PL PRECEPT #8 Live as the Sun.

lundi

Has the year of the Dragon been a good one for you so far?

Sunday-dimanche


Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not try to blame others.HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took:

The melody out of music,

The pride out of appearance,

The courtesy out of driving,

The romance out of love,

The commitment out of marriage,

The responsibility out of parenthood,

The togetherness out of the family,

The learning out of education

The Golden Rule from rulers,

The nativity scene out of cities,

The civility out of behavior,

The refinement out of language,

The dedication out of employment,

The prudence out of spending,The ambition out of achievement.

Received this in my morning mail. thought I’d share. why not! Anything resonate with you?

in passing. with the cooler weather I went in search of a piece of gingerbread…(from a gingerbread loaf, not cookies) None found!

Enjoy your day today, whatever you get up to.

PL Precept # 21 Live in Perfect Liberty

BE where you want to BE

Do what you want to do.

Make time for YOU.

Charity begins at home.

Saturday

It’s in the air… I even have the urge to do another autumn junk journal or wicked multi media piece. Doesn’t that hint of October that is tainting the air… send a delightful chill up your spine. I see the Halloween stores have already begun to set up. Gotta dust off my broom today….. find my hat, especially now I live with a cat!

Friday

Drove to Montreal yesterday, this is the vista that greeted me along most of the highway along the 40 corridor. Especially as I got closer to the border. The cool snap we’ve been having is affecting the vegetation. Going to be a magnificent display over the next weeks or so. Time to go exploring!

Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serve to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself. (PL2015.30)

Driving along the highway, a route that had been so familiar to me a few years back. I realized how long it had been since I had let the miles roll past me .. heading out of the city… on a day of exploration. Alone with my thoughts, I found that my mind wanted to be where it was content. It was actually a very nice feeling to realize that I was feeling happy and positive… true… I could still feel that I was wanting to “get somewhere” when really I had no where I needed to be. at least not right away.

We come from NO where, drive into NOW here…. only to head back to where we started, NO Where … It is all about spacing.

I used to drive and formulate or work out my “projects” practice my “talks” “presentations” alone in the car I can even sing off key. But yesterday was a day for silence and letting my thoughts wander to happy feelings where emotions and intimacies featured in the “interesting” reels that played out against the backdrop of the burgeoning fall colours. The outing reminded me.. slowing down, is important,, there is no need to always “have” to “get things done” at top speed.

I attended a podcast by a Rabbi yesterday… when we step outside our comfort zones, we can discover and learn a lot about a subject we think we already “know about”.

I also learned that one needs to clean the straw being used to drink ice coffee… yuck accumulates .. ugh. I did /do have special brushes to do so.. I just wasn’t doing it!!!

Monday

Let’s Express our joy to others.

When you express our joy to others, the joy will multiply, and make others happy as well. (PL2017.26)

Things begin to happen the moment you decide. “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude. (PL2017.6)

“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)

All that we are is a result of what we have thought. – Buddha

Enjoy your day everyone! Smile, This is your day!

No two doors are the same, no two people are the same, YET

Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement, (PL2023.22)

Everyday, we walk by doors and never see them. How many times have you walked by someone and not even been aware you’d done so… or … you see people all around you YET…. you cannot recognize or identify anyone you just passed. We have become so used to having “busy” around us, that we “tune out” and often are so wrapped up in our own thoughts.. we miss “the” moment.

The picture bottom left, When I first saw it, I was captured by the closed door and the open entrance right beside it. on closer inspection, I saw that they had different house numbers. Right away, I thought, “which entrance would I want to explore?” Do you have a preference?

I have learned over the years… to never judge a book by its cover.… what doorway would inspire a story from you today?

Put your heart into whatever you do, and you will find joy in it. If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it. (PL2012.19)

Good morning… hello… bonjour… bom dia …

Remember this picture from yesterday? How many of you saw the bird?


The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important, but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face every task with wholehearted enthusiasm. (PL2012.2)
