Expecting too much leads to dissatisfaction
When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too.

Stay warm, stay safe.

Getting around wasn’t easy for some today, the snow started last night, and kept falling well into the day. City crews did their best to ensure that the main highways were cleared, but it was made clear, side streets would not be cleared till after the afternoon drive home rush hours.
On the six o’clock news they showed one enterprising young man, Xross-country skiing into work. I recall one year when I snow- shoed in =^_^= I didn’t have to go out today, but I wanted to take advantage of the weather and attend a sale, that is usually impossible to get close to, especially if you want to park your vehicle, in my case, a big truck.
I was right, traffic was light, it was mid morning, and I had plenty of room to park. My day went very well, I found some great “deals” and enjoyed being out in the brisk snow filled air. Sure one had to drive slowly and with care, but we should be doing that at all time anyway. I was able to get some shopping in without a lot of fuss, and get home at a decent hour.
The PL philosophy is that if you start your day with a positive attitude, and a sincere appreciation for the weather and the world around you, your chances of having a full and productive day are very good.
PL Precept #15 all is a mirror
PL Principle # 2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
