varuna Crataeva, horstail, or Lindera Aggregata?
It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.
Be free of your attachments…
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible. (PL2017.11)
seasons are changing the only constant in life is change.

*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO
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 toward accomplishing what you set out to do. (PL2014.2)
Spread your love beyond your borders, out to the entire world
Our world is overflowing with problems. Let’s pray not only for those around us, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world (PL2014.1)

This is the night, “monsters” will go door to door, trick or treating.. Somehow I think these doors won’t open to such requests. Stay safe, enjoy the celebrating …
