Good Morning everyone –
God will support you if you put your full Makoto (sincerity/heart) into what you do
Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts.
Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

Thought I’d take you down to another time when life was very different from “today” – before my time… but.. I enjoyed the visit. Maybe you will too.
I was looking for a song .. there have been several “passings” these past weeks.. the song.. Happy trails came to mind… and this video came up.
NO cell phones back then.
PL Precept # 16 All things Progress Develop.
This is a more recent version done by Van Halen…
Have a good day everyone… put “Makoto” (sincerity) in all you do.

Some days we just want to go back to bed
But
it is not a luxury we can afford
so, we get up and soldier on
true, when there is a will … there is a way
hopefully you will listen to what a I am going to say
Always be true to yourself – because you can never escape the inner YOU

Did you know needle felting is done with sheep’s wool, after the sheep is sheared, the wool is processed into roving… I spent years chasing after the product before it became easily accessible, when felting became a skill that was more popular. On the left is one of the dancers I made when I was with the Canadian leg of an American one of a kind Art Doll group.
I was reflecting not long ago on how now when I drive country roads, I no longer see farm animals grazing peacefully in the fields. I even thought back to a very distant memory when the first home my parents bought had a coal bin, in the basement.
Memories are something that creep into our lives when we least expect them to, and when our thought process is not always ready to accept or understand why.. they are surfacing.
In PL we have a precept that you see me use often.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
My life has been long, busy, and very full. I reflect at times, at how my life experiences have brought me to where I am today.
Have you seen one of my post … on FB .. where I use a sign that reads…
In my younger years, we made things out off whatever we could find to create what we were trying to express … or for instance make something we needed or wanted, because unlike today, we couldn’t just go to a shop and purchase something.
With all this technology today (and believe me, let something happen to my keyboard or mouse!! you want to see panic!!) are we inundated with too much…???
We are all so accepting of credit cards, cell phones that are carried everywhere, … let me ask…. do you ever want a quieter easier less frantic lifestyle.. do you know what it is to have a peaceful lazy day where you don’t experience quilt if you set aside time just for YOU.??
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter
Yesterday I had a moment of sitting in a tree, on an upper branch that held two of us… the moment was breath taking. The visual of that moment was for me…. simply awesome..
I think having awesome moments in this day and age… is utterly fantastic.
Here is wishing you such moments… everyone deserves them!!!

Did someone say “long week-end”?
….. Let’s start by enjoying this moment, right now… I closed my eyes and felt the sunshine… it is streaming through the patio window. Must be time to “catch some rays”
Time to go out to the woods and “play”
Enjoy whatever it is you plan to do today..

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive.
Reach out and talk to a friend today that you have had on your mind, but haven’t caught up with in awhile
Every day is a new beginning. Once today is gone, it will never happen again.
I received a text this morning, in seconds my world was changed. That is how quickly “life happens”.. Don’t squander your day.. Enjoy who you are in this moment, Appreciate and have gratitude… now is slipping away, I close my eyes and say a simple “thank you” for sharing this moment with me.

PL Precept #21 Live in Perfect Liberty
There are days when we feel lost and alone
Days when you wander from chore to chore,
wondering if there is anything anywhere that will lighten the load
There MUST be more…..
That is when you realize you are not alone…..
Can you see???
In PL. PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

on my flickr, I posted the same picture with a different lighting if you can’t make out the background.. might help…. (wicked gleam and laugh)
A member sent this out the other day. I just stared at it. So true!
Anyone else feel the same way!
PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

Happy Saturday all.

Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated
Flexibly adapt to changes
When you find yourself overwhelmed, stop what you are doing, take a step back, and breathe!

Today is the 8th day of the 8 th. month,
An astrological and numerological alignment symbolizing infinite abundance power, and new beginnings. (Lion’s Gate Portal)
It is now 8 a.m. on the 8th day of the 8th month. In Numerology 888 .. infinity symbol..dates like August 8th. compound this energy of balance, success and infinite potential.
In Biblical symbolism 8 represents a fresh start, resurrection and new beginnings.
So………………. I’m thinking……………… this is going to be a great day!
