Good morning, welcome to a small town along the highways as I made my way towards Valleyfield, Quebec.

.I looked up and saw the door leading …out to no where – then I spied this old concrete structure with the wonderful wrap around veranda.. it must have been a great vantage point for the town parades in the days of its past glory. I am thinking it could have been the village general store.., It was a delightful find.

Today’s thought -reflection.

Improve yourself to have a kinder heart

Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy. ^(PL2021.3)

Here is something else to think about. The other day my neighbour said to me ” soon we won’t be able to enjoy a banana” .. when I Iooked puzzled she said.. “no seeds in the watermelons, no seeds in the bananas, our food is being so manipulated (GMO) there are no seeds to carry on the wonderful fruits and vegetables as we knew them. Sure enough, when I got home, my watermelon, had no seeds, not one. and…. I’m told you have to pick where you get your bananas, they are not always enjoyable to eat (texture)

Have a good day everyone!

Good morning… hello… bonjour… bom dia …

Remember this picture from yesterday? How many of you saw the bird?

The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important, but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face every task with wholehearted enthusiasm. _(PL2012.2)

Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.

I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.

He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!

Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

Tuesday

I was showing this picture to a friend last night, and she remarked that it was interesting how there were no windows on the upper floor. I had not noticed when I took the picture, I was intrigued when she pointed that out, All of a sudden I had a storyline forming … and knew that many of you with creative imaginations for a harlequin romance… could have some fun with the possibilities. I searched my many photos for another view of that house.. came up empty. Spark any ideas out there?

There is always a solution. Always believe that there is a solution to any problem that comes your way, and work with conviction to solve it. (PL2016.20)

hello!

Hello… remember me.. I am here even tho’ I’ve been boarded up … I can still see you as you pass me by… no longer interested in how I’m doing … I miss the sunny smiles, and the cheerful greetings of passersby … It isn’t my fault that fate happened, and I was made redundant.. .. I do smile as you walk by and hope you will feel the cheerful greeting I send you..

Everyone is in such a rush today, always in a hurry, or looking at some object in their hand… I once had flower beds under me, I could watch as each planting grew each year from budding babies to beautiful petals in such an array of delightful colours. Visitors would stop to admire the flowers and always there would be a smile my way .. Alas that was another day,

As we age, we do see and live through changes, Some changes are life changing, and there is no going back. The reality is.. there IS NO GOING BACK… we can revisit the place, but not the time.

Don’t be swayed by the past: It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look toward the future and start with a fresh outlook. (PL2015.9)

listening

Friends are visiting overseas. Nick knows my love of doors and interesting architecture, he sent this along yesterday. Today with the pouring rain and dull overcast sky … I looked at the window and felt a longing to linger … let the sounds of the far away city and the ambience carry me away … Ever wonder what it would be like to drift silently along, passing open windows … hearing snitches of conversation float past you… it would be nice to just let the mind wander and rest on a thought here and there, not focus on anything but ” being present” to whatever vibrations/energy comes your way.

With so many of us dealing with a multiple myriad of “possibilities” every day… taking a breather is so important. I overheard two people talking the other day about their pending holiday. “it will great, we leave at X time, then IF our connections work out, we will travel approximately another 10 hours, before landing in XX and from there we shuttle for another hour… ” I found myself shaking my head and thinking… so much time in transit… I hoped that after all of that, they would have allotted plenty of time for chilling before making that same journey back.

It is wonderful that we can now get to almost any corner of the globe. But no one has yet been able to convince me that cramming thousands of miles in a short period of time is “restful”… especially when often times we have only a limited amount of time to be on “holiday”. Guess I’ll be an arm chair traveller for some time… I love hearing about the travel exploits of friends, but for now.. I will let them stand in lines, go through customs run for connections, sleep in strange beds, rush from one tourist attraction to another. Yep… I’m in another “zone”.

Others are others, and I am I. If you force your values about anything on others, it can be self righteous. Don’t be overeager and have a sense of “others are others. I am I”
Perfect Liberty 2023.13 (English translation done in Japan)

Let’s look at and listen to others with an open mind. your judgment becomes clouded when you look t a situation or person with preconceived notions. Observe them for what they actually are.

PL calendar day 30

Your surroundings are a mirror of your thoughts

When you think “this is going to be hard” then your situation will become difficult Instead think,” Let’s do this!” and face your situation with determination. Then you will be surprised to see how smoothly things will go.

Thursday Doors

This delightful learning tool was in a thrift shop. Each door has a different key, keys are included. The child learns to find the key and open the door it belongs to. Or goes to the door to be opened, then finds the key to open it.. then lock it. If only I had picked it up when I saw it. I had never seen one before.

next… a window view of the alps below.

Enjoy your travels today. Walk through a few doors. Create your own adventure.

Thursday Doors – 9.20

Charm of days gone by. There is so much to take in when you travel a back road. You have to know that you will not get anywhere fast, you simply accept the moments of discovery. This was the scene that beckoned loud enough for me to stop and actually get out. It is aged, tired and worn, but yet it is standing proud. Wind, snow, ice, rain, yes they have left their mark, but the place, for me , still had a quiet dignity. It stood, just off a paved road, but the surrounding land, was rich and bore the remnants of a bountiful crop.

I left today, open to the possibilities, and the Universe provided “seek and you shall find” PL Precept #1 Life is Art

The day was a happy one, and totally productive in a very creative way. I hope you enjoyed the same.

had a good co-pilot that helped..

shared adventure, doubles the fun!

Thursday doors -windows

houses 2x

Good morning everyone, the holidays are fast approaching. We are busy trying to settle back into a routine, and I am once more running the roads on errands. I am especially trying to beat the rush that will take place closer to the week-end, it will be impossible to find parking in the shopping mall parking lots. Already there is a sea of cars as far as the eye can see in the bigger centers near us.

Norm’s Thursday doors, is a huge interest to me, doors being so much a part of my life over the years. I am a keen buff on older homes, doors, windows and all that go along in the inspiration of my creative spirit.

The I found this collection of hand stitched works of art, sitting waiting to be framed in a thrift shop of all places. Someone had spent hours carefully building these charmers stitch by stitch. That to me is a true love of houses, windows and doors. Having attempted at one time this craft, I had full appreciation for the hours spent on putting these together.

If I have learned anything during the last few weeks, it is that what we see on the outside is not necessarily what is going on “inside” Our bodies house our “souls” the vibrant and vital energy this is our “lives”. The windows and doors, are the way we look out, and how we maneuver the in and outs of our journey through this life. In some ways they reflect our personalities .. many times, they are merely shelters. It is what goes on, inside the house, that makes it a home.

PL (Perfect Liberty) celebrates every 21st of the month, with a Thanksgiving ceremony. The service is dedicated to giving our appreciation and gratitude for the blessings we have received through the month. Think today as you read this, just how many blessings you have received in the last few days. There are always positives, we need only be receptive to them.

At first I was sad that the beautiful work someone had done was now in a Thrift Shop, then I realized that it was the joy in stitching that was the person’s pleasure, and now, I was happy in the discovery. Sharing his/her work with you, is also a “happy”… May the many little windows and doors open for you today.

Find the sunshine, find the happy, in your day. You will be blessed in many ways.
