Once upon a time…. and the princess married the prince and they lived happily ever after… Remember those stories where everything had a happy ending. What was your favourite storyline? Have you heard any of the fiction Ai is generating today…. Elder abuse, fraud, mistresses, dysfunctional families, bullying, Corporate culture that is built on artificial/aggressive competitive greed.

Pick a card, any card… what are your chances. Who do you believe, what is real, and who is really your friend?

On my outing yesterday, I smiled, greeted people in my close proximity, responded cheerfully if I was addressed, nodded if someone looked my way… said “excuse me,” and “”sorry “… if I needed to get by, or move past someone in an aisle.

It was a busy day, but… the brief, short interactions were interesting, and on the most part, people were surprised, but smiled back, Have you tried going out with the intention of connecting in a positive way, with people you meet along the way? Do you speak to strangers?

Everything that happens to you is material for growth.

Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best.” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

PL2015.4

Mid week everyone… have a great day!

You can run, you can hide, but you can never escape the nattering of your mind. Ignoring it won’t make it go a way. ……………………………………………………… deal with it …………………..it is your only hope!

Find a place you are comfortable with, where you can be alone with your thoughts, and just let them come .. accept that the thoughts will drift in and out.. and let them.. pay attention to where the tension is in your body and … try to just RELAX… if you are not used to it.. you will have to take a deep breath, hold it.. then let it go… do it a few times… it works.

You are worth giving your SELF 5 – 10 minutes of TIME OUT…. from outside pressures and noise.

Some days, when you least expect it… you find a prize. Yesterday, I left home determined I would get to church for the 10 a.m. ceremony. On the first in PL we always have a special service .. dedicated to World Peace. Its a time were we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourSelves to living in a way that we hope will promote and bring a peaceful existence in our own personal world which includes our homes, work, school etc. And after being homebound for days, (in and out of bed) with the winter cold/flu that has plagued me these past few months…. I just wanted to share time with “like minds” and pray in community.

I didn’t make it. Half way there my body said. Go Home. I turned the car around and drove back home. As I got out of my car (you know a year ago I sold my home and moved into an adult living apartment.) My parking spot is near the elevators and the recycle/waste receptacles. There is limited outdoor parking .. it is a secure building, parking is underground heated air climate controlled parking. As I got out I realized I should empty my little garbage container of the “waste” I’d accumulated… I gathered my kleenex tissues and no longer wanted gas receipts etc. and walked over to the bins. As I turned to go back to my car I saw tucked in the corner where the recycle battery container used to be… a tall bamboo .. leaning forlornly against the wall, decorative container and all. It was tall, much taller than my 5′ 3″….so awkward to handle, but…… I didn’t hesitate… it came home with me. It was a struggle I got it into the elevator and up to my apartment… found a place for it… and…. there she stands

I know its not real, I don’t have to feed it, water it, I will have to dust the leaves from time to time.. but she is mine. I’ve seen them in high end home furnishing stores more as decorative accent pieces to showcase the furniture in the stores… and it is likely meant for bigger palatial spaces, condos or homes, but I don’t care.. it makes me smile and i will enjoy her for awhile… even Quin and Quincey have welcomed her. thank goodness for my 11ft. ceilings.

Always life with hope in your heart

With a clear image in mind, move forward with enthusiasm. Your dreams will surely come true with perseverance,

PL2015.2

Have a good day everyone!

note, This building has 24 hour security cameras everywhere, and mtce is done daily, bins emptied every morning, garage floor cleaned and maintained daily, It was Sunday, I was lucky it (bamboo) was still there!

oops

March 1, 2026

Life has a way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect it. Suddenly we are in free fall when a moment before, we thought we had it all under control.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive

Have you ever had that moment … when you realize…. something just happened, and you just know.. it is going to make a difference in your life…. you just have to figure out, how and why?

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

Stop.. close your eyes and just pause… take that moment just to reflect and treat yourself to a big sigh… You made it to this moment… it’s a new beginning.. (if you are old enough, you remember this saying)

“Smile you are on candid camera !!!! “

Bom dia!

February 28, 2026

I have saved this picture for years and years. I fell in love with this face the first time it showed up in my life. I searched out the kind of fleece, how it would felt, In those days I was sculpturing dolls/figures and wanted the fleece/roving to do hair. (Needle felting) To this day when I find the picture it makes me smile.

Please share a smile today…

don’t go

February 27, 2026

Please stay, don’t go!…. sometimes, no matter how much we want something to play out one way, destiny or fate steps in… and… we have to accept… that it is time to move on.

Let’s interact proactively with an ever-changing society.

Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn to deal with them proactively.

Exit

February 26, 2026

When a fire alarm starts going off in your building before 7 a.m. and just keeps ringing that warning sound, ahh what do you do… Thank goodness I’m on the ground floor and I have an exit right on to my patio which is just outside of the courtyard where where the fire trucks are rolling in. Yes this is the day after a snow storm that has left about 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground over whatever was there before the latest snow fall.

Today I’m showing some of the door ways that I would choose to enter… to escape the noise and the confusion that happens when an alarm goes off in a Highrise complex.. (adult living) My door that I got open with some difficulty since its middle of winter and I have not opened it since the fall, was my patio door. Grabbing my boots and trudging out beyond my hedge to the fire trucks… Firemen were coming back from doing a walk around the building looking for ???

I still don’t know what happened, but I was assured, I would be fine, and not to worry … no action was required on my part. The cats who were taking it in stride, but like myself were not happy with the shrill ongoing noise. Took another 15 minutes or so before the alarm was silenced. I can assure you, it is a rude way to start one’s day.

If you have an interest in doors, today being Thursday, the link to the Thursday Door link on Dan’s No Facilities site, will be posted at the end of this blog.

Today’s message

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through,

PL2014.26

Since I was already outside, when I went out to find out what was going on, I grabbed my shovel and cleared my patio area. Not such a smart move with me just at the tail end of a serious chest and sinus infection.

This is the link to Dan’s No Facilites site. https://nofacilities.com/2026/02/26/more-snow-doors/

Have a good day everyone.

Sunbathing is an activity that Quin likes to take in when the sun comes streaming through the window. It also allows her to monitor her patient (me) who is still lingering under the covers with a miserable cold. Her brother is more hands on, he likes to be right by my head, I guess its to make sure I’m still breathing. I’m too tired to even be grumpy about it.

Express yourself freely within the rules

We are able to experience the joy of being creative because we have the framework of laws, morals and rules to follow.

Live freely and vivaciously within these rules.

Keeping warm on a cold winter day! – go away!

Now is always the start of something new.

Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do “now”. Using the present as a starting point move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Me, myself and I…. that is who I am responsible for and to. I am so tired of hearing from people that what has happened to them, is always someone else’s fault. if he, if she hadn’t done, this, that etc. what has happened to being responsible for one’s own actions. Alright, the world isn’t always fair, but it is how we react or respond to a situation that is important. If you feel someone has done you a disservice.. you can be thankful that you found out or recognized what is or was being done. You look at the perceived negativity towards you,, and move on, it has already been done,… you can’t go back and erase what happened but you can learn from it.. and move on. Your life is just so much more important …

I started this yesterday but I was sidetracked by a body that won’t let go of a virus.. I listened, and went back to bed and stayed there, Does anyone else out there use weighted blankets?

How has the week begun for you? I hope it has been a sterling start to a brand new week.
