Because

Because

Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it

It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative

Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….

Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.

and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…

Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.

Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..

Because this is Thursday, you can visit, Dan’s No Facilities site for more doors.https://nofacilities.com/2024/09/05/welcome-to-pittsburgh/

Happy Thursday everyone!

Let’s Express our joy to others.

When you express our joy to others, the joy will multiply, and make others happy as well. (PL2017.26)

Things begin to happen the moment you decide. “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude. (PL2017.6)

Your true self is revealed in the smallest of words and actions. Most people act and speak carefully when faced with an important situation. However, it is also important to put your sincerity into the simplest seemingly minor tasks as well. (P2011.18)

PL Principle # 4 I will live with the spirit of Misasage (Devotion) working for the happiness of others.

This song always makes me smile. all the international members sang this song as we gathered to walk together into the grounds of the PL Holy Land in Japan.

a moment in time

does it matter if we are going forward, or if it is where we’ve been

what matters is we are here now

The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face very task/moment with wholehearted enthusiasm. (PL2012.2)

Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.

I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.

He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!

Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

Even the animals are feeling the heat. It has been brutal, the storm last night did little to clear the air, the heat warnings are still in effect.

“As a living person, you interact with the people and things around in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express yourself each and every day. Through your daily artistic expressions, you can create your one and only life.

If you ae ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly, going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions, you will not be able to lead a full life.

Your life is your very own unique work of art.” (PL Life is Art. members guide)

Friday

Call a cab… …. remember when…

I am so thankful to have lived the life I lived. Most of all I’m grateful for the experiences I have faced, the opportunities and the challenges. All of it. It made me who I am today. My world is filled with love and sunshine, and I appreciate that my now is filled with contentment and quiet joy.

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is.(PL2014.5)

“now”

Put all your effort into the “now”. You can only do your absolute best right this moment, not in the past, not in the future, but now. (PL2018.27)

A mustard seed is a very small seed, that when planted it becomes a tree producing millions of mustard seeds. It doesn’t “think” “Oh, I’m really a tree, and I know I can be one, ” Once planted – if properly nurtured, it will just do it. When we believe and have faith that everything will turn out all right, it will be as it should be. The moment is fine, just as it is. whatever that may be.

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.
