Experience the joy of change
It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today, compared to yesterday, and realize who much you have improved or changed.

True friendships are forever – treasure time spent with a friend, we never know what is around the corner. Life is an adventure.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

Friends can spend time in silence… just being together is what makes the moment “happen”
Actions speak louder than words.

The church grounds are so welcoming and peaceful at this time of year. We are blessed to have huge wild green space behind our land, so there is always a quiet hush as we approach the grounds.
Service today at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving/Day of Appreciation.

My cats watching television. I wonder at times what they are thinking as they watch the birds, squirrels, bunnies and other wild critters go about their business of searching for food on the telly . They sit at the patio doors and look out to the courtyard as well. I took a page from their lives yesterday, and took a day off. I let the world go by, and you know what. it survived without me, and I got along just fine.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

It isn’t always important to be doing “something”
It is OK, to allow yourself to do “nothing”
Leave your cell phone in the house, or in another room, turn it off.
When was the last time you looked up and simply took in the vast blue sky, or counted the fluffy clouds drifting overhead.

There was a time when we could enjoy quiet moments of reflection, when there wasn’t an electronic device in every room. We basked in the quiet of the day, we sat outside on the porch or front stoop and enjoyed the day/night. Neighbours going for a walk, or coming home from work, going out for the evening, walking to the bus stop, the pace was slow and leisurely. And…. and…. people waved and stopped to say hi.. good evening/day….
All that has gone away. I’m told that people don’t even have time to play, they are always rushing to get something done/finished/started. Hobby, what’s that?
I have been in my new home now for just a little over a year, it has been a transition, from a house to an apartment . I am still only now realizing that I’m still “adjusting”
Its too early to really talk about it.. but I at least have now accepted that the change.. long overdo… was inevitable.
PL#16 All things progress and develop.
This is the one I’m currently working on…
PL #19 Begin once you perceive
Have a good day everyone!

came across this picture… couldn’t look away. I think the heat waves we’ve had this summer…. have influenced me. I am totally enamoured with the vibe ….
Today the 11th. is Ancestor’s Day … service is at 10:a.m.
Let’s pray for World Peace. Pray for the happiness of those around us.

Think “now is the time” Instead of “It’s no use now”… Don’t give up by thinking its too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.
Express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.
