Tuesday,sunshine and glue

Guess who went to bed and didn’t plug her cell phone in to recharge, first two guesses don’t count. Usually no big deal, however, in an efficient mode these past months, I’ve been doing a tidy up. You know how we can get when the season is changing, especially from winter to spring. “We never use our land line” said I. let’s get rid of it, we both have a cell phone, that will work out just fine.

Good idea, right.. the hands free phones stationed all over the house for ease of access, went bye-bye. I admit there was a feeling of relief as one more item on my want to do list, got a tick mark beside it. For every action there is a reaction. I had my cell phone number changed to the main home phone number, so that worked out fine, more or less. Calls I got for “the husband” simply were rerouted to his number. BUT what happens then when our phones are not nearby, and we don’t hear them ring (ah HA! I got a blue tooth thingie, and I can answer mine from most parts of the house as long as the phone is within “striking” distance ,1,2,ever 3 rooms away .. NOT if you are not wearing the bluetooth

Or if you are busy working on some project, like making greeting cards for the Church sale coming up in June (18th) and you are working with a sticky glue, that sticks to you, but not the card stock!!! The handy hands free that used to be by the desk is gone, your phone is in need of a change, and your blue tooth gadget is ??? somewhere on your other desk in the clutter there.

That golden moment when you remember, your new set up, the cell phone has call answer and voice mail, YAY, so what your fingers and hands are full of sticky glue, you phone will take a message. All I need do, is find Hubby to get the SSS (Skin so Soft- Avon) great for taking away sticky stuff .. I’m sure somewhere there will be a website that will tell you of all it is claimed to be good for. For us, it’s getting the glue/sticky off.

The start of a brand new day

open the window wide

take in all that comes your way

for only today

will you live the golden moments

for tomorrow, they will

have flown away.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

There is always a positive to a negative

Yin/Yang

the two compliment each other

and become ONE

PL Thanksgiving Feb.2016

Look at the snow, it was piled so high, that I wanted to capture it, but couldn’t really get the same view I had from inside the truck. I had stopped on the way to church to take a picture of the fire truck that was sitting in the parking lot.

Big red shiny truck… some ladies love their diamonds, today, I went for the chrome, and the size of the truck. At the time, when I first approached taking my pictures, I wasn’t aware of the fact, that sitting in the dark corner there was a fireman. I had seen several disembark and go into the breakfast place off towards the back. I was happily walking around snapping pictures of the chrome, and it wasn’t till I went up for this front shot, that I felt eyes watching me.

I was engrossed in the taking of pictures.. after all how often does a person get up close and personal to a fire truck. By the time I had made my way around to this panel, the “men” who had gone towards the restaurant were back.. They were a tad amused, we had a chuckle, and of course they apologized for not having the truck at its shining best for her photo session.

Look at the grill, isn’t it beautiful. I’ve seen these beauties outside the fire stations in spring, summer and fall when they are being washed and polished. I was some chuffed to see one up close and personal. It was a great way to start the day, what was ordinary for them, was a total “fantastical” moment for me.

LOL a big mound of snow and a shiny red and white fire truck, helped make my day today… How about you.. you having a good day. In Pl, we try to make every moment count. This morning, sharing smiles and some happy .. made for a great kick off to the day.

first winter storm 2015

It was our first winter storm in 2015, and guess what, the year will be over very quickly, only a few more days now, and we will enter into 2016. With the storm warnings, and the cold blowing winds, I’m sure that there were many who were not loving the day. Especially with buses stalled, and stuck in snow banks, the cold weary commuters had to stand and wait in the blustering weather for transportation. It was certainly a dump, no light dusting today… when I left the house shortly before nine there was already a good foot of snow in the driveway.

Snowblowers and shovels were the toys being used today. When I was leaving home and hearth on my adventure, I saw only trucks like mine or bigger, on the roads, and of course commercial vehicles. The big city plows and sidewalk cleaners were likely in the downtown core and major streets in the city’s core. I could hear the ice pellets hitting the roof of the truck, yes there was some of the little crystals gems flying through the air as well as the flakes of snow. I couldn’t hear the wind, but I could see the trees bending and the commuters hankering down into their winter coats with scarves wrapped firmly around for more protection.

So what was I doing out? I was enjoying the day. I watched the gray mist darken the day, when I got out of the truck to enter a building, I felt the cold on my face, and the embrace of the winter chill. My boots left a deep waffle like texture in the soft snow, and my coat kept me warm while I walked. I had the store basically to myself, the staff that did make it in, were busy telling of their adventure, I had time to wander and delight in the treasures that were laid out for me to discover.

Clerks had time to visit, we enjoyed some social chit-chat, while we dealt with the transaction at hand. It wasn’t rushed, it was nice and leisurely, and then while walking back to the truck, I got to appreciate how the snow had fallen and covered the truck in a blanket of white… there was a crystalized veil across the windshield… the pattern a lovely lace. Mother Nature had done this in a very short time, she is obviously good at what she does.

Smaller cars were having their challenges, I decided to take a different route home.. It was a little longer maybe, but it was a bus route, the roads would be plowed. It wasn’t till I got back closer into the city proper that I saw just how much traffic was being affected. For sure I had to be extra careful, stay focused, and enjoy my surroundings while staying vigilant. I loved it.

