View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.

Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions.
PL 2012.7
Au revoir, a bientot….. till soon
Oyashikiri
At times we all pretend
Letting dreams and memories
run wild in our imaginations
Then happens the day
When “pretend” becomes reality
So real you know what it is
to be alive
Reality is escape
From the bondage of freedom
Q
Good relationships begin by greeting each other.
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

Put your heart into your words.
Do you tend too speak in just a matter-of-fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

Moving is not an easy project. I realize that it all was so much easier when I was younger.(stamina) Going from an house to an apartment has a lot of pluses … there are a few challenges tho’. i.e. when you come home with a full car, you have to get all your packages etc. to your apartment. I’m lucky I found, and was able to rent a lovely space on the ground floor, with 11 ft. ceilings. Still need to get from parking garage to apt.
Still in the middle of boxes that need unpacking, and trying to find items that I know I have .. but don’t know where they are. This morning I needed to go out.. try as I might, I was unable to find a toothbrush in all the “stuff” I looked through. Going back to the house, I was shocked at the mess… AAaaaghhhh.. good thing closing date isn’t for a few weeks…
One step at a time right….
PL Precept # 1 Life is Art
Hope you are enjoying a productive and happy week..

Last night as I tried to quiet my mind, my thoughts drifted in and out through the many corners of that gray matter within my skull. I felt like I was shedding skin (a chapter of my life) like a snake…. I felt myself glide through a mist, and ………… ………… in the stillness of the night, I stepped willingly into the abyss.
Find a good balance between your present and past experiences.
Without forgetting your original intent, continue to develop your own path by also relying on your knowledge and experience.
PL2019.20
A reminder for me during this move.
Be free of your attachments
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible.

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.

know someone who needs this message.. pass it on.
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!
