Be Cheerful nd Carefree
Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t, just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.

PL calendar day 10
When you are not having fun, could it be because you are being lazy?
Sometime you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything.
At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

Day 8 PL Calendar
First, accept everything
Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.

PL Calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting!”
Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.
“True Religion is real living, living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness an righteousness” Albert Einstein
It is very quiet all around me when there is a deep blanket of snow around every inch of ground that surrounds my home. The emergency vehicles are quiet this morning, the main roads and streets must be decent. Commuters who have deadlines must be either there or almost at their destinations.. The quiet of the moment is refreshing. Yesterday I had a sick day, my body dictated that the end of the lunar year should be one of contemplation and rest. I listened.
Today is a new beginning. In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art, I really and truly believe this, each day is a new canvas, where the possibilities are endless. For you my precious and delightful friends, readers and “family” may the Universe enrich your lives with the delight of new adventure, successful results and endless opportunities for your dreams/ wishes. And, the blessing of wisdom in the knowledge that love is with you, now and always.

A bed lump happens when your dog insists on helping make the bed. Eventually I made it around and over her. All I had was a lump, but then she got out, and left me with this. 
Before I could straighten up the mess. Her brother took over her job of helping. There he is calming cleaning himself up after his breakfast. No hurry to move, and not concerned that he could be delaying my progress. For my readers who share their homes with four-legged bundles of energy, you know that it is often such moments that can be endearing or…. trying on one’s patience.
Whether it is a loved one, a friend, a co-worker or total stranger, there is seldom a day that will go by when our “personal” agenda is not presented with a hiccup.
In PL, Principle #3…. I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things, and Principle # 5 .. I will not get angry at anyone or anything, are mantras I repeat during the day.
Precept # 15 All is a mirror. How often in a day, does my behaviour, or something I say or do, cause someone else to pause.
My Mother used to say, ” it is not always about you”. Over the years I have had many occasion to meditate on my actions, and the world around me, and how I react to it. After all, Dad would say ” the choice is yours, you can let others dictate your mood/happiness, or your can know and appreciate your worth, let go and move on.’
A philosophical morning, you bet!.. to friends in Michigan, is deWitt, or Lansing somewhere that I can get to easily?
For those of you coming to church this morning, I will see you at church. If you are unable to be with us in person, please say a silent prayer for World Peace. Today is Feb. 1st. the first day of the month. Day of Peace service will begin at 10 a.m.
Have a grand day everyone, may it be a productive and rewarding day for you.

This precious handmade hamster, makes my heart sing. She puts a smile in my heart just by sitting there smiling back at me.
The last few days have been difficult for me. I have found myself drifting into a state of “low drive and little interest ” When I could I retreated to my bed, the quiet of a darkened room and the desire to sleep. My sleep mates were only too happy to crawl under cover and enjoy time out from the weather that was raging outside.
Today I had to go out, there were errands that needed doing, so after a lazy start to the day, I took myself off to do what needed doing. When I arrived at the church I was surprised with JOY, the adorable Hula Hamster. Oh what a gift. I melted and was totally taken in by her charm.
Loving caring friendships are priceless. JOY lifted me out of the shadows , back into the sunshine. Olinda weaved a magic spell, I am blown away. Thank you. I am reminded that in life, in a split second, the sun can break through the clouds, and all is right again.
I am so blessed. The Universe always comes through for me, when I allow myself to stumble, my friends are there reminding me, that LOVE, is always with me. God is Love, Love is GOD and we are all ONE

Hula Hamster is handmade and I love her.
It has been snowing now, all day. At least it appears to have been snowing since early this morning, it could have even snowed over night.
Temperature has been nice. The few times I went outside to let the dogs in or out, I found it to be very pleasant.
“we can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses ” Abraham Lincoln
The dogs have pointed me to a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson ” Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”. This is the back yard, their trails have all gone missing…
Some how I do believe they are hinting. Will the human take the hint? One of life’s mysteries.
hmmmm choices, choices.. Till next visit.. hope your day has been simply GRAND.

Finding a balance between past and the present. – Find a good balance between your present and past experiences.
Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcoming in others.
and today’s thought.. PL. day 23rd. Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job. If you accept a task, made the choice, took the option, whatever, own it.
In PL we believe that when things happen to us, always there is a meaning, or a reason, our actions, behaviours brought us to the/that moment.
We are not cast in stone, we are not without feelings, nor are we unaffected by the world around us. Change is the only constant in life, each day, each day, brings a new NOW.

Bom dia everyone, here we are mid-week, how joyful is that. Happy Wednesday ! Share a smile it is your gift to the world
” Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing ” Mother Teresa
Hello, bonjour, bom dia, and jumping jack greetings to each and every one of you. Another new year is just around the corner, In China the airports, train stations, all methods of travel really, are homeward bound. It is exciting, and alive time. Seeing friends and family sharing huge family meals, and gatherings.
Since my Mother’s passing and for several years before she actually passed, the Chinese New Year came and went with a happy conversation and a small sparkle. She was unable to get to the various celebrations held around the city or at the Chinese Embassy. Since I can remember, Chinese New Year has been the BIG turning point for me. I remember as a child the banquet and feasts, the dragon dances, fire crackers and the many many ritual tasks that were preformed to make sure we started the new year off with gratitude for the past year and much appreciation for the wonderful time ahead. Good fortune, Prosperity wishes were everywhere. Red envelopes, special candies, Happy New Year greetings always included the wish that your life be blessed with good health.
With my husband’s passing last year I wanted more than ever for this transition into another year to be auspicious and filled with the many joys and encouragements we would share to be 100 fold. I worked on a year of the pig mixed media piece so that I would be actively piecing together elements that would be like a visual firecracker for me. The lunar new year depending on where you live, is o the 5th. of February.
Ps… my little wheel around the pig. spins.
Reminder.. due to the storm and the broken water pipe, there will be no service today, but Thanksgiving service is still scheduled for tomorrow evening at 7 pm.
