2021/12/09 [True joy] You won’t be able to enjoy real joy (the joy of the soul) if you try to get pleasure by taking it easy, such as “Is there anything good? The joy of being able to solve difficulties and difficult problems, and the joy of being able to do something that pleases others, are the real joy that no one can take away. -translated in Japan .. PL lesson for the 9th.
Deck the halls and bring out the holly, everyone is so jolly and bright, especially when they think of the coming holidays and how wonderful it will be to visit and celebrate with friends and family. No matter the reason, this is a time when there is a lot of social “happenings’ Keep in mind that not everyone is in a position to celebrate, or can. More than ever we need to be aware of the world around us.
Energy springs from your smile. A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

Reminder – tomorrow December the 5th, will be the first anniversary of our 3rd founder’s passing. There will be a special ceremony and service at the church at 10 a.m. If you are able to attend, please do so, otherwise offer a silent prayer from home.

When every door is given a special decoration – there isn’t a door in the house that isn’t showing off a beaming “happy holidays” decoration. The owners of this special haven get better and better each year at pulling together a look that shouts “HAPPY HOLIDAYS’ to everyone who passes by, or has the pleasure of an actual indoor tour.
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.

A home says a lot about the people who live in them. This home is filled with love and joy of many many bouncing whippets and borzoi …
I am very blessed to have these two human beings in my life and consider them family. I’m so proud of what they do and the love they give to each and every little heart that comes into their lives.
Till soon. This is the month to shine with holiday decorations, but the love that we shine out to the world with our smiles/friendships is priceless.

Tell me that again will you.. did you say what I think I heard,
or did you explain and I wasn’t listening – sometimes I do hear the words, but what they say to me, and what they are trying to convey – well. there is a discrepancy .. not sure what it is. but I know there is a disconnect. right side up, or upside down, makes no matter if the chatter is simply noise spoken into the wind.
Be a person who can say “I like it!” Find what moves you the most and express your appreciation.
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.

Guess who got out into the woods today… It was on the cool side, the water had a layer of ice on the top, snow lay in some areas, the chill was present. No matter, I loved it.
Do things joyfully. Instead of taking it easy. Enthusiastically engage with what’s in front of you. You’ll enjoy it more.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion, will one day become a reality.
Sometimes the urge to use my camera is just more than I can stand… I can’t be the only one in the world addicted to the sound that shutter click. You can see it was a bright, sunny morning. Alas, I had an errand to run, and church was at 10 a.m. soooo.. camera got to stay home.
Reminder, we have service on Dec. 1. Wednesday 10:a.m. and then Sunday 5th. December, will will have a special memorial service, in lieu of regular Sunday service. It is the anniversary on the passing of the 3rd Founder.
Be careful about saying “It’s probably good enough.” Wholeheartedly do what you notice, when and how you notice it.
Does light filter through an unwashed window… yes it does… With the days shorter, and the nights longer, on sunny days when the sunlight streams through the sunroom windows, the room takes on a dazzling delight of coloured rays that give the room a festive quality – yes that is one the delights of the winter months in my home. From the moment I walked into the house those many years ago, the sunroom with all its windows was a “magical” room. Each home should have such a room, We never utilized the room as a functional room, I always decorated and used it as a “canvas” or “feeling” room.
I never wavered from this delight I have in the room. I often will just sit at the fining room chair and just look out the window (this one chair faces the sunroom and its many windows) Its a view I get when emerging from the area of the house where the bedroom and my studio are located, I marvel just catching a glimpse as I walk from one area of the house to another.
Do you have a special nook or area of your home that holds a special meaning to you and you alone? No reason or rhyme, just because…..
It’s okay to think “this is where it starts” There is always a turning point. It’s important what you do from now.
