What happened

Happiness is not about luck, it is about how you perceive the world around you. I grew up thinking I was Chinese, then one day discovered that I was part Irish. Go figure on my Mother’s side, Did that change who I was, no, for some reason, I have always just said, when asked, I’m Chinese. Interestingly, come March 17, I want to wear green, and I feel a kinship for all that is Ireland. (Irish)

The PL teaching for the 17th . is “The things that happen in our lives are neither good or bad. It is our perspective that determine whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.”

When I wrote my virtual blog earlier, http://virtualluna.blogspot.ca/ I wrote about weddings, love, partnerships, it took me on a trip down memory lane.

Later in the day I spoke with a special lady who told me of a beautiful relationship she had, and how it had ended when her partner passed away.

Love is such a beautiful emotion, when there is true love, I am a believer that life is and will always hold that love in a very special part of who we are. A good friendship never really dies, it fades away, but the joy of that friendship will live in our hearts for a long time.

I agree, some people are just not meant to be lovers, or married, but at one time they shared a very special bond, and that memory, that experience, will always be part of their chemistry, (makeup).it will form who they are in the present. We all know the expression, “it is better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all”.

What happens when we fall in love, and what goes wrong, who really knows. But when the happiness and joy of being together is no longer there, When you no longer can share your heart willingly, then it is time to let go and move on. Love is a blessing, it is a gift, not a chain that binds.

So today, while the leprechaun play, and the fiddler has us dancing, hold out your hand and clasp the friends you care about … recognize and appreciate that this is a day to be happy that they are in you life.

“May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

And the rains fall soft upon your fields”

—-

“and until we meet again may God hold you in the

palm of his hand.”

I truly love each and every one of you…

happiness, mine or yours

Sometimes we have to decide

which path will lead to our own happiness

we want to please, or accommodate

but know that in doing so

we will chip away at our own sense of Self

and well BEing

PL Precept #10 – Love yourself and Others.

When two people want different results,

when the communication is one way

Then you must think for yourself, and do what is right for you

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in Relativity

You cannot change another person

The only person you can change, is your-Self

PL Precept #5 One’s Self is lost by Being Emotional

I truly believe that

PL Precept #18 Each Moment is a Turning Point

I retain my peace of mind,

and instead of suppressing a sadness/disappointment

I acknowledge it and move on

PL Precept # 19 Begin Once you Perceive

I can appreciate what was,

but I move in the direction that will nurture my spiritual needs

I want always to be ONE with the Universe/God

To love and feel love in my heart

PL Precept # 11 – Always be with God

PL Precept # 20 Live Maintaining Equilibrium Between Mind and Matter

It can be sad when friendships end,

but if you remember the good in what was

the happiness is always be

we don’t stop caring because a person turns away

love is unconditional

however, we sometimes have to accept

that the other person’s needs

were not something you could provide

you can only love them and pray for their happiness

PL Precept #10 Love Yourself and Others

Wolves

I hope you take a moment to watch the above video clip. This was information that I had not known, and on seeing it and hearing it, I had to pause in my day to reflect on just what it was that this documentary was saying. I’m sure that I will still be thinking about it for some tine to come. I have always had a fascination with wolves, and other wildlife, the same as I feel that we are one with Nature, I believe that any other living being/creature is also part of this world that I inhabit and that we are all connected in one way or another.

prachtig – beautiful

Enchanted castle, mysterious, magical

To be an elf, or fairy, that I could play and dance

through all the many rooms.

Lie and listen to the crystal waters

dancing and whispering

as they weave through the rocks and moss.

What a dream to weave this Friday

Come play with me

We will explore and discover

what lies in the long forgotten rooms

We will laugh and giggle

oh what fun,

we’ll mingle with the birds and animals

that play in the world around us

not a single moment will we squander

For today, we are free

to live the way we want to be

Let us make today

a ME day.

big or small

short or tall

I love you ALL

without crying – nem chorar

“Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike, each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.”

Gautama Buddha

Always

live with hope

in your heart

Your soul will be enlightened

when you learn

not to complain

without suffering

without fear

without crying.

do not be attached

but do not walk away

life is for living

each joy

each emotion

is a sign

that you are alive

trust in the moment

a new memory

is being born.

Sem reclamar – not complaining

~ the message of sadness~

like a garden overgrown with flowers

an abundance of color

an ambiance fragrant and clean

even on days when I am weary

and my heart heavy

and I know not what each moment is made of

I feel

I look

but I don’t see

deep down I am accepting

that this is simply

another day

and

when tomorrow comes

I will once more

tend the flowers

and make my way

towards the open door

and beckoning sky

not complaining

accepting

that not every day

no matter how I pray

will I find

peace

on this given day

one day, one step at a time

I move towards

the unknown

sublime.

into the mist

So tired, I found a place to lay my head

slowly I felt the tension ease away

the world was quiet, yes there were sounds

but somehow, I knew that they were not part of me

I was safe in my space, this warm welcoming embrace

I am set adrift

like the quiet days at the cottage

when I could paddle on the lake while the mist still danced

along the water and the soft sounds of nature

filled my head with joys of solitude

when I was ONE with nature

and my heart, body and soul

found peace

on warm summer days I made my way

through the trees, to the cottage on the cliff

the sun would shine through the trees,

the rough path to get there

always familiar to my feet

I’d climbed it since my youth

now, love and faith

draws me home

ahead there is a light

I know my loved ones wait for me there

its been a good life

can you hear me God

I’m coming home

history -love

This was the future, and now it is history, Trains still run, however, they are no longer considered marvels, or a mode of travel to fear. Does anyone out there remember carbon paper, and the joy a typist had of not having to type a document 3 times, and horror of horrors if a typo was made and you had to realign the paper to correct it. Now I hear complaints on how the smart phones and tablets automatically correct your text, whether it makes sense or not.

