You’re happy, I’m happy. Have the mindset of “good for you, good for me” Express yourself in a way that makes others happy.

Everything is a mirror of one’s mind,
A memory from the past. Funny I see the clock that reads 1:20 something in the background. Could have been a week day, but likely not, a week-end then. My Mother would have been sitting in her lazyboy just to the left of the tissue box. Timmy (the cat) seems to be tending a purse, so someone had to be visiting. I didn’t expect to see this picture when I opened the file. but… there he was, my Mother’s loving companion, he had a loving personality … time… it has a way of disappearing , moments are fleeting…
Make Today a Memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature. PL.26.22
Oyashikiri
Love that is unconditional is forever …
My mind still talks to you
my heart still looks for you
My soul knows you are at peace
I thank God for having had you
but I still miss you so much!
My niece knew yesterday that I was in having a difficult time… she sent me this quote she found on all-great quotes.com. I saw it only this morning. and yes, the above is all so true.
Ancestors day is celebrated on the 11th of every month in PL Today is the 11th. Service is at 10 a.m.
Oyashikiri
PL calendar day 11 – Remember to be thankful and humble. Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls Khalil Gibran
All in a row
one by one
they sit and wait
for someone to come open the gate
it is a beautiful day
surely today will be the day
shadows play along the walls
racks wait patiently
to feel the weight of their cargo
the sun shines down with promise
anticipation is carried on the breeze
Mother Nature smiles & whispers
“all in good time”
we still are nowhere near the twenty first of May
soon, soon enough,
the grounds will be alive with activity
the sailing season
will begin
for now the few
who have come to enjoy
are blessed with a tranquil day
and open spaces of exquisite joy

So many words come at me, so many ideas want to flow down to my finger tips to be expressed at this time, but I have to pull a few aside and say,,, another time.
When I am having an especially good time, I just never want it to end,but of course, it must, and then I have to work at being patient ….. till the next time.
There are times, when the clouds are gray and I can see that soon, they will get darker, and the mood bleaker…Yesterday we drove along the country back roads, the sun shone down through big white puffy clouds, the patchwork of greens interspersed with fields of soft shades of pastel yellow golds blended happily with our day. Then ahead we would see the darkness start to form and the tall church steeple no longer stood against a blue sky but was draped in a cloud of rain.
There are times when what we see, can indicate what will be, yet, if you are in the moment, then time can be only another perspective of what can or could be. By the time we reached the church, the cloud had passed, we saw the rain, but didn’t experience it, not at that moment anyway ….. we saw time take place for someone else, but not for us.
Time will always be a perception

This is a picture of Mardin, Turkey. What struck me was how different it was from anything I have seen in the part of the world I live in, I just wasn’t sure when I saw it, if I was drawn in, or even if it was real. There is not a tree in sight, a park, a piece of land, nothing. Someone had commented that it looked like a picture from a fairy tale book.
This is Austria,lots of green, yet it is still a world I have yet to discover. No matter where we are, whether or not we travel to these far away places or we stay at home, we are blessed with living in an era where we can meet people from all over the world, right on our doorstep.
We need only be open to the experience.
How often have I walked past a stranger, who looked interesting, and not said a word, even though, he/she looked interesting and we had exchanged a nod or smile. We all do it. We let the moment pass.
It is in opening the window, or door to new opportunities that we discover new vistas, new ways of seeing life, Sharing good conversation with a friend is a genuine moment worth remembering.
A good friend is not one that comes and goes with the blink of an eye. Nor can we go out and search for a friend, they come into our lives like blessings, treasures, gifts from the Universe. Like anything else, they will grow with time, if the connection is real, you will have a friend for a lifetime. It all begins with a hello. Life is…. lived… one moment at a time. Once a seed is planted, how well it grows, depends on us.
no more… no less.

Timing when taking a picture is everything – the photographer catches that moment in time, It is an artistic moment.
The light, the shadows, the focus and the intent, will be forever on display
there isn’t always someone
ready with a camera or lenses
to capture that moment for us
if we were part of that moment, the feelings, the emotion of that moment, live within in us forever
if we were the subject(s) our perception of that moment, will not be the same as the photographer’s
Yet it was together, that the moment was captured. There could not have been that moment without the collaboration or sharing of that space and time
Today I bow my head in prayer
that my day will be one of happiness and sharing
love/GOD is within me, in sharing
even if simply with a smile
that smile will spread for miles
for GOD is everywhere
and each moment lived
will be a blessing to be shared
in love and peace with all mankind.

Good morning dear reader, when traveling we often hear about our money system here in Canada. I found this picture that shows you are coinage, however please note, we no longer use the penny. It was a real change for us when they said, no more printing of dollar bills, and we had to adapt to the loonie. But, we did and the thought of having one more coin to drag down our wallets passed. Then they (government) announced no more two dollar bills, we were going to be using another coin, which in Canada we have nicknamed the toonie. Again the grumbling, what a pain, we’d need change purses the size of makeup bags!
Even telling the time, what seemed to be the way to tell time, when traveling I found out that not everyone knew what I was talking about, and yes we were in an English-speaking country. In French, we also use the above when speaking of or indicating time. (Canada is bilingual, English/French)
True, we no longer can say, “A Penny for your thoughts?” we could, but the younger generation, may not know what a penny is since it is no longer used. At the moment there are still some in piggy banks I’m sure, but the day will come…… In my research this morning I found a whole page of “canadian-problem” #’d fun sayings. If you are so inclined you can check them out. For my purposes, #318 will do
In PL, the PL Principle #2 is.. I will not have complaint about others, matters,nor the weather, Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
Let me tell you, when the changes with the money came along, I did my share of grumbling. Then during recent trips to the States, when I had to pay for things, I found myself longing for my loonies and toonies. How much simpler it is using coins, and not having to deal with pennies. I found myself appreciating the changes that were made, that I had wasted so much time being negative about them.. was a “light bulb” an “ah ha!” moment.
PL Precept #4 – Being annoyed limits your expression, and it does. Sometimes there is distance between the lesson being offered, and our realization of same.
Examples used were Canadian “eh”…. but the lesson universal
no longer can I send a penny and say
a penny for your thoughts, remember I love you
somehow
a nickel for your thoughts just doesn’t have the same sentiment
it took 5 pennies to make 1 nickel
the one in the penny symbolized that you and I are ONE
Sorry but a nickel
sounds fickle
but, all said and done
I do .. love you…
You are the only ONE…

Time was … Time is …
a measurement of time
can clock the miles
of our cluttered minds
Yet, all that really matters is NOW
