How cool is this! I saw this sign on a wall where there was gym equipment being sold. I knew when I saw it, it was a message to me, you all know I have gone back to Movati (health club/gym) … I’m “trying” to work it into my schedule so that it fits in with my “routine”. There are only so many hours in the day. My focus is and has always been.. being happy.. (I can be so self centered)

The other day I found myself watching other members using the various equipment that I see around. The cardio area has been set up differently from when I left in 2017 at that time, they were bringing in new equipment.. now I’m seeing it, and how it is used. I have been offered a free refresher hour, a tour of the new equipment and how it is used etc. Problem with that is I have to stay an hour with a trainer who will also try to be selling me private coaching lessons.

Not up to that at the moment… I just want to wander and use my time there to stretch, walk, do the stairs, and some weights.. etc. the stretching is important and the stairs. It has only been a short time since I’ve signed up again, and already, I can feel the difference in my legs. Doing the steps .. going up to the second level using the winding staircase… is a must.. even if at first I did it at a crawl. I see even the younger members holding on and “huffing”…. I am sure the stairs were not only designed for appearance, they are functional in more ways than one.

When you reach the 2nd level there is a spacious area with very comfortable looking chairs…(I’m happy to say, I do not sit or use the chairs… I keep moving. If I want to sit I do so on a bike.. and pedal.

Live each day filled with hope. Even those situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way. (PL2019.2)

Don’t count the days, make the days count. (Muhammad Ali)

samedi – sabado

open spaces – quiet places

the moment you realize

because words are spoken

does not make it real

actions speak louder than words

Kuei ( hexagram 38) I Ching

This is a time when you may meet with dualism in your own nature.

This sense of wholeness in a world of contradiction can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind

PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

Pl Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.

People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness. (PL2023.6)

Day of Peace

Day of Peace, 1st of each month. Ceremony is at 10 a.m.

Wednesday

As I lay in the silence … I heard the quiet meow of another soul adjusting to the new beginning. There is always a “voice” we need only be open to the world around us. There is only NOW.

Take action now rather than later. things you notice are hints from God/Universe. Be thankful and take action immediately. (PL2012.13)

Think Positive

Gratitude

I am seeing more of these red wing blackbirds this year than I have in previous years. These and the Crackles are now regulars along with the Blue Jays.. altho at P23, the woodpeckers are holding their own.

With the extreme heat we’ve been having, please take precautions if you are going to be outdoors for any length of time. There will be two services at the church today, one at 10 a.m and the other at 7 pm. for those wanting to participate in the Day of Appreciation service ( PL Thanksgiving)

Thursday

-round about. – life is –

Round about midnight inspired many a young musician. Still does today, (music by Thelonious Monk) – link to Monk’s Dream/biography https://youtu.be/icFRHJ9VZaw?si=i-h_2VKdbQyuhzN9

Round abouts are either loved or cause a lot of angst… I’m always surprised when driving with someone else it never fails .. there is a comment if we come to one. (seldom of a positive nature) I myself find them very helpful. Such is life. On the radio yesterday the talk show host was raving on about something, I pushed the button and found myself listening to a country song about, thanking God for unanswered prayers.

Life is full of messages, intuitions and insights, do we listen? maybe yes maybe no.. however, our “mind” hears what we don’t.. and will often replay what you didn’t hear or want to hear.., when you are more receptive. Like 2 a.m. when you are minding your own business… like trying to sleep.

This morning. I think it is pouring rain outside. I will soon find out, Have a good day everyone, I’m heading for the round about… think of the choices I’ll have!!!!
