dreaming

Snow has been falling for hours. Temperatures have dropped significantly. The milder weather of last week, with thawing and rain means that now… walking will be dangerous for all who walk without care. Why? because, the snow is so white, inviting, the wind has died down enough that there is no blowing snow to blind you when it whips around your face. the lovely light fluffy snow is hiding black ice in places where previously there had been a puddle or any irregular dips, cracks in the sidewalks.

I’m dreaming of strolling through landscapes of gentle meandering walkways through manicured gardens with interesting buildings to enjoy. If you saw the virtual blog with the Taoist build, you might enjoy exploring this site.. After seeing yesterday’s blog a friend sent me the link to this beautiful location. Here is the link. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cozy%20Cove/188/98/24 Note this is an adult sim. It is called Koromo a Tsukete Ageta, Cosy Cove.

The link to the Peng Lai blog is on the virtual site. https://virtualnws8.ca/2026/01/17/peng-lai/

Dance like no one is watching

When you think “I’ve got it” Think again!

It is easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

Sunday

Hi everyone. I see I missed yesterday. What an upside down day it was. You have all been aware that I have had this nasty flu virus for the last month plus.. Some days barely able to even try to be social, never mind thinking of getting up and going out. The last week so much improvement, I even (as shown above) went into SL (Second Life) to do some photography using the two dogs I found for posing with. The internet world of Second life ( Second Life is a persistent, 3D virtual world where users, represented by customizable avatars, can socialize, create content, explore diverse virtual environments, and even conduct real-world economic activities, functioning as a vast online platform for entertainment, education, and community beyond a typical game. Launched by Linden Lab in 2003, it allows people to build virtual lives, own property, attend events like concerts, and interact through text or voice chat, offering extensive freedom for self-expression and digital ownership. ) is a wonderful “adult sitter” when we are confined at home dealing with a stubborn virus.

When you re not having fun, could it be because you rare being lazy?

Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body, or work your mind to the fullest extent.

PL2019.10

I went to church today, it was “Day of Appreciation” unfortunately I had to leave early, my body/mind said enough enough, I was getting overtired, it wasn’t even 10:30 a.m. yet. I excused myself and silently slipped away… came home and climbed back in to bed. I felt it was important to say “thank you” to the Universe, because…. even though I’m not 100% yet, I feel so much better.

How are you all doing? How is the year spinning for you so far? Do your best to stay healthy, stay home if you start feeling a cold/flu coming on, stay away from friends/family if they are sick.

Sending positive and healing energy to you …

My sentiments. I have had this lingering cold/flu now for almost 6 weeks, maybe even more.. Who knows anymore, and who cares… I guess I do. However on the bright side… I have had a lot of REST if not always fitful. Come to think of it… In looking back, I don’t think I’ve had a real bout of “sickness” in recent years, So I guess I should consider this a positive. My body must have been or has been in need of R E S T … In my “awake” times, I have noticed that the cats are aware of my comings and goings.

For instance, I discovered that YouTube has these cat/dog videos.. Before leaving for my morning ritual of nature walks (a way of saying, I go into the woodland I favour to spend time with the birds) I started to put on the telly for them (since moving into an apartment)(reasoning that when I had the house they had 3 floors to run around in and explore)… I started out just putting on Asian music, soothing … calming… (I enjoyed it right) but one day I saw that there was a video for cats.. with birds and animals, nature sounds, running water, feeders…. well … instantly I had two very interested felines perched on the end of the massage table.. totally fascinated. So I now have two cats who when they see me getting ready to go out, wait for me to open the magic window. Amazing.. my cats have discovered technology.

Today’s message..

Your smile energized the people around you.

A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you.

Ps. for those of you who knew /know that I have been after the free Genus head being offered in SL (Second Life) Today was my lucky day, I succeeded in getting the female head at 5 a.m. my time… (2 a.m. SL time).. they had such a tremendous response, their vendor went down, I did get the male head the first day I knew about the offer and went in to try my luck. I will do a write up on the head later in/on my Virtual Blog. Meanwhile if you want to see the male, I have posted his picture on my Flickr page. (grid status .. there were over 30,000 people online at the time.) (offer was limited for only so many days)

Cheers, till soon.

help please

I am revamping one of my characters for a short story I’m doing.. When doing her face. I used a skin from a designer I don’t often use… I was getting ready to make changes when it struck me that the face looked very familiar to me. I know I’ve seen it many times but I can’t place the series she was on. So I left her face the way it was… and I’m building her character around the persona I’m getting from her. If by chance her appearance rings a bell .. could you let me know.. please. and thank you.

Now for today’s quote.

It is not fun to be stuck in one place

Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons

PL2022.28

Cheers everyone, have a great Sunday.

the character was middle aged , she was not the lead, but had a supporting role and was seen regularly. She was angular and thin just like the avatar you see above

ahhchooo

It is no joke. The nasty germs are running wild. Time to stay in…. steam the room… drink lots of fluids, and stay warm, Thought I was doing so much better… Mother Nature, had different ideas… She has made it clear I’m not out of the woods. I have to stay quiet, and stay warm. I did forgo a much anticipated evening out Xmas eve.. BUT it wasn’t enough.. seems I have to lie low for a little longer. How are you doing? You managed to stay healthy ???

Make today a memorable day

Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature

Today is just another moment in time.. Tomorrow is another day.

decorations

I kid you not… these decorated wonders are all under one roof. AND I did not post all the pictures. Their displays take my breath away. This is in a home with dogs… many dogs…. yet, except for the odd ornament that a whippet/borzi wants to rearrange…. their decor stays pretty much as is till after the new year. This is a house of Joy and Wonder. thank you Steve and Paul for the tour of your beautiful displays.

Be Cheerful and Friendly with those around you.

Other people can sense how you are feeling ... so.. be cheerful…

life

In life we all have choices to make. There isn’t a day/night goes by where we are not faced with having to make a choice. Like the many colours in our lives, the palette before us enables to paint/draw/imagine whatever picture, we want, the choice is ours. Maybe not always what happens, but the decision on how to accept or use the hand dealt is ours to make

In PL…

Precept # 2 To live is to express One’s Self.

Get things started with grit

If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

PL2023.29

Have a great day everyone….

earth treasures

I thought I was going to get to the show early .. I got there shortly after 10… and met people leaving with boxes of goodies .. a few were taking “stuff” to the car and would be going back for more. Already the crew were restocking… In the spring when they had their show, they restocked several times over the week-end. This show was mostly for vendors… restocking for whatever shows they would be doing over the holidays. I was glad I got there during a bit of a lull… Still I had to make my way around customers who pulled carts along beside them filled with their “finds” There was a really good assortment of fossils…

Being around all those wonderful earth treasures … was a “high” in itself.. What I brought back i will let sit for awhile so that the energy collected by them at the sale will dissipate…. I will let the sunlight and moonlight filter over them for weeks… before putting them away.

Have a “Let’s do it” attitude.

Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind we are presented with opportunities all the time, and that we can handle anything we set our minds to. When one door closes another opens.
