Saturday

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.

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.

Smile

Boo night

Pumpkins bump in the night – who will ring your doorbell tonight… have you prepared for the ghosts and goblins that will roam the streets tonight… moaning and groaning the vampires and zombies will stumble and grumble under the moonlight … while witches and elves will sneak up and thrill on your screams of fright.

In most towns and cities in the North American hemisphere there will be weird and wonderful hauntings happening … this will be a week-end of parties and fun,, Whatever you get up to, enjoy!

Don’t hesitate to show kindness to others.

Do you ever find yourself hesitating to show kindness to someone? It is when you put your thoughts into action that you can show other what is in your heart.

Always have presence of mind

If you overexert yourself you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

First, Accept everything

Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.

Things I gave away when I moved, now I need! C’est la vie

Ian I think you took this picture from your kayak….

Hier

Hier (yesterday) we had choices .. and today, we will be presented with different opportunities, which road will you take? We can only go forward…. we need to let go of yesterday and live in the NOW (Present)

The past leads to now, and now leads to the future

Life is an accumulation of moments ….. Cherish each one.

pumpkins

Time for pumpkin pies, ginger breads, when we walk by a bakery the spicey aromas are so inviting. Yesterday I met a man who was gathering heaps of decorations, he has a discarded Xmas tree, he is going to put it up on his front lawn decorated with Halloween and fall decor. Yup, its time for the corn brooms to be taken out and prepared for moonlight flights…

I feel the energy in the shops… in a few places even the Xmas decor is making an appearance.

Today’s calendar

You’re happy, I’m happy

Have the mindset of “good for you, good for me” Express yourself in a way that makes others happy.

PL2021.7

Have a happy and joy filled day. Stay safe.

Work well with everyone

The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solution’s, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders

Have you ever

Dreamed of being in outer space, and what it would be like if you could snap your fingers and be somewhere else. These days of interworld travel (via internet) we can be anywhere, and in any period of time. the other day I was in outer space on a floating inter galactic space pad. Last night I was in 1890 Colorado, the old west.. with circus clowns, tents and side shows.

Ok not the same as being stuck in rush hour traffic on the trans whatever highway in modern times. going 20-30 mph in a 100 mph lane.

Still wherever you are, or whoever you are with, time travel hasn’t arrived yet, But we can dream … stuck in traffic we can listen to music, chat with a friend (hands free)………… but ……………… do you take time from whatever you are doing, or need to do…………. to just sit quietly and RELAX with no radio/TV/computer/cell phone? Do you find time to build inner strength, appreciate friendships, sooth mounting stress?

I found a video the other day on YouTube that is just a picture of a fire burning in a fireplace… and… the only sound is that of the wood crackling in the fire. Awwwwww so so relaxing. No hauling of the wood, or having to go find firewood….. then tend it.. all I had to do was sit, close my eyes and enjoy the moment. What a delight….

Do everything with a prayerful mind.

Even if you have done your very best, there are times when you wonder if it is enough. That is when your prayers become most important.

Com Quem Contar, a song from the PL Songbook -Portuguese/Brazil -photo is of Ottawa church.

You can learn from anyone

There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience. Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinion.

Bom Dia everyone… Make today YOUR day… S M I L E

A Door, doors are built to allow us access to a building and then to leave it. While we are inside, we are protected from the elements and the world outside.. The door is our method of returning to the outside world and the chaos and cacophony that is forever trying to invade and influence our “Quiet “‘

The door comes in a wide variety of colours even shapes and sizes, the dictionary says it is a “a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard.” I have seen doors that are imposing and others that are just sturdy and practical. Think about it … where would we be with a door.?

PL thought 2017.18

Welcome the new while respecting the old

Every generation brings forth new and positive changes, but also relies on the wisdom of the past. Be able to appreciate both and take the best from each.

PL2017.18

Unless you live in a cave.. in everyone’s life there is a door. your thoughts?