It was good to be out on my own, going from A to Z I even broke out in song. Yes. be thankful you were not with me. I felt that my positive good mood would see me home safe and sound, and it did. I had a great sense of satisfaction in my outing, it was rewarding even… I didn’t let the voices of “others” over shadow my desire of experiencing the day. I embraced what was presented me, and took it all in, and said thank you at the end of it all… the great mood just continued on, and tomorrow, will be another day… Hopefully just as amazing as this one was.

You know who else had a great day… the children who got to make slides and play in the snow… and the skiers who finally got enough snow to have a day doing what they love to do. =^_^= life can be magical!

I loved today … and I love YOU

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.

bom dia…bon jour…. hello!

life itself is simple

it really is

it is the human mind

that complicates

what IS

I am sometimes at a loss

not necessarily for words

but for the “music” or visual if you like

to accompany the words

in life, there is always a positive and a negative

you cannot have one

without the other

one person speaks, the other listens

the start of a conversation

one sees something, and captures it on film/photo

they have already seen it,

what they are doing is capturing the moment

to share, to show, to express

one picture, a thousand stories

not one person wil have the same reaction

however, we will each have a unique response

if we stop long enough

to allow the moment to speak to us

Happy July 4th

Happy July 4th. to all of you who are having a week-end of celebrations. When we were in Upper NY State at the start of the week, we saw many preparations already being put into place. Banners and flags, it was very festive, now that the day is here, I expect there will be dazzling fireworks and a lot of get togethers. Somehow when I think of July 1st (Canada Day) and July 4th. (American Independence Day) I relate it to happy get togethers with friends and family.

If we approach everything in life with the firm belief that everything is for the best, and that the experience, or moment will be one that will provide growth and development,… what a positive it will be,

The days have been full of sunshine, although I’m told that in Texas it is also VERY hot. Holland has been going through its own heat spell. Where I am i Canada, I look out and see the cherries ripening on the tree, the birds have been flying in and out of the branches having their morning treats. Until recently the Saskatoon berries were in abundance, if you drove by you would have seen me reaching up into the tree taking my share. =^_^= Nature provides.

BLESSINGS OF THE DAY

Share your Happiness

Good morning everyone! Hope your day is going well for you. Did you all enjoy wearing the “green” ..I personally had a wonderful day driving along the St. Lawrence (the great waterway that separates the United States and Canada) The day started out with -20 something weather, but turned to a balmy minus single digit by the time the noon hour was upon us.. Definitely during a Canadian winter we did not see a bicycle rider such as the one I’m showing you today. LOL and even on a good sunny day in summer, we are not likely to see such a sight here in Canada. Here we are about cars, motorcycles, and more cars. Riding a pedal bicycle is usually a recreational or sport activity. What caught me about this picture is the balance and way the artist packed his merchandise on the bicycle. We are all artists in life, we all use our gift in different ways. This man had to pile the pineapples in just such a way for him to carry the load and maintain balance so he can get his wares to market. Everything has its place. This was one moment in this man’s life captured in time. PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

Yesterday while my friend and I drove along enjoying the sunshine and our friendship, we got to talk about life and share just being able to catch up. Both with busy lives, we can keep in touch, but while her activities tend to take her daily in multiple directions, she still works “9-5” mine is more laid back and my time more flexible. Sharing feelings, joys, sadness and disappointments is important, not because you want someone to resolve an issue or make something go away, but just to hear a thought out loud gives US a different perspective. PLUS, when we have a better understanding of a friend’s feelings and thoughts, we are better able to share in their happiness. joys and sorrows. PL Principle # 4 I will live with the spirit of Misasage (Devotion) working for the happiness of others.

somewhere in Mongolia on a clear day….

Calmness and adaptability will see you through…

11th of the month, Ancestor Day

We are who we are. No amount of cosmetic surgery, make up or fashion styles we make will change who we are, or where we came from. What does change is the way we use the skills and God given talents we have (understanding of life). This is an old Japanese print that I found, and thought it was a very appropriate visual for today’s greeting.

The clever and subtle messages of the artist are wonderful. I see so many possibilities of interpretation. He/she has captured the happiness of the cat being worked on, the little claws are out as it kneads its contentment into the carpet. How one feels when enjoying a wonderful relaxing massage. =^_^= the look of face on the “giver” is focused and mindful of what it is doing. The signer stamp of the artist is an artistic sign of the TAO.. Yin/Yang. Male/Female, Active/Passive and this is what the picture is a balance . Harmony of two energies. TAO – complete ONEness in the moment.

You are here today, thanks to your ancestors. Their actions, lives were instrumental in your being here at this very moment. On the 11th of every month, through ceremony, we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for their protection and guidance so we can continue to live the PL WAY. (Perfect Liberty) Service is at 10 a.m. today.. Life is Art ( PL Precept #1 )

Happy Tuesday to you all………. May the sun shine its warmth on you today &, bless your night with the happy twinkling of the brilliant stars that dress the moonlit night. Oyashikiri

Shadows and light

A photographer, I’m in love with shadows and light, they can do amazing things to an otherwise ordinary “picture”
How we perceive our lives is also often coloured by the “shadows and light” in our minds.

Take time very day to “view” your ” situation” in various light, shading, and angles, the complexities of life can be awesome, or dreary, it is all in how you “view” them.

PL teaching > Let’s be Simple and Straight Forward with Our Expressions. If you hold your feelings in, you will always be filled with worry. Always make efforts to express yourself freely so you can live with a clear state of mind.

Good Morning Everyone! Bring the LIGHT into your life, start your day with a SMILE
