We’ve all been there, we diligently work on a project, only to have someone come along, and ask us to revise portions of what has been done…. Star’s expression…. you what? you would like me to redo all of the first page. Is one that many today, with the ease of modern computers, can redo easily, at one time, when we worked with typewriters… this was not the case. If you missed knowing that era… look it up!
PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
When you walk into a room … then forget what you came in for?
It is easy to get discouraged … PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity
When your world is clouded over, and the fog just won’t clear… Its time for some quiet time – some YOU time, time to take back your calm,, your “balance”… You can do this… I know you can.
Let’s Interact proactively with an ever-changing society.
Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn t deal with them proactively
If your mind is always full ….. how can new ideas filter through…. life is still unfolding.. there is no fixed self,… a conversation can challenge your assumptions… to be open is to be free… the mind like the body, must remain supple… if you are to move with the currents of life.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested
Whenever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance. Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion.
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.
There are pumpkins everywhere these days. the small ones they sell for making pies .. are wonderful cubed and used in stir fries or simply steamed and buttered with your favorite spices.
Your smile energizes the people around you
A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you.
The woodland creatures are waking up, the fresh invigorating breezes are ruffling the colourful leaves, you can feel the crispness creeping in… the skies are a brilliant blue, with startling white clouds lazily floating and drifting… creating delightful panoramas. Drives along open roads with farmlands sprawling on either side of the road, interspersed with woodlands that are waving a multitude of bright red and zesty yellow and oranges are beckoning, The world is a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour.
If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful
Cheerful and happy people naturally attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude.
My joy today was that when I drove to the trail, there was no sign of the turkeys, I called them, and three of them came at my call. I had not been there since the spring… I was most impressed. The picture here was not from today I haven’t transferred to my desk top the ones I took today.. however, I wanted to show you my “babies”… they do make me smile..
A little late today, but .. I woke with a desire to visit the woodlands… so I did.
Do things in moderation
Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.
To make progress do anything while it is still fresh.

These words of wisdom have a message for me… I am a do it now person, I have always been like that, this morning has found me dragging out my medical books and researching and refreshing my “tired’ gray cells on my actions of the past few days.
I woke to the searing discomfort of the neuropathy symptoms all clamoring to express and shout their discontent at having to share my limbs with each other. Nerves screamed, and went into an unwelcome screaming fit. I could barely manage to balance as I made my way to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. I will not bore you with medical terms, the long and short of it was my muscles cramped and toes jerked up in protest… I have learned to quiet the mind and try to still the mounting urgency to rectify the physical reaction that happens when the the tendons and other fellow body parts go into their trauma mode.
I had a small amount of success with calming the body by using a cream infused with magnesium. I had done it faithfully for weeks, and I was having night after night with no symptoms… I got lazy, or forgetful, and took to reclaiming activities/tasks that needed to be done. but I did it all at once, I threw out my support pillow (for under the legs) and then didn’t follow through and get to the store to replace it. That meant I had to use a substitute knee pillow that was not the same angle/depth and composition of what my legs were used to.. I went out the next day and got the correct pillow, but meanwhile, the legs started to grumble…
AND that didn’t trigger or jog my gray cells to remind me to use the magnesium cream after my shower. I allowed myself to be distracted and and and.. I didn’t do it when the thought came to mind, I put it off and of course, it got lost.. I didn’t do it at all.
This morning my body told me in no uncertain terms… “it was not happy” and I had to deal with the fall out.
No its not just the magnesium, there are of course other factors.. but all could have been better planned and executed. … “do it now” when you can, if something comes to mind, and it is something that has shown to be helpful, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING…or not doing… and act accordingly.
Our bodies are our life long companions… we should not take them for granted.
Have a good day everyone…

just because – I bought an exercise stretch band ( the idea was a good one) , help with exercising the arms/shoulders… a good stretch… did I use it.. no it hangs on the back of the door. because I searched it out, found it, brought it home.. if I don’t use it… it is not helping me… right? Right !!!!
Just because – I studied and researched .. gathered info. sought solutions.. if I don’t apply them .. I am not being proactive to my well being… right? right!!!!
