Bom dia dear friends… short note… having trouble with this blog site.. there may be delays or…
We are now entering the month of November.. the magical month of October ended..
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.

See the little tree growing from the crack in the wall face. This is how determined I am in life to be happy … it is not always easy… but with faith and determination… there is always a way.
PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror
Sending loving energy your way… have a grand day!

Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated
Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serves to make things even more complicated always be true to yourself.

winter 2021
just a reminder… of what lies ahead. Right now skies are blue, clear and not a cloud in sight. Will you get out to explore and delight in an adventure or two?
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.
No one else can live your life for you. It is yours and yours alone. Choices you make will follow you a lifetime.

What was, is now gone…you can see the new building in the background, the area has all been modernized
Nothing stays the same. Cherish the moments you get to enjoy, the next time you visit… the landscape will have changed.
The same happens with friendships – we grow, our friend’s lives change, they adjust… we are constantly evolving.. it’s life.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Did you know needle felting is done with sheep’s wool, after the sheep is sheared, the wool is processed into roving… I spent years chasing after the product before it became easily accessible, when felting became a skill that was more popular. On the left is one of the dancers I made when I was with the Canadian leg of an American one of a kind Art Doll group.
I was reflecting not long ago on how now when I drive country roads, I no longer see farm animals grazing peacefully in the fields. I even thought back to a very distant memory when the first home my parents bought had a coal bin, in the basement.
Memories are something that creep into our lives when we least expect them to, and when our thought process is not always ready to accept or understand why.. they are surfacing.
In PL we have a precept that you see me use often.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
My life has been long, busy, and very full. I reflect at times, at how my life experiences have brought me to where I am today.
Have you seen one of my post … on FB .. where I use a sign that reads…
In my younger years, we made things out off whatever we could find to create what we were trying to express … or for instance make something we needed or wanted, because unlike today, we couldn’t just go to a shop and purchase something.
With all this technology today (and believe me, let something happen to my keyboard or mouse!! you want to see panic!!) are we inundated with too much…???
We are all so accepting of credit cards, cell phones that are carried everywhere, … let me ask…. do you ever want a quieter easier less frantic lifestyle.. do you know what it is to have a peaceful lazy day where you don’t experience quilt if you set aside time just for YOU.??
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter
Yesterday I had a moment of sitting in a tree, on an upper branch that held two of us… the moment was breath taking. The visual of that moment was for me…. simply awesome..
I think having awesome moments in this day and age… is utterly fantastic.
Here is wishing you such moments… everyone deserves them!!!

Have a happy day everyone
In the church’s March newsletter, there was a paragraph, that I think bears repeating.
“Money and material things are materials for our self expression What matters is how effectively we use them, how we use them for the sake of life and for others, and whether our way of using them brings joy not only to ourselves but also the people around us.”
Smiles sweetly at you… Ok rant is over for now.. this is Saturday morning, and we are having a long week-end.
OH, there is the beeping of a truck backing up… someone is moving.. in or out I don’t know.. hopefully the rain will hold off for them. time for me to move along Have a grand day !!!! I am working on mine.

By the way if you follow me on FB… I have started to put a mini post in the visual posts that last only 24 hours. I am enjoying the creativity of using the “characters/personalities” i develop in SL using avatars. and Eastern philosophy.
