Your life is a part of the bigger world beyond you. Start with your surroundings and spread peace to the world around you.
Spread your love beyond your borders, out to the entire world. Our world is overflowing with problems. Let’s pray not only for those around us, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today!
Let’s find the good in others and praise them.
All people have good qualities and bad qualities. Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.
Let’s look at and listen to others with an open mind
Your judgement becomes clouded when you look at a situation or person with preconceived notions. Observe them for what they actually are.
Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. We, each one of us, has our own unique personality and life style. Each one of us has concerns that cannot be resolved easily. Problems that may seem trivial to others may be a serious problem for you. there is always a way. Look at and listen to others with an open mind. Let’s find the good in others and praise them.

Blessings, happiness, good health and good fortune to everyone
Let your gratitude show in your words and actions.
When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud. (PL2017.21)
I saw there was a bend in the road ahead, should I go straight or take the turn and see where I land? Ever wonder what is around the bend? Driving along the long dusty road, I was enjoying the view, but there was a temptation to see something new.
Life can be overwhelming at times. Not everyday is a holiday, and not everyday, can friends come out and play.
“Now” is always the start of something new. Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress (PL2014.24)
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)
When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too. (PL2017.12)
It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.
Be free of your attachments…
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible. (PL2017.11)
seasons are changing the only constant in life is change.
Oyashikiri
*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO
With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do.
Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something. With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights. (PL2014.7)

I have discovered puzzles of doors and doorways architecture etc. on my cell phone..!!
You looking for more doors? Did you see yesterday’s blog I drove over 12 hours in one day to find those doors… (Oomomo) some doors open to a world of discovery. (Japan Living)
On my wish list of things to do, was to visit Oomomo (Japan Living) in the Markham area of Toronto. I can now cross this item off my “TO DO” list . Since my last visit to Japan, where I frequented the Daiso store there … I wanted to once again, wander the aisle and be back in that wonderful store. It was a good feeling to know that I had accomplished one of my “want to do” items. I was tired, yes, and it was challenging to me at times, but, I did it!!!!
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation.
Always remember that you are here today thanks to “Universe” and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude. (PL2014.6)
Mid week! -kick up and have a great day!
