Thursday doors….
Little door that leads to learning, relaxation, and promotes sharing. How great is that.
Have a great day everyone. Tomorrow the 21st, we have Thanksgiving service at 7 pm. Please advise Rev. Eugene if you will be staying for the Japanese curry so that we can prepare accordingly.

Fishing, although I don’t fish, is something I think would be a quiet, comtemplative type of activity. I have seen pictures of people kayaking along shorelines, alone, silently cutting through the water, seeing the lake, river, from a totally different angle. If fishing, is there really a need to catch or “hook up” with a fish, or is it the very activity itself.
My son an avid kayaker, loves to fish. Not to bring the outdoors home, but to communicate with nature in his comfort zone. The water is still cold, we have not had any seasonally warm temperatures..yet already he has been in swimming.
IF I had a bucket list, a lazy drift in a kayak would be in the top twenty. =^_^=
PL Calendar day 15 Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best”
Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best.

PS I don’t swim (son’s kayaks)
you are my rock – there I stood, looking out, searching the horizon
I looked down – and there you were, just waiting for me to realize that you were
as always, right there by my side.
there is a world for us to visit, explore, discover and see
but you are always, right here with me.
what a blessing it is to be me
unconditional love and only love sets us free

PL Precept #11 Always be with God
having a bit of fun are we
yes, and I am not out planting a tree
I am inside playing on canvas
bought at the dollar tree
one is of me trying out an idea
the other is a portrait of me
having fun, just being me
oh dear, how can it be
somehow they both represent me
I can tell
can you tell
which canvas shouts my name
of course this is a game
for both are me, myself and I
these simply reflect pieces of the pie
that will be me till I die
but I will never die will I
for I am part of
forever more and always.
Q
Someone has not had breakfast yet. What am I doing with all these food photos? thankfully I can truly say, MOST of these meals were not mine. The stomachs that most of these foods were digested by, were in the States.. =^_^=
In Japan most restaurants, cafes etc. post the dishes they serve outside at the door, so the customer can know what they want to order when they come in.
I am already contemplating dinner/lunch out. HINT 
PL calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting”
Even when you are dealing with a “difficult” situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it

Working and living =^_^= go together – living in the NOW means you are interacting and being present all day, whether it is work or play, you are involved. by putting your best into all you do, the experience is uniquely yours. What ever you do today, enjoy it. Yes, really… do your best.
PL calendar day 4 – Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others.
Junho 4, Pense em felicitar a si e aos outros, sendo honesto consigo.
