PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity.

Sometimes we have to make decisions that we would rather not make. We put off doing something because it is not a easy decision to make. We think about what is bothering us, we dissect it, we review all the options, we consider the number of years we have been involved with the people/organization that is part of the equation. In the end, we have to gather all the pertinent information and review it carefully.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
I have been very upset about something that is happening in an environment that I am involved with/in. So upset that I realized that I was not only upset, I was/ am feeling used. In reviewing the circumstances, I didn’t feel that I was personally being abused or mistreated by the situation, but never the less the “anger” in me was/is very real…. so saying, I decided that to make a proper decision, I needed to confront, and be honest and open about my feelings and why I was /or am ready to disassociate myself with the situation.
PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
So I have made arrangements to listen to the “other side” with an open mind…. and then from there I will review my “headspace” again.
Meanwhile I am taking a step back, and will listen to the silence for awhile.
How is your day ? I wish for you a happy and positive week-end.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking
Look and listening carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings

Ok.. yes you’ve seen this message before… did you listen… did you consider the message?
Have you slowed down the pace of your life? I just received a very interesting video .. these days I can’t always tell if its Ai or ? because it has information that many will find useful, I’m leaving a link to it at the end of this post. Its about being an older “person”, this video is by a woman and aimed at women, but the message is important to everyone. We are all on the path that leads to “aging”.
Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves
Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.

a wee owl resting in the trees.
The picture has been cropped so that the location of the wee one is not easily determined. Yes I am one of the nature lovers who protects the wild life .. from onlookers who come and destroy the peace and tranquility of the woodlands …. it is unfortunate, but I have seen too many scenes of mobs who treat the wee ones like a sideshow.
Good morning everyone..
You gain strength through your hardships
Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.

Please pray for world peace. These are troubled times.

Value those who are nearest to you
It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

A beautiful sun filled day, the skies a brilliant blue – it was an amazing moment in time.
It was a clear day, and I was lucky enough to have the miles of forest to myself. Well almost, I had all the woodland critters with me. ^_^
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.

Listening to the pouring rain. The fire is crackling and blazing in the fireplace, there isn’t another person home, just the cats who are somewhere enjoying the quiet of the day.. Taking time to rest to just listen to our thoughts is a pass time that many of us put off. I am guilty of it myself. I am tempted by the photographic possibilities in a virtual world…or caught up listening to my lessons .. reviewing incoming mail. there is always “something” that catches my attention.
Yesterday, I had a “chat” with my nephew who is gathering information to do a “chart” of our family “histories”… I know some of you have been doing similar research, going back over family photos, gathering stories of the past moments in your family history. It seems like in today’s world (according to my nephew) it is somewhat simpler. He was able to (with a few clicks) show me a map of where my grandparents came from in China. The exact location on the map, so I could actually see the province in China and the little town near the coast where my father’s family came from. I could see how far it was from Taiwan, and picture them travelling from China to Canada way back when.
I sometimes get very annoyed at the constant barrage of information and images that constantly appear on my screen when I’m trying to do something else. But yesterday I was grateful and thankful for the technology we have today. Reminded me again, that there is always a positive to something that can be so negative at times.
“Time is more valuable than money because time is irreplaceable” (God’s little devotional book)
Appreciate each person’s good points.
Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in others so that we can get along. (PL2015.16)
Have a good start to a new week!

I know I will be asked, let me give you the LM to the location I visited in SL (Second Life) The ambience is lovely, the sound of pouring rain is restful… http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Silent%20Melody%202/224/114/2520 /silent Melody is a lovely relaxing setting … rain
patters against the windows. Each corner reveals a hidden nook, a tranquil spot to sit and savor the peace to silent melodies, as the world outside fades into a distant murmur.
