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 neighborhood.

I feel like this woodpecker today…I can see my mouse, I can see the screen, but the PC is not seeing my mouse… and I can’t work the laptop flat space.. to work the cursor there. So. short and sweet, till tech comes to find out why only half of my system is working.
Wishing you all a happy and productive day. One step at a time, we will get through this.!!
PL Precept # 1 Life is Art!

The last few days I have had people in and out non stop looking over “things” that I will not, or can not take with me. It is interesting how what affected me the most was watching the landscape I had been nurturing for over 25 some years… start to disappear, piece by piece,
Watching art supplies, and what nots go was easy peasy. I have already gone through drawers and cupboards and passed along linens and clothes that I have not worn in some time… that was easy too. BUT the ornaments that lent character and (to me) a spiritual energy in the courtyard… not seeing the Buddha overlooking the patio, the Kwan Yin and the Guardian of Justice/Truth not in their places near the ruins of a temple… ahhhh that was and is harder to adjust to. BUT adjust I must, Change is the only constant.
Today’s calendar..
Whether you like or dislike something, give it a try,
Instead of avoiding something because it’s complicated or difficult to understand, just five it a try, Then you will be able to find it interesting,
Grrr my mouse has decided to not work… taking my leave.. have a good day everyone…

Leave the past in the past and live fully in the now
Stop living in the past. You can only focus on things that are happening right now in front of you.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Sometimes it is necessary to be silent and just listen.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
we are so surrounded by trees, we don’t see that there is a whole world out there
PL Precept #19 Begin once you Perceive
Oyashikiri
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.

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.

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.
