Thursday

“I’ll do it later. No, I’ll do it now”

To make progress do anything while it is still fresh.

PL2921.25

These words of wisdom have a message for me… I am a do it now person, I have always been like that, this morning has found me dragging out my medical books and researching and refreshing my “tired’ gray cells on my actions of the past few days.

I woke to the searing discomfort of the neuropathy symptoms all clamoring to express and shout their discontent at having to share my limbs with each other. Nerves screamed, and went into an unwelcome screaming fit. I could barely manage to balance as I made my way to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. I will not bore you with medical terms, the long and short of it was my muscles cramped and toes jerked up in protest… I have learned to quiet the mind and try to still the mounting urgency to rectify the physical reaction that happens when the the tendons and other fellow body parts go into their trauma mode.

I had a small amount of success with calming the body by using a cream infused with magnesium. I had done it faithfully for weeks, and I was having night after night with no symptoms… I got lazy, or forgetful, and took to reclaiming activities/tasks that needed to be done. but I did it all at once, I threw out my support pillow (for under the legs) and then didn’t follow through and get to the store to replace it. That meant I had to use a substitute knee pillow that was not the same angle/depth and composition of what my legs were used to.. I went out the next day and got the correct pillow, but meanwhile, the legs started to grumble…

AND that didn’t trigger or jog my gray cells to remind me to use the magnesium cream after my shower. I allowed myself to be distracted and and and.. I didn’t do it when the thought came to mind, I put it off and of course, it got lost.. I didn’t do it at all.

This morning my body told me in no uncertain terms… “it was not happy” and I had to deal with the fall out.

No its not just the magnesium, there are of course other factors.. but all could have been better planned and executed. … “do it now” when you can, if something comes to mind, and it is something that has shown to be helpful, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING…or not doing… and act accordingly.

Our bodies are our life long companions… we should not take them for granted.

Have a good day everyone…

Oyashikiri

just because – I bought an exercise stretch band ( the idea was a good one) , help with exercising the arms/shoulders… a good stretch… did I use it.. no it hangs on the back of the door. because I searched it out, found it, brought it home.. if I don’t use it… it is not helping me… right? Right !!!!

Just because – I studied and researched .. gathered info. sought solutions.. if I don’t apply them .. I am not being proactive to my well being… right? right!!!!

Tuesday

Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job

Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses. Continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.

PL.2019.23

Oyashikiri

“wander quietly through and along the path.. let the day surround you with the tranquil energy of nature’s embrace.” Q

Sharing

Sharing our faith – Shingei – in PL we practice the philosophy of PL in our everyday lives. PL Precept #21 Live in Perfect Liberty. We call this “shingei”. We truly believe that being present and open to the “needs” of another .. sharing and helping when we can, is how we work with Makoto (sincerity) towards world peace.

Prayer makes you stronger

When you put your hands together in prayer, it helps you to strengthen your resolve before taking the next step. You will be able to focus on your task at hand with a clear mindset.

Friday

Be careful not to lean towards only what you like

Live a life of balance; don’t just do the things you like to do or are good at … or already know what to do

PL2017.19

For everyone who asked, Com Quem Contar is a song from the PL songbook, originated out of Brazil, written by Ana Marie Miranda Coelho Rio… it is a song about trust, and faith. In English the title translates to Who to Trust. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and found it uplifting. If you missed it, it was in yesterday’s post. We sing the song everywhere, it is joyful, in Brazil they even have a little dance when it is song, In Canada, we (I admit) sway and get into it when we sing it… smiles.. it is very hard to not get “into it”. We do sing it in Japan when the International groups convene.. someone will get on the piano in the grand entrance to the International headquarters… and it isn’t long before we are all gathered and singing it…. It is only a little over 3 minutes but we will sing it for longer, repeating it as we march along the roadside towards one of the gathering places…. life is joyful when shared with friends who share in they pleasure of music… Music is universal...

Be happy …. love..

Oyashikiri

Japan will host international members at the PL Headquarters near Osaka …. it is a big celebration and time of renewing one’s faith and the teachings of the PL philosophy .. objective World Peace. Members come together, from all corners of the world.

You can learn from anyone

There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience. Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinion.

PL2015.18

“The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.” (Anais Nin)

Bom Dia everyone… Make today YOUR day… S M I L E

Oyashikiri

A Door, doors are built to allow us access to a building and then to leave it. While we are inside, we are protected from the elements and the world outside.. The door is our method of returning to the outside world and the chaos and cacophony that is forever trying to invade and influence our “Quiet “‘

The door comes in a wide variety of colours even shapes and sizes, the dictionary says it is a “a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard.” I have seen doors that are imposing and others that are just sturdy and practical. Think about it … where would we be with a door.?

