Sunday

It was Q’s rez day yesterday (birthday)… I got the notice and realized that I had totally forgotten. I made time to go in to SL (Second Life) (virtual platform) to spend some time with her. Wow she first appeared in my life in 2007.. She was an adventure into a virtual world, there were a lot of lessons to learn. I had to learn to walk, sit, build, communicate with others. Basically exist in/on a virtual platform… I did it … over the years I have progressed and managed to move around and adjust to the many changes one faces in a virtual environment. Photography of course is one of my greatest loves and challenges. I have over 6000 photos on flickr documenting the many changes over the years. I am definitely someone who has learned to live conducting and using my creativity as an avatar to navigate part of my life. The big buzz these days is Ai … which has filtered into “today” world in/on all platforms.

Listening to my lessons, studies, I am getting to know just how much Ai is out there. My visits to the woodlands are more frequent with the changing of the weather, There is something very humbling about being a human standing alone in the middle of acres of land … where a young moose can wander past, or the a call of a patrolling wolf warning you of his/her presence…. joins the chatter of the critters coming to greet you … looking for the treats you’ve brought for them to enjoy. I am finding a balance… outdoors with nature, and indoors with a computerized world…. both take the need to be “present” as an important factor in balancing one’s waking hours.

You will notice that while Q was out, she saw a lot of Christmas decorations in shops she visited.. So yes, Xmas has arrived in her “personal” space. I noted looking out my window last night, that there was a fully decorated tree, with lovely lights on the balcony across the courtyard. Might be time I changed my fall bouquet (on my patio) to something more Xmasy…I won’t want to be out there trying to do something when the weather changes and we are in a full blown “winter” season.

Today’s calendar

Avoid being careless or overconfident

Even though you may have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made some mistakes, that is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.

Q isn’t one who smiles much (like me) but she is happy and content in her world…. (like me) =^_^= contentment is a beautiful state of BEING.

Decisions.. decisions.. sometimes it is hard to be an adult. My inner dragon is roaring … it wants to go to the rock/mineral show in Montreal….. Decisions… decisions… grumble… mumble

We are all wonderful in our own way….

Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious

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.

Nov.3.

Do you ever feel like you are speaking to the wind? Are you tired of explaining and trying to get someone/or others to understand something that is important to you, but…. nothing,…. you are left with the frustration of realizing that something that matters to you… is just that… YOUR “problem”

Then the questions becomes, is it really a problem.

Sometimes, there is nothing to do but sit back… take a deep breath…. and let your thoughts… settle into a quiet space… so you can contemplate and look at your “problem(s) in a way that allows you to perhaps see them in a different light.

Sometimes doing something you enjoy, something relaxing, somewhere without a lot of distractions.. will help you to think and see things in a different light.

Always express your true self with honesty and integrity.

We feel a deep sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.

PL2014.3

Life is not always a walk in the park, or moments filled with joy … but the moments that perplex and frustrate will pass… they always do.

Please know that I appreciate each and everyone of you… and keep you all in my prayers.

Have a great start to your week, whatever you are up to.

The start of another month, the cooler weather has begun to be a daily reminder that we will soon be beginning another “winter”.. you ready?

Have a grand week-end everyone!

Oyashikiri

Boo night

Pumpkins bump in the night – who will ring your doorbell tonight… have you prepared for the ghosts and goblins that will roam the streets tonight… moaning and groaning the vampires and zombies will stumble and grumble under the moonlight … while witches and elves will sneak up and thrill on your screams of fright.

In most towns and cities in the North American hemisphere there will be weird and wonderful hauntings happening … this will be a week-end of parties and fun,, Whatever you get up to, enjoy!

Don’t hesitate to show kindness to others.

Do you ever find yourself hesitating to show kindness to someone? It is when you put your thoughts into action that you can show other what is in your heart.

Thursday

We’ve all been there, we diligently work on a project, only to have someone come along, and ask us to revise portions of what has been done…. Star’s expression…. you what? you would like me to redo all of the first page. Is one that many today, with the ease of modern computers, can redo easily, at one time, when we worked with typewriters… this was not the case. If you missed knowing that era… look it up!

Always have presence of mind

If you overexert yourself you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

Pumpkins

Good Morning Everyone, yesterday had me visiting a pumpkin display at a farm stall in the east end of the city. Festive colour even though there was a strong suggestion of a rainy day ahead.

Life takes us on many journeys. Some are more pleasant than others. You have all gathered by now that I am a bit of an October junkie. What with the changing colours that surround us as all the hardwood trees start showcasing their fall wardrobes and the stores awash with Halloween decor … its a fun festive time and it will only get better as the Holiday season begins… starting usually in early November.

You ready!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Thriller in the last few days…I actually spent time dancing to it last night… Not kidding.. between that and Monster mash… I’m sure my body thought it was having some kind of “nightmare”..
