Wednesday

So many time I see kindness, passers by moving aside when they see you are carrying a heavy bag of groceries, wait patiently while an elderly person is crossing a busy lane in a parking lot, or a mother with children is wanting to move the children along when they are blocking an aisle by being “children”. What I don’t see, is a nod of thanks.. or even a smile that the kindness happens/happened.

We are all living in a world that has become indifferent to the hurry up attitude, or demanding schedules that keep us constantly on the move. I know… life gets busy, life happens, and we all have deadlines or places we have to be. Many of us function at times on auto-pilot, it happens. May I take this opportunity to ask you… myself included in this reminder… say thank you more often, and smile, nod, recognize that we are not alone trying to maneuver in this hectic day to day of modern living. A smile can change someone’s day…. even if is for a moment.

Your enthusiasm, will pave the way

Your enthusiasm will fuel your efforts and creativity, and will spread to those around you, driving new developments.

PL2019.7

Smiles and laughter can be a balm on an “off” day.

Have a good day dear friend…. till soon.

5th

My sentiments. I have had this lingering cold/flu now for almost 6 weeks, maybe even more.. Who knows anymore, and who cares… I guess I do. However on the bright side… I have had a lot of REST if not always fitful. Come to think of it… In looking back, I don’t think I’ve had a real bout of “sickness” in recent years, So I guess I should consider this a positive. My body must have been or has been in need of R E S T … In my “awake” times, I have noticed that the cats are aware of my comings and goings.

For instance, I discovered that YouTube has these cat/dog videos.. Before leaving for my morning ritual of nature walks (a way of saying, I go into the woodland I favour to spend time with the birds) I started to put on the telly for them (since moving into an apartment)(reasoning that when I had the house they had 3 floors to run around in and explore)… I started out just putting on Asian music, soothing … calming… (I enjoyed it right) but one day I saw that there was a video for cats.. with birds and animals, nature sounds, running water, feeders…. well … instantly I had two very interested felines perched on the end of the massage table.. totally fascinated. So I now have two cats who when they see me getting ready to go out, wait for me to open the magic window. Amazing.. my cats have discovered technology.

Today’s message..

Your smile energized the people around you.

A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you.

Ps. for those of you who knew /know that I have been after the free Genus head being offered in SL (Second Life) Today was my lucky day, I succeeded in getting the female head at 5 a.m. my time… (2 a.m. SL time).. they had such a tremendous response, their vendor went down, I did get the male head the first day I knew about the offer and went in to try my luck. I will do a write up on the head later in/on my Virtual Blog. Meanwhile if you want to see the male, I have posted his picture on my Flickr page. (grid status .. there were over 30,000 people online at the time.) (offer was limited for only so many days)

Cheers, till soon.

27th

How many times have you walked into a room only to discover, you don’t recall why you decided to get up and go into that room? You knew with certainty you were on a mission. Then when you get into the room, you look at your computer, the clutter on the desk, and can’t for the life of you, remember what you got up for, I admit it has happened to me a few times, but nothing so serious that I worried about it. If its important, you’ll remember, words of wisdom … there is enough going on in the world today that we should think about… I think someone wrote a book, “don’t sweat the small stuff”.. — so how are you today? Survive the festive meals, family get togethers? Yesterday came and went in a blur. Today is another day, a new beginning..

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art.

Let’s interact proactively with an ever-changing society.

Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep our eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn to deal with them proactively.

PL2014.27

Thinking of you and yours during this special time… Be well.. be happy,

Trees

When the “boyz” decorate, they don’t fool around, these are just a few of the trees that decorate their home during the holidays.

I usually go out to take pictures after they are set up…. this will all be enjoyed with their annual New Year’s “come visit” party…I have watched as every year, a new year or new theme gets added.. Even the exterior of the home is festive bringing a smile to all who drive by …Believe on cold dreary days travelling through the snowy challenges.. Canadian winters can offer up… seeing this festive display shining out at you never fails to bring smiles and cheer a traveller on their way. (promise more pictures soon)

This year I have been visited by a persistent flu germ…. what a nuisance, It is visiting the least patient of humans… its been an unwelcome guest for weeks. leaving me tired and uninterested in simply everything. How are you doing? We are days away from the jolly holiday …you ready?

If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

PL2014.23

For those who have asked me how the cats are settling in… they have discovered YouTube/ bird videos, I now have two cats who can sit for hours watching woodpeckers, grosbeaks squirrels cardinals and and and. They are fascinated.

and,… yes.. there is a performance tonight, 4 pm slt. @ Nat’s (SL)

Time for parties, dancing, good music, everyone dressing up, strutting their holiday costumes, it was nice to see everyone sharing in a couple of hours of Holiday music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag8tA_ycIrQ

Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day.

Each and everyone of your actions can inspire peace within your family your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to world peace.

PL2020.21

Not everyone celebrates the same way, be aware of differences, share your smile, offer kindness with Makoto (sincerity).. Celebrate the season.

If you see Quinkat in the video that is someone you know (one of the photographers for the event) wink.

People gather, party, dance, share moments of simply enjoying music and friendships.. This is the time of year people are out and about more than they usually are… make sure to enjoy the season, share your smile. It is also the time of quiet reflection. Whatever you decide, it is your decision.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others,

Expecting too much leads to dissatisfaction

When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too.
