exercise in Nothing
May 7, 2018
Good morning everyone.. thinking to be smart, I thought I would take a picture of nothing (* wink) =^_*= I believe that nothing is always something.
Aim at the sky. darn, even when I thought it was open space.. look, its sky with different hues of blue. look even the sun peaked in.
hmmm nothing on the door, let’s take a picture of nothing there.
Little rascal,
evades me again, Nothing is the door!
OK, I spun around quickly and shot Nothing behind me..
Can you see Nothing…
Nope, concrete, wood and vegetation. Nothing is always SOMETHING.
So, next time someone asks you, “what are you doing” and you say “NOTHING” ………………………. or when you are asked, what are you thinking, and you reply “NOTHING” ………………………. what are you saying, what do you mean?
NOTHING IS ALWAYS SOMETHING

patience
May 4, 2018
Being on the receiving end of two sets of eyes patiently waiting, determined not to let me take a bite without my knowing they are watching, is cute. And for me it is a visual lesson in patience.
Where some dogs have been known to beg, these two don’t. They just sit and watch me. I am sure every morsel of food is counted (in a canine way).. do the chopsticks go to my mouth, or is the piece being redirected to a napkin, that “just could” be their reward for being so patient.
There is a shrimp dish that is cooked with the whole shrimp, that has been lightly battered. This dish they are particularly aware of, they know I will share the heads and tails with them. Until I actually say their names, they will just sit patiently knowing that they will be rewarded.
Other times when I am busy enjoying every little tid bit, I am fascinated to see that my usual dinner mates, have no interest at all, and have curled up to nap. They instinctively know, that there will be no sharing.
Do we, pay as much attention to those around us, are we aware of their habits, the different ways they speak or do things, are we flexible in our ability to adjust to the energy around us easily? Are we considerate of others? Is it our natural response to the daily encounters that pop us during our day. Can we put away our “ego” when it is perhaps getting in the way of a sincere exchange.
Sometimes what we say and what we are thinking are not in sync. This leads to misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
Do you attract, happy or unhappy people in your sphere? Questions, a lot of questions, I know, but beginning the day with a short meditation/reflection…. is always a positive start to the day.

Forever Young
May 2, 2018
Some times I am just too cute for words! =^_^=
Day 2 PL Calendar – Be forever Young and Seek New Challenges
The world is constantly in motion and never rests. Keep your senses sharp and be ready to adapt to the every changing world.
I so truly believe in these words. One of the reasons I enjoy Second Life so much (virtual world) click here is the opportunities it gives me to express my artistic self, as well, as be anyone, or any “creature” I want. The creative opportunities are endless.
Every day, we live our lives usually dealing with the immediate needs that come our way. To keep our senses sharp and be ready to adapt, we have to be willing to “let go” of old habits, and to allow new ideas and expressions to colour our world.
Little steps. One day at a time.

In the PL community there is always someone to listen. Someone to “help” .. someone to “listen”
me and you
May 1, 2018
There are days when I am not really the person that I think I am. Instead I am far away in another land.
On one hand, I feel no pain, and roam free across the plains
On the other, I am grounded, focused on the sounds all around me
who am I really, I can be here and everywhere
nothing can hold me back, there is nothing that I lack
Take my hand, let us bond in forever land
you and me, me and you
dreams are part of who we are, and no matter where we are
the stars above, shine on us all… … Q
“PL Calendar day 1 ” Harmony leads to World Peace
It is important to lie in harmony with our surroundings. The basis of a peaceful society is to maintain harmonious relationships.
It is true, no matter where we are, how far the distance, I will always love YOU.

what was, now is
April 28, 2018
Sometimes we open a door, and we are hit with an unexpected view. One we had no control over, but we’re now faced with the “What the ?!?!?!”
The camera of course was the first thought, take pictures, details, catch it before it is touched or anyone comes. Then talk to the workers, who are pretending not to be aware of your actions.
Keep calm, ask for an explanation. PL Precept #4 Being annoyed limits your expression.
Listen with intent. Pay careful attention to what is said. Appreciate, and remember to say Thank YOU.
Then return to your office, make notes, and then # 1. call the city, #2 call the owner of the property who the workers are working with. Being polite, and asking for answers and suggestions to the problem will usually inspire others to be helpful.
PL Precept #5 One’s self is lost by being emotional
Sincerity, faith and trust … are important ingredients to a life that is “balanced”
I’m not saying it is always easy, but they become part of your daily responses to opportunities when they are practiced on a regular basis.
Blessings of the day to each and everyone of you. May much happiness shine on you day from morning to night.

appreciation & gratitude

Happy Wednesday everyone….
PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
PL Precept # 18 Each Moment is a Turning Point.
The pictures tell the story. If you have never experienced an air bag hitting you full on, then I suggest you try hard not to experience. It hurts. Not only did it leave me disoriented, I will have the sharp ache for the next while as a reminder, that I was very blessed to have been able to get out on my own, and walk to the ambulance.
The first responders were amazing. I can’t say enough about their kindness, and the care they took to ensure I was looked after. Always ensuring I felt safe and as comfortable as I could be. They even saw to my getting home to my husband, who was at home unable to do anything but anxiously await news.
I wish that I could personally call all my friends who have been wondering what has happened, but with the current situation of the setting up of the home care for “end of Life” it has been very busy, with people coming and going. Both husband and myself exhausted come end of day.
Tomorrow the palliative care doctor is going to make her first house call. =^_^=
Everyone is kind, caring and compassionate. For this we are grateful ..and appreciate each and every thoughtful gesture that has been directed our way.

save the bees
April 21, 2018
Bom Dia, A happy greeting to you..
Today, while picking up a newspaper for my husband, I spied this colourful book. Bring Back the Bees by Paulette Bourgeois and Josee Bisaillon. It was so eye catching that I asked to see it. Hello, it is a give away at Chapters Indigo. It is Produced by Kids Can Press, and sponsored by Honey Nut Cheerios.
It has beautiful illustrations, rendered in watercolour, collage and digital
I am very interested in saving the bee population, and believe that more awareness is needed … therefore I am sharing this information with you.for more info. bringbackthe bees.ca

day 20

Day 20 PL Calendar
You are YOU, Others are Others
You have your own way of doing things, and others have their way of doing things. Don’t worry about what other people will say. Simply take care of the task at hand.
And that is the reality. That is just the way it is. Our experiences, our past shapes our future…. Make each moment count. Live each day with new “eyes” … be open to new experiences, choices, we all have them…
Tomorrow is the 21st For members of Perfect Liberty, we celebrate with a Thanksgiving Service. We give thanks and show our appreciation for the blessings of the past month, while sincerely renewing our determination to follow and practice the Precepts and Principles of PL.
