Wednesday

There comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to decide to “come” or “go” .. I have decided that after years of being a home owner, I am going to sell and move to a more genteel style of living. I will leave the home owning, and all that goes with it to a younger generation.

Stop Hesitating

It is more natural for you to be direct and say what is on your mind. Holding back or hesitating is unnecessary.

Your continued efforts will bring happiness

Persevere without giving up. This will lead to great joy in life.

PL2017.27.28

I realized the other day that there is a small bunny living in my front yard. I left it (the front area) to grow however it would in nature, took out lawn and put in ground cover and let the wild flowers grow for the bees etc. I will miss the property, but it is time to leave what had once been a quiet community to the new concrete modern square office like homes that are taking over. Small living spaces, no outside gardens/lawns, just paved/concrete paths, and very very small patches of green.

The only constant in life is change.

There is a Saskatoon Berry tree and a cherry tree in front that offer up a bounty of fruit for the neighbours that used to do jams etc. I expect they will be bulldozed… a shame, but in today’s world it is called progress.

Cheers everyone, till soon.

Turkey talk

I’m listening – really? – showing off – had enough

They really do have personalities, and days when they are social and other days when they want to just “chill”… they really do know how to show off tho’ and that is always fun to watch. (formatting was being difficult, hope that the captions line up when I hit publish.

Let’s interact proactively with an ever-changing society

Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn to deal with them proactively.

New day

Sometimes when the world just gets too busy – when there is no spaces in the day/night we find ourselves in “overdrive”. It is hard to think clearly when we are bombarded almost 24/7 with chores/tasks/responsibilities. The “Universe” takes over. We get sick, we fall, we have unexpected situations, we have no choice, we have to take a time out.

When was the last time, now think before you answer…. you gave yourself permission to enjoy quality time for YOU.

No, you don’t have to have that cell phone with you 24/7. No, you don’t have to reply or do something “right away” because that is always what was done. When life gets so busy, you feel overwhelmed… it is OK.. to stop, step back.. and take time for YOU. YOU matter, YOU are important, YOU count. Yes the dishes have to be done, but they can wait, they will not disappear, believe me I know.. No one sneaks into your home to do them for you.

Its cold out, its raining… the mosquitos are bad… blah blah blah. yesterday, I toured a new nursery (to me) a huge indoor greenhouse, tons of happy vegetation, lush green leaves, interesting cacti, in the outdoors area, I got to enjoy Japanese maples, Honey locust trees, evergreens in all shapes and sizes. The herb section was a paradise of delightful scented air. When there is a will there is a way.

Today it is a long sleeve sweater day. We had steamy hot … take it all off .. weather not long ago… This is what life is all about. From one day to the next, it is a new beginning.

In PL, #1 Precept is. Life is Art…. # 2 To live is to express One’s Self. # 7 Everything exists in relativity. # 16 All things progress and develop. # 18 EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT

It all begins with your determination.

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

Please make time for YOU.

Did you know that PL has a unique way of offering personal guidance? Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals, and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. Thru consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation.

To complain is a waste of your energy.

Whining and complaining will not change anything, Look for the shortcomings in your own thoughts or methods and tackle your problems creatively.

Live life with a smile!

Bom dia

HELLO

Anyone home?

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way.

Where-ever you are, what ever you are doing… be Happy, share your happiness with others.

spring

Spring flowers appearing bringing a burst of colour to otherwise gray skies. The “boys” in the woodlands, showing off for me… I wanted to show you the beautiful heart the male has on his head. It really shows up during mating season. They had their breakfast and were leaving… I caught them going over the fence and called out…” stop.. want to grab a picture.”. the darlings obliged by staying still long enough for me to grab the picture. Aren’t they handsome!

Forest maintenance .. the brush gets too high, scrub trees grow, interfere with hydro lines… this is the time of year that crews come along and clear..

I asked why ….this time of year, …reply.. so that the brush is cleared away before birds come along and build nests. It does open up the area along the side of the road…. for sure it changes the whole look… I will be interested in seeing how it will fill in once the foliage begins to grow.

Meanwhile, I get to gather odds and ends of wood left behind by the crew.. not sure why some wood is taken and some is left behind. Finding odd pieces, I can let them dry, then sculpt them. Just have to find where my carving knives are, they were put a way in a safe place… meaning.. I put them away and can’t find them.

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously, you will be able to find a way to break through. PL2014.26

Have a great day everyone!

Till soon.

expression

Express yourself freely within the rules.

We are able to experience the joy of being creative because we have the framework of laws, morals and rules to follow. Live freely and vivaciously within these rules.

como voi?

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.

Stop

Have a seat – sit a spell

Value those who are nearest you. It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse/family members /friends really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.
