strolling

Early morning stroll through the woods was amazingly peaceful. I saw another ermine, many squirrels, chipmunks, and I can’t swear to what it was, but it was an animal, bigger than a squirrel, black, sleek with white streaked by me through the thickets, under a raised foot path, and into an area of brush. Because it was a rich black satin and there was a lot of white, I thought of a skunk, but.. skunks I’ve seen in the past, waddle, and have girth, this animal was sleek. What few people I did see were off in the distance, on another trail. Any ideas? It was fast and ran like the ermine does.. a graceful leaping action.

The weather forecasters are calling for even higher temperatures over the next couple of days. There was little to no snow in the woods, with the ongoing balmy weather, we should be seeing a lot of new growth soon. I’ve almost depleted my sunflower seeds.. I left the squirrel to his breakfast, the supply will simply disappear by next visit.

Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

Canada Geese

What can I say, I went out without a camera, the Nikon and the Canon were left hanging on their hooks… never even entered my mind to have them with me. Then I found myself alone in the sun with two Canada Geese who were happy to spend time with me preening and dining. I got to see the underside of the bird as it dived down to forage from the lake bed. No camera and none of my photographer friends in sight. Thankfully I had my cell (Samsung) so I did manage a couple of pictures, and I took a couple of videos.. however, I have no idea how to transfer them from the phone to my PC… eventually.. I’ll get there. =^_^=

An hour on my own with them before other humans came along, and they took flight. There is something to be said about experiencing the “wild” and the natural “harmonies” that abound in nature with out the jarring sounds that humans and their “toys” make.

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.

but.. it’s Tuesday

Don’t think “I Can’t” from the start. Begin by taking the first step, then you’ll be able to see what comes next and a path will open .

Perfect Liberty 2021.6

Aceite, justamente por es tar atarefado. Take on the task even though you’re busy. Eastar ocupado significa estar sendo necessario. You’re busy because you are needed.

Perfect Liberty 2020.7

When you least expect it. The sun will shine, a friend will call or drop in (these days it will be connect/text) Always you will know you are not alone, you need only be open to the Universe around you. Oyashikiri

Always and forever

Listen carefully and Speak Clearly

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.

Perfect Liberty 2021.5

Sometimes, one is engulfed in a sadness or an over powering emotion that simply defies definition. There is not always a black and white solution. A caring partner/listener will do his/her best to not only listen to what is being said, but to read between the lines, about what is not being said.

The longer a friendship exists, the more the other person can understand and or relate to what their friend is going through, how much that person will actually “say out loud” and /or even acknowledge. Caring isn’t something we can pretend to do, sincerity in word/action is something that cannot be “faked”.

“Listen” and “see” with careful attention and accept each other. Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without preconceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.

love is unconditional

love is not spoken it is felt

I am strong

I have seen, I have grown, I live on

I am not one, but many, yet alone I would not be the picture of life that I am today.

Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.

We welcome you today with joy. Bem-vindo seja que alegria

Happiness can be found in this world A felicidade pode estar nesse mundo

Always trust in God Sempre em Deus a confiar

PL Precept #21 Live in Perfect Liberty – Viva na verdadeira liberdade

21 Preceitos da PL
taking flight, straight into the blue – I carry prayers for you.

Wednesday !!!

drudgery

You can get all dressed up, do your hair, pretend its going to be a glamour day, but no matter how you cut the cake, if there is work to be done, or matters to be attended to that aren’t fun… You have to set your mind to the task and get it done.

giving a presentation can be fun, interesting and certainly if it is appreciated .. rewarding

Usually there is always a lot of hard work and effort that goes into putting/pulling something off in a seamless fashion, or presenting a “brilliant” feature documentary. For a brief time we can look very professional and maintain a certain air of efficiency and know how. BUT, we all need down time, and we all, each and everyone of us, needs time to regroup, to be still, to reconnect with our inner Selves.

Catching up and sharing time with friends.. that is IMPORTANT too. Here Alo was visiting with Sister Qu who is the resident hokyoshi (assistant minister) at the PL Center in Second Life. http://www.secondlife.com

The teachings of PL, the 21 Precepts and 21 Principles, are what help us navigate through the world we live in today… Stay in touch with what grounds you… what keeps you mentally and physically alert and positive. Life is too important to squander.

PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror Todo es espejo

PL Precept #11 Always be with God. Confie todo a Dios.

Obrigado PL por me ensinar amar assim Por ver Deus dentro de mim e em qulquer lugar

Thank you PL for teaching me to love, to see God within me, and everywhere around.

From my home to yours – Love now and always

With one thought, “the world” will change. Changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.

WAITING

How many of us are spending time waiting. In my area, it seems that everyone around in different provinces or States have had their first, even some have had both of their shots. Meanwhile, we wait.

I’ve tried reading, I was as you know going out and feeding the birds, but now with the change in the weather, they are doing just fine.

Time is spent thinking, wondering when there will be a more balanced approach to how we spend our time, even catching up with friends in person, instead of by phone or virtual calls.

Even having the shot will not mean life will just return to “what it was” No, there will still be the need for masks and social distancing. Today there was segment on the radio about how the animals, especially dogs will adapt (not) when their humans return to working outside the home.

Now more than ever, we need to live being aware of the good, positive “things” “happenings” in our lives. The quote I posted yesterday, resonated with me then and even more today.

A thankful heart leads to happiness. When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate things.

Look forward to what’s ahead. There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.

Found

Hmmmm .. these appeared on my desk…. I know they are for something or other, and that they insert into my PC thing on my desk. The fact that they had been taped so carefully to the top of the file cabinet next to me, means that I didn’t want to loose them. A puzzle to start the day. Oh look a word with two z’s in it. hmmmm can I use that in “Words with Friends” probably not, I don’t recall ever seeing more than one Z when I’ve been playing. I’m beginning to sound like a humming bird.

Because I found these two items, does that mean that they were lost?

Since my desk was moved, my light doesn’t work…. hummm was the cord somehow unplugged, or is the bulb broken??? Darn it could be “one of those days”

“”light bulb” I found a wireless keyboard the other day… I wondered then, how would I get it to work if I wanted to use it… hmmmm would one of these thing a-ma bobs… talk to the keyboard… I wonder….

I think… I will keep Precept #16 in my mind…. ALL THINGS PROGRESS AND DEVELOP

and if EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT Precept #18 I will wait for Precept #19 BEGIN ONCE YOU PERCEIVE to deal with these two objects.

I ask you, is this a form of procrastination? or is it my mind being lazy?

Like these footprints in the snow, what we do each day makes an impression that will last only as long as that moment in time allows. As we move forward in life continue to break new ground.

You can freely express yourself within the rules. Consider rules as a canvas on which to express your specialty artistically.

It is important to say “thank you”. Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself whether its food, people or things. Learn to accept everything, whether it is something you like or not.

melancholy

some days one just wants to stay home

NO, not because one is sad, or out of sorts, nor is it a bad day. It just isn’t a sparkling moment. That warm comfortable zone when you lie half asleep, semi awake….. your precious friend is nestled beside you… breathing softly still in dreamland. when you move, she shifts ever so slightly to maintain that contact.. you can see the sliver of light coming in between the gap in the curtains… It is time to get up. another day is calling.

There is always a solution. Always believe that there is a solution to any problem that comes your way, and work with conviction to solve it.

Perfect Liberty 2016.20

Take care of things as they come to your attention. When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.

Perfect Liberty 2016.8

The crows and birds await my attendance… Have a grand day everyone… Let’s all make today a success, we will start the week off with a super fab. productive and HAPPY day!
