express yourself
Do you find yourself waiting for the right moment. Waiting for the “plan” to come together, then find out days, weeks later that “by golly”, it is not done yet, or you’ve lost the thread of that “great” idea?”
The PL Day 12 Carry Out What you believe in..
Once you have prepared everything to the best of your ability, seize any opportunity that comes your way and take action without hesitation. Express yourself to the fullest.
There are times, when we can fool others, but try as we might, we cannot fool ourselves. Deep down, we know ourselves, even when we try to do otherwise… The truth is within.

Family
Good evening everyone…
With a busy day, a stressful afternoon, and a stomach that was being quirky, I just wanted to zone out… crash in my recliner and daydream. It wasn’t happening, my mind just wouldn’t settle. So, I called my sister. She had just made herself a yummy lunch (different time zone) of freshly made Gazpacho with fresh produce and some tasty pasta.
In her part of California, they were experiencing record highs (heat) so she came up with a zesty dish she could enjoy chilled. Talking about her recipe and the thought of something similar I was inspired to get up and check out what was in my kitchen.
To my delight when I looked out on the deck I saw that a plant we had been nurturing for the last couple of years had bloomed. Wow… I had no idea, I found the plant next to a dumpster in the West End, looking very pathetic, didn’t know what it was, but I saw it, and another plant that looked like a vine, Liked the look of them so brought them home.
They have been watered, and simply tended. In the spring they go out on the deck and in the fall they come in. Nothing was expected of them. The vine grows nice big green leaves, they fall off during the winter, and return in the spring, no more no less. The one you see above, looked like it was just surviving, When I saw the bloom it was a real treat. I put out a “what is this” on Instagram, my cousin in Halifax replied “hibiscus”
Isn’t family wonderful!
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
We always have choices, we can dwell on negatives, or we can enjoy the positives, show appreciation and be rewarded, with more happiness and contentment in our daily lives.

each moment is a turning point
This is a sign post on the campus grounds of the PL headquarters community near Osaka. I remember when I saw it, wondering if the construction happening off to the left, was something that would be finished that year, that was 2013. Japan has been very “present” for the last several days in one way or another. In particular these everyday signs/objects
Do I know why, no I don’t. It is as if something is trying to speak to me, so I’ve been searching through pictures and casting out greetings/messages to see if anything “pops” up that says, “hey look here” So far nothing, just this strong urge /desire to be in Japan.
A visit now, will mean that I will be the only member from Canada going, there will be a few members from the States I’m told, in a gathering of many, we may or may not connect. I am surprised that I am wanting to go without the “security” of other church members being with me who speak the language and know their way around. Previous time in Japan has shown me that English is not a language many people speak or know in Japan. But.. it seems there is a reason for this present moment, and I will have to practice patience to discover just what this “opportunity” is all about.

Pl Precept # 16 All things progress and develop
This peaceful and serene place is also on the grounds, day or night, it is tranquil and energizing. This picture was taken from someone in the party from Spain, I love it. I am filled with anticipation, yet I still don’t know if I can swing the trip on such short notice.

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.

I’ll end it with an awwwww moment!
timing
Being in the right place at the right time, having your camera at the ready, and the lighting just what is needed to capture a moment in time.
When I saw this photo, taken by John Westrock, posted on Flickr, I thought, “what a good capture? and moved away, but something drew me back to look more closely. I must have contemplated on this picture for some time… I saw how the graffiti in the background sat like a halo over his head.
I wondered if the two shoes on his feet matched. Some how, I felt that this man was having a peaceful morning smoke and was contemplating life in his own way. I decided he was content just basking in his solitude.
Of course this is totally a fabrication of my own. I wasn’t there, I don’t know the man and have no idea just how long ago this was taken, or where it was taken.
What I do know is that the artist/photographer had a talent and a good eye to see what he did and click that shutter when he did. I thought I’d visit his page to see what else he had posted. Hellooooo.. not what I expected at all.
Timing, patience,total focus on the moment, these are the ingredients of a good capture, a moment caught in time, some are worthy saving, some are not. Some moments will change you forever…
So it is in our daily lives, I began my thoughts this morning with the 1st photo, that I now know was taken sometime in 2013, research and dedicated time to search precious moments, a luxury, no I don’t think so. I believe we owe it to ourselves to make each moment count, in a way that allows us at the end of the day to say, “thank you God” I had a wonderful day.
When we live practicing the Precepts and Principles of PL (Perfect Liberty) we grow to know that no matter what the day brings our way, we can deal with it, we can embrace the moment and learn just what it is about ourselves that caused that moment to take place.
In PL, there is a Precept, #7, Everything exists in Relativity – Precept # 11 is – Always be with God, two of my favourite meditations.
Timing
when we find ourselves truly embraced
and caught up in the moment
we often will find that we have come face to face
with an unspoken fear
and in that very moment
the fear is no longer buried by layers of the past
for you have recognized it, at last.
