Life is 10% what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it. (Charles Swindoll)
With one thought, “the world” will change. changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world. (PL 2021.24)
Have a good day everyone!
Today’s quote, is one I need to print put and put on my mirror, on my PC screen .. a kitchen cupboard , my car door, almost everywhere. I have multi tasked all my life. It is time to make a supreme effort to change what is a habit that no longer feels comfortable to me. Just because we have always done something, doesn’t mean that we keep doing it.. when the willingness and the desire wanes. When I was carving out a career path and thrived on achievement.. it was a breeze and I loved it. A snow storm, bah.. I would strap on my X country skis and ski to work.. early before dawn to avoid traffic.. if the skiis were not going to work used my snow shoes I had the will and would find a way.
Life is different now, I am supposed to be retired, Seems I’m busier than ever. BUT my mind may want to be active, my body wants to slow down. Yesterday I pulled my folding chair from the back seat of the car, and simply sat with the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and wild turkeys. Yes it was still on the “cold” side, but soon the morning sun, warmed my face, and I felt a weariness I had been refusing to acknowledge begin to stir.
The singing of the birds, the sound of the big male turkey pecking at the corn, the squirrels chasing and scolding lulled me into a nice restful state. Even the blue jays turned down their cawing …it was amazing. Bonus later as I drove away, the sandhill crane was closer to the road, through the trees I got a good look as it gracefully lowered its head to graze.
Multitasking reduces your joy in half, When doing something .. give it your all. There is joy in everything. PL2021.23
variety of sparrows, doves, juncos, red wing blackbirds, cowbird, you name it, they all dropped in. and lets not forget my ravens who were calling from above. Life is so brilliant when we stop to listen.
Avoid having too many “likes” or “dislikes” Whether it is food, people or anything else in life, be careful not to overly like or dislike something. Things tend to get complicated when you allow yourself to be overly one sided,

Rev. Goto recently took the students from the PL School in Japan to the PL church and training center in Hawaii .. he graciously gave permission for me to use this pictures.
There is such beauty, in this picture, yet you can feel the inner energy that lies quietly in a fitful slumber. Human emotions can run deep, one of my Mother’s favourite expressions was.. you should never judge a book by its cover.
Listen with intent, listening is an art. be observant, BE in the present.
Always live with hope in your heart. With a clear image in mind, move forward with enthusiasm. Your dreams will surely come true with perseverance.

The best timing to take action is when you notice it. When you take note of something,, it is a signal from God/Universe that you should take care of it right away.

Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement. If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for shortcomings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.

Every morning I visit this tree.. and each morning I see signs it is enjoying the balmy weather and the brighter sunshine, The other morning it was full of chattering birds, The happy chatter filled the air with enthusiasm and brought smiles to everyone around.

Hello. look what a friend introduced me to! We were talking about conservation areas, our dogs, just catching up … When I was shown a picture of the family dogs, I noticed her backyard was different from what I know to be backyards here where I live. Oh, yes, we are in the “high desert” she said, that is the Garden of the Gods you see in the background. Then she sent me the link to the web page for the Nature Park. Colorado! I have seen pictures in the past taken when other friends have holidayed there… however.. let me tell you… I book marked the page, and I will be going back to look at the stunning vistas again.
How easy it is to forget that there is so much in life to be explore and experienced. I would love to experience actually seeing those beautiful animals myself. Or taking in what looks like crisp dry air. I love my four seasons here in Canada, but that park sure looks like it would be fascinating to explore.
Treasure those fleeting inspirations. The time to seize an opportunity is when you first notice it. Good timing is crucial to working efficiently.

Do things in moderation. Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.

For Thursday doors I thought to bring you two very different buildings. Not only in purpose but detail, yet.. in some ways they are similar. Both doors lead to structures that house very different purposes. Same applies to people, we all look different, yet, we are all the same, our outer expression is different. But we all have hopes and dreams, we love, we cry, we feel loneliness, and we rejoice in happiness while feeling the pain of loss when around us there is chaos.

Have a great day everyone!
