Wednesday

Rather than thinking “I have to…” think “OK, Let’s do this!“ When you procrastinate and put things off until later, you will make things harder than they need to be. Get up and do it now.

Perfect Liberty 2020.31

We need to put our spirit into every word and deed we express so that sincerity is in our every expression. Life is Art.

No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you

Doors

Good morning, since showing you a picture of my fridge door would not be as pleasing, I will introduce you to Gananoque, Ontario, a picturesque little town along the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence river, while I wait for my Lobster Bisque to cool to a temperature that is comfortable at this hour of the morning.

Back to the fridge door and the lobster bisque. I opened the fridge door at 3 something a.m. to get a glass of water, and found that the bisque lobster had tipped over and was now redecorating the interior of the fridge. Keeper (my whippet) was happy to sniff around to see if any had gotten down to her level, she always wants to help in such matters, However, since the door was already opened, and I was faced with the mess… I did what I do best in such matters I closed the door.

OK.. so I did clean up the mess up first, and while at it, instead of the water I had been in search of I had some cold bisque. Let’s face it. it is liquid and it actually was tasty. So there you have it, why bisque for breakfast. And.. a serving of doors.

A word of caution tho’ if you are going to get domestic in the wee hours, you will find that doing dishes could be one of your early morning activities. That is not a nightmare, but a morning horror.

The best timing to take action is when you notice it. When you take note of something, it is a signal from God/UNIVESE that you should take care of it right away.

Cheers.

PL Precept #1   Life is Art

PL Principle # 1   I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,

Life has been “busy” and “cold” we are coming out of a cold snap, last night before bed, maybe around 10pm I was out shoveling snow, clearing the play area in the backyard so that Keeper could go out and not be having to maneuver through the snow..again, yup it was snowing again. Yes, I could wait till this morning, but then,,, there would be more of it, and I have things I do in the morning, (routines) Besides, it was dark, it was quiet, and I could go out and shovel in the darkness of night, and simply BE.

All was calm and good till I realized I couldn’t find my cell phone. No wonder it had been so quiet. !!! Fortunately I was able to send a message to a friend (via PC) .. who called me… Eventually the delinquent phone was found….  which reminds me, I have to go find my cell phone and clear the messages.. or no one will be able to leave a message, Is it just my cell, or do all cell phones only allow for 2 messages?

Life is good if this is my only dilemma this morning. Have a good one everyone! Blink and we will be in February.

Anyone try the banana tea?

Do you know that each cloud is unique… and no two trees are alike.

Changes

Like the seasons, we (humans) seem to go through our own version of change. In a blog I just did for another of my “interests” https://wordpress.com/view/dymoonadventures.wordpress.com I talked about how changes to our outward appearance.. how we represent our”selves” in the worlds we live and play in.

Then in my morning mail, I got this little clip https://youtube.com/shorts/yrL46htpljc?si=fjqmm7q82htW9p3S  Thanks Eartha… 

And this picture from Debs of her and two fellow actors backstage during Murder on the Orient Express.. Lise Lesage Boily, Tim Gernstein and Deborah Lobban (right)

It is a brand new year, and there is a lot of changes in the wind. How often do you see/hear me say “the only constant in life is change”

We are all actors in the biggest play of all.. Life on Earth. I feel that this will be a year of significant changes for almost all of us. The weather has been showing us that we cannot escape the reality of life in 2024 In my blog I posted earlier, link above.. I ask the question, (many actually) about how you cope or deal with change. If any one feels like commenting I would enjoy reading what you think about where we are headed, and how personally you are making or going to make changes in the coming days/weeks/months.

No effort is ever wasted. Even if no one witnesses your actions (to your knowledge) The Universe is aware. No matter how small your efforts, your Makoto (sincerity) will be rewarded.

PL 2011.22

Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered. When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.

PL.2016.22

Lots to reflect on.. have a great day everyone!

I think there is a song out there, about “a change is going to come” ??
