snow

The soft flakes fell ..,each a delicate masterpiece of beauty… with gentle precision they landed on the extended arms of the trees. The forest was covered in a blanket of sparkling organic gems. Some translucent and others the purest of white.

I was surrounded by scenes that were surreal ,the world had become a winter wonderland. Suddenly I’d get a flash of black as a frisky squirrel would scamper towards the “cafe”… then I would catch the rusty red of a smaller squirrel rushing to get a place at the “table”.

The blue jays were already poised to shop for the biggest peanut they could find… and since reopening, the woodpeckers were gathering higher up … waiting for the suet and butter bark to be distributed.

The chickadees,, nuthatch and a group of “gray” birds were busy grabbing would they could from the buffet tables. Chirping and chattering all the while as they flew back for second and third helpings

Here we are at the beginning of new week. I hope you have a beautiful start to your day/week.

Have clear goals and take appropriate actions

Always begin with a clear idea of what your goals are. Once you have pinpointed the target for your actions, things will move forward much more smoothly.

The next day after the snow.. the cafe floor was filled with tiny and mid size paw prints. There wasn’t a crumb left.. all the tables/platters were empty.

Thursday

Decisions.. decisions.. sometimes it is hard to be an adult. My inner dragon is roaring … it wants to go to the rock/mineral show in Montreal….. Decisions… decisions… grumble… mumble

We are all wonderful in our own way….

Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious

Yesterday was a busy day, yet very tiring…. seems everyone around me is dealing with something, ie. runny nose, cough, chills, the drop in temperature, and the bit of snow we got, seems to have put everyone in a, “let’s go back to bed” mood.

While exploring I found a build that was set in an environment of swirling water incased by walls that let the open skies in and protected from elements. It was the sound of rushing water cascading and tumbling over the rocks, creating such a thundering and rumbling sound that it was musical, I found it was actually soothing. I actually sat on a bench and just let the sounds engulf my senses…. I relaxed… forgot about wanting to explore … and made time to just sit and listen. (will give LM below)

. In PL we celebrate Ancestors’ Day .. every 11th of the month. Service will be at 10:a.m. please if you cannot attend in person, join us for a few silent moments around 10:- 10:15 a.m. In Canada today is also Remembrance Day , in the States I think its called Veterans Day. It is time to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and those who have come before us.

Live today to the fullest

You are here today thanks to your ancestors’ virtue and Makoto (sincere effort). Remember to be thankful and live your life to the fullest so that you can pass this virtue on to the next generation.

Have a good day. Till soon.

That beautiful dusting of snow… a hint of what could be in the coming days/weeks. A gentle tease for now,

Willingly take on tasks that are behind the scenes

Be the one who is able to proactively take on the troublesome tasks that no one likes and fore which they are not recognized. By dong so, you will be filled with a genuine feeling of accomplishment.

Oh dear… someone said snow is coming…

Enjoy the process and savor it.

The feeling you have when you’ve seen something through to the end is awesome, but the true joy lies in the actual execution of the plan.

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.

Nov.4

Good relationships begin by greeting each other.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

Nov.3.

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.

PL2014.3

Life is not always a walk in the park, or moments filled with joy … but the moments that perplex and frustrate will pass… they always do.

I’d like to thank everyone who has been visiting this blog… I have been remiss in acknowledging new members… no excuse except that I have for some reason been hit with a lot of unexpected “this and that” moments that have left me “tired and in some ways very unproductive”.. 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.
