Today in PL is a special day, on the 21st of each month we spend time in prayer, there is a service at 10:a.m. and 7 p.m. It is a time of reflection and deep appreciation.
May your home be filled with laughter, warmth and the glow of friendship and family.
Like the seasons, the world is constantly changing. Say thank you all the time. Digo obrigado o tempo inteiro. Merci (thank you) it is an easy word, mean it! you will see/notice that life will become a happier experience.
When was the last time you sat around doing “nothing” and didn’t feel guilty ..
There was a time when going for a drive, or to the cottage, meant getting away from the everyday “grind”… Often the cottage didn’t even have a phone… never mind a television. time was spent swimming, fishing, hiking, riding a bike through country lanes … reading under the shade of a big tree…. I remember taking the row boat out.. (no engine, you rowed) sitting in the middle of the lake and just letting it drift once I was away from shore…
I am told these days are long gone and impossible to find unless one goes far far out ..away from cities/towns. (I am also told that some lakes have banned motor boats (speed boats) … but.. I don’t know that for fact)
I left home without my cell phone the other day. Wow… I realized it was noticeable. Especially when I wasn’t driving.. stopped somewhere for any length of time… I found myself checking my pocket to see if there was something I had to respond to… and then adjusting my “habit” when I realized my cell phone was at home.. and I was “on my own”…. liberating or what!
Find a quiet place and simply – enjoy the moment –
A gentle rain has been falling all night. It will wash the summer dust away, paving the earth with the start of a gentle decay that will kick start new beginnings…
Good morning… you all know by now that I use avatars to help me in my photography for my blogs. At this time of year the designers are putting out their skins for “Halloween” There are thousands of us who love this time of the year…. our creativity knows no bounds.
When working with “Bee” here, before I got her dressed in hair and clothes… I thought how beautiful the designer had made her face. She stood out, she wasn’t an old hag, a witch with a warped nose, her makeup wasn’t gothic Gor… I found she had a certainly quality to her.. and.. she was proud of who she was. To match her facial skin, I had to search out a designer who worked in the colour tones that would compliment her face.
I found a designer who made skin that gave her body the appearance of being a “barbie” doll. Bingo. a match!
You know ladies how we are constantly being bombarded with ads on how to make ourselves look younger, skinner, etc. Working with this model.. was inspiring..
It is not about what we look like, its about, the person we are . who we are.. how we treat others and live in the world around us. “a broken crayon still colours”
