you are being careless or overconfident ..
Even though you may have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made mistakes. that is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.
Good morning dear friends,
Our surroundings play such an important part in our lives, yet, too often we put off what needs attention, or doing, till ????
I admit to having done just that thee past months, and now.. guess what.. aaaghghgh I have to clean up. It would have been so much simpler had I done it as the days went along, but no…. aghhhhhh hands to the heavens…. “will I ever get this right”
Have a grand day my lovelies, rain or shine, we are ONE. You and me… travelers on this road of life. You make it much more interesting. You do!
Life is to be lived, life is to be shared. Never fear saying, you care. Your smile is worth barrels of sunshine that will last for miles.

Discarded by ? found… now home to enjoy the seasons once more in the natural elements it was born in.

Windows, so important in our daily lives. Often neglected, still, they reflect and offer up a wonderful array of visual delights. I hoped the light wouldn’t change before I captured the beautiful yellow flowers. I was granted my wish.

I know I am not alone in my joy in the simplicity of simply enjoying the creativity in the world that surrounds me.
What have you seen out of your window recently that had a WOW factor.
Hope your week-end is full of discoveries, you are in my thoughts, always and forever.

PL Calendar day 14 – Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.

oh hello, almost missed you
I felt your stillness
it drew me back to you
sometimes in life,
this is something we need to do too
yet for reasons, beyond comprehension
we keep racing ahead
then wonder how in the world
we find ourselves in over our heads
thank you.. for reminding me
to stop and simply BE

Welcome to PL where your environment and the things that happen in front of you are all materials for your self expression and learning =^_^=

Good afternoon everyone…
Bright and early I too myself off to the cemetery to cut back the evergreens that I planted there some 30 years ago. I had intended to take a before picture, but by the time I arrived at the cemetery the heat of the day was already beginning to show itself. Shy flower that I am… I went over, pulled the weeds, and gathered up the dead leaves for the mulch bag with a determined dedication of purpose.
How is your day so far? The hot weather is to continue on here for the rest of the week. Good time to stay indoors and work on projects in my studio.
I have had many ideas these past weeks, but not had the chance to get started. Today is the day.
How to live an Artistic life...
The PL Principles(21)are the practical guidelines for our daily lives. As PL members they assist us in practicing the PL Precepts (21) The 21 Principles are specific guidelines on how to live the PL Way (an artistic life) and teach us how to reach a positive state of mind, so that we can express ourselves more harmoniously and joyfully
Principle #14 I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working, nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
Reminder, Ancestors day, July 11th. service will be at 10 a.m.

days like today, when the heat blankets the body and all else around you. Moving take concentrated effort. Blah. Only on such days, do I wish for a small section of water to sit submerged in a shallow area where there is a bit of a shade. and the water is lapping gently all around me, cooling and refreshing.

of course #1 choice, is to stay inside, where I have air climate control. No need to think about getting out of the water, getting dry, and finding my way back to the car. This too shall pass.
Happy week-end everyone. I trust wherever you are in, you are enjoying a wonderful memory making day.

Door lovers, I cannot tell you the joy I felt when I looked into a jewelry case, and saw this brooch. Pewter.
I drove food up to the food bank some 30, 40 miles from home. I always wander around a bit and try to find something that catches my eye in their “boutique” or “home decor etc”…. this time… I felt truly rewarded. A pewter door, brooch. YaHOOOOO
PL Calendar day 4

PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop. Todo progresa y evoluciona

When we are young and begin our journey, art is a creative outlet. A way of expression. Young eyes, will replicate with whatever medium they have on hand and will delight us with their drawings and insights.
As we travel the road of life, our thoughts and views take on different forms of expression. This drawing was done by my 6 year old niece, seeing it, I was filled with memories of the days where I lay with my pencils, crayons and rescued papers, designing what I knew would be the gowns and dresses of the “fashion” world.
What happens to our dreams, do they actually go away, or do they blossom into an assortment of different colour and shapes. I still think of drawing and using fashion when I sit to “express” my thoughts, the key word being -think- that disappears the minute I see a blank page/canvass. My innocence has had years of living to change its perceptions.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art, friends, go with the flow, the only constant in life is change. Life your life to the fullest, appreciate and be grateful for all the comes your way. Growing pain and all. You “art” will shine and continue to be uniquely yours.
