Perfect Liberty, day 12 of calendar
Be Cheerful nd Carefree
Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t, just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.

We leave a trace everywhere we go, it seems impossible to enjoy without some how taking or leaving something behind. Some harmonize better than others. A wound may heal physically, but it will never be the same, ever. Life does go on, we are blessed in ways that we will never truly fully understand, Nature will soon blanket the scarred and littered land around us with the beauty of fallen snow.
The fairy tale world of a winter wonderland, will lull the weary, allowing for time to recharge and erase haunting memories. Right now she is blessing us with a wonder of colours and vistas of raw umber and burnt sienna interwoven with deep golden hues interspersed with rusty reds,
Today, I am the birch, patiently waiting for you to drive by, tires rolling across the asphalt, and the quiet to reappear till the next motorized vehicle comes along. Please do not be offended, it is simply time for us to hibernate.,

Wisdom is a divine endowment – not a human acquisition
Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to deal with it
Found this quote in one of my profiles. I for some reason, did not note where I got it from, but the words aren’t mine, however, at the time, I must have connected with the sentiment.
There are days when I feel like “ I am” on a stage … that I am rehearsing or going through a chapter that is “in progress”. For sure, what I am living is my personal experience. Today while in meditation, I revisited, or tried to, my interpretation of an event that is yet to happen. Then the spotlight shone down on me, and I knew I had to be in the present. To succeed I have to be present.
Every frame of the “scenes” being lived, needed my focus on the present if I was to even “live” to experience the pending “event”
Ah life, it is a beautiful exhilarating happening, isn’t it.
Enjoy the first day of a new month.
Happy Canada day everyone!

PL Precept # 11 Allways be with GOD
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”
Someone was caught jumping & walking on the bed
that same someone went off on her own
and was seen sitting on a pumpkin in someone’s store
then I was told, she went next door and did the same to the pumpkin there
then later was seen jumping out and hollering Boo, to the passing few
last seen she was fleeing the scene – watch out, she could be somewhere near you.
hiding in waiting to jump out and say BOO

Awen this is not a wombat, it is Q wearing a Chaffro outfit, for the Chinese New Year, coming soon to place near you.
I learned lately that my sisters and I who are real siblings, do not speak the same language. message received, “Moana is too full. Decided to go to la la land”
What I understood, my sister for some reason had referred to herself as Moana, she ate too much of the dinner ( she had sent me pictures of the shrimp dish she had made) and now was taking herself off to bed. I didn’t know why she was sharing this, she sends cryptic messages from time to time, so I really didn’t dwell on it too long. However I was curious as to why she had decided to call herself Mona, so I sent back a text, asking her.
She replied to me so obviously my other sister, knew exactly what she was speaking of.. she wrote back 3 words, Disney movie Moana (she isn’t long on texting or writing)
Ahhh older sister’s light bulb flashed, “so la la land didn’t mean you were going to bed” brilliant deduction Watson, La La Land has to be another movie.
These generation gaps, can be hard on the communication system.
So YaBaDab-a-do to you dear friends… we start another day! Hur-Ray! And what a day, freezing rain, on first back to work day for many of the Federal and Provincial government employees over the slippery roads we go.. hi ho hi ho hi ho
Q was a Meerkat…The avatar above is a Wynx Tiny found in virtual worlds of Second Life and InworldZ. For those of you who go into Virtual, Q is no longer a Meerkat but a Dinky, and still a cat, but a Dinky Siamese Cat. The Dinky line is a product of Etheria Parrott a very talented builder/designer and artist in the Tiny community of RaglanShire. Below is picture of Q in her work studio working on her clothing line .pffft. She has a shop in Raglan and at Tiny Outpost (run by Sylkye Taffetta, who is still a meerkat)
Life is to be lived…. Live it your way… just be happy doing it. If you are not happy, you need to revisit your decisions, and make changes.
In PL, (Perfect Liberty) we pray that each day, will enable us to find ways to enhance our time here, and that includes the happiness of others. We strive for and want World Peace.

clearly, languages are not just words, but our understanding of them… and there-by a means of miscommunications…
Saturday..groan.. another morning
Dogs want to eat, I just want to sleep
ok already, I’m up
what, no coffee
some days, the world can seem weary
the trick,
treat yourself
you might still be a tad out of focus
but you CAN do it
head for the woods, hills, whatever beckons
yesterday, was yesterday
today is today
seize the day
make it yours
have a great day
I’m rooting for you..
you bet!! I LOVE you

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art
It is the start of a new month. A new beginning. In PL (Perfect LIberty) on the 1st of each month we have a ceremony, we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. That means anywhere we are “present”
PL Principle #21 I will live with the spirit of “Misasage” (devotion) working for the happiness of others.
PL precept #10 Love yourself and Others
When I feel one thing, and do another, then I am not being true to myself or to the person or situation I am interacting with. It is not always easy to think before we speak, and, unfortunately, once the words leave our mouths, they can’t easily be taken back.
Let us begin this month, with a prayer in our hearts that extends out to all whose lives we touch. Let us work towards acceptance and understanding when we are faced with something that is unfamiliar to us, or not in our comfort zone. In the end, we may decide that we simply will have to agree to disagree, but at least, we listened to the option. BEFORE making our decision, (choices)
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter
at the end of the day,
we have to make peace
with ourSelves
Peace
begins
within

A lazy mind can sit and ponder, wonder and consider her options for hours on end. there is nothing wrong in daydreaming, or taking time out to unwind, de-stress, or as some of us say, just chill. However, often it is after spending hours drifting aimlessly through imaginary and often lingering moments of “fantasy”, we emerge and finding that all the “stuff” we had waiting for attention in the “immediate” world, is still there, waiting …..
Sure, we can make a list, and we can plot out just how we will get to this project and that one, what materials we will need, even “see” it in our heads. But all of this is not getting “it” done.
Maybe a walk will sweep out the cobwebs and give inspiration. Wow, it is so nice out here, such a pleasure to be out in the fresh air. hmmm yes, hear those birds, and look… look at how white and fluffy the clouds are today.
Oh my goodness, look at the time, where did it go, it must be dinner time, and I’ve not even started to get things ready. where did the time go. Must have closed my eyes after the walk, it was only going to be for a few minutes.
Hello Mr. Crow, will you help me while I start preparing for supper. I had a good day, thank you for asking, how was yours? hmmmm oh I see, you were busy with your pals clearing up left over seeds at the neighbouring farms.
Well compared to your day, I guess I didn’t get much done.. but then again, I was “busy” all day.
Can any of you relate….. to my “busy” day, shared with my “lazy mind” ??

PL Principle # 14 I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.
