poached egg on toast
Poached egg on toast no… do I know what it is… no.. I somehow press a button that creates a video of sorts.. this is 1 sec. My creative expression doesn’t always work out the way I want it to.
Moving along, I tried to capture the berries against the red door of the house next door, ok,
Error
This video doesn’t exist
click on it.. there should be something there.. this is my morning of poached egg bloopers.
From my mail box to yours, happy day, the snow is light, fluffy and a little sticky, the temperature not balmy, but nice, cozy with my down on.
Oh, and btw, my eggs were delicious, salt and peppered with a tease of a Japanese chili pepper… yummy.
Life is not about everything having to be perfect, I enjoyed being outside, trying to find just the right angle and the perfect frame. So it didn’t happen like I would have wanted it to, I did get pictures, and in the process, I’m learning.

btw= by the way
quiet beckoning
Ompah is in Ontario, a little out-of-the-way, but not so far one can’t get to it. The seasons change, right now I’m sure it doesn’t look like this. It will be snow-covered, and likely there will be a chill in the air.
My body has a cold right now. Notice I’ve disengaged myself from the body that is wanting to sneeze, wheeze and be a total drain on my energy.
I envision this wonderful location, patiently waiting for the cold to have its day and disappear.
Such is life, sometimes, Nature has its own agenda, time for me to settle down, find a cave and hibernate for a while. =^_^=
I’ll do that after Hubby takes me out for our anniversary dinner…..International Buffet.. yum.. what is it, you feed a cold or starve a cold?? later, I’ll dwell on it later… =^_^=

I know… I will own my decision to go out, when I should be tucked in bed… I will not complain if/when my body does not take kindly to my actions.
Pl Principle #2 the last part….. ” I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my OWN thinking and ACTIONS”
many steps
we begin with an idea…
PL Precept # 19 Begin Once you Perceive
PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential
In this case, my sister lovingly sought out and found this material and presented it to me. I loved it.. I wanted it to be something that would be used, and appreciated every day. I don’t get to see my sister every day, she lives in California, but I appreciate her every day. This pillow graces our bed, so every day, she is part of my daily life. A sister is a precious gift, I am lucky and have two =^_^=
PL Precept # 7 Everything Exists in Relativity
In PL we have a Thanksgiving service every month on the 21st. It is the most important service of the month, held at 7 pm. Members humbly express appreciation to God for all the blessings of the past month, and sincerely renew our determination to follow and practice the PL “Way”
Our 2017 Perfect Liberty Calendars are here and ready for those interested in obtaining one or having them for gifts to friends and family for the coming year. They are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and of course Japanese. A reminder if you need them mailed to you, there would be a cost for the shipping.
YOU are a blessing in my life

There is a wonderland around us. We walk through it every day. There are magical people that pass us by on the street every day. People with dreams and imaginations just like ours, who from looking at them we would never know that they were actors in their own theatres and plays. Yet at night they could be transforming the world of others with their creativity and talents. You need only walk though a museum, see a window display, every where and especially at this time of year, you will see the creative expressions decorating homes and whole streets…. We love to delight.
PL Precept # 2 To live is to Express One’s Self.
There is an expression when you do something, do it right. Well this was not my intent, but, hey, life happens.
PL Precept # 1 Life is Art
The congee did cool down and was transferred to another bowl, my wonderful husband, who I appreciate every day, cleaned it up .. he says I’m the best “mess maker” he has ever ever known =^_^=
PL Principle #21 I will live in true harmony with my spouse
Enjoy the sunshine, dress up .. it is on the cool side, but remember.. LIFE IS GOOD!

oh no!
Oh NO! the snowman exclaimed
I’ve lost my head again
As onlookers turned away
and shoppers kept rushing by
All he could do was gasp and horror
as he saw his nose fall to the ground
all around as the day wore on
people came and went on their way
not once did anyone notice
that the little snowman
was having a difficult day
the fresh snow on the ground
made the parks so merry and gay
there was a shop down the lane
that if only someone would stop
he could tell them the way to find his friends
he knew his friends would come
help him put his head on again 
with a sigh of relief,
he saw his friends coming his way
oh joy, oh happy day!
you’ve come just in time
somehow my head fell off
and I’ve been at a total loss
I closed my eyes, and wished and prayed
and now….!!!! joy oh joy…!!!
I can stand tall and proud again
his nose and smile back in place
he was ready to smile out at the world again.
Life can get very busy, especially at this time of year. We rush from one chore to another, our mind always on the task at hand. While this is good, being efficient is always a positive, however, take time this year, to make time for your inner self, and for the friends around you who may not have the same holiday cheer you are enjoying.
Often someone really very close by or near to you can be having a difficult time. We fail to hear the silent plea not because we don’t care, but because in our “busy” mode, we don’t hear the world around us, we are running on remote control.

PL Principle # 4 I will live with the spirit of Misasage (Devotion) working for the happiness of others.
PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
shades of white
white against a back ground of green
what a lovely picture you’ll see
the fragrance of a flower in bloom
will touch your senses
with a magical sensory tune
white against a sky of blue
a sigh will escape your lips
as you dream of a place
under tropical skies and
lazy sun drenched afternoons
yet white against a sky of gray
can make for a very dull day
the white is still white
but we see it in a totally different way
think about it
how many times
have you looked at someone in a different way
only because
their background
coloured your way of seeing them
my sister painted me a hobbit house
sometimes, I think
yeah, this is where I want to stay
lost in a meadow of sheep
where I can while away the day
and at night, turn in for
a fitful sleep.
everyone needs a place to stay
when they need time
away
from a world that can in disarray

The art of “Storytelling”
I am a writer of stories, but the art of telling the story, that is an art all on its own. Last night I gave myself a gift, I took myself off to a magical place, for an hour plus, I was transported to another world, and another time. The voice of the talented story teller from his virtual platform, took the audience to Lapland where a boy named Nikolas was orphaned, and how the villagers came together to look after the young boy. Last night was part 1 of Christmas Story (Joulutarina)
On the Seanchai libraries website, they explain… Seanchai (“Storyteller” in Irish) Library celebrates the Celtic tradition of stories told around the hearth or in the pub to friends, family, and welcomed strangers. Seanchai Libraries bring stories of all kinds to life, in Virtual Worlds: Second Life, InWorldz, & Kitely on the Open Metaverse. www.seanchailibrary.com
The story teller last night was Shandon Loring.
Do you have a picture in mind, of what Santa looks like, did you wonder which of the folk stories are “true” How did all this Santa Claus “stuff” all come about…. ?
Story telling is an “art” .. my time spent listening to Shandon last night, has me wanting to know more about the story he began telling us last night.
If you are interested, join us for his next reading. Next Thursday evening 7 pm. pacific time.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Hone your listening skills, enjoy the gifts the story tellers offer us.
unseen doorways
I remember showing you these pictures some time ago. They are vehicles to open spiritual doorways to our inner consciousness. Each one has it’s very own tone, and sound vibration.
You can visit this location to hear some of the songs that a singing bowl or lid will make.
Tibetan singing bowl meditation
Usually on Thursdays, I join in, on Thursday Doors, today, I wanted to introduce you to another doorway, and encourage you, should the interest be there, to explore the possibilities offered by this wonderful world of sound.
PL Precept #12 Everything has a way according to its name
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity
Sometimes in life, we have to stop.. close our eyes and listen. Words can mean so many things, and how they are read, and who reads them, makes a world of difference.
When we close our eyes and listen only to the sounds… our breathing slows down, our mind begins to follow the sound, we travel to a place deep within, a place that connects to GOD.
