Where would you like to be today…
Sometimes, words are not needed. We need to simply BE. PL Precept # 1 LIFE IS ART

Sometimes when the world just gets too busy – when there is no spaces in the day/night we find ourselves in “overdrive”. It is hard to think clearly when we are bombarded almost 24/7 with chores/tasks/responsibilities. The “Universe” takes over. We get sick, we fall, we have unexpected situations, we have no choice, we have to take a time out. 
When was the last time, now think before you answer…. you gave yourself permission to enjoy quality time for YOU.
No, you don’t have to have that cell phone with you 24/7. No, you don’t have to reply or do something “right away” because that is always what was done. When life gets so busy, you feel overwhelmed… it is OK.. to stop, step back.. and take time for YOU. YOU matter, YOU are important, YOU count. Yes the dishes have to be done, but they can wait, they will not disappear, believe me I know.. No one sneaks into your home to do them for you.
Its cold out, its raining… the mosquitos are bad… blah blah blah. yesterday, I toured a new nursery (to me) a huge indoor greenhouse, tons of happy vegetation, lush green leaves, interesting cacti, in the outdoors area, I got to enjoy Japanese maples, Honey locust trees, evergreens in all shapes and sizes. The herb section was a paradise of delightful scented air. When there is a will there is a way.
Today it is a long sleeve sweater day. We had steamy hot … take it all off .. weather not long ago… This is what life is all about. From one day to the next, it is a new beginning.
In PL, #1 Precept is. Life is Art…. # 2 To live is to express One’s Self. # 7 Everything exists in relativity. # 16 All things progress and develop. # 18 EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT
It all begins with your determination.
Things begin to happen the moment you decide “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude.
Please make time for YOU.

know someone who needs this message.. pass it on.
Life is a sublime experience
We come from No Where
We are Now Here
and we are heading to No Where
What is the difference between, No where and Now Here… space

ever dream of riding on a cloud… sitting peacefully … allowing yourself to drift aimlessly
simply BE in the NOW

Sometimes, I’m still standing, still around, but simply not seen, there is just too much going on around me, passersby, lost in thought, walk on by. Albeit brief, I enjoyed the visit… please come again soon.
PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop
PL Precept # 17 All is Essential
Are you too busy all the time? Who schedules your day? There comes a time in life .. when we have to realize that if we are “too” busy, then it is our responsibility to look at what changes can be made… All too often, we apply ourselves to work, or the “wants” of others, and put ourselves last. In the end, we are born into this world on our own, and we will leave it … on our own.
I walked the bog yesterday, first time in awhile where I have gone all the way around, the rain of the other day, left a layer of dampness over everything.. I was delighted to actually see a few mushrooms.

It isn’t always easy, but when there is a will, there is a way!
If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.
No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. (PL2014.26)

Gathering a peanut in each cheek and if he can manage it, a third and even maybe a fourth.
Make today a different day.
Instead of doing the same old thing be creative and do things to improve your day.
Oyashikiri
Be creative in your efforts
If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on. (PL2014.16)
I realized this morning that yesterday I travelled through two provinces and followed along the St. Lawrence River and part of the American shoreline… the weather was amazing, ambiance and landscapes were picture perfect…. and I didn’t take one picture. Not one. Never even occurred to me I was so in the moment. Lost in the beauty of NOW.

Happy start to a new week everyone.