Technology is wonderful, and it has improved our lives in many ways, however it is often used instead of human contact and a phone call replaces a visit. There was a time I would spend hours writing out a letter to a penpal/ friend I worked at my penmanship and drawing so that the letter would be fun and personal. Even the envelope got special attention. I wanted my friend to know it was from me as soon as she saw the envelope.

Once posted, there was the wait for the postman to see what was happening in my friend’s world. My Mother would send out cards for birthdays, anniversaries, get well, and any other occasion where a personal greeting would be appreciated and enjoyed. I was encouraged to make personal cards, and I admit it was most rewarding when I would get feedback on my efforts. I carried this into my adult years, but as the technology changed and the newer methods of communicating began to enthrall my creative side, I began to see that I could write more letters and spent time with more of my friends in far away places if I typed out my letters. I would then draw pictures along the side and of course there was still the envelope to do.

Soon the machines got even fancier and we were able to do clip art and a number of other creative things on them, not just type alphabet and numbers. So letters were sent that looked more like a bulletin than a personal hand written letter, In many ways they were slowly being de-personalized. Friends began to use the modern technology more and more, and when the fax machines, copiers, and e-mails came along, well….. the letter writing was like a lost art. We had instant gratification.

This is my personal observation, we have given up personal communication. being with someone, holding or hugging them, showing our caring with the energy and warmth that comes from being part of the air they breath, to transmitting words,/text across miles and being content with our efforts. It is true we can’t always be there in person, but let me ask you please, if I am very sick, or dying somewhere, if you can’t come, at least send me a hand written note, something you’ve touched, and expressed in your own words , in your writing in an envelope you’ve addressed, it will make me so happy.

It can be a simple, I’m thinking of you, get well soon, or die in peace, I don’t care… just care enough to be personal with me. LOL a post it note will do if you wrote on it, and addressed the envelope. I’ll know.. I’ll feel your energy as soon as I touch the envelope.

Love is a feeling, machines don’t do feelings ….

Touch, closeness, being present, is everything.

A valentine

I passed a display of valentine cards today

“you make my heart sing and dance”

said a happy dog with a big smile on his face

“a valentine hug just for you”

a pretty blue bird chirped as it sang from a tree

The sentiments I saw today, were not like the ones of yesterday

when we wrote out a poem,

or picked carefully so that the card spoke what we couldn’t say

and of course, always we hoped there would be mail when we got home

Some for sure, were really corny

and some were just so darn mushy

but honey, you and I know,

that even though you said you didn’t care

if a valentine came your way or not

it meant a lot, when someone said they cared.

So guys and gals, you have plenty of time

to find a special card

that says, be my Valentine

Find one that is ” Eggzactly” right for that special friend or friends

and share a smile that will run for miles

saying simply, a heart/hug from me to you….

Love you, each and every one of you.

Canadien eh!

Good morning dear reader, when traveling we often hear about our money system here in Canada. I found this picture that shows you are coinage, however please note, we no longer use the penny. It was a real change for us when they said, no more printing of dollar bills, and we had to adapt to the loonie. But, we did and the thought of having one more coin to drag down our wallets passed. Then they (government) announced no more two dollar bills, we were going to be using another coin, which in Canada we have nicknamed the toonie. Again the grumbling, what a pain, we’d need change purses the size of makeup bags!

Even telling the time, what seemed to be the way to tell time, when traveling I found out that not everyone knew what I was talking about, and yes we were in an English-speaking country. In French, we also use the above when speaking of or indicating time. (Canada is bilingual, English/French)

True, we no longer can say, “A Penny for your thoughts?” we could, but the younger generation, may not know what a penny is since it is no longer used. At the moment there are still some in piggy banks I’m sure, but the day will come…… In my research this morning I found a whole page of “canadian-problem” #’d fun sayings. If you are so inclined you can check them out. For my purposes, #318 will do

In PL, the PL Principle #2 is.. I will not have complaint about others, matters,nor the weather, Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

Let me tell you, when the changes with the money came along, I did my share of grumbling. Then during recent trips to the States, when I had to pay for things, I found myself longing for my loonies and toonies. How much simpler it is using coins, and not having to deal with pennies. I found myself appreciating the changes that were made, that I had wasted so much time being negative about them.. was a “light bulb” an “ah ha!” moment.

PL Precept #4 – Being annoyed limits your expression, and it does. Sometimes there is distance between the lesson being offered, and our realization of same.

Examples used were Canadian “eh”…. but the lesson universal
