Everybody has a different ways of thinking and seeing the world. People have different th oughts and different opinions. Even if someone’s point of view is different from yours, listen to what they have to say so you may learn something new.

PL Principle #7 I will not have a mind to be hasty, worry nor be pessimistic.
was looking for a picture of birds/bees – so in lieu of.. voila a bird feeder
I know right, my sense of humour should be banned till after the sun goes down. OMG put the keyboard away. I just found out that friends had two special events for the Chinese New Year and I missed them both!
Always express yourself with a bright smile. Strive to always be cheerful. A cheerful and openhearted person has the power to spread their positive energy to others.

Did I succeed? Ahhhh….
PL Principle # 1 I will live paying careful attention, putting makoto into all I say and do.
“”Enjoy the process and savor it”” The feeling you have when you have seen something through to the end is awesome. BUT the true joy lies i the actual execution of the plan. (2017.8)
If you are going to do it, give it your best effort. Your actions will be dulled if you worry too much about the outcome. Once you decide on a course of action, don’t hesitate to complete your task.
Strive to express yourself beautifully through your words and actions. Always try to express yourself with appropriately chosen words and act according to each situation. Expressing yourself beautifully is a basic step towards making yourself and others happy.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation toward others and things.
Live expressing your own unique self in your day to day life. We each are given our own duties and roles in life. Take the time to find what makes you unique, and you will be able to live your life expressing your own individual beauty.
New encounters can help you change. BE up for anything, even if it’s out of your comfort-zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being.
Like the seasons, we (humans) seem to go through our own version of change. In a blog I just did for another of my “interests” https://wordpress.com/view/dymoonadventures.wordpress.com I talked about how changes to our outward appearance.. how we represent our”selves” in the worlds we live and play in.
And this picture from Debs of her and two fellow actors backstage during Murder on the Orient Express.. Lise Lesage Boily, Tim Gernstein and Deborah Lobban (right)
It is a brand new year, and there is a lot of changes in the wind. How often do you see/hear me say “the only constant in life is change”
We are all actors in the biggest play of all.. Life on Earth. I feel that this will be a year of significant changes for almost all of us. The weather has been showing us that we cannot escape the reality of life in 2024 In my blog I posted earlier, link above.. I ask the question, (many actually) about how you cope or deal with change. If any one feels like commenting I would enjoy reading what you think about where we are headed, and how personally you are making or going to make changes in the coming days/weeks/months.
No effort is ever wasted. Even if no one witnesses your actions (to your knowledge) The Universe is aware. No matter how small your efforts, your Makoto (sincerity) will be rewarded.
PL 2011.22
Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered. When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.
PL.2016.22
Lots to reflect on.. have a great day everyone!

I think there is a song out there, about “a change is going to come” ??
Handle things that come your way one by one. Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently this way.
When you look what do you see? When you listen what do you hear?
You can learn from anyone. There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience, Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinions,

Have you been rushing around trying to get things done? Are you constantly on the go? Let’s take a moment to sit together, come on, you are at having a moment to look over incoming missives.. let’s just sit together for a moment. I’ll close my eyes, you close yours.. take a deep breath.. and just let this moment BE .. slowly exhale, and wait .. count to 10 may be even 15 till you open up your peepers again.
Big smile.. did you feel the quiet envelope you. It s a feel good moment, just for you.
Share a smile with someone today, no reason,, just because…
aren’t they cute, their lives are just beginning.
They won’t be encumbered by the constant chatter of “noise” that we humans contend with in our daily lives, but they will have their own share of “dangers” - Carry goodwill to all, in all you say and do.. always.
I came across a midnight clear . Then woke to a morning bright
Although not a cloud in sight I felt as if I’d left part of me behind in the night
Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also e well balanced,,

The only constant in life is change. I am grounded in the reality of Living.
This is true, in all worlds. RL or virtual. I am me and only me.
