Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Greetings to you on this lovely sunny day. The weather has turned a little cooler than it was last week, but I love the hint of zest, that little tang or crispness that has filtered in pinging our hardwood trees with a flirtatious kiss that starts the leaves blushing and in some case, turning crimson red.

Driving down the highway towards Orleans (Ontario) I was totally smitten by the wide sweeping colours that waved to me as I passed by. The sun was beaming down and all around me… there was pure happiness in the air.

The flowers here are Oli’s from Australia, they too are enjoying this time of year. No matter where we are on this planet.. what is that old expression… it is always after 5 pm somewhere, if not where we are. The sun works its magic wherever it is.

So do we….. PL Precept #8, live as the sun.

Music is a venue that brings friends together. tonight I will celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness at a party, the DJ always plans his events to challenge us in our knowledge of music from the past many years. His eclectic style and library of tunes, means he is “really does ‘ challenge us.. who can name this tune, what date did this come out..etc. (DJ Nick from Michigan) He will be followed by a DJ from Oklahoma (Bluelou McGrady) who with his brand of Blues will have us moving and groovin’ unable to sit still for longer than a minute, no matter our best intentions.

When we share our talents, and give freely of our time to inspire and great good times for others, happiness and friendships blossom and bloom.

The venues for these events, the first one is at Pacifique owned by the lovely Eclair Martinek, and the second event is at a down home southern bar/club Rocking the Blues complete with swamps and alligators owned by Miss Kira Wyldfire, please note, all names have been changed to protect the innocent. =^_^=

These ladies practice living their lives, walking the path of true friendships and welcoming hearts, this is reflected in the people that work with them and the audiences they attract.

We all come from different backgrounds, worlds, places, our histories are different, our lifestyles could be miles apart, but what we all have in common, is the desire to be happy, and to live peaceful and joy filled lives. We love our friends, and we cherish those who have stood by our side through thick and thin.

This is Canadian Thanksgiving, the American one is in late November, and the Church of Perfect Liberty, we celebrate Thanksgiving every month, on the 21st. We focus on gratitude, appreciation and give thanks, for all that we are, and will be and for those we love and appreciate, past and present.

Love is forever, it really is…

Share a smile today…

10,7 > appreciation

Isn’t this beautiful. A picture of a faded bloom from Australia, a very dear and talented friend down under sent me flowers the other night. This was one of the pictures. With the hours spent sitting in the hospital this past week, I felt that this could be a floral representation of my “bed hair”… Soft wispy and static charged.

Being in a different climate, and location on the globe, the vegetation will be so different, here we are going into the colours of autumn, which for us, are the reds, golds, deep metallic shades of rust and crimsons. Where Mother Nature has yet to focus, there is a soft peachy blush to the greens on the hardwood trees, Even a squeeze of lemon.

Please permit me to take a few moments to say a heart-felt thank you to each and every one of you who share this time with me. I know while I was away recently, this blog gained new readers, with my being away from the office, i saw mail, but could not respond. Thank you. Welcome. I could not be … without you.. I truly do care for each and every one of you. It is a joy and a pleasure to visit with you.

In Canada, this is our Thanksgiving week-end. please travel safe if you are on the roads, eat wisely, =^_^= think, “waste” or “waist”. LOL there is a spoil sport in every group.

Happy Weekend …. may your days be blessed with activities that will bring happy memories for years to come.

Chop suey 9.27.16 -abandoned

There are times when I feel simply overwhelmed by the creativity of others. Thus was the case here, my husband is used to my hollering “stop the car, stop the car” and having to pull over turn around and bring me back to the “whatever” that brought on this outburst. I was totally taken by this building, it was once an antique car lot. The detail, the whimsical character of the architecture. I would have loved to have met the previous owner.

See the tie man!! I loved, loved, loved it. I toured around the building, as much as I could without being an intruder.

The second floor balconies made me itch with curiosity. Wanting a ladder or access to the inside to I could get closer.. I’ll post a shot from the road, so you can see what I first saw.

Like HELLO.. how could I just drive by and not get a closer look. It was on getting closer that I saw all the details, and the charming way the owner had put character into the building.

This is what life is. Think about it. How often do you meet someone, or see someone and think, how interesting, I wonder?? But, we never follow through, we never take that chance .. we are polite, and go about our business. I was blessed that in growing up, I was encouraged to meet and greet the world in a positive light.

Not only in old abandoned buildings and lost,left behind vehicles do I see beauty and wonder. I see it in my fellow-man.

There will be more pictures of this house, (Norm’s “Thursday Doors” ) but before I sign off, please let me show you the car that was left behind. It was being textured by Mother Nature, she was looking “some” good…=^_^=

Beauty if in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it ….

For those of you who love “rust detailing” and the different patina that Mother Nature can bestow on metal

this car is showing a lot of promise

so it was, past & present

So it was, there before me, in its majestic glory, the ocean. It was later in the day than we expected to arrive, but here we were. Other cars were parked along the road, people with their camera poised for that perfect picture. For me, it was the moment itself that was perfect. Taking in a deep breath, the rest of the world around me disappeared. In a second one can live and relive a lifetime. No matter how often such moments occur in my life, I am always amazed that such serenity and peace can wash over me, filling me with a gratitude and appreciation that no words can fully express, the blessing is to live that moment to the fullest.

