Value your intuition
When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something you should act upon it right away. PL 2014.19

Did you know that PL has a unique way of offering personal guidance? Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals, and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. Thru consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation.
To complain is a waste of your energy.
Whining and complaining will not change anything, Look for the shortcomings in your own thoughts or methods and tackle your problems creatively.
Live life with a smile!

I used this imagine in my collage yesterday, I don’t know what it is about this time of year, but I simply do love seeing the forest take on “NEW LIFE” … The water will evaporate, the stump will dry up…. the world will present me with a whole new look in a matter of weeks. The birds that had been dropping in for visit over the cold brisk days of winter, have moved on. Occasionally a blue jay will see me and come screaming for a peanut, but all in all, the birds/animals are feeling the delicious calls of “nature” ….
Today is the 21st. in PL, the 21st is a day of celebration, it is a day where we offer our appreciation/thanks. Time to give thanks for the bounty we are presented with daily, for the friendships we share, and especially the gratitude of simply knowing love in our lives. I know love is such a small word with such big meaning.
Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day.
Each and everyone of your actions can inspire peace within your family, your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to world peace.
PL2020.21
Live with love in your heart… share your gratitude with your family/friends ? Happiness begin within.

Snow..lots of it… you won’t melt, get out and enjoy it. The snow falling is light and fluffy, there is breeze that blows the feathery snow around.. kind of magical. It had to have been a steady downfall, it is the first time that I’ve had to sweep out the snow from the feeders with a little brush. Swept it off the domes too.
The snow started falling in the evening and we’re told it will continue till late afternoon. A really fun day to be on the slopes or snow shoeing across open fields. An afternoon by a cozy fire, the flames snapping and crackling creating an ambient sound that is relaxing…a lazy stay at home day… your choice.
Ohhhhh sooo happy, the plow just did a first pass on my laneway… Whoooo hoooo, that means I’ll be able to get out..
We are all wonderful in our own way
Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious.
Ok everyone, now I can get going,,, heading out… have a great day …

LOL.. still will have to shovel the snow from the garage door, the plow can only get so close.
If the snow is falling in your area.. be careful, stay safe.
Some furry scampered across the freshly fallen carpet of snow. Any ideas?
Make today, a “give back day!” Kindness to others , is the best way to give back.. Express your appreciation, smile, make eye contact when you see a friend. When you say, “how are you” wait, listen for the reply.
Don’t be capture by momentary troubles but continue doing everything with sincerity.(Makoto)

These were taken yesterday, it was balmy, mind you I was bundled up with a very long coat, and Bogs* (boots that are made for Canadian winters, keep the feet warm to -058 degrees.) .. and layered “to the nines”. To do the Bog on days when the winds are whipping over the landscape, can be very refreshing. I enjoyed my walk, there was no one else around, There is something to be said about sitting on a bench in the middle of a snow covered Bog. The birds were huddled in the woods fluffed up, keeping warm. The one squirrel I saw was nuzzled in against a tree in the elbow of another branch. He had no interest in leaving the sheltered nook for a peanut.
When I got to the part of the Bog that leads back to terra firma, the wooden boardwalk that crosses over water, was snow covered, the winds had picked up enough that the dried stalks from the water plants .. whispered and sang as the spirited winds ran through them. Beautiful and serene.
The walk provided me with time for quiet reflection, any sadness was carried away by the breeze. Its cool caress as it gently brushed my cheeks, wiped the silent tears. Nature embraced me with the comfort I needed.
Your smile is what is needed
A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons. (PL2022.28)
I spent time with a small fierce falcon yesterday. He/she and I had a staring contest, he could have been as curious as I was. My cell phone capture the bird enough so a friend could identify it. I am using a picture found on the internet.
The Merlin is a small species of falcon from the Northern Hemisphere . Bird of Prey it is fast and goes after song birds and shorebirds. Falco columbarius
Countdown. New Year is knocking. “Shinnen omedetou gozaimasu” (新年おめでとうございます) —– Gong Xi Fa Cai May wealth and prosperity flow into your life this year!

Happiness is… looking up and realizing that there is an Evening Grosbeak looking back at you.
Made my day, I just stopped in my tracks and admired … the delight that filled me was instant I waited all last year for a glimpse of one.. and now.. here it was … the moment of sheer pleasure. Bold as brass, it just looked back to acknowledge my admiration… then went back to his breakfast.
Handle things that come your way one by one
Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently this way, (PL2015.19)

They have dark heads with a bright-yellow stripe over the eye. Females and immatures are mostly gray, with white-and-black wings and a greenish-yellow tinge to the neck and flanks.
