PL calendar lesson 21 – accept everything with appreciation
“Chop Suey” is a catch-all, means a little of everything. today was a chop suey day. I started this post with a couple of videos that had me watching them with great attention, although I can’t even tell you why. They appeared on my screen and, hey… I watched. since I never follow a recipe, I’m not sure, why I was so mesmerized.. however, you gotta know..I’ll be eating shrimp in the near future.
Wow a tree with branches. this was another of my “oh ” moments… the clear sky through the branches had me aiming up into the sky, there was a bird singing, and I was captivated by the song. You will note there is no bird in the tree.
Here is another of my “OH” moments, I saw the shadows and had to capture them, I parked and walked towards them, like I was being called by a voice I couldn’t ignore. They really caught my attention, the sun was over head in such a way, that the shadows reached out towards me.
So absorbed was I, that I had no idea that I had my friends waiting for me in the church wondering where I had gone, and what was I doing. So much so, that sweet Yumi (new to Canada from Japan, by way of Argentina) had come out in what had to be COLD for her, in only a sweater thrown over her shoulders. Her main language being Japanese, she smiled politely when I explained that I was enthralled by the shadows. she is so precious, I just love her. In a short time, she and her family have become such dear friends. Temperature was just around freezing today.
What is it that captivates, and captures our thoughts and imaginations, why is it that what is ordinary to some is so magical to someone else. Today I was for sure, in a zone … tha was mine alone. Yes I interacted and enjoyed conversations with friends and acquaintances I met along the way. But part of me was wanting to gather tools for my visual expressions. At the second to last place I stopped at, before heading for the grocery store and the supper ingredients, I walked around a corner and came to face with this picture.
Oyyyy hello…. I didn’t want to bring it home, but I did want to include it in my day. This one was unframed, Next to it, in a beautiful hardwood frame with a gallery light on it, was this picture, side by side they were. Perfect.
So different, yet part of the one. I had a good day, it was what I call a chop suey day. How was yours? I hope you had a productive and happy day. I am off to stir fry some shrimps… =^_^= did you guess already…

I will stir fry them in garlic and black bean sauce..
shell them and eat them like popcorn at my leisure.
Tome todo con sentimiento de gratitud
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.

Good morning dear friends, I found a quote today, that I am going to post the way I found it, and then make a few changes to it. Smiles I hope you enjoy it.
Can’t do it, I’ll have to retype it for you……. Yay it worked. See persevere and you will get results! Ah life is good!!!
So here goes, for me this says..
It has little to do with the position I have in life
or the title that is given me (status)
whether or not I have fame or fortune
but everything to do with
the Dream in my heart
and my sincerity and desire with in me
to give everything I have
to being the best person I can in this life.

PL Principle 1 I will live paying careful attention,putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.
PL Precept # 2 To live is to Express One’s Self
Sometimes we need to drift into another dimension. We need to allow our thoughts to wander and meander in ways that will expand and re-energize. this is Forest Elf Music – Elf Village posted on YouTube by Brandon Fiechter July 2013
Music, the visuals, they were just what I needed after several days out in a row with all the Season’s hype. I’ve also covered several holiday Xmas events.. I was the there as the photographer and of course to gather information for one of my blog reviews.. There is only so much HO HO HO one can take. LOL I’m sure after a good night’s sleep I’ll be fine. Meanwhile, you get to enjoy this wonderful trip into the world of fantasy and fun.
Blessings be.

What have we here..
It seems it was called the King Tut of barn finds.
An auction house in France announced it would be presenting 60 rare vintage, exotic cars, found tucked away in western France.
I know how I felt watching this clip, did it tug at any of your emotions, did you have a sense of something m perhaps shades of sadness, Was it just the music,or the visual.
These amazing pieces of steel and craftmanship were once new, the were the accumulation of hours of work. The creators, the builders,designers,trades that had to pull together to build these machines of pleasure,
The cars, were admired, driven, used for commuting, and any and all other modes of transportation – finally they came to rest here in their final resting place.
Restored and found 50 years later.. If you are wanting more information, it is the automobile collection of Roger Baillon (he was a French transport business owner collection classic cars, to start a museum, but in the 70’s he business went down, and he had to sell 50 cars to pay the bills)
The cars or a real find, Many of a history, and the fact that this collection was lost and left to be embraced by nature, for car affectionados, it is causing a real stir. Imagine seeing Talbots, Delahayes and a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport in one location.
For me.. although not a hoarder, I like having my tools, and pieces that give me pleasure or a sense of being able at anytime to delve into a favourite pastime, or activity.
Seeing this clip stirred me into doing a tidy up. Big clean up. I realized that I had far too much in the way of material things/objects… in clearing away the clutter.. and things that have long lost their moment with me… I am making way for new beginnings and freeing space for improving the quality of what is happening in my life now.
note.. the Ferrari 250 sold for 14.2 million on Feb. 6,2015 at auction.
to see all the cars.. visit choic
Life is to be lived in the present….. not the past…
but in appreciating what was, we can make better choices in the present
I love and appreciate each and everyone of you.

Good Morning everyone.
Today I’d like to discuss PL. Principle 2 ” I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.”
This is a lesson that I reappears in my life over and over again. I don’t see myself as a complainer, however, there are times when I feel that my feelings or work is not appreciated. It is true, that I do things because I want to. I also love what I do. why then do I seem to want some kind of feedback, or acknowledgement of my creativity. Please dear reader, understand these are musings. In Principle 2, as you read above, I am to work at not having complaints about others, yet, there are times when I definitely feel that someone or others are simply not responding to a request I’ve made or given feedback on a subject that pertains to something we share or are both involved in. I ask myself, is it complaining to speak up, put my thoughts and feelings on the table? Or, is it being honest and open about something that bothers me?
PL Principle 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
PL Principle 17, I will not say or do things that hurt others.
PL Principle 14, I will not have a mind to be lazy, I will not have complaints while working, nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
Some days, when not sure just where to “land”…. when you feel that your head is in one place and your thoughts in another… I do what makes me feel better, I meditate and pray. I remember that PL Precept 18 reminds me that “Each Moment is a turning Point”
Be with God
Today, and everyday
