Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.

I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.

He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!

Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

Pl Precept# 7 Everything exists in relativity

In order to make progress in the physical world, three things are necessary — a thought, a feeling and an action (direct activity)

I had been trying to find a picture of the fireworks in Japan that used to take place August 1 at PL headquarters – instead I found this picture .. which is a riot of colour and shows “nature” in one pf her finest moods. The fireworks were to show the awesome delight of watching the amazing artistry of fire in the skies. Why… why was I wanting to showcase electric, dynamic and soul satisfying visuals.. because I wanted to show you how JOY can look, feeling it is hard to capture in words.. because everyone has a different way of using words.. but we all catch our breath when we see fireworks against the midnight black of the skies. or a bouquet of nature’s finest beauties artistically displayed against a clear blue sky.

I am very blessed that I have happiness and love in my life. It is our decision whether to focus on what makes us unhappy or to live in a state of happiness. I choose “HAPPY”… this = contentment….

“Accept everything with appreciation. Appreciate not just people and society, but everything that comes your way. You will experience a deeper joy in life.” (PL 2012.21)

Even the animals are feeling the heat. It has been brutal, the storm last night did little to clear the air, the heat warnings are still in effect.

“As a living person, you interact with the people and things around in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express yourself each and every day. Through your daily artistic expressions, you can create your one and only life.

If you ae ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly, going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions, you will not be able to lead a full life.

Your life is your very own unique work of art.” (PL Life is Art. members guide)

In my wandering yesterday, I came across a book at charity. I don’t need anymore books, but you know how it is.. your eye falls on something, and after you pick it up to look at it, it somehow stays in your hand.

The life 101 series – You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought. by John-Robert and Peter McWilliams

“Tis the good reader that makes the book; in every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ears; The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. Emerson

Value your intuition. (PL2014.19)

Breathe life into things and money.

The value of things and money is revealed when they are utilized as material to express yourself. Express your full Makoto (sincere effort) when using them (2014.20)

Loved this creative way of showcasing what was.. Touring along a dusty country road, where there was a lot lush vegetation, It was a refreshing sight to find an old barn that was being used as a backdrop for old pieces of rusting metal farm equipment and an old bike.

There is an implement on the bottom row that reminds me of the ice “tongs” used to grab big chunks of ice stored in “ice” barns.. in the days before refrigerators. Does seeing these old pieces remind you of another place and time? I see there is a bigger one upper left. I love rusted metals, can anyone shed light on some of the history showcased here?
