When one is in the middle of a move, not much thought is given to meals… I just grab what is easy, and chomp it down. Not good when you are diabetic. Not good at any time really. Last night I had a reminder that neglecting one’s intake of water, & eating properly at decent intervals is not good! But then, Like magic …I heard an echo… a voice of calm that centered me… lulling the restless mind into a calm zone.. I fell asleep and actually slept till almost 3. There is so much to think about and do, I did manage to get back to sleep and wake up feeling rested.
Face challenging situations with positive determination
When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively find solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

In life there are always choices… it helps to focus on what is happening in that moment, what you are thinking an how you feel, before making decisions that will impact you going forward.
Cheers everyone,. till soon.

What a hoot!! Let’s see if you can tell which house is mine ?
Ok everyone now knows I’ve put the house up for sale… the once quiet residential area I fell in love with, has become a very different place, with a totally unfamiliar vibe. The real-estate agents listed it yesterday, there is now a sign in my front yard. Thanks Bonnie for looking up the listing for me.
I have had many encouraging messages, for that I thank you, it has been a mouthful for sure. There are a lot of memories associated with the place. When we bought, the property was bare of vegetation. There is a cherry tree that gives an abundance of cherries every spring, and in early spring there is a Saskatoon Berry tree with amazing berries. The birds, love the trees and visiting the property. I will miss them. There is even a rabbit that lives somewhere in the neighbourhood, spends a lot of time in my front yard. (wonder why)
In the back I have a maturing magnolia, maple, evergreen, and an assortment of other small trees and vegetation… In my new place (apartment) I have an outdoor patio, with a hedge .. that will be my greenery. All things must evolve and we must embrace new beginnings.
It all begins with your determination
Things begin to happen the moment you decide. “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude.

Evolve – develop gradually… the birds have landed ..they have taken up residence in a beautiful landscaped private garden.. where they get to hear the water flowing, enjoy the sunshine No more having to deal with cats climbing up/over and around them. they are in the fresh air and will be able to enjoy just being in the moment.
I go and sign the lease today … I’ve booked movers for the 16th. my journey is well underway.

I see I had a typo I missed, a memory from 2008 how basic and different the technology was.. The avatars today look so different, yet back then, the one you see above was thought to me so advanced compared to earlier ones. Life is just a parade of changes.
The weather forecast is for gray, cloudy and cool days even into the week-end. Let’s hope that changes..
Today’s PL message…
Value those who are nearest to you.
It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your partner/spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.
The PL newsletter is out, if you are not on the mailing list, please let Rev. Hiroko know. It will include the calendar of events and special services.

Sometimes when the world just gets too busy – when there is no spaces in the day/night we find ourselves in “overdrive”. It is hard to think clearly when we are bombarded almost 24/7 with chores/tasks/responsibilities. The “Universe” takes over. We get sick, we fall, we have unexpected situations, we have no choice, we have to take a time out. 
When was the last time, now think before you answer…. you gave yourself permission to enjoy quality time for YOU.
No, you don’t have to have that cell phone with you 24/7. No, you don’t have to reply or do something “right away” because that is always what was done. When life gets so busy, you feel overwhelmed… it is OK.. to stop, step back.. and take time for YOU. YOU matter, YOU are important, YOU count. Yes the dishes have to be done, but they can wait, they will not disappear, believe me I know.. No one sneaks into your home to do them for you.
Its cold out, its raining… the mosquitos are bad… blah blah blah. yesterday, I toured a new nursery (to me) a huge indoor greenhouse, tons of happy vegetation, lush green leaves, interesting cacti, in the outdoors area, I got to enjoy Japanese maples, Honey locust trees, evergreens in all shapes and sizes. The herb section was a paradise of delightful scented air. When there is a will there is a way.
Today it is a long sleeve sweater day. We had steamy hot … take it all off .. weather not long ago… This is what life is all about. From one day to the next, it is a new beginning.
In PL, #1 Precept is. Life is Art…. # 2 To live is to express One’s Self. # 7 Everything exists in relativity. # 16 All things progress and develop. # 18 EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT
It all begins with your determination.
Things begin to happen the moment you decide “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude.
Please make time for YOU.

know someone who needs this message.. pass it on.
Value your intuition
When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something you should act upon it right away. PL 2014.19
