To do or not to do there is only one way.
Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions.

Au revoir, a bientot….. till soon

At times we all pretend
Letting dreams and memories
run wild in our imaginations
Then happens the day
When “pretend” becomes reality
So real you know what it is
to be alive
Reality is escape
From the bondage of freedom
Q
Good relationships begin by greeting each other.
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

When we experience loss – we learn to survive
the sun keeps shining, night follows day
We wake one morning and realize, we’ve outgrown who we used to be.
We choose silence from noise – somewhere in between nothing makes sense – but we are learning
We are no longer who we were – our season is changing
In the solitude of our silence – something new is born.
Love from a place of depth
Life unfolds in its own rhythm
Letting go, means we care enough, trust and have faith in being true to Self. There is great strength in Quiet.

Put your heart into your words.
Do you tend too speak in just a matter-of-fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

When one is in the middle of a move, not much thought is given to meals… I just grab what is easy, and chomp it down. Not good when you are diabetic. Not good at any time really. Last night I had a reminder that neglecting one’s intake of water, & eating properly at decent intervals is not good! But then, Like magic …I heard an echo… a voice of calm that centered me… lulling the restless mind into a calm zone.. I fell asleep and actually slept till almost 3. There is so much to think about and do, I did manage to get back to sleep and wake up feeling rested.
Face challenging situations with positive determination
When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively find solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

In life there are always choices… it helps to focus on what is happening in that moment, what you are thinking an how you feel, before making decisions that will impact you going forward.
Cheers everyone,. till soon.

I want to thank Eliza for sending me this link… I sure needed it this morning… moving is so hard in many ways I know it is a new beginning… but …. It is a challenge…
I will get through this… I have wonderful friends who have been so thoughtful and helpful. I am blessed to have them in my life. There is an expression, “WE PICK OUR FRIENDS, etc.”
Take care of things as they come to your attention.
When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.
Have a wonderful day everyone…

In looking through pictures I came across a memory from the early days in Second Life. A trip down memory lane is fun … Back then, the virtual world was new to me, I discovered that even the government was taking a look at this new world/technology.
Check out the old avatars… it was so much fun, the creativity was fascinating to me, remember when we built clothes with building tools… mesh had not arrived. It was a different world. The sign when I see it today, wow… it (SL) did offer a ton of opportunity, and those who stayed and grew with the “internet/pixel” technology… have a lot of good memories. Not to mention experiences of a lifetime.
Your feelings of appreciation become real when you express them.
Express your feelings of appreciation by actually saying “Thank You” out loud or by doing something to show how you feel. Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too, leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.21)

Sometimes when the world just gets too busy – when there is no spaces in the day/night we find ourselves in “overdrive”. It is hard to think clearly when we are bombarded almost 24/7 with chores/tasks/responsibilities. The “Universe” takes over. We get sick, we fall, we have unexpected situations, we have no choice, we have to take a time out. 
When was the last time, now think before you answer…. you gave yourself permission to enjoy quality time for YOU.
No, you don’t have to have that cell phone with you 24/7. No, you don’t have to reply or do something “right away” because that is always what was done. When life gets so busy, you feel overwhelmed… it is OK.. to stop, step back.. and take time for YOU. YOU matter, YOU are important, YOU count. Yes the dishes have to be done, but they can wait, they will not disappear, believe me I know.. No one sneaks into your home to do them for you.
Its cold out, its raining… the mosquitos are bad… blah blah blah. yesterday, I toured a new nursery (to me) a huge indoor greenhouse, tons of happy vegetation, lush green leaves, interesting cacti, in the outdoors area, I got to enjoy Japanese maples, Honey locust trees, evergreens in all shapes and sizes. The herb section was a paradise of delightful scented air. When there is a will there is a way.
Today it is a long sleeve sweater day. We had steamy hot … take it all off .. weather not long ago… This is what life is all about. From one day to the next, it is a new beginning.
In PL, #1 Precept is. Life is Art…. # 2 To live is to express One’s Self. # 7 Everything exists in relativity. # 16 All things progress and develop. # 18 EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT
It all begins with your determination.
Things begin to happen the moment you decide “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude.
Please make time for YOU.
