buen dia, buongiorno, a good day to YOU

Good morning dear friends, I found a quote today, that I am going to post the way I found it, and then make a few changes to it. Smiles I hope you enjoy it.

Can’t do it, I’ll have to retype it for you……. Yay it worked. See persevere and you will get results! Ah life is good!!!

So here goes, for me this says..

It has little to do with the position I have in life

or the title that is given me (status)

whether or not I have fame or fortune

but everything to do with

the Dream in my heart

and my sincerity and desire with in me

to give everything I have

to being the best person I can in this life.

Namaste Oyashikiri

PL Principle 1 I will live paying careful attention,putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.

PL Precept # 2 To live is to Express One’s Self

El estar ocupado es gratificante

It is a Blessing to be Busy!

Oh come on now, really?

yes really, I am at my best

when I can be on the go, exploring, doing

Ah, you don’t mean work, 9- 5

Of course I do

when I am busy, I feel good, I love seeing the results of my efforts

True, nothing is “always” fun,

but doing something, accomplishing something I’ve set out to do

that is rewarding

When we live to enjoy each moment, no matter what we are doing

we discover our strengths and get to use our creativity

Cuz, like we say in PL, Life is Art (Precept #1)

“Alegrese de estar muy atareado y procure estarlo siempre.

El hecho de estar ocupado

es una evidencia de ser querido por Dios

It is a Blessing to be Busy

Enjoy being busy and continue to seek more work

Being busy is God’s way of showing you, that you are loved”.

so .. laugh

The other day I had to take my pc in for a health check up. I’d already had a home visit and the problem couldn’t be solved here. There many of you out there .. that know the void of being without your regular PC.. Sure I have a totally freaking almost new laptop. But it isn’t my PC where all my files, pictures etc. are.

I sat at my desk when I got home and felt.. lost… abandoned. I had to set up the Asus to work with. Not just have it for when we travel etc. Nothing is simple. It has Win.8 so as soon as I fired her up, she wanted to be updated to Win 10. Ok made sense my PC is Win 10 so I thought I’ll just do the upgrade. An hour later, I was still waiting for the upgrade to finish and do reinstall etc.

abandoned, country farm house

Time for seasons to change, clock kept ticking away, I wasn’t getting to my “work”.. Oh did I mention that one of the reason’s the PC was being fixed, was that Norton had disappeared off my machine.. and weird things kept happening in almost all the programs.

When I tried to used google on the laptop (my fav search engine and where I got my mail etc.) (Norton works on the laptop) a BIG warning with red X dangerous do not open, and of course it just wouldn’t let me use it. hmmm how else to get my mail, the icon that the tech had put on when my laptop was set up, was deemed an enemy. I tried all kinds of ways to access it and all were blocked.

abandoned, tumblr

By now my creativity level had dropped significantly, the cobwebs in the gray matter were getting tangled. Oh look, hello I think it is all updated and ready to go.. Look Look, see Jane run….no icon for my mail, and there doesn’t appear to be a browser.

outer space

I am now ready for the blotter, a small corner will be fine. Really it was time to tune out.. and forget that the internet age is even in my office. I thought I should get out my craft supplies and make a card. Certainly I was not in sync with my technology. Finally thru a virtual connection, I got a link to download Internet Explorer.

abandoned doll

Needless to say.. it was a worn and weary little doll who wen to bed last night. I thought I would summarize this experience with a Snoopy cartoon I found through another blogger.

Thanks for listening, it always helps to be able to babble to friends.

sunshine on a gloomy day, yes!

PL Precept # 6 Live as the Sun

Have you ever noticed how even on a gloomy day, if a ray of sunshine comes through the clouds, your mood changes, you look up with appreciation, and sometimes smile.

Life is full of an accumulation of small events/moments. If we go through life focused only on what we consider, big, important things that need our attention. We miss opportunities to notice other things. How often do we walk by a neighbour’s house, intent on getting to the bus stop, or to where we are headed. We don’t see the neighbour unless they speak to us, nor do we see their garden, the flowers… we are on “the go”. Busy, Busy, Busy.

Our lives are what we make of them, Our days, nights, how we live them.. we are creating our own unique work of art.

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art

Be like the sun, bring sun shine into the lives of others, it will radiate back into your own. Cultivate positive and strong relationships .. When we love with a true and trusting heart, the rewards multiply and happiness becomes the mainstay of every day life.

