Holding unto anger is like holding on to a hot coal so you can pitch it at another…..
Unclutter your mind. If your life is a room, is it full of shadows and dust…?
Bom dia… Welcome another day.
Be creative in your efforts
If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.
PL2014.16
The body may grow older, but … your time is finally your own…. the spirit grows younger !! Welcome another day !

We all have different ways of feeling and thinking
Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

Pet and Cal dancing in the park….
Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the People who came before you.
Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.
PL2019.11
Dancing allowing the music to flow in and around you… letting your body move to the natural rhythms so you harmonize with the world around you is a wonderful way to “let go” of body stress. Q

Work well with everyone
The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solution’s, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders

Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job
Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses. Continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.

“wander quietly through and along the path.. let the day surround you with the tranquil energy of nature’s embrace.” Q
Let your gratitude show in your words and actions.
When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud.

How was Montreal? We didn’t get into the city we stopped on the West Island for lunch and ended up staying on the West Island. The colours on the drive were awesome..
Instead of candles on a cake, after all this time, a bonfire I thought would be more appropriate. Thank you everyone for your wishes… September is a month of celebration for sure … I think this is the first year in a very very long time I have actually worked.. September was a month of travelling, and exploring. ahhh but.. you have all heard me say, time and time again… Every day is a new beginning.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Life is what we make it. I am very blessed to be able to say that in life, I have lived many journeys, travelled many miles, and known and experienced many wonderful and amazing moments that will live in my heart forever.
In PL we believe that everything happen for a reason, we may not at the time recognize or appreciate the lesson(s) we are learning… but
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
Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective
The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.
PL2015.17
I have been truly blessed with a wonderful life and thoughtful, caring friends. Thank you!

Are you alone? Deep in the forest, there is a magic that permeates the air, if you take the time, to sit quietly and allow the natural sounds of the nature around you to visit with you… the merry sound of meandering water over coloured pebbles is joyful as it slides with ease over the multi faceted rocks and gurgles joyfully as it brushes against and through the water ferns and stalks of vegetation that lines its banks.
Always there is something to discover, Know that all around you, there are eyes watching. You might not see who/what is watching, but…. your presence is not unnoticed.
Start by doing the things you notice.
It is impossible to do two things at once. Let your intuition guide you and start with what you can take on now.
PL2017.16
Stay safe, enjoy your day!
