Other people can sense how you are feeling. So, be cheerful!

Is it a summer cold… is it allergies… what … what is it…. woke to a feeling of unease, stuffed ..congested, a throat that was on fire.. and…. a glue gun that wouldn’t work like it should. Oh groan… sigh… it is going to be one of those days. The sky outside looked gloomy, a gray pallor hung over the buildings I could see from my window. The bright eyed smiling girl of the other day, failed to make an appearance, I did attempt to run a few errands,, but the “adult” portion of my gray cells,. finally broke through the fog in my head… and I was encouraged to drive home, straight home.. and cease and desist ignoring what my body was trying to tell me. Tomorrow will be another day!
When you get stuck, take a step back.
When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

Did you know that yesterday the 22nd, was the black moon? Did you stay in? (at night) I had forgotten, it wasn’t till I was shutting down for the night that I saw my reminder.,… I was able to take time, to reflect and enjoy the tranquility of the event. Black moon encourages empowerment, and connecting with your intuition to embrace and change and ignite one’s inner light. probably why I am disappointed to wake to a new day and find my body is having a wee tantrum.
take care, have a great rest of the week-end.

I failed to resist the temptation – I drove to the east end for a steamed hotdog and an order of fries.. (heaping order.. I couldn’t even eat them all!)
Quin tried to resist, but failed in her attempt to not get her nails trimmed.
Sometimes life is just not fair… Did I enjoy my fries and steamed hotdog… Yup! Did Quin thank me for shortening her nails… nnnnnnooo. but… I got her front ones done.. I was pleased.
Express yourself freely within the rules.
If you allow yourself to interpret rules and regulations too rigidly, you are limiting yourself. You can find true joy when you work creatively within the rules.

Been watching video on the dissection of the female anatomy. We should never take our bodies for granted,, (stop the snigger guys .. the male anatomy is the next lesson…
Let’s be thankful for everything we have right now.
“Now” is an accumulation of every moment leading up to it, and everything that continues to progress and develop to become “now” Be thankful for everything.

Such a simple statement… but oh….. so true.
Put your heart into our words
Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

I have been writing all my life, expression whether written or creatively has always been a passion. In the move, a lot of material was unearthed that came from “past lives”…. I have been looking in wonder at some of the pieces and wondering “who” was this person, “where” was I coming from when these “expressions” were conceived. Some I have kept and will look at again, others I have “passed” on… they simply have no meaning anymore.
Learning to ** LET GO ** is a life long curve and journey that we take. I do see or recognize a thread.. some of my “instincts” and “thoughts” run deep! Never the less… I am working on cutting back,.

Sometimes it gets so busy, we need to escape, find a place to simply ‘stop’ be on our own… let the day settle around us… and chill.
We are capable of handling whatever comes our way
Instead of asking yourself, “can I do it?” simply tell yourself, “I’m going to do it!”. Then give it your best effort.

PL Ottawa offers a quiet tranquil respite from a busy active world. Nestled between trees and an expansive park like setting…. there is always someone to welcome and greet the visitor.
Situated off a busy major road that flows traffic across the busy city (Ottawa is the capital of Canada) we often are visited by people curious and just wanting to stop a moment. In a city where there is a constant stream of traffic, of people and cars “getting somewhere’…. the church grounds are right next to protected green space. It is not unusual to find that “wildlife” from the little forest will stroll over to church grounds, curious to explore.
Different but another thought for you to think about
A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.
When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face.

PL church Ottawa is the only physical building in Canada, we are visited from members from USA, Brazil, Japan. For PL members it is an opportunity to have a place to be while touring and visiting in the area.
