Thursday surprise for Leonie

FYI The dolls still have not discovered the mystery connected to the chest of drawers, they were too excited to learn about Leonie’s surprise package.  It arrived shortly after the noon hour, they saw it being delivered, but of course were unable to bring it in themselves.

Leonie was thrilled when she got to go out, the parcel was for her!  Finally her guitar had arrived.  It is always nice to receive a gift, especially one you have been wanting for so long.

To show her appreciation she would practice songs the others liked and play for them later when they gathered around before bedtime.  Silently she gave thanks, she remembered the lesson  in the PL Principles ..#3  Live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

Not everyone lives in a happy home, always share your happiness and joy with others, a smile goes a long way.

birthday-grillWhat is this?

It is a gift from my son,& his bf & partner, wonderful Brig,  who is patiently holding it so I can see it.  The question was did I want it all.  Hmmm tough decision.  In the end I went with the fender and logo.  I would have loved the whole truck grill, BUT I did have to be somewhat realistic.  I don’t live on land with lots and lots of room, we are on a city lot, walking distance from the city’s core.  It now sits in the living room where I can see it every day.

PL Principle # 3   have a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

I am grateful that my son and his Brig are so thoughtful, they are such blessings in my life.  I appreciate that he spared me going out to the metal yards to round this up for myself.   I was planning on have a go at going there with the tools to harvest whatever I could find.  But lovely Brig and he went out on their own, and found it for me. =^_^=

prince-edward-2011-sand-banksA day of adventure, at Ontario’s Sand Banks.  It was on the cool side, the summer tourist and cottage season over, the beach was a paradise of sand and surf.

prince-edward-sand-banks-2011There is something hauntingly beautiful about spending time on a beach that at times is so crowded with human energy, that it is buzzing…  and finding it quiet and peaceful.  The land simply “BEING”.

prince-edward-sandbanksWe will be heading out at the end of this week, to go where-ever the road leads.  I love my memories of a time that was, but I am keen to discover, the world that will unfold as we take roads less traveled in our quest for new places to appreciate and enjoy

a pile of wood you say

more a work of art

I’d say

look at the array of colour

the texture and the pattern

of each and every

piece

come winter

someone will find

comfort and warmth

to bring peace

and sanctuary

on a cold winters day

on this 21st

day of August

thanksgiving day

for those of us

who walk the PL “way”

I give thanks

and pray

with gratitude

in appreciation

for all that comes

my way.

Accept Everything With Appreciation

Did you know that a honey bee will visit over 2 thousand flowers in a day if it needs to!  That is perseverance to get a job done.

Could this be where we got the saying, “busy bees”

Sea una persona capaz de agradecer todas las cosas que acontecen ante sus ojos.

Aquellos que agradecen mucho son felices.

Today is the 21st and in PL our evening service is about appreciation, and giving thanks.

Today’s lesson

Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them.

A person who is always thankful is a happy person.

The use of words is very powerful.  Once we speak them, we can’t take them back.  A teacher in an English high school showed the movie to his students.  He showed the movie because he was genuinely passionate about teaching, and he wanted his students to learn, and grow as humans.  It wasn’t so they would rebel, but to expand their minds and open up the world around them. Communication is key in any and all relationships.

Today in PL(Perfect Liberty), it is Thanksgiving, a day we set aside each month to show our appreciation and gratitude to God for the blessings we have received. and to give Thanks.  A Thankful  Heart leads to Happiness.  Two services today, one at 10 a.m. and another this evening at 7 pm.

To all the Fathers out there, Happy Father’s Day..  In today’s society, I think that the day should include all the single parents, who have to pull double duty.  Being a parent is a life long commitment.

Namaste      –      Oyashikiri
