Freshly made wontons, brought home and made a wonderful soup. on the left, stock is being prepared with bone broth, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger, and fresh cut sweet onion, with corn cut from the cob. I used part of the wontons for lunch, then the last of the wontons I made another soup for dinner.
Today the 21st. we celebrate Thanksgiving (Day of Appreciation) service at 10a.m. Japanese Curry on rice after!!
Let’s all take a moment to say thank you… for all the blessings in our life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let’s live with gratitude toward everyone and everything all day today.
If you can’t make the day service, we have one at 7 pm,
Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through
It doesn’t matter where you go .. how you do your hair, wear your clothes, you will always be YOU. Clothes, makeup, hairstyles will not change the person you are, It does feel good to dress up, and it is fun to try different outfits, but always, you “person” is the YOU you woke up with and will be with you when you turn off at night.
PL Precepts – # 2 – To live is to express One’s self
Oyashikiri
How many times have you gone on a holiday to escape, only to find that you only took your “issues” with you … and guess what.. when you get home/back- nothing changed.
Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.
A different season. temperatures are somewhat cooler this morning, but who knows what we will experience by end of day. The humidity levels have been so draining.
The move has gone well, the house is now sold, belongs to someone else… Yay! I do miss my garden(s) especially the trees that are now giving fruit. but.. such is life.. now I am adjusting to living in an apartment and parking in an underground maze of cars…. metal sculptures on rubber wheels that wait for us to need them again.
There is one car down there that is kept like a polished jewel, one day I will meet the owner, it is a baby blue jeep. Not once have I seen it with a spec of dust on it, it just looks so “pretty”…. mine has already been christened, with cement scrapes and scratches.
“Oh! and guess what!” I finally found my storage container with the pasta etc. in it. Yay! Let’s see… and oh yes, yesterday I treated the hardwood floors to a Magnolia Home carpet. (by Joanna Gaines)(Loloi) It is a runner not a full carpet.. the cats love it. I enjoy the contrast of it against the hardwood floor. Slowly my new “home” is taking shape. You saw yesterday the mask I found.. lots of good positive energy there!!!
Eartha was here yesterday, she helped me with the magnesium creams/spray .. getting ready to work on the “ZEN” room. There is a teaser for you.. I’m really looking forward to enjoying the “ZEN” room. fyi. the magnesium cream does seem to give breathing room to the neuropathy visits. I have found the topical use of magnesium more effective (for me) then supplements. Which end up in my digestive system.. I want it where I need it.
Think of the timing before you say “but”
When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.
Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions.
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a pointto be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.
Needed a break from the heat, humidity and at times rain.
Every day is a new beginning… I remember taking this picture, the day was cool, crisp and invigorating. Hard to find that these days, it has been scorching.. uncomfortable and heavy.
In the PL Prayer, there is a passage “ all humankind who are brought to birth in accord with your Creation are endowed with individuality and intelligence to live an artistic life, for the sake of the world and for the sake of humankind.”
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.
