fyi ..Rockhound Gemboree was a total delight. I attended a lecture on the oldest dinosaur found in Alberta… saw some amazing displays and came home with a few treasures!
Be kind to one another! smile and share PL Sunshine and Joy.
because we can’t see the ground under the ice, does that mean it isn’t there
with the ivory cover being missing, will the piano still play
will the sun ever shine again..
How authentic are we….
Life is what it is… I learned a long time ago…. even side by side looking out at the same view, no two people will ever have the same experience or see the same thing. But I learned in my lifetime, that in being true to myself, my journey is blessed… how about you?
In the silence – garden spirits (nature)keep watch…
Just because you close your eyes, the day does not disappear,,, as much as you want to believe that night won’t follow day…. or day turn to night – life is what it IS no more… no less.

Last night the TBX (Trow Boa Experience) played a debut performance of a full set of originals (Cuban vibe) from the extensive list of original music by musician and performer, Trow Boa. The Trow Boa personna emerged some 18 plus year ago in the online game, Second Life. The man himself Trow Boa is a long time musician in every day life, who has had 35 + years in the world of music. He plays professionally in and around his home State, and has appeared Nationally and Internationally .. not to mention the many students he has taught who have gone on to excel in their own right in the music industry.
The man has dedicated his passion for the saxophone into a way of expression that delights and pleases his audiences. He plays as regularly in SL as his time allows. It has been fun to watch his progress, and how he uses his love for the music he plays to expand his personal inventory of original music. He uses his gift to not only help others, but to entertain and share the music with audiences that appreciate not only live but original instrumentals. TBX is becoming an entity on its own. Audience come for the experience! And he, Trow Boa delivers!!
In today’s world of AI and computer generated this and that… there are so many ways to express one’s self.. however music is something that can transcend language and cultural differences. The fact that he started from the basics and has tirelessly continued to expand and hone his music skills speaks volumes for his dedication and love of his craft. He not only enjoys what he does his pleasure in sharing his music is catching, Audiences are drawn to the ambience he weaves with his unique style and presentation….

fyi. for those of you who have followed my journey with neuropathy, I have been trying magnesium cream.. applying it topically, It didn’t happen overnight, but I have noticed… I sleep a much sounder and a longer sleep, and AND I have less leg discomfort/cramping etc.
A different season. temperatures are somewhat cooler this morning, but who knows what we will experience by end of day. The humidity levels have been so draining.
The move has gone well, the house is now sold, belongs to someone else… Yay! I do miss my garden(s) especially the trees that are now giving fruit. but.. such is life.. now I am adjusting to living in an apartment and parking in an underground maze of cars…. metal sculptures on rubber wheels that wait for us to need them again.
There is one car down there that is kept like a polished jewel, one day I will meet the owner, it is a baby blue jeep. Not once have I seen it with a spec of dust on it, it just looks so “pretty”…. mine has already been christened, with cement scrapes and scratches.
“Oh! and guess what!” I finally found my storage container with the pasta etc. in it. Yay! Let’s see… and oh yes, yesterday I treated the hardwood floors to a Magnolia Home carpet. (by Joanna Gaines)(Loloi) It is a runner not a full carpet.. the cats love it. I enjoy the contrast of it against the hardwood floor. Slowly my new “home” is taking shape. You saw yesterday the mask I found.. lots of good positive energy there!!!
Eartha was here yesterday, she helped me with the magnesium creams/spray .. getting ready to work on the “ZEN” room. There is a teaser for you.. I’m really looking forward to enjoying the “ZEN” room. fyi. the magnesium cream does seem to give breathing room to the neuropathy visits. I have found the topical use of magnesium more effective (for me) then supplements. Which end up in my digestive system.. I want it where I need it.
Think of the timing before you say “but”
When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

LOL it does look slanted, but when I go and look at it … it looks fine, could have been the angle when I took it… anyway, the minerals are safe away from furry paws.
The Brats play cowboys or space cadets not sure, all I know is at some time in the wee hours they go into frisky mode and use the bed as a trampoline to dive over to the bureau where their cat tower is. Thankfully I’m in a dead sleep.. and barely wake now that I know what is happening, The first night or two.. it was a bit un-nerving
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something,
The joy your feel when you’ve put your all into something its yours alone, Nobody can take that away from you,

Some days…. you wonder if it is all happening… or if you have been transported to another place in time. Nothing seems familiar… nothing is the same… yet… you are pretty sure, you haven’t gone anywhere.
The heat and humidity has been fierce. Don’t dare look in a mirror. Find a shady place to hide away till night comes and it will be time soon enough for another day.
Good or bad, it is your mirror
Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

A busy person is someone who others can count on.
The fact that you are busy means that you are needed by others. In a way, its a sign of how much they trust and rely on you.

I live on an island where my front door opens to this view. I can spend hours watching the water swirl and listen to its song as it makes its way around the rocks. I can even watch the sky as it turns from dawn to dusk…. It is true I can’t get to it every day, but it never leaves my heart or my thoughts. We live alone on this island, there are neighbours on other islands, but we are fortunate in that, living in different time zones, we are seldom on our properties at the same time. This is the beauty of living in a virtual world (smile)
By now, you have if you are a regular to this blog, have read I am moving and have seen the story I shared with you the other day about the “Little House” https://youtu.be/F74CR1uqXFA?si=M4Fxvkml523xj3Al I have heard back from a few of you who took the time to watch the YouTube version of Virginia Lee Burton’s .The Little House. thank you,, I appreciate that you took the time to view it.. it tells the story of what I am living in a very poignant way.
For days now I have been going through photos, correspondence etc that accumulates when you have lived in one house for over 25 years. The faces of friends now long gone, or living in “space and time”. It had been tedious and long.. my hands ache at night from the constant pulling, and tearing of papers for recycling. But … in all the frustrations and challenges, I have found happy moments seeing the faces of people I once worked with, and shared special adventures with.
I am tossing a lot of “stuff” out.. a lot of what can be recycled will go to charities. Leaving 3 levels of living space, to go to a 1.5. apartment is certainly going to be a new adventure. The hardest is knowing that my gardens the green space I have surrounded myself with, will be no more. The animals that alive here …(Outside) will have to find another oasis. There is no doubt that my little house will be razzed to the ground, and with it the vegetation that has sheltered us for years will disappear.
You have all heard me say this before… life is to be lived and enjoyed, don’t squander your moments …. embrace life…. appreciate your friends…. and protect nature as best you can. Reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in awhile.. smile at a stranger… life is precious.
This was taken by my Dad who was an avid photographer, he took the pictures and developed them himself. And it was a time when we could enjoy country sides like this on a hike not far from our home. You guessed right if you thought, not so now…
View your Difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.
