Sax

Yesterday was National Sax Day in the USA, It was interesting to hear a song I knew always played by a tenor sax, being played with an alto.. same musician was delivering the song, different date. Each instrument lent a different “story” to the music. I found myself hearing and feeling totally different reactions to the piece. I contemplated on this later… how one person can interpret a song one way with one instrument and yet have it be almost a totally different experience when that same song is delivered with a different instrument .. and at a different time/place.

Like watching a fire burn … beautiful in all its stages, same fire, but always different. hmffpph .. LIFE IS.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings

memories

The mind gathers up and stores the many moments we live. Some are easily found .. and others elude us for years till something happens that recalls or brings back that moment in time .. Other moments are dropped into a memory pocket with others, and all we get later is a vague glimpse into… a moment lived/shared.

Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness.

confession

Same area, just weeks apart, drum roll, It is dark in the mornings when I get up, very dark, yesterday when I left it was too dark, today I’ll wait a bit before leaving. I got to the feeders and no one was there to greet me. The sleepy heads heard me and slowly began to arrive, but they were not their chatty selves, there was a lot of grumbling (Ok I might embellish a bit) But they were not their busy busy selves. Bless the little chickadees they were present and greeted me through the grayness of the morning.

Now.. listen up. I have never been a wonton soup fan. In fact I don’t recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. EVER. in Costco the other day, I was getting my shrimp Sui Mi dumplings, and a lady and her friend came to the area and began taking out the wonton soup packages that were displayed beside my Sui Mi. The lady couldn’t say enough about the soup and she and her friend took several boxes. I smiled took my purchase and left. However… the conversation stayed with me.. she had been very enthusiastic. and I love shrimp dumplings. (this wonton soup is filled with shrimp dumplings).

I confess to being at a time in my life where I am not overly keen on making dumplings anymore, or cooking anymore than I have to….. so.. when I went for my top of shrimp dumplings the other day, I took a box of the wonton soup. (6 individual servings per box). I have now gone back and purchased more TWICE because I am having a bowl of wonton soup for breakfast, at lunch and maybe even as a snack later, AND … I bought a box yesterday and already I’ve gone through half of it. Thankfully, I am hoping that this phase will pass. When my husband was still alive, at this time of year he liked the Costco French onion soup .. I never bothered, as I said I was not a soup person. I let him have all the portions. Well…I bought a box of the French onion soup yesterday too. AND its pretty good…….

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

day of Peace

Change…. we are still in the fall, this snow will likely disappear before the hard core snow arrives, It was so peaceful in the parking lot when I took this picture, Temperatures had dropped, there was no one else around, I was able to take my time and enjoy the moment,

In PL we live with the philosophy that if everyone could learn to express themselves artistically, all the wars around the world would cease, leading to a peaceful society, We believe that in respecting one another and working for each other’s happiness, world peace could be achieved. PL Precept #14 World peace is everything.

Today in PL we have a ceremony (the 1st of each month) called the Day of Peace. it will be held at 10:00 a.m. EST.

Each Person’s peace leads to world peace. First of all, you have to be happy. That happiness will spread and be the foundation of World Peace.

today

Girls wanna have fun. Remember when we played dress up.. what movies do you watch, what captures your imagination.. Today everyone has license to dress up and have fun, its Halloween. People add colour and fun to their appearance to go to work, wear costumes representing a popular game character, or super hero, there have been parties going on all weekend. You got a costume in mind?

Mother Nature had her own bit of fun, she gave us a sprinkling of snow.

Be Flexible to Change. A flexible way of thinking and responding is one of the keys to getting along with others,.

Makoto

It has been raining these past few mornings, still the little ones come for breakfast, Photographer Jim Robertson was out the other morning, and captured these two regulars. (https://adobe.ly/3QB6AOc ) It never fails to amaze me how sweet and friendly the little critters are. The Chipmunks can be hard to see as they gather up the corn, nuts, seeds amongst the leaves. The nuthatch can be bold… but usually behaves when strangers come by,

Put Makoto even into small things, Don’t let things go with “oh well” you will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) in all you do.

left-right

You can travel along .. enjoying the view, if you look left, you get a beautiful view of the fall colours, if you look to the right.. a totally different sight meets your eyes. In life we are faced with such situations often in one day … Sometimes it is verbal not visual, but it comes down to choice. How do you cope or accept the opportunities that come your way,.

“When you get stuck, take a step back.. When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom,”

“The turning point is now. Life is a sequence of moments called now. You have the key to turn yourself around,”

Oct fun

Sometimes we have to go into the night and dance .. ” no one is watching” and if they are, who cares!… Let the moment happen, enjoy the freedom of movement and space.

Yesterday I finally got to have my BD lunch with my niece and nephew. It was the last day of the Moon Festival offerings at our favourite buffet. 3/4 of this plate is filled with shrimps cooked in different ways, the green beans you can see, I got a couple of slices of ginger beef, and same with the salt and pepper pork. The only noodle is the decoration you see on top, Notice I did take a piece of corn on the cob that sits in a lovely butter sauce in the heating trays.

I know. Last bd meal for this year!!!

Being asked for a favor is a chance. When someone asks for a favor from you,, this is a chance for you to help others. Face the chance proactively,

I love the colour, the costumes, the sharing of creativity that happens in October, https://pin.it/2Ac7aiV click on it if you dare….. Have a great start to the week everyone,

a yummy treat!

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

Gratitude

Years ago now I was given a copy of You can Heal your life by Louise L. Hay…. it took me awhile, but one day I picked the book up and opened it.. page 123… chapter 14 … the Body…” I believe we create every so-called “illness” in our body. The body, like everything else in life is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. The body is always talking to us, if we will only take the time to listen. Every cell within your body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak”

Well.. what a surprise, the Universe is always a step ahead of us. I needed to hear those words, it is also my thinking and what I believe.. but having a total stranger to me, mirror that message back to me.. made me aware that I had gotten lazy, I was letting the world around me influence MY personal well being.

In PL… Precept 15 All is a mirror.

Today being the 21st. we will be holding the Day of Appreciation service (formerly Thanksgiving) we do this every month on the 21st. Today there will be a service at 10 a.m. and one at 7 pm.

Be Grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.
