You can get all dressed up, do your hair, pretend its going to be a glamour day, but no matter how you cut the cake, if there is work to be done, or matters to be attended to that aren’t fun… You have to set your mind to the task and get it done.
giving a presentation can be fun, interesting and certainly if it is appreciated .. rewarding
Usually there is always a lot of hard work and effort that goes into putting/pulling something off in a seamless fashion, or presenting a “brilliant” feature documentary. For a brief time we can look very professional and maintain a certain air of efficiency and know how. BUT, we all need down time, and we all, each and everyone of us, needs time to regroup, to be still, to reconnect with our inner Selves.
Catching up and sharing time with friends.. that is IMPORTANT too. Here Alo was visiting with Sister Qu who is the resident hokyoshi (assistant minister) at the PL Center in Second Life. http://www.secondlife.com
The teachings of PL, the 21 Precepts and 21 Principles, are what help us navigate through the world we live in today… Stay in touch with what grounds you… what keeps you mentally and physically alert and positive. Life is too important to squander.
PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror Todo es espejo
PL Precept #11 Always be with God. Confie todo a Dios.
Obrigado PL por me ensinar amar assim Por ver Deus dentro de mim e em qulquer lugar
Thank you PL for teaching me to love, to see God within me, and everywhere around.
From my home to yours – Love now and always
With one thought, “the world” will change. Changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.
saw the woodpecker today at Mer Bleue – got to say goodbye till next time..
With the snow melting, the sunshine working its magic… the days getting longer… the two areas I visited every day from last October till now.. have change. Yesterday I was unable to get my trunk open, so had to forgo putting out the rest of my feed. Today I went back .. I collected more feeders and filled a few for the birds that have remained for the time being. At Dewberry, there are still a couple of Grosbeaks, they chowed down happily on the fresh sunflower seeds I put out… There is a distinct change in the “ambience” of the area.. I was so intimately connected to the place, I can feel the difference. An interesting observation.
Mer Bleue I was interested in finding out, altho’ I could see and feel the difference in the little area I enjoyed all winter, it wasn’t as dramatic a change for me. I spent more time at Dewberry, often sitting in the little glade with them for a quarter of an hour or more.. In the below zero temperatures.. for me that was something “new”.. I can honestly say, I had a wonderful winter sharing with my little “bird families”.
Multitasking reduces your joy by half. When doing something give it your all. There is a joy in everything.

What I learned about myself this past winter is that I am able to get up and go out every day and feel re-energized. Not a winter person before, I now feel that I can say, I enjoyed being outdoors every day in whatever weather the day presented me with. With the birds I learned that it was an environment I could enjoy, and be comfortable in. Who would have thought, sitting in the snow during a snow storm visiting with birds would be an enjoyable pass -time..
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point . Siempre estamos ante la bifuracion del bien y del mal.
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity Todos existe en relatividad.
How many of us are spending time waiting. In my area, it seems that everyone around in different provinces or States have had their first, even some have had both of their shots. Meanwhile, we wait.
I’ve tried reading, I was as you know going out and feeding the birds, but now with the change in the weather, they are doing just fine.
Time is spent thinking, wondering when there will be a more balanced approach to how we spend our time, even catching up with friends in person, instead of by phone or virtual calls.
Even having the shot will not mean life will just return to “what it was” No, there will still be the need for masks and social distancing. Today there was segment on the radio about how the animals, especially dogs will adapt (not) when their humans return to working outside the home.
Now more than ever, we need to live being aware of the good, positive “things” “happenings” in our lives. The quote I posted yesterday, resonated with me then and even more today.
A thankful heart leads to happiness. When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate things.

Look forward to what’s ahead. There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.
Express your appreciation with enthusiasm. Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development.

I had one of those sleepless nights.. a night where you know you are tired, but sleep just won’t come. It is elusive and simply not wanting to participate in your desire to sleep. I had a wonderful stroll through Num’s pictures again.. These cuties are adorable.
Have a great, productive and HAPPY Friday everyone.. stay safe..
Till soon.
PL Precept # 8 Live as the sun Viva radiante como el sol.
What is “normal” is different for each individual. – everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It’s important to understand others’ feelings.

when there is a will, there is a waythe more I learn – the less I knowWhat I see today, in that one moment, will disappear as soon as I move away
-p.s. – I think of myself as being without discrimination – however today, when sea gulls joined the crows at the table, I actually wanted to shoo them away. – the lessons I am learning are very “thought provoking” (btw I did not act.. but I did take note of my reaction.)
HAVE YOU REMEMBERED TO CHANGE THE CLOCKS.. we move an hour ahead today!
NO! Go away
LET ME SLEEP!
WE SAY….TIME TO GET UP
Why is it, any other time getting up at this time is no problem… because we had to set out clocks ahead one hour, this morning, I didn’t want to know about getting up…
can you see the darling owl? Isn’t this just the cutest picture..
Every day brings new beginnings… today was no exception. It was my pleasure to meet a wandering photographer, who came over to say hello. When he showed me this precious picture, I was thrilled when he offered to share some of his creativity with us. Thank you Ed.. (Ed Hodgins)
Tomorrow (Sunday 14th) service will be at 10 a.m. * remember tonight we move the clocks ahead one hour*
Have a “let’s do it” attitude. Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by God and accomplish it.
