Wednesday

You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.

And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.

Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.

PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.

PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,

This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.

Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….

It is all about the look, she would look at you with such a look of total amazement that you really thought she would stay put and not go into the water. This was a dog that the breeder gave up on and unwillingly let me have her because she was a dog who simply had a mind of her own. During shows, she would suddenly decide she had enough and would calmy sit and refuse to move .. or .. she would walk off the show ring floor back to her crate.

She became my soulmate, my best friend, I bonded with this dog like there was no tomorrow. I still mourn her loss to this day.. but her spirit, her devotion, and unfaltering caring will never leave me. She taught me so many “life” lessons.

I spent a good part of my morning yesterday with whippets A totally different breed, they were in their home, I was a guest. Since acquiring Quincy last year, I have learned to live with a feline(s) in my life. Not the same at all. Now of course he has a “sister” Quinn. Interacting with a cat .. is not.. like living with a dog, or vice versa.

In life, we are constantly on a journey of discovery… what I have learned and continue to experience, is…

If we are content with the status quo, our progress will stop. In PL, we suggest, to always seek for ways to improve, to continue to move forward, one step at a time.

Many fellow bloggers always include their “furry” family/friends in their blogs.. Love it!!!

Everything in life happens for a reason.

There need not be reason or rhyme, it simply IS.

I held a two week old puppy in my arms yesterday… what a sweet bundle of love.

Live expressing your own unique self in your day to day life. We each are given our own duties and roles in life. Take the time to find what makes you unique, and you will be able to live your life expressing your own individual beauty.

How many roles do you play/live in one day?

On antibiotics, I have given in to the need to R E S T … ok. what does that mean.. for me, it means, I take myself off to my room where it is quiet, I lie down and just let the weariness and the tired claim my body. I gave in and bought a Ninja and made myself a banana, fruit and yogurt smoothie. Yes, I did get a Starfit and after putting it together, filling it with the ingredients, I turned it on and nothing happened. Nothing

After several attempts, I simply left it on the counter and yesterday I got the Ninja, unpacked it, transferred the fruit etc. into the new Ninja, pushed down, and voila.. an ice cold smoothie. I’ll learn, buy what you want in the first place, I made a decision based on the cost.. and it was a total waste of time. I didn’t save money it cost me more time and money. Now I have a dud I have to repackage, and take back, waste more gas and time doing something I could have avoided, if I got what I wanted in the first place.

On the plus side, I am enjoying the freshly made, very cold, smoothie. Easy wash up too.

Have a great start to the week-end …

Quincy and Quinn are doing very well. They eat side by side, they rest in close proximity… both respect my space.. It’s all good!

If you are going to do it..do it joyfully

If you aren’t doing it light heartedly and efficiently, it is the equivalent of being lazy. Switch your mind quickly to tackle the task at hand. ^(PL2017.23)

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!

Don’t ask, I have no idea. It was in one of my folders. I have a rusted tin man in my backyard, I’ve had him for years, I picked him up somewhere in my travels… I don’t know where this one came from, but he is a beauty. Someone, somewhere had a lot of fun putting him together.. Creativity what joy it is to behold!

“Use any results, good or bad, as a stepping stone. All outcomes, whether positive or negative, are important experiences. Let’s use them wisely for our future progress.” (PL2012.10)

This morning I was awakened by “noise” Quincy was being active, then I heard his food being scattered all over the kitchen floor…I tried to tune it all out, but wasn’t successful. When I got up to see what all the fuss was about, he was sitting innocently enough but was intent on one of his toys.. On closer inspection, it didn’t look like something I’d gotten him.. then it hit.. it was a teeny tiny little mouse. Aggghhhhh, no time for eeks and such… I froze in place myself. I’m 5ft.3 maybe, wear size 7.5 narrow shoe… this wee thing was maybe the size of cotton ball.

Quincy was toying with it. I had to act… I raced out to the back veranda and the recycle bin, grabbed an empty cottage cheese container and its lid and came back, Quincy was now batting at the poor thing. I used the empty container to capture the mouse, and took it outside .. it will have to fend for itself in the wet world outside. What a way to start the day.. it wasn’t even 5:30 a.m. yet.

How is your day?

Good morning. When an animal is content…. even if he is in the way. Do we move him? or let him stay?

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. _^(PL2022.6)

Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcomings in others. Even though you may not agree with someone, complaining about it doesn’t help. Remember, we are all human….. and accept each person for who they are. (PL2019.22)

A memory from the past. Funny I see the clock that reads 1:20 something in the background. Could have been a week day, but likely not, a week-end then. My Mother would have been sitting in her lazyboy just to the left of the tissue box. Timmy (the cat) seems to be tending a purse, so someone had to be visiting. I didn’t expect to see this picture when I opened the file. but… there he was, my Mother’s loving companion, he had a loving personality … time… it has a way of disappearing , moments are fleeting…
