Experience the joy of change
It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today compared to yesterday, and realize how much you have improved and changed.

Sunday
It was Q’s rez day yesterday (birthday)… I got the notice and realized that I had totally forgotten. I made time to go in to SL (Second Life) (virtual platform) to spend some time with her. Wow she first appeared in my life in 2007.. She was an adventure into a virtual world, there were a lot of lessons to learn. I had to learn to walk, sit, build, communicate with others. Basically exist in/on a virtual platform… I did it … over the years I have progressed and managed to move around and adjust to the many changes one faces in a virtual environment. Photography of course is one of my greatest loves and challenges. I have over 6000 photos on flickr documenting the many changes over the years. I am definitely someone who has learned to live conducting and using my creativity as an avatar to navigate part of my life. The big buzz these days is Ai … which has filtered into “today” world in/on all platforms.
Listening to my lessons, studies, I am getting to know just how much Ai is out there. My visits to the woodlands are more frequent with the changing of the weather, There is something very humbling about being a human standing alone in the middle of acres of land … where a young moose can wander past, or the a call of a patrolling wolf warning you of his/her presence…. joins the chatter of the critters coming to greet you … looking for the treats you’ve brought for them to enjoy. I am finding a balance… outdoors with nature, and indoors with a computerized world…. both take the need to be “present” as an important factor in balancing one’s waking hours.
You will notice that while Q was out, she saw a lot of Christmas decorations in shops she visited.. So yes, Xmas has arrived in her “personal” space. I noted looking out my window last night, that there was a fully decorated tree, with lovely lights on the balcony across the courtyard. Might be time I changed my fall bouquet (on my patio) to something more Xmasy…I won’t want to be out there trying to do something when the weather changes and we are in a full blown “winter” season.
Today’s calendar
Avoid being careless or overconfident
Even though you may have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made some mistakes, that is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.

Happy Sunday everyone,

Q isn’t one who smiles much (like me) but she is happy and content in her world…. (like me) =^_^= contentment is a beautiful state of BEING.

Yesterday was a busy day, yet very tiring…. seems everyone around me is dealing with something, ie. runny nose, cough, chills, the drop in temperature, and the bit of snow we got, seems to have put everyone in a, “let’s go back to bed” mood.
While exploring I found a build that was set in an environment of swirling water incased by walls that let the open skies in and protected from elements. It was the sound of rushing water cascading and tumbling over the rocks, creating such a thundering and rumbling sound that it was musical, I found it was actually soothing. I actually sat on a bench and just let the sounds engulf my senses…. I relaxed… forgot about wanting to explore … and made time to just sit and listen. (will give LM below)
. In PL we celebrate Ancestors’ Day .. every 11th of the month. Service will be at 10:a.m. please if you cannot attend in person, join us for a few silent moments around 10:- 10:15 a.m. In Canada today is also Remembrance Day , in the States I think its called Veterans Day. It is time to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and those who have come before us.
Live today to the fullest
You are here today thanks to your ancestors’ virtue and Makoto (sincere effort). Remember to be thankful and live your life to the fullest so that you can pass this virtue on to the next generation.

That beautiful dusting of snow… a hint of what could be in the coming days/weeks. A gentle tease for now,
Willingly take on tasks that are behind the scenes
Be the one who is able to proactively take on the troublesome tasks that no one likes and fore which they are not recognized. By dong so, you will be filled with a genuine feeling of accomplishment.

Oh dear… someone said snow is coming…
Enjoy the process and savor it.
The feeling you have when you’ve seen something through to the end is awesome, but the true joy lies in the actual execution of the plan.

Good relationships begin by greeting each other.
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

Do you ever feel like you are speaking to the wind? Are you tired of explaining and trying to get someone/or others to understand something that is important to you, but…. nothing,…. you are left with the frustration of realizing that something that matters to you… is just that… YOUR “problem”
Then the questions becomes, is it really a problem.
Sometimes, there is nothing to do but sit back… take a deep breath…. and let your thoughts… settle into a quiet space… so you can contemplate and look at your “problem(s) in a way that allows you to perhaps see them in a different light.
Sometimes doing something you enjoy, something relaxing, somewhere without a lot of distractions.. will help you to think and see things in a different light.
Always express your true self with honesty and integrity.
We feel a deep sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.

Life is not always a walk in the park, or moments filled with joy … but the moments that perplex and frustrate will pass… they always do.

I’d like to thank everyone who has been visiting this blog… I have been remiss in acknowledging new members… no excuse except that I have for some reason been hit with a lot of unexpected “this and that” moments that have left me “tired and in some ways very unproductive”.. Please know that I appreciate each and everyone of you… and keep you all in my prayers.
Have a great start to your week, whatever you are up to.
Smile
Boo night
Pumpkins bump in the night – who will ring your doorbell tonight… have you prepared for the ghosts and goblins that will roam the streets tonight… moaning and groaning the vampires and zombies will stumble and grumble under the moonlight … while witches and elves will sneak up and thrill on your screams of fright.
In most towns and cities in the North American hemisphere there will be weird and wonderful hauntings happening … this will be a week-end of parties and fun,, Whatever you get up to, enjoy!
Don’t hesitate to show kindness to others.
Do you ever find yourself hesitating to show kindness to someone? It is when you put your thoughts into action that you can show other what is in your heart.
