Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement. If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for shortcomings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.
Applaud the Makoto of others. When you encounter good faith or kindness’ in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully. This will make both you and them happy. (Makoto, One’s utmost sincerity) PL2016.23
PL Precept #2 To live is to express One’s Self.
Visiting with friends, I was looking for a picture to show them of a mutual friend, I had to go back through pictures posted many many years ago. Look what surfaced.. pictures of the days w hen I worked with a product called Powertex (that is a demo piece I did to advertise classes).. I combined the Powertex with another product, Apoxie Sculpt to do “garden/outdoor sculptures”. Interesting how something that was such a passion at one time, is now only a memory.
Good Morning everyone! Today being the 21st we will have the Thanksgiving Service at 7 pm. .. there will be no morning service today; The Thanksgiving/Day of Appreciation service is one of the important services held monthly where we offer our appreciation and thanks for the blessings of the past month. It is a time to renew our determination to follow and practice our individual Mioshie and to share our faith with others.
A thankful heart leads to happiness, When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful doe; 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 these things.

Out for the day, exploring, sometimes we agree, sometimes there is a decision to be made. How we handle the moment, is important, Sometimes we have to step back, and rethink the moment.
There is always a solution. Always believe that there is a solution to any problem that comes your way, and work with conviction to solve it.

PL Precept #4 Being annoyed limits your expression.
Say what needs to be said without hesitation. Do you find yourself compromising , holding back from expressing what is truly in your heart? Don’t be afraid and just say what needs to be said.
Sometimes, you want to, but there are signs that suggest, you find another way. This morning I wanted to stay in bed, but the days calendar told me, I needed to change my direction, to a more productive start. Sigh, it was so cozy.
Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way,

I’m going to repeat this several times today, it works! =^_^=
Hello. look what a friend introduced me to! We were talking about conservation areas, our dogs, just catching up … When I was shown a picture of the family dogs, I noticed her backyard was different from what I know to be backyards here where I live. Oh, yes, we are in the “high desert” she said, that is the Garden of the Gods you see in the background. Then she sent me the link to the web page for the Nature Park. Colorado! I have seen pictures in the past taken when other friends have holidayed there… however.. let me tell you… I book marked the page, and I will be going back to look at the stunning vistas again.
How easy it is to forget that there is so much in life to be explore and experienced. I would love to experience actually seeing those beautiful animals myself. Or taking in what looks like crisp dry air. I love my four seasons here in Canada, but that park sure looks like it would be fascinating to explore.
Treasure those fleeting inspirations. The time to seize an opportunity is when you first notice it. Good timing is crucial to working efficiently.