The camera can capture the landscape, and perhaps a “mood”… but that moment of connection to the “Universe” is very personal and unique to each person who was there on that highway, we all experienced our own individual “blessing”

Some of us travel on the water, some of us are grounded on land, but no matter where we are in life, when we experience that intimate connection with the Divine force of Nature, we are captivated, enthralled and in that moment, we are ONE totally engaged in the transcending power of LOVE.

Wordless Wednesday – Byward Market

I would like to say I resisted bringing home some fresh corn………………. however……………….. I cannot tell a lie ……………………….. the caramel corn was too juicy and plump to resist.

FYI. I will be taking a vacation, for a week plus. heading for the ocean. I look forward to seeing you all when I return. The vast expanse of ocean, and the sound of the waves making their way to the shoreline is calling… I know you all understand.

Meanwhile, enjoy your days, take in the night

dream of delights

carry love in your hearts

for you will be in mine

love always.

low mein Monday

I confess, I’m a minion fan. I don’t go seeking them out, but when one lands in my mailbox, I find that for the next lost minutes, I’m following the trail to more. This one, spoke loudly enough that I claimed a copy to share. How many times in a day, does my LAZY mind make itself known.

PL Principle # 14

I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working,

nor be overly concerned and complain about others.

PL Principle # 5

I will not get angry at anyone or anything

always, I love you

smile and share the happiness

YOU are loved.

Choices

It is the start of a new month. A new beginning. In PL (Perfect LIberty) on the 1st of each month we have a ceremony, we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. That means anywhere we are “present”

PL Principle #21 I will live with the spirit of “Misasage” (devotion) working for the happiness of others.

PL precept #10 Love yourself and Others

When I feel one thing, and do another, then I am not being true to myself or to the person or situation I am interacting with. It is not always easy to think before we speak, and, unfortunately, once the words leave our mouths, they can’t easily be taken back.

Let us begin this month, with a prayer in our hearts that extends out to all whose lives we touch. Let us work towards acceptance and understanding when we are faced with something that is unfamiliar to us, or not in our comfort zone. In the end, we may decide that we simply will have to agree to disagree, but at least, we listened to the option. BEFORE making our decision, (choices)

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

at the end of the day,

we have to make peace

with ourSelves

Peace

begins

within

Learn from everything – aprender que tudo

In life, if we are present in our daily activities, we soon discover that all in life is a mirror. When we are faced with a choice, the easiest way is not always the choice that will make you happy. Just because you think you know something, doesn’t mean that you do.

I took my camera to Japan, intending to come home with pictures galore. I barely had time to think of having my camera out, nor had I the inclination when time was available to me. C’est la vie. I had a wonderful time, even though the long traveling time and the change in atmosphere/weather proved to be a challenge for me. More once the jet lagged has moved on. With no internet I have missed your visits, I will look forward to catching up when I can.

Till soon

Thursday doors 7.14.16

Windows and doors. always fascinate, a glimpse, a peek, sometimes it is the door itself that holds our attention.

There is always a hint of mystery, when I see a door that interest me. I want to peer inside, better yet, I want to step over the threshold and go inside.

I always knew that behind a door would be something new. No matter how many times I would push open the door, another “happening” would occur.

I will be exploring new dimensions of time in Japan while I am away. I hope to have more to share with you on my return. I may or may not get time to post over the next weeks, so know this. I am going to miss you, each and every one of you who share my world.

may God keep you safe, happy and healthy

may each new day bring joys for you to enjoy

Till soon, I love YOU

Chop Suey Tuesday 12th.

Although I would like to say that life is rolling along, at its usual pace, it hasn’t. Since my decision to follow through and go to Japan for Kyososai * it has been a merry ride of excitement and new discoveries. Who knew, that one seemingly every day decision to return to Japan, could spur such initiative, and possibilities! Not I. But in PL, it isn’t unusual, and I should be used to it by now, but, I’m not, I ever cease to be amazed at how far-reaching goodwill, friendships, and kindness can reach. What is coming home to me is that miles do not separate kindred spirits, true connections are universal and heartfelt.

PL Precepts # 11 Always be with God

The teachings of Perfect Liberty unite us where-ever we are.

PL Precept # 10 Love yourself and Others

In PL, we learn to appreciate and be thankful for all that happens in our lives. There are no failures, there are opportunities to grow and learn. If one path is not open to us, it is because, we have to redirect our energy and find another way to reach our objective. In TAO, we say, …… the only constant in life is change …….

When a company,church, group or individual, refuses to look at and accept that changes are sometimes necessary to progress and unite, there is disharmony, Life can become stagnant. When we open our hearts and embrace and appreciate the world arround us, we recognize that the unique differences or really sometimes our own perceptions.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

Kyososai: is a special celebration . It is celebrated annually on August 1 with a ceremony at all churches in the world. Kyososai (PL Founders’ Day) in Japan, is HUGE, people come in the 1000s for the celebrations there, it is very famous for “the Art of Fireworks”
Musubi – Oneness, togetherness with Others.

the funny was sent to me by a friend, I found the picture adorable, and my oddball sense of humour, laughed at the caption. =^_^=
