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.

help please
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
PL2022.28
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
now
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,

snow
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.

Wednesday
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….

life
In life we all have choices to make. There isn’t a day/night goes by where we are not faced with having to make a choice. Like the many colours in our lives, the palette before us enables to paint/draw/imagine whatever picture, we want, the choice is ours. Maybe not always what happens, but the decision on how to accept or use the hand dealt is ours to make
In PL…
Precept #1 Life is Art
Precept # 2 To live is to express One’s Self.

Have a good day everyone..

Sunday
Happy Sunday everyone, I see a fresh blanket of snow outside… The temperatures dipped the other day to -27…. yet if not in the wind, it was pleasant, Today will be another adventure.
You’re happy, I’m happy
Have the minset of “good for you, good for me” Express yourself in a way that makes others happy.
