It’s important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important, Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.

Avoid having too many “likes” or “dislikes” Whether it is food, people or anything else in life, be careful not to overly like or dislike something. Things tend to get complicated when you allow yourself to be overly one sided,

Rev. Goto recently took the students from the PL School in Japan to the PL church and training center in Hawaii .. he graciously gave permission for me to use this pictures.
There is such beauty, in this picture, yet you can feel the inner energy that lies quietly in a fitful slumber. Human emotions can run deep, one of my Mother’s favourite expressions was.. you should never judge a book by its cover.
Listen with intent, listening is an art. be observant, BE in the present.

Experience the joy of being kind to others. The joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. Always strive to be a person who can be kind to others.

Time to contemplate, think about the twelve months we have just enjoyed. Seems it was only yesterday we were saying goodbye to 2022. How was your year, you content with how far you’ve progressed? It is a journey isn’t it. Each day a new adventure. New opportunities.
Before entering a place of meditation/prayer/worship… in Japan, there are places to ceremonially wash prior to entering t he dedicated space for showing appreciation/gratitude.
We all have our own way of preparing for and entering into a new year. Whatever your tradition(s) you are wishes all the best of everything in the coming year, Good Health, Prosperity and above all Much Happiness

Japan …
Photographs of Japan as seen by a young man (Lucas) who is ticking off an item on his bucket list. He is touring Japan, and sending back pictures to his Mother who has with his consent sent them on to me, with permission to share them with you. When I opened up my e-mail and saw the pictures I was immediately taken back there, how I miss the tranquility and beauty I found there. I try not to remember the food, but it is hard to do, I ate so well when I was there.
Japan when you visit, is what you see in the pictures, There are pockets of serenity everywhere.
Today’s calendar-
Get things started with grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it!” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

- here I am requesting HELP .. yes please if there is anyone out there who can unravel the secret for me I will be eternally grateful. Please Please Please… I confess I am not domestic and I have never been, but lately it is beyond me.. how to do a wash with sheets in the load and not have twisted horror balls of damp knotted sheets when you go to collect your wash. You have a small load, but in it is a fitted sheet, or maybe a duvet cover,(single bed size) .. I use dryer balls (on someone’s recommendation) it still happens!!!!! Surely you don’t run the machine with only a single sheet in it?
OK.. sigh.. deep breath… I’ve done my mini rant for help. There has to be a domestic goddess out there.. or magic merlin.. I don’t care… please.. what does one do to have a load of dry clothes without the knotted horrors I keep getting.
ahhh.. ok.. on with the day. Have a great Tuesday everyone.
Sunday 18th.
Be mindful with prayer, If you work on things with a prayerful heart, there will be many things you can be taught.

Thought that since my world these past days has been wild, windy and very snow covered, i would share with you what is happening across the oceans in southern Japan. Different climate, weather, and habitation.
These moments caught in time where Anastasia was enjoying her explorations, were likely happening at the same time I was taking careful steps across an icy parking lot to feed the birds…
There is beauty all around us, we simply have to open our “eyes” to our surroundings. Be aware that while this is visual, the differences are also very present in our day to day attitudes, thoughts, and perceptions.
Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves.
Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you toward accomplishing what you set out to do.
