Hula Hamster JOY
This precious handmade hamster, makes my heart sing. She puts a smile in my heart just by sitting there smiling back at me.
The last few days have been difficult for me. I have found myself drifting into a state of “low drive and little interest ” When I could I retreated to my bed, the quiet of a darkened room and the desire to sleep. My sleep mates were only too happy to crawl under cover and enjoy time out from the weather that was raging outside.
Today I had to go out, there were errands that needed doing, so after a lazy start to the day, I took myself off to do what needed doing. When I arrived at the church I was surprised with JOY, the adorable Hula Hamster. Oh what a gift. I melted and was totally taken in by her charm.
Loving caring friendships are priceless. JOY lifted me out of the shadows , back into the sunshine. Olinda weaved a magic spell, I am blown away. Thank you. I am reminded that in life, in a split second, the sun can break through the clouds, and all is right again.
I am so blessed. The Universe always comes through for me, when I allow myself to stumble, my friends are there reminding me, that LOVE, is always with me. God is Love, Love is GOD and we are all ONE

Finding a balance between past and the present. – Find a good balance between your present and past experiences.
Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcoming in others.
and today’s thought.. PL. day 23rd. Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job. If you accept a task, made the choice, took the option, whatever, own it.
In PL we believe that when things happen to us, always there is a meaning, or a reason, our actions, behaviours brought us to the/that moment.
We are not cast in stone, we are not without feelings, nor are we unaffected by the world around us. Change is the only constant in life, each day, each day, brings a new NOW.

Hello, bonjour, bom dia, and jumping jack greetings to each and every one of you. Another new year is just around the corner, In China the airports, train stations, all methods of travel really, are homeward bound. It is exciting, and alive time. Seeing friends and family sharing huge family meals, and gatherings.
Since my Mother’s passing and for several years before she actually passed, the Chinese New Year came and went with a happy conversation and a small sparkle. She was unable to get to the various celebrations held around the city or at the Chinese Embassy. Since I can remember, Chinese New Year has been the BIG turning point for me. I remember as a child the banquet and feasts, the dragon dances, fire crackers and the many many ritual tasks that were preformed to make sure we started the new year off with gratitude for the past year and much appreciation for the wonderful time ahead. Good fortune, Prosperity wishes were everywhere. Red envelopes, special candies, Happy New Year greetings always included the wish that your life be blessed with good health.
With my husband’s passing last year I wanted more than ever for this transition into another year to be auspicious and filled with the many joys and encouragements we would share to be 100 fold. I worked on a year of the pig mixed media piece so that I would be actively piecing together elements that would be like a visual firecracker for me. The lunar new year depending on where you live, is o the 5th. of February.
Ps… my little wheel around the pig. spins.
Reminder.. due to the storm and the broken water pipe, there will be no service today, but Thanksgiving service is still scheduled for tomorrow evening at 7 pm.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens, Kahlil Gibran
“A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other wisdom that he is wiser today, than he was yesterday”. Alexander Pope
This picture was taken on a day trip exploring the back roads in the Gatineau Hills, We never know what we will find when we turn a corner, or turn left instead of right.
Yesterday I was driving along with clear blue skies when I came to a red light. Instead of going left I went right and drove right into dark gray clouds, driving winds, and hail. In an instant the world went from, what a beautiful day, to Whoa!!! hello adventure. Such is life. For 15, 20 minutes or so, we drove in a gray snow blind. Barely able to see the road ahead. Then as quickly as it came, the storm left us.
Life is full of surprises, and how we accept and deal with them, is our choice. Have a great day everyone. Visit Norm’s blog for a link to more doors. Norm 2.0

Day 16 of the PL calendar for 2019
Even thought 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.
Be happy, live to spread happiness and joy wherever you go – people will think you mad, but oh how divine it is to share a smile with another being. A dog wags his tail enthusiastically when you say hello, the cat, rushes to snuggle and purr in your arms. ah there is an unspoken bliss when we are harmonizing. Try it. You may like it.
PL Principle 21 will live in true harmony with the world around me.
Bom dia…

flashback 2006
The last few days, maybe even weeks, I have found myself thinking of a different time and what was. How a young garden, took shape, and grew till it no longer resembled what was.
Life mirrors nature, the link between the two has been established since way before I was born. I am only now pulling the fragments of the past into what I have been living and what is to come. I can feel the stirring of new beginnings, I know that I am already well into discovery mode.
Today, day 15 of the PL Calendar – Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best”
Everything in this world progresses an develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best.
Yesterday I drove to Montreal, the day was bright, balmy and welcoming. Each mile was a new beginning. Even though I have travelled this route many times, it was like a first visit. The landscape along the way, simply would not be still. The shades of late autumn strutted their charms against the blankets of pristine snow. I felt their happy waves, and delighted in the variety of picture postcards they flashed my eager eyes as I drove by. Mother Nature, stayed with me all the way, the best tour guide ever.
Life is a blessing, I am filled with appreciation and gratitude. Thank you all for sharing my world, Life is love, and love is YOU and the world we are in.

Kejimkujik National Park, NS
Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia, a very large and lovely area, with many hiking trails, rivers and falls. Included are areas sacred to the indigenous MiKmaw people of Nova Scotia. (photo M. Lewis)
I saw the picture on social media, and was totally blown away, especially after I found the face that was looking out from behind the trees. I just loved the picture… so was taking a closer look, and et voila, beautiful isn’t it. The photographer, often has breath-taking photos… this one, begged a second look. I am so thankful, that my request to use the picture was greeted with an affirmative answer. Another reason for considering visiting Nova Scotia again. It has been too long since my last visit.
PL Calendar, day 12 Be cheerful and Carefree
Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.
This world is filled with wonders still to be discovered. Let’s go forward into 2019, with peace in our hearts, and the desire to be in, and share more of the natural wonders in this great land of ours.

void or
A black void. As an artist, I had a moment the other day, where I wanted to express that very moment, not think about anything but saying, Blah. Snap, and so what. Followed by many exclamation marks.
My eyes searched my workroom… till they fell on a big bottle of black glue. Ah Ha! I took an old canvas and began to just vent with the glue on the canvas. It was black and shiny that I dug out a bottle of cut glass pieces I had for dear knows what reason… and some gold cording. Then gave way to.. come what may.
Voila… t’is a black void. my sometime co-pilot, when she saw it, said it looked like “inside a sparkling cave filled with shiny somethings. enchanting” =^_^= I have been blessed with wonderful kind friends.
In the sunlight or under a light, it is true it has bling. Bling that winks and shines in a very cheerful way. This is an example of, starting out with a blank – need to just vent/express…. letting go, and then seeing the results.
PL Calendar day 9 (2019) It’s interesting because it’s different
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “This is the way it has to be” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

PL Calendar day 6 (2019)
Past, present or future, always remember to be sincere and honest
At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself in relation to your position or status.
In any form of expression, there are often many components that come together to get a desired effect, or to form the base for which you are about to elaborate on. Even then, the presentation can take so many forms depending on the direction you are going at that point in time.
That is what makes life so darn interesting. That is what makes getting up each morning so fun, yes fun. Means everyday brings new experiences, new endings, beginnings, with each step we take, we mature, we grow. Our ability to navigate the world around us gets that much experiences.
Hey yesterday, I actually went through a car wash on my own, I know. Most of you have done it a zillion times. It was new for me. I was so chuffed. =^_^=
Have a good day everyone, bom dia a todos.
