It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyles. That’s what makes life interesting. (PL2020.20)
PL Precept # 21 Live in Perfect Liberty
I’ve heard almost a dozen new birds (to me) the last couple of days.. I’m heading out early. Have a great day everyone!… and I’m getting to see younger animals testing their legs. . It all happens early before the heat of the day.
Dance as an expression of joy , feel the freedom of movement
Your true self is revealed in the smallest of words and actions, Most people act and speak carefully when faced with an important situation. However, it is also important to put your sincerity into the simplest, seemingly minor tasks as well. PL 2011.18

HI my heartfelt thanks to you for your prayers ..your kindness/thoughtfulness and caring is very appreciated. Life is what it is.. one door closes, another opens.. Friends are one of life’s greatest treasures.
Do you ever feel like you are all alone waiting… Do you look around and “see” what was, and not what IS?
Some days, we walk around and go about our daily activities, but the world around us is not what it used to be… and we are not wanting to let go.. Maybe it is time to step back, and reconsider what we really want in life and where we “Need” to be… so that we can move on.
Give your best effort with a prayerful mind. Even if you’ve given your best effort, you may still have missed something important, Continue to have a prayerful mind even after you have completed the task at hand.

Today is a brand new day, What will you do with it?
Sometimes I need to let the world drift by – at one time I felt my participation and involvement was not something one could simply ignore. – I’ve grown up now…. I recognize that time to rejuvenate, time to simply let the body and mind rest is important to a sound, healthy, balanced life.
The simple task of walking to the front of the house to collect the recycle container, the two dogs bouncing and jumping happily beside me was pleasant. The neighbour walking her dog, stopped two houses away so that the dogs would not have to interact. I waved.. she nodded.. then the dogs and I made our way back to the backyard. A moment in time.
Simplicity. Life doesn’t have to be complicated. It is the human mind that insists on complicating the moment, with what if, maybe, perhaps if… NOOOO…. sit .. close your eyes.. open a door or window.. let the air move freely around, pushing out the stale winter air. it is a new season.
Develop new ideas through your imagination – softly and flexibly. If you could find a way to add a twist, you will have more joy.
Seasons come, seasons gothere is a hush and a quiet beauty when there is a blanket of snownow with the melt, there is new growth, the mating calls of the birds and mosquitos
yes, each season has a reason
even in Tennessee, the water’s clear and running
the mountains are teeming with wild life and adventure under clear blue skies
Tennessee chickens bathe in the heat and sunshine
hmmm where do I want to be today….
yeah, I think so…
With one thought “The world” will change. Changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.
How many of us are spending time waiting. In my area, it seems that everyone around in different provinces or States have had their first, even some have had both of their shots. Meanwhile, we wait.
I’ve tried reading, I was as you know going out and feeding the birds, but now with the change in the weather, they are doing just fine.
Time is spent thinking, wondering when there will be a more balanced approach to how we spend our time, even catching up with friends in person, instead of by phone or virtual calls.
Even having the shot will not mean life will just return to “what it was” No, there will still be the need for masks and social distancing. Today there was segment on the radio about how the animals, especially dogs will adapt (not) when their humans return to working outside the home.
Now more than ever, we need to live being aware of the good, positive “things” “happenings” in our lives. The quote I posted yesterday, resonated with me then and even more today.
A thankful heart leads to happiness. When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate things.

Look forward to what’s ahead. There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.
Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day. Each and every one of your actions can inspire peace within your family, your community and the world around you. this peace will eventually help lead to World Peace.

Please join us at 7 PM in prayer as we perform the Thanksgiving Service. Share in our prayer and re-commitment to physical and spiritual renewal
Humbly express appreciation to God for all the blessings of the past month
When a stranger lands in your space – There is nowhere to escape
The eyes reflect the night, you look for life inside, but find there is no sight
Others wander the night, some with seeing eyes, but not the stranger in your space
what brought her here, will tomorrow a tear be shed, or will we both stare into the night
waiting for the starship to return for her. Of my world she cannot be, for in my world, there is room for only me I have eyes that see and a heart that breaks, vacant eyes belong in another time and space. Be calm and kind hesitating to share true feelings, can hurt not only ourselves but others. PL calendar .. day 17 Oyashikiri
