We all have different ways of feeling and thinking
Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

Freshly made wontons, brought home and made a wonderful soup. on the left, stock is being prepared with bone broth, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger, and fresh cut sweet onion, with corn cut from the cob. I used part of the wontons for lunch, then the last of the wontons I made another soup for dinner.
Today the 21st. we celebrate Thanksgiving (Day of Appreciation) service at 10a.m. Japanese Curry on rice after!!
Let’s all take a moment to say thank you… for all the blessings in our life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let’s live with gratitude toward everyone and everything all day today.
If you can’t make the day service, we have one at 7 pm,

Thank you Yoshiko, wontons were amazing!
My Porti, Canaille, she was the love of my life … my best friend, my one and only, When I saw this thanksgiving puzzle, I had to do it…
There are always special “loves” that share our “world” always do your best to treasure every moment you have with them… There is only “NOW”
Put Makoto even into small things.
Don’t let things go with “oh well” You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into all you do. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you.

Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day. Each and everyone of your actions can inspire peace with your family, community and the word around you. This peace will eventually help lead to World Peace.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
Did you know? Every spring grouse come from near and far to perform elaborate courtship dances at their breeding ground. Around sunrise the males spread their tails and inflate their feathery chests repeatedly in one of the fanciest dance moves ever made by a bird. I have been blessed by hearing this .. I’ve heard it but have yet to see it.. It is awesome.. the first time I had no idea,, .another birder explained it to me.. Nature is fascinating.

Every key plays a different note,.. assembled together played in different formats, they produce sounds that can be melodic .. it matters where they are played and how they are put together. In life, at one time or another, you will land on different keys. Each landing will produce a different sound, and reaction from you. In some there will be harmony, in others. . . you will draw on your creativity to get past the experience… In PL.. the first precept is Life is Art.
YOU are the result of your daily efforts. Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through. PL 2022.10
Q? When you are about to eat, you pick up your utensil, and take a bite… do you finish the first bite before starting on the second?
Do you take time to masticate and thoroughly enjoy each bite?
Highs and Lows, Sharp and Flats.. All part of having an interesting day!
Tomorrow the 21st. (Thanksgiving/Day of Appreciation) there will be two services, one at 10 a.m. and the other at 7 pm.
Begin your day with appreciation. Welcome each new day with renewed appreciation, and step forward with a feeling of World Peace in your heart.

The woods are alive with the singing of the birds these days… March is just a few weeks away.
Service this morning at 10 a.m. and an evening one at 7 pm. (Day of Appreciation/Thanksgiving)
Your Path will open up if you let go. Your heart is weakened when you are swayed too easily by money, things and reputation. If you can let go of these things, you will be able to truly express yourself.
nb* Thanksgiving Service on 21st. 10:a.m. and 7 pm
Have a great start to a new week!
Banana tea… a bedtime cuppa supposedly known to have a “sleepy” nudge into a night of satisfying slumber. The article suggested a ripe organic would be best. if too starchy or sweet, only do the skin. I tried it last night. Keeper and I watched two videos on how to change a nebbie avatar to mesh body and head. (in Second LIfe)… OK. I watched, she slept like a baby. I was the one who drank the banana tea. Anyone out there tried this?
Live today filled with enthusiasm. Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Pl Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do .. (sincerity)
Thanksgiving offering at a friend’s place. I’m glad I wasn’t there, it would have been a difficult choice on what to put on my plate. Montana is a tad far to get to for a meal, but what a spread she put out for her friends! Wow! Wonder if she made everyone eat with chopsticks! Hope if you were celebrating Thanksgiving, you had a wonderful day/evening. Now its time to carry the bounty of kindness and good cheer forward.
Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make the effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way.

My choice, is happiness, I like to feel and be happy!

Sometimes in life, we have to deal with challenges we were not expecting. How do you cope.. “let me count the ways”… It certainly took me by surprise one day to find that ouch.. that hurt, and .. contrary to what I thought. .. after a rest it did not go away. It did calm down, but it did stay around, and by the looks of it, it has no intentions of just packing up and going away. Others suffered with this painful “nasty” not me.. Hah! Nature does not play favourites
I do suspect I know some of the “sitiuations” that could have caused this latest flare up, the cold damp weather that has landed in the area, due to the coming season change. Not wearing proper footwear that my “current” time of life requires. i.e. heavy insulated outdoor gear .. is now too heavy for my unhappy hip joint to carry around when I’m out and about. Means.. I have to (had to) consider getting myself a pair of boots that will do the same job but are more lightweight and easier for me to maintain my “active” lifestyle.
We tend to want to continue doing things the way we did,,, and we don’t take into consideration that “change” affects us all…not just “others”. Have the new boots helped, yes.. but it will take time now for me to allow the joint to recover. This means.. R E S T I N G the joint when it says “stop” I need to heed the warning. Gosh.. rules, rules, rules..
This is thanksgiving week in the USA so for us here in Canada, we get to enjoy focusing on appreciation and practicing mindful awareness of all the good in our lives. Again.. note to self, this should be done regularly all the time.. without coaching or civic reminders.
Today’s calendar
Move forward with confidence. Experiences you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.
