Enjoy the moment while you wait. Things come about when they are meant to happen. think of what you can do for the time being and don’t rush the outcome..
Perfect Liberty 2020. 10
Can you see the ducks? Perfect camouflage, Sometimes in life, just because we don’t see something, it does not mean it is not there. When we practice being in the NOW … living each moment, taking our time in dealing with whatever situation comes our way… it is amazing how much clearer our situation /experience can be to us.
Today’s calendar quote is
Make the best use of Materials and Money. You can do different thigs as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.
Bom dia.. Good morning.. and then… another day began.. that means another night of sleep had come and gone.
Do you ever wonder where you go when you sleep? Has it ever occurred to you that your body when it’s tired simply wants to shut down… When it feels rested it will (on it’s own) wake up.. We take our bodies for granted, our heart pumping, our digestive system chugging away processing the “stuff” we ingest.. Our brains try to put order into all the information we take in during our waking hours. All this happens and we take it for granted (most of the time).
It is when something happens that we sit up and take notice. Should we be doing something different, should we me more attentive to the inner workings of our bodies? Not just deal with things when there is a hiccup in our system, or we have an accident.
I found myself trying to go to sleep. Earlier I had been yawning and very tired, but I had other things on my mind and I didn’t listen to the messages the body was sending me. Then of course, I had to wait for the body to want to sleep again. Sigh. I tried listening to music, that wasn’t working, my mind didn’t want to hear the same old, same old…. and when I looked for something different.. I heard a little voice say…. be quiet.. just let me be.’
I remembered yesterday’s prompt, and my response about Silence, I was guilty of having a noisy mind myself… keeping “busy”. I turned everything off,… wow.. silence… and then,….
Smiles.. sleep came.. and now its morning again! Good Morning!
Today’s calendar..
Respect the existence of each other. The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other,
Others are others, I am I. If you force your values about anything on others it can be self righteous. Don’t be overeager and have and have a sense of “Others are others, “I am I’

Perfect Liberty Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity.
Good morning everyone.. some of you may have already seen this cartoon. My sister sent it to me, it resonated with me in many ways. When I told a friend about it, she remarked she had seen it already on Facebook. Of course my sister sent it to me because she is the “happy” sister with a sense of humour, and I had been moaning to her about having to cope with ongoing symptoms of the fall I had,.. How it had me home more than I liked.. and taking more naps than I wanted to.. blah blah blah…
We all at times, reflect on, or focus on something … that really,,, if we step back, and look at the positives that the change(s) has/have made… we see the world in a totally different light. That picture not only made me smile (a good happy smile) the saying ” whomever you’re important to… will look for you.” clicked and stayed with me. I hear it now repeat itself often out of the blue… It is so simple and so true. Thanks Sis!
Enjoy what happens People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its Name
There are days when we simply don’t want to face the world, sunshine or not. We want or need time to rest, to invest in our selves. It is all part of the “maturing” process. Take life as it comes, in little steps.
“Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings.
Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.
Perfect Liberty 2021.5
Sometimes, one is engulfed in a sadness or an over powering emotion that simply defies definition. There is not always a black and white solution. A caring partner/listener will do his/her best to not only listen to what is being said, but to read between the lines, about what is not being said.
The longer a friendship exists, the more the other person can understand and or relate to what their friend is going through, how much that person will actually “say out loud” and /or even acknowledge. Caring isn’t something we can pretend to do, sincerity in word/action is something that cannot be “faked”.
“Listen” and “see” with careful attention and accept each other. Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without preconceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.
We are not born wise, wisdom is something we acquire as we make our way through life, some lessons learned are more thought provoking than others. Always the opportunity lies waiting, often as bold as brass, sometimes not, but always, the opportunity awaits discovery.
The other day, I picked up a small wooden puzzle of a flamingo. 22 pieces of wood that one takes apart and assembles, Everything needed is included. 2 sheets of wood with laser cut pieces ready to be pieced together. sounds simple doesn’t it.
Well not obviously to me. I saw it and thought it would be fun painted. I took the two sheets of balsa wood and thought about how best to paint it .. decided a white first coat would be good to prime it before I got fancy with the acrylic colours. FOCUSED on the painting of it, I proceeded to lavishly coat it with primer and a base of Titanium white acrylic. Set it aside to let it dry.
All you woodworking buddies out there, have you started groaning yet. Yup I did that. I was even considering if I should do colour splashes on the sheets while they were still all together on the sheet.
Not once did it enter my noggin that in so doing I would be bonding the pieces with the medium. Nor when I came to take the pieces apart, did it dawn on me to first use my knife to cut the pieces .. I have a full set of blades, several different handles, I am well prepared for such tasks, I’ve worked with wood for as long as I can remember. What was i thinking!!! OK we know the answer, I wasn’t.
Needless to say. I made a mess of things. It happens, the horror of it all struck me with a lightening punch. “Girl, where was your head”
It’s okay to think “this is where it starts” There is always a turning point. It’s important what you do from now.

Will I have the patience to try and put those pieces together, repair all the torn and broken ones, the simple reply is NO. It was an idea that came and went. I accept that I made a shambles of it. Obviously my mind was not on what I was doing, only on one part of the project. In not thinking it through first, I made a proper mess of it.
Time to go find my Canon and wander off into the day. I wish you all a very happy and productive day. Love YOU.
Obrigado, thank you PL, por me ensinar amar assim, por ver Deus dentro de mim e em quallquer lugar. for teaching me to love and to see God within me, and everywhere around.
Good relationships begin by greeting each other. Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people t work and around the neighborhood.

Work well with everyone regardless of their age or position. the opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solutions, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders.