Good day, Bom dia, Goedendag

The start of another work week, you find yourself doing the same drive, at the same pace, and really not getting anywhere fast.

Is today, another day, or is it like yesterday, ho hum, if you turn the radio on, already they’ll be playing songs that are all about snow and Xmas themes.

Did you bring your thermos of coffee/tea? What is it that is keeping the traffic at such a slow pace.

You realize no matter how you fret, or how you moan and groan, it is simply going to happen the same way every day, unless you change your pattern.

Maybe go a different route,it could be a bit of a round about way, but the scenery will be different, and hey

since the traffic is not all going the same way, lane after lane, just maybe

you’ll get to work on time, bonus, you’ll have time to leisurely make your way to your desk

habits and patterns are hard to break

we do get attached, some of us .. no matter how long it takes us, we are determined to take that fast lane with every other driver headed into the city

Try doing something different today, just for fun, see if you can do it… with a happy start it can be done,

when we take the challenge to do something different, we are often surprised at just how easy it becomes to find that doing something new, is rewarding. Letting go of tired and old habits, can and will leads us to a whole new way of seeing life. New experiences, new people, and new adventures.

When we follow our dreams, and walk unknown roads, we grow, we are happier, the seeds we sow, will reap rewards.

Psalm 62:8

Hello everyone.. How are you today… Bom dia

We’ve just had a few days where in North American, many celebrated Thanksgiving, especially in the States, With people being as connected as we are with social media, Canadians, got to enjoy another taste of Thanksgiving with American friends, Thanksgiving, also heralds the beginning in earnest of the holiday season. Yes, stores have been playing Christmas songs, but the big event in both Canada and the USA has been Black Friday. commercials, marketing, merchandising, sell, sell, sell.

I heard not a peep about how and why Thanksgiving came about. Or the teachings of being grateful for what we have, instead it was all about, how much more can I get for my dollar. The news carried stories of where to go to get the best deals. One slick commercial after another.

As we enter into December, we will get more and more reruns of the Xmas past, and the films that come out each year about Santa Clause and the North Pole

In PL (Perfect Liberty) we believe that “Life is Art” Precept #1

PL Precept # 11 is always be with God

and PL Precept 3, is God appears through One’s Self.

It is very difficult to feel a quiet and a peaceful state of mind. Every moment that happens between the movie, film, program whatever we are watching, is all about spending, seeing how much money you can spend, how to acquire another material object. Not to mention,killings,stabbings, violence, and of course, humanitarian projects for people thousands of miles away, while we ignore the hunger,homeless and discriminations/ persecutions right here in our own backyard.

That said, I know that we all hunger for that silent time, the moment that is ours, that is not being bombarded with senseless chatter or music that rather than soothe is jarring .

Perhaps it is because it is late, (early morning) but the Psalm came .. it drifted into my thoughts.. Psalm 62:8.. is about putting your trust in God.

It is a reminder to let go of agitations, to surrender the nattering mind to a “divine” state.

To let healing loving thoughts take control of your tongue, to think before speaking, to support and cheer others on.

PL is non denominational, we appreciate the language of Love/ God however it is spoken and lived. We are all unique, and need to express and walk with God in our own way.

I never walk alone

you are always with me

with love in my heart

I am in step with you

you are my life,

invade it

fill it, transform it

With God/Love, nothing is impossible

goedendag, bom dia

Light bulb moments… we’ve all experienced them from time to time.. that Ahhhh moment… that moment where an awareness goes “smack” and we wonder how we had missed seeing it before.. Truth be told, we didn’t miss it, our stubborn resistance to it was just too focused on doing either something else, or wanting it to be another way.

Our minds are a cornucopia of wow, super fabulous, mundane and useless thoughts. Some are very creative and helpful and others not. I like to think of myself as a teacher, I’m bright, I’m helpful I’m a student of life, who applies and works diligently at working to bring peace and happiness to others …etc.etc…etc.. I’m a bright light….duh…NOT

LOL.. when will I learn.. when will I actually practice what I “preach” When will I tame my stubborn nature, my lazy nature, will it every happen. Will I always be like the shoe maker who makes and fashions the most beautiful of shoes, and wears run down uncared shoes him/herself.

