Remember how you felt in the beginning.
Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh. (PL2015.14)

Quincy says – know when its time to chill and …. do it!
Can you feel it., it is only mid September but I can feel the crispness in the air in the early morning, and the various shades of reds/oranges/rust etc. are appearing against the many variations of greens. Whopppeee!
Open up opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way. (PL2015.13)
Have a good day everyone
. I am having trouble with this format.. any suggestions out there for an easy to use format that remains consistent in the layout.

Bom dia, how are you today. It’s Thursday (quinta-feira)… Today’s quote is from the 2021 PL Calendar. Not having an English calendar this year (from headquarters in Japan) has been very worthwhile. I have had to resort to perusing all previous years from my files to use PL motivational quotes to share with you each day. it’s been a positive experience.
Let’s being today with a smile, Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover. (PL2021.12)
There is something about buildings that were built in years gone by…especially the old wooden structures.. and the old churches. I have a lot of infill builds happening in my neighbourhood. Somehow they lack the warmth and character of “older” builds. Those of us who have been taking pictures of buildings/doors/windows… architecture in general… our “vaults” are full of “historical” visions of the past.

Not always easy.. true .. but let’s try,

Good morning… the cooler weather in the mornings is refreshing. the quiet on the bog is deceiving, the other day I thought I was alone, there were no cars in the parking areas as I drove by. Out of my car, I didn’t even see the doves.. the blue jays came when the peanuts were served, otherwise, it seemed usually quiet. I looked up into the trees to see if there was a bird of prey in the area.. but .no.. it was just quiet. I knew the turkeys were down by the farm, I saw them when I drove past.. they would be headed up my way, they had started to chase after my car… so I knew they would arrive.. but… I still found it unusually quiet…
As I walked away from the feeding area.. towards the boardwalk and the water, I could sense I was being watched…It was such a surprise.. cuz I knew .. just knew… there was a pair of eyes, watching me. As I strolled past the first path leading off to the right, I heard a rustle of leaves… I turned slowly towards the sound and saw that there was movement away from me, the lower branches on the bushes were still slightly swaying.. Was it the groundhog, no he knows me and would have come to the feeder area. Then I remembered the mother racoon and her wee ones, they had been around the other day… but no.. she would have just gone up to nosh on the fresh offerings in the dining area.
Slowly I turned back towards the water, and moved on… one of the pleasures of having the woodlands to myself, is that I may not actually see the other visitors to the area I’m wandering in.. but I know they are there. and… eventually the visitor will make itself known if it stays around… I’m there every day, 365 days of the year… I am learning from the animals.. not to rush, to take my time… to always listen and be aware of my surroundings. IF not now, maybe another time, when it is “right” it will happen,

Yesterday it was raining do hard, the water was ankle deep in areas….. yet.. there was a quiet that drew me in.. even without my “gum” boots I saw myself walking through the water… my inadequate footwear didn’t deter me from sharing breakfast with the furry and feathered friends that came to share the moment with me.
It was the first time I saw rain drops glistening on the iridescent feathers of the Wild turkeys. There was no sun, it was very cloudy, yet they were magnificent . the drops were like little crystals… rolling off them. Even the bunny came to say hello…
The rain was pelting at times… not all the chippies came out, but the ones that did were rewarded with easy access to the buffet.
Be in harmony with those who are closest to you. Work to cultivate positive and strong relationships with your family and with the people you work with. Getting along with those who are closest to you is the key to happiness,
The parking lots of the other parks I drove past were all empty. No Park “rangers” no contractors, the constant downpour kept the human visitors away. I drank in the “solitude” my bright yellow rainwear.. and fisherman’s hat meant I could just stand and enjoy the soft tap tap taps of the rain drops as they danced over me. Standing in the rain is hypnotic.

Lose your attachments to money and things. Money and things don’t have value unless you actually use them. don’t be stingy nor overly attached to your resources and utilize them to their fullest potential. (PL2015.7)

Because
Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it
It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative
Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….
Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.
and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…
Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.
Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)
