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.

Trauma, drama, changes we have no control over, life is full of opportunities to “live and learn” on the 21st in PL it is a time for special dedicated time for renewing our determination to live “the PL Way”

. Pl Precept #1 Life is Art.

During the Thanksgiving Service, (Day of Appreciation) we humbly express our appreciation for all the blessings of the past month and sincerely ask to be guided and protected in the coming month.

We all have had experiences and moments in life when we have been ”tested” “pushed to impossible limits” and we survived.. It is in these character building moments that we learn about ourselves and how we are able to “roll with the punches”. WE do! Every moment is a “gift”.

As long as you are motivated to learn more, you will continue to progress in life,

one by one

Handle things that come your way one by one. Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently this way.

how we perceive

When you look what do you see? When you listen what do you hear?

You can learn from anyone. There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience, Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinions,
Perfect Liberty 2015.18

Have you been rushing around trying to get things done? Are you constantly on the go? Let’s take a moment to sit together, come on, you are at having a moment to look over incoming missives.. let’s just sit together for a moment. I’ll close my eyes, you close yours.. take a deep breath.. and just let this moment BE .. slowly exhale, and wait .. count to 10 may be even 15 till you open up your peepers again.

Big smile.. did you feel the quiet envelope you. It s a feel good moment, just for you.

Share a smile with someone today, no reason,, just because…

aren’t they cute, their lives are just beginning.

They won’t be encumbered by the constant chatter of “noise” that we humans contend with in our daily lives, but they will have their own share of “dangers” - Carry goodwill to all, in all you say and do.. always.

soon

Soon I can tramp through the wilderness to meet up with “old friends” In chatting with fellow “birders” yesterday I was reminded of my trek along the river bank in a secluded area, when I came across this beauty. It was snowing yesterday, with a chill wind, but that didn’t stop one of the “gals” from chasing after a minx who teased us by running past us in a great hurry to “?” Life is a wonderful adventure, each day is a new chapter…. Enjoy whatever you get up to today!

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate,

snow anyone?

Please note .. this is NEW snow, that snow from the other day, was all gone .. yesterday my driveway was clean of snow. What you see here is new from last night and ongoing at the moment. I did try to shovel a path to the street so I could see if the street itself was plowed. It isn’t. In shoveling my way to the street, just a path to walk .. I created a mound in the middle of the lane, that was waist high. Needless to say, even if I wanted to.. I can’t get out of the garage, when I cleared in front of the garage door, I was left with a pile of snow to back out over that was higher than my waist, I stand 5’3″…..

Keeper when I opened the back door for her, just turned her head and looked back at me, the expression so clearly said… “you are kidding me right?” Sadly I had not cleared a foot path for her, and she needed to go, so she had to solider on. (I’ve seen taken the shovel and made a small path for her to at least get off the deck … We’ve had over a foot of snow and it is still falling. Temperatures are going to get milder, with the snow changing to rain…

Guess who is staying home. Will have to call and cancel my 9 a.m.

Face challenging situations with positive determination. When you encounter difficulties, Boldy take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.
Perfect Liberty 2019.13

On the positive, it was only snow, no freezing rain to coat the trees and hydro wires.. causing potential black outs. etc. I did not hear of power outages in the area.. but I haven’t listened to the news either .. I was focused on seeing if I could get out..

Where-ever you are, be safe, and enjoy the day. Smile, it is contagious.

Welcome, come in, sit … make yourself comfortable… when the words and the visual you are presented with don’t quite “gel”….

“Can I get your something? We like to make sure our “client/customers” are happy with the service we are providing.” I know I’m not alone in finding that in today’s world what the advertisements and promotional photos say and what you actually end up with,.. are no where even near what you expected.

It is interesting because it is difficult. In order to overcome difficulties in your life, you need to think hard and be creative. That is why life is always interesting. (PL 2016.12)

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity,

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

Take time to not only see the obvious, when what is being proposed/suggested leaves you with a “sense” something isn’t what it seems, trust your instinct.

Do you ever feel like you are all alone waiting… Do you look around and “see” what was, and not what IS?

Some days, we walk around and go about our daily activities, but the world around us is not what it used to be… and we are not wanting to let go.. Maybe it is time to step back, and reconsider what we really want in life and where we “Need” to be… so that we can move on.

Give your best effort with a prayerful mind. Even if you’ve given your best effort, you may still have missed something important, Continue to have a prayerful mind even after you have completed the task at hand.

Today is a brand new day, What will you do with it?
