a silent moment



PL day 9 2015 Don’t be swayed by the past; it is what you do from now on that counts Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

Last few days of tranquility, soon there will be outdoor activity with the smell of the fresh new growth, sunlight warm on bare arms and winter pale legs. When friends post the sights and wonders of their backyards, and places that they can wander and enjoy, it brings me such a joy, such shared happiness. Friends are what makes our day-to-day so magical. Each one is like a jewel, with its very own facets and brilliance. Unlike an object, friends are priceless.
I know I keep repeating how much I appreciate and love you all, can’t help it. You all bring such richness into my life that I am at a loss to explain why I have been so blessed.
Blessed I am.
Day 22 of the PL Calendar
Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcomings in others Even though you may not agree with someone, complaining about it doesnt’ help. remember, “We are all human,” and accept each person for who they are.

PL calendar day 15
Live with firm determination, that “this will turn out for the best” Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best
Someone once asked me did I ever get tired of being a “Pollyanna” for those of you unfamiliar with that expression, it usually was used to describe someone who was always cheerful and looking for positives. I like being happy, and I work towards that goal. I sometimes miss the mark by a long mile and another times it takes only a smile to bring my happy back.
That does not mean that I don’t feel disappointment, and at times, totally sad and have no choice but to live through my emotion of that moment. It passes, meanwhile, my body, my mind needed that cleansing. PL Precept #5 One’s self is lost by being emotional Live the moment and move on.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
My love and appreciation to you all.

PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others

day 17 of Perfect Liberty calendar
Have clear goals and take appropriate Actions – Always begin with a clear idea o what your goals are. Once you have pinpointed the target for your actions, things will move forward much more smoothly.
If you celebrate the wearing of the green, from our home to yours, we wish you a day of rainbows and golden moments to cherish always.
If you are like Velcro, he was patient for the picture, but much happier when his “duty” was over. Our “babies” are constantly reminding us, that altho’ they don’t always understand our actions… they graciously put up with us. Trusting that we will get over the moment soon enough. And we do! Cheers!

Keeper did her part too. They shared the burden of humouring the human. Yes they were well rewarded. =^_^=
I have only been introduced to Yoda in the last year. Although I had seen him around, obviously I knew of him. He has only recently come into my immediate “circle” of events, happenings and energies.
He is pretty “cool” I can relate, can you?

In cleaning up, going through boxes, I came across a file folder from days gone by. In the file folder I had copies of a paper I had typed and copied to enclose with special little boxes I made to send to friends.
Special Tool Box, for someone important
Rubber band to remind you how wonderful a hug is, to give or receive
Tissue – to remind you to dry someone’s tears, perhaps your own, so you can see the tears of others.
Button – to remind you to “button your lips” to keep from saying mean things about others or talking when it is not appreciated.
Toothpicks – to remind you to “pick ” out the good qualities of everyone including you.
Band-aid – to remind you of healing hurt feelings, either yours or someone else’s
Candy kiss – to remind you that everyone needs a nice treat occasionally
Gold thread – to remind you that friendship is the golden thread that ties together the hearts of everyone
Eraser – to remind you that everyone makes mistakes sometimes that is all right
Lifesaver candy – to remind you to think of ne as your lifesaver, whenever you need to talk, feel free to come to me
Mint – to remind you that you are worth a MINT to me!
I can not take credit for this idea, I just remember it making the rounds at the hospital I worked at many years ago. I sat on many committees and being a teaching hospital, I also had to meet with peers in other hospitals on various matters. This little “piece” was much talked about at the time. Everyone thought it to be such a great idea. Finding it again, has brought back memories of another time and place. I also think that it very much applies to NOW. What do you think?
Day 9 PL Calendar
It’s interesting because it’s different
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “this is the way it has to be” and free your mind consider other possibilities.
Bom dia to all, Have a great day!

PL Calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting!”
Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.
“True Religion is real living, living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness an righteousness” Albert Einstein
It is very quiet all around me when there is a deep blanket of snow around every inch of ground that surrounds my home. The emergency vehicles are quiet this morning, the main roads and streets must be decent. Commuters who have deadlines must be either there or almost at their destinations.. The quiet of the moment is refreshing. Yesterday I had a sick day, my body dictated that the end of the lunar year should be one of contemplation and rest. I listened.
Today is a new beginning. In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art, I really and truly believe this, each day is a new canvas, where the possibilities are endless. For you my precious and delightful friends, readers and “family” may the Universe enrich your lives with the delight of new adventure, successful results and endless opportunities for your dreams/ wishes. And, the blessing of wisdom in the knowledge that love is with you, now and always.

Rocking the Blues -My friend Kira loved the Blues, she built a club so all her friends could share in her passion for the blues. DJs from all platforms came to share their tunes, and keep us rocking to the many genres of Blues that are played through-out this Universe of ours. Didn’t matter who you were/are, if you loved the blues, shared in the camaraderie of the Blues Tribe, you were welcome.
I have been away and didn’t know she had taken ill again. A friend wrote me last night, we will have a memorial played out over the week-end so that all of us that loved her can manage to get in. All the DJ’s will have a time slot so that you can share in what Kira loved best.. listen to the blues and share and be with friends.
This woman was a rock for me over the many years she has een in my life. Her generosity and loving spirit will always be with me. Rest in Peace my friend, you were an example to all of us, This is not farewell, it is … till soon
Today, day 2, PL calendar is Live each Day filled with hope. (this was Kira’s mantra and motto)
Even in situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always a find a way.
