Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes
Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but, that’s the time for you t dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

Work well with everyone regardless of their age or position
The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solutions, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders.

Good Morning everyone…
The picture above, was taken by local nature photographer Dan Cadieux, https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography I have known Dan now for many years, we run into each other in/on the nature trails in the area. He knows of my love and friendship with crows. He shared this picture with me, that he took a few years back. It was taken on a day when the temperatures were just above zero degrees, it was a fall morning, the wasps were semi-dormant…. his patience and quiet determination got him this great photo… Isn’t it fabulous. If you love nature, and like pictures that show case the nature around us, please give Dan’s photo gallery a look. He has a unique way of presenting his finds….. I’ve seen him lying in the mud on the side of the road * camera focused on a puddle where robins are bathing for hours if need be to get just the picture he wants… thanks Dan for sharing your amazing talent with us….

The everyday things you do will show when it really counts
If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.

I am revamping one of my characters for a short story I’m doing.. When doing her face. I used a skin from a designer I don’t often use… I was getting ready to make changes when it struck me that the face looked very familiar to me. I know I’ve seen it many times but I can’t place the series she was on. So I left her face the way it was… and I’m building her character around the persona I’m getting from her. If by chance her appearance rings a bell .. could you let me know.. please. and thank you.
Now for today’s quote.
It is not fun to be stuck in one place
Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons

Cheers everyone, have a great Sunday.

the character was middle aged , she was not the lead, but had a supporting role and was seen regularly. She was angular and thin just like the avatar you see above
People gather, party, dance, share moments of simply enjoying music and friendships.. This is the time of year people are out and about more than they usually are… make sure to enjoy the season, share your smile. It is also the time of quiet reflection. Whatever you decide, it is your decision.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others,

There is something comforting about looking out at a snow scene of undisturbed fallen snow against a hedge that is splattered with beautiful miniature snow sculptures.
To prepare for the cold and snow of today, yesterday the birds were busy storing up all the energy they could gather. Chickadees were gathered in numbers I’d not seen before… The “cafe” was a flurry of wings and chattering.. blue jays dive bombed the shelled peanuts, the squirrels had to really dodge the streaks of blue and eager beaks. Even the nuthatch came in numbers, not just one at a time… they went through four servings of butter bark in minutes.. It was a like a cafeteria line. Guests (human) were thrilled at the sight and smiling broadly when a chickadee would swing low and brush a glove or shoulder.
Nature is healing.
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.

You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.
And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.
Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.
PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.
PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,
This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.
Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….