PL thought 2017.18

Welcome the new while respecting the old

Every generation brings forth new and positive changes, but also relies on the wisdom of the past. Be able to appreciate both and take the best from each.

PL2017.18

Unless you live in a cave.. in everyone’s life there is a door. your thoughts?

doors

Doors like people come in all shapes and sizes. Like people, some are more welcoming than others. Each one has a story to tell, and history. How willing are we to explore the possibilities?

Always express yourself for the happiness of others as well as yourself

The happiness of those around you can lead to your own happiness. cultivate a heart to always wish for the happiness of other.s

exercise

Easy movements, slow, mind focused on how your body is able to move easily into the different stances. then taking the time to sit and reflect on how we are coping with the day to day opportunities that come our way. That is a personal activity that one should do daily. The world around us is busy, constantly moving, so often, we move into the day and adjust our energy to merge in and out of the constant ebb and flow of what is happening around us, Not taking into consideration the affect the jarring and the noise will have on our own peace of mind, The effects are not always positive. In making time to take 10 – 15 min. in the day to meditate, contemplate you can give yourself an energizing lift. Even 3 – 5 minutes of silence with your elbows propped on a desk.. and your chin, cupped in your hands can produce a quiet calm that gives you an energizing lift, the body/mind relaxation during a busy day can increase productivity and do wonders for YOU, YOU matter.

With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do,

Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something . With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights.

PL2014.7

We work better and we are more efficient and effective when our energy is balanced. We feel better and are able to get a better night’s sleep when we are happy with ourselves. There is an expression, “Misery loves company” ….. ….. personally, I’m happy to let the miserable enjoy their chosen way of life.. I prefer to be happy and live with kindness and goodness in my life. it is so much more freeing.. and it all begins with a genuine smile.

I recall a trip we took years ago.. we drove to Montana, (my previous time to go there I had flown in, and never did I want to do that again).. So my husband the planner said, “let’s drive there” he planned out the route we would take from here in Ontario (Canada) and on a lovely September day, we took off with the two dogs for Montana. The only States I had visited before this was NY, Vermont, NH, Florida, and California. We drove down into NY State and from there he took us through as many of the middle states towards Montana.. What a diverse geography the landscapes were at times “mind blowing” especially as we got closer to Montana itself. I got to see Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wyoming, Idaho and then into Montana, It was many years ago now and my husband is no longer here to tell me if I’ve missed any of the States we drove through. He promised we’d go back, I had wanted to see Arizona and spend more time exploring, but we had limited time and our goal was my friend in Montana.

What brings the trip back is stories I have been listening to that take place in the “old west” life in the 1800’s and the fact that Brian always wanted to take me away during my birthday month. His birthday gift to me was to take me to places he wanted me to experience.(He had been a journalist and media personality, his work had taken him to all four corners of the globe. I used to love listening to his adventures.. ) Now of course I have to plan and decide my own “birthday month”.. After the years of having adventures planned out for me, I confess I was spoiled.. it is an adjustment.. I find myself, part of me anyway, wanting to pack the car and take off to explore… etc… however… another part of me says, “you’ve done that… and… blah blah blah)

In PL we say ” PL Precept # 1 Life is Art ” every day is a new beginning.. a new canvas.. At the moment I have a new living space to adapt to and make my own… a new “lifestyle” ….

The Excitement of life comes from expressing your individuality

In PL we say it is important to live each moment of your life expressing your true self with Makoto (sincerity) when we can do this we will experience the true joy of self expression.” Learn to live respecting one another and working for each other’s happiness.” a lesson we are reminded of daily when we recite the PL Prayer.

After mulling about what I want to do, and simply not getting anywhere, I opened my calendar to today’s reading…and et voila…

Whether you like or dislike something, give it a try

Instead of avoiding something because it’s complicated or difficult to understand, just give it a try. Then you will be able to find it interesting,

PL2017.2

The picture for those who are unfamiliar with the Teepe or Tipi as it is traditionally know.. is a conical dwelling many Native American Plains tribes used as dwellings.

Whatever your day brings, enjoy .. smile.. be happy.

Oyashikiri

Why do teepees have 13 poles?

According to these teachings, the poles of the tipi represent the nations of people living upon Mother Earth and form the circle of life. Each one of the 13 poles also represents a trait to be honoured, starting with the three anchor poles that signify respect, obedience and humility. (wiki)
