Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is every 21st of the month for those of us who follow the Perfect Liberty calendar/philosophy. A day we come together in prayer and community to formally give thanks for the people around us and the things provided to us by Mother Nature. It is a time to renew our intention of beginning each new day with appreciation, and to step forward with a feeling of World Peace in our heart.

To begin my day today, I used up the left over mashed potatoes and designer carrots by making a veggie ball with them, this gave me the protein since a scrambled egg was used to hold the ball together. =^_^= I accompanied the ball with diced fresh tomato and red pepper, and for added colour a few flowers of broccoli. No additional condiments were used.

YUM YUM YUM… love my veggies.

Service is at 7 pm this evening. See you then.

PL lesson from the 14th

Take care of Things One by One as They Come
It is the best timing to do something .. as soon as you notice it..Take action right away without hesitation.

What was I doing that I missed this lesson on the PL calendar yesterday, Ah yes, I was living my day, dealing with the challenges that are currently littering my day to day.

Hmmm how do I feel about that. Let me think .closes eyes and takes time to reflect and think. Leans back in her chair and allows the emotions and thoughts to come forward.

What came to mind? Yesterday was yesterday, and today will be today, I feel stronger today, the changes I’ve been working on making are starting to see results.

I give thanks to all my friends and support system for through all ups and downs, you have been there for me. Especially my husband, wow, he is such a treasure. Most of all, Rev. Eugene and Rev. Goto have helped me stay in touch with the Divine and Universal Healer, GOD/TAO

This next is materialistic, however, it shows that GOD is in every thought and moment in our lives. Being diabetic I have “need to do” things in my everyday, now one is going out regularly to the pharmacy for Blood Pressure monitoring.
With the weather starting to get colder, I no longer should be running around with just my shoes on.
I wanted a pair of low cut boots that had a fur lining or thermal inside so that I can keep my feet warm. I was in and out of the store in less than 20 minutes. A record I think. I saw the boots, tried them, they fit, in fact were perfect for what I wanted. What drew me to the boots, The company logo. On a plain white backing are the words, “for the world you walk in, Love what you wear”

What can I say, they spoke to me =^_^= I’m going to have a good day, I hope you are too.

Blessings to you, Happiness, Joy, Long life,, abundant, unbounded Blessings, forever and always.

public bathrooms – Japan- for children

public bathrooms - Japan- for children

I found this to be absolutely one of the best ideas for parents who are traveling with children. the cubicles are only so high, so the child has his privacy, but the parent can watch to see that he/she is safe and doing alright.

I loved the idea. This is the little girl’s side.

Then there is this side for the young boys.

Really now isn’t that just ingenious? Had I not been traveling through Japan with friends who knew the country, I would have missed a lot of the super fabulous sights that I got to see and take in. Their toilets were an experience, mine at home, and what I see here now that I’m back home are so boring. Bet you didn’t expect to be reading about toilets, however you must agree that this idea of having the child size bathrooms available in public areas, where time is almost always a factor in the getting to and from in a very busy train /transportation system is fab!

The Japanese call the rush hour tsukin jigoku or “commuter hell”... Commuter trains – I read stats for back in the the late 80’s. The figure for the system was something like 19 million passengers a day on 28,000 trains. Old people, and parents with children in tow stay off the trains during the rush hour. The shopping including restaurants are top notch in the stations where you enter,leave and transfer. Can you tell I was most impressed. The cleanliness will get me going on a whole new topic. =^_^=

Saying “Thank You” creates a heart to heart connection. Every day I thank Rev. Goto and his family for including me in their trip to Japan. Yes I was going for Rensei training. but had I not been gently encouraged and supported to step outside my comfort zone, I would have missed the opportunity of a lifetime. I listened to the “spirit within” and I am filled with a deep gratitude when a memory surfaces. i.e. seeing the pictures of the children’s bathrooms.

Use Sunday to recharge, make time for yourself, if you can, attend church, Kahlil Gibran said something like, “pray in times of distress and need, but also in the fullness of your joy and in days of abundance”

Affirm your faith, not your doubts!

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection

Perfect Liberty teaching day 15

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection. If you don’t put your thoughts into words and actions, you will not be able to express how you truly feel. By expressing your gratitude in words, you can get your feelings across fully.

Sometimes being comfortable with a friend, relative, partner in life, we can forget to say “thank you” after a time, assuming that they know we appreciate them, and what they do for us. That is taking them for granted. I love my husband very much, it is impossible to say thank you for all the small things he does for me/us on a daily basis, but I try as often as I can to let him know just how special he is. I’ve discovered, that not only does it bring a smile to his face, it pleases me no end, that we’ve shared a heart to heart moment. Father’s Day is coming soon, it is good that we have put aside one day to celebrate the special man/men in our lives. However I personally feel that every day should be a day of gratitude and saying ” Thank You” to the special people who touch our hearts.

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection.