In PL we say ” We are all born into this world with a one of a kind personality and Makoto (individuality and unique character) given to us by God.” In order to do this, it is important that we do so daily, focusing on expressing our true selves with Makoto (sincerity)

PL precept # 7 – Everything exists in Relativity

PL Principles # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

Light bulb moment’s happen for a reason, when we realize the lesson they are teaching .. when we grasp (once again) that we are still allowing our “conceit/determination/stubborn nature” to alter , hasten or remove what IS… try to reflect on the moment, the lesson….. and work to improve… ask yourself why???? why do you do something that you know… because deep down we do know…… that until we do… history will keep repeating itself.

Never let a good light bulb moment go to waste.–

Have a light filled day,

God Bless

excessive concern

There is a saying or teaching in Pl that encourages us to let go of excessive attachment or concern about someone or something. “EN wo Tsukeru”

In one of our books “Live with Passion” by Rev. Yumiko Tsuyama she gives an example of a your couple whose child was seriously ill with pneumonia. They were constantly at the hospital, fussing, fretting and agonizing over the state the child was in.. The fever was not going down.

They went to church and prayed with the minister. He asked them to put their faith and trust in God. After their prayers as they were leaving to go back to the hospital, Sensei surprised them by suggesting that they go to a movie. It took everyone by surprise, but they did go see a movie.

Later the friend reported to the minister, “I was so worried and couldn’t stop thinking about my baby, but gradually, as I watched the movie, I became interested and laughed and laughed. I forgot everything else. After the movie, my wife and I returned to the hospital. It was a miracle. Our baby’s fever was gone”

The worry and “negative” stress of the parents, (EN) unknown to them could be felt by the baby, it unsettled the baby’s own “energy” and impeded the work of the “Universe” True faith is not easy. It is a life long practice.

PL (Perfect Liberty) Principle #15 – I will no do anything overly

Each and every one of us, has concerns that cannot be resolved easily.Problems that could seem trivia to others may be serious problems for you, because you have to deal with them everyday. How you proceed, how you live with your “challenges” in life, makes a big difference. A positive state of mind is something that we cultivate and encourage in others and ourselves.

Live a prayerful life

What was, is…

Abandoned or forgotten, is there a difference…

On the 11th of each month, we in PL (Perfect Liberty) celebrate Ancestors Day,

with a special ceremony. Through this ceremony, we express our gratitude

for the love and virtues of our ancestors, asking that we ourselves, continue

to grow and learn to bring love and understanding to others in the world around us.

By now, most of you know I love to discover an old abandoned vehicle, and capture it

to enjoy and add to my Pinterest board, the neighbours I’m sure appreciate that i don’t

bring them home to display on the front lawn, or the back forty. Not all of them are left to the elements

some like the one above have been lovingly restored, and are happily on the road again.

We can do that with an object, but with a human heart, no……

Once the love and laughter is gone, and the body fails to carry on

we are left with an empty space, all that will remain is a memory in its place

Appreciate and love .. today…

In expressing appreciation to God in our daily lives, with sincerity (makoto)

we renew our determination to follow and practice a way of life that ensures

our memories and our quality of life in the moment, will be good ones.

Seek to retain focus in your faith and connection with God

Always – Forever

hmmmm – disquiet – sadness – forlorn

Really?

Could this be me?

Why do I feel this way….

I am sad because i failed to see

that my Russia Olive (tree)

needed me..

You see I planted her

when she was very young,

and until recently I have checked her every day

she is not hard to miss,

she is right outside my bedroom window

and to the left of the deck when I go out.

Yet with the heat

and with all the … this and that…

that have been happening in my days

I saw she was getting top-heavy,

but I didn’t go further then register that thought

in my sun drenched, heat wilted brain

With an overnight rain, now she bows her head

in shame, for she is no longer standing proud and vain

Yes she has even started to bear fruit

her very first year to produce fruit

now she needs repair

True in nature on her own, she would be fine

but i adopted and brought her here

and put her down in the ground of a city lot

I took responsibility, and then forgot

The PL Second Founder said: When you have to pay for things, pay them joyfully and quickly without regret. In the same manner when you something to be done, let’s do it without any reluctance or hesitation. When you have to say something necessary, let’s express boldly and shamelessly without any compromise. This is the mot natural and right way to follow, PL Precept 19. Begin once you Perceive.
