light and shadows

Being sidelined these past weeks has meant that I have had plenty of time to visit and revisit some of my creative endeavors that I’ve played around with over the last couple of months. In particular it has given me time to work on the Christmas greetings that I have to have ready to send over seas. The new year is fast approaching, and if mail (snail) is to get overseas in time for the holidays, I need to meet the postal deadlines set by our postal system to ensure that mail will arrive on time. Last year there was a huge rush and a lot of delays depending on the country you were mailing to. Check with your local postal authorities for the deadlines this year.

We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important, your effort is what is truly precious.

Sometimes an overcast day provides the best natural lighting to evoke a mood or an ambiance that is soothing and calm…..

In the quiet of the moment – now becomes forever

Friday

blue spruce today – I love this tree

Then and now… when we love … we love forever… I found this tree years ago, and every year since I planted it, I’ve watched it grow and spread its branches. I never tire of my appreciation for its presence in my life.

Let’s begin today with a smile. Let’s stat the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover

The door

We all have a door that has been closed and locked for some time, so long in fact, you’re not sure when the last time you opened it and went inside.

Maybe it is just one of many doors and windows you’ve boarded up and turned away from. These doors may be closed and boarded up, but what is inside, and the memories and emotions that were experienced, and given birth to behind these doors, they remain hazy discarded objects in dusty corners of our minds.

With time, the door finally simply disappears or opens and what can be found inside, is often vacant space and long forgotten pieces of yesterday that no longer have meaning in your/our world today.

There is always another door, one that is inviting, or beckoning, From my experience, when a door opens, you cannot escape that reality that you will face. Just because there is a door .. doesn’t mean it is meant for you. Some door we are meant to enjoy from a distance. They are part of someone else’s “storyline” The “secrets” they hold .. belong in another book,

You will recognize the doors that will welcome you, when you cross the threshold you will know and feel the positive and healing energies… We all have such doors in our lives… sometimes we tend to pass them without thought, other times, perhaps we need to make time to reacquaint ourselves with what lies beyond, it is only in facing and cleaning out cobwebs that fresh air can penetrate and cleanse.

When we declutter, when we face our troubles, only then can we see clearly to move ahead and past our “self imposed” limitations.

There will always be a way If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that, you had not considered before.

Nov.11.

Today in Canada it is Remembrance Day… at one time it was called Armistice day, Always we are faced with changes. how we handle them, is a reflection on our own personal philosophies. Being that it is also in PL the day we have a special service for honoring and offering appreciation for our ancestors, it is a very special day indeed.

Reminder in our area all commercial shops will be closed, opening only at 12:30 pm/ Federal and Provincial offices are closed, Due to circumstances, check local listings for what and how special services and Remembrance Day activities will be held, and where.

The past leads to now and now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each one.

Wednesday- PL WAY

PL Peace Tower -Japan

Your life is your very own unique work of art. If you cut corners or miss important details, you will not be able to live up to your fullest potential. If you fail to see what is important or miss a vital step, the value of your artistic life will be declined. It is important to put your heart into even the smallest of matters reminding yourself that each small amount accumulates into the whole of your artistic life.

PL Members’ Guide

Life is Art

PL Precept # 1

To Live is to express One’s Self

PL Precept # 2

Did you know that the first founder of PL, Rev. Tokuharu Miki, was formerly a buddhis priest> In 1912, he met Rev Tkumitsu Kanada who instantly cured his chronic asthma through the “Sacred rite of Ofurikae” So profoundly affected was Rev. Tokubaru Miki he became his disciple. At that time in Japan, tuberculosis was one of the deadliest diseases, Rev Miki wanted to apply his learning and the principles of Rev. Kanada’s teachings in helping the young/old deal with this deadly disease that was taking so many lives.

There is much to learn from knowing our history, and appreciating the lessons learned by our ancestors. Tomorrow, the 11th. in all PL churches there will be a 10:a.m. service honoring our Ancestors’. Ancestors’ Day – the 11th of each month -a ceremony where we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for their protection and guidance so we can continue to live the PL WAY.

true love

one of my past dolls

When someone else’s happiness is my happiness, then I will have understood the meaning of love.  ·  –

Quando a alegria de outra pessoa for minha alegria, então terei entendido o significado de amar.

I love the PL philosophy!

There is always something else around the corner – keep moving forward – believe/trust your inner intuition

World Peace does not invite people just by praying… praying for peace is important, but let’s take concrete action. Efforts and sincere actions to create harmony, not only in the home but also in the workplace and community, will lead to world peace.

Good morning everyone, being Thursday, for all my fellow door buff, please visit Dan’s site No Facilities https://nofacilities.com/2021/11/04/st-scholastica-doors/

in the woods

A friend returned to the area, she obviously pulled it out of the area I had felled it in, and put it up against the tree on the other side of the feeding area. Friends are invaluable treasures!

It was my first time out on my own… I was careful, however, what did my day in was that when I got home I decided to do a wash (laundry) and had to do the stairs several times.. That gave my leg its last hurrah, it shoved back… it is now back in an upper brace, to assuage the swelling.. and I will rest and put it up to let it regain the steps it lost yesterday!!!

However the outing itself was “awesome” I loved the solitude and welcome silence of the woods as I entered. I was able to feel the freshness and smell the fallen leaves. This is my favourite time of year. The blue jay with his brilliant blue and white plumage came to the party, and sang his delight at finding the peanuts. They (the birds) didn’t reprimand, they were joyous in their acceptance of fresh seed.

Speaking of food, hmmm its breakfast time… =^_^=

Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.

A light bulb moment

We all have these moments

Just try me! *

The moment you realize that the person you are talking to, is not on the same page.

Be a person who can say “I like it!” Find what moves you the most and express your appreciation.

Life has its moments… Some we respond to in a more positive manner than at other times.

Remember once we speak something out loud, it cannot be taken back.

everyone without exception has feelings.
