Experience the joy of change
It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today compared to yesterday, and realize how much you have improved and changed.

Do you ever feel like you are speaking to the wind? Are you tired of explaining and trying to get someone/or others to understand something that is important to you, but…. nothing,…. you are left with the frustration of realizing that something that matters to you… is just that… YOUR “problem”
Then the questions becomes, is it really a problem.
Sometimes, there is nothing to do but sit back… take a deep breath…. and let your thoughts… settle into a quiet space… so you can contemplate and look at your “problem(s) in a way that allows you to perhaps see them in a different light.
Sometimes doing something you enjoy, something relaxing, somewhere without a lot of distractions.. will help you to think and see things in a different light.
Always express your true self with honesty and integrity.
We feel a deep sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.

Please know that I appreciate each and everyone of you… and keep you all in my prayers.
Have a great start to your week, whatever you are up to.

Ever alert and ready for a hug/kisses… meet Fiel… my secret love…. I get to visit with him from time to time. There is nothing like a “dog hug/greeting”

We’ve all been there, we diligently work on a project, only to have someone come along, and ask us to revise portions of what has been done…. Star’s expression…. you what? you would like me to redo all of the first page. Is one that many today, with the ease of modern computers, can redo easily, at one time, when we worked with typewriters… this was not the case. If you missed knowing that era… look it up!

Always have presence of mind
If you overexert yourself you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

Because I’ve seen a better day… does not mean I still can’t play,
Put your whole heart into everything and express your individuality.
When you put your whole heart into expressing yourself, your true beauty will shine through,

If your mind is always full ….. how can new ideas filter through…. life is still unfolding.. there is no fixed self,… a conversation can challenge your assumptions… to be open is to be free… the mind like the body, must remain supple… if you are to move with the currents of life.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested
Whenever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance. Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion.

Holding unto anger is like holding on to a hot coal so you can pitch it at another…..
Unclutter your mind. If your life is a room, is it full of shadows and dust…?
Bom dia… Welcome another day.
Be creative in your efforts
If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.
