Tuesday
Some days…. you wonder if it is all happening… or if you have been transported to another place in time. Nothing seems familiar… nothing is the same… yet… you are pretty sure, you haven’t gone anywhere.
The heat and humidity has been fierce. Don’t dare look in a mirror. Find a shady place to hide away till night comes and it will be time soon enough for another day.
Good or bad, it is your mirror
Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

Monday
Good morning everyone,,
Heal from the past
Simply be here
There is only NOW
Cherish what can’t be measured
New Zealand is very beckoning. This picture my friend posted has an almost surrealism to it. Moving has had a dramatic effect on me.. I am still putting together the pieces that shattered around me during the start of the move.
The reality of my situation didn’t hit me till I was able to distance myself from what “was”. You all know the expression,. “one can’t see the forest for all the trees”
Small changes can bring about a fresh outlook.
Are you just living each day and getting into a rut? By making small changes in the things you do, your day to day life an become fresh and exciting.
PL2012.24
in my case it wasn’t a small change.. and… when the reality hit, it was a whopper.
Till soon..

musing
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.

Slow Down
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.

drum roll
Stop…. take a deep breath…. hold it…. let it out slowly….. did that help.. NNOO! Then do it again… close your eyes this time.. block out the world… now slowly take another deep breath… hold it… and let out a big sigh…. How was that???
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
Call internet provider… what was working the other day . is not working today. After much back and forth.. “our offices are not open at the moment, but you can go to our internet website .. log in and your problem can be quickly resolved.. supply your e-mail and we will send you a link”
Hmmmm wonder how I can do that when the internet is not working an that is why I’m calling. However talking to a mechanical robot does not get my any further, I am stumped, I go silent. After moments of silence, I hear a human voice. Relieved I explain my situation… the voice tells me to unplug the modem.. I look blankly at the screen and my cell phone.. there are a zillion wires at my feet. “which wire exactly” I ask…
“Do you know where your modem is” asks the disembodied voice. “yes” I replied “I saw the repairman install it in the closet” Then I was given further instructions to go to the box etc… and from there it only got more “challenging” With patience, and trying to find buttons where there were none… the internet is now up and running, but for how long, who knows.
What a way to start one’s day.

Moving day everyone… back tomorrow
Life is an experience. There are days when it all goes well… and others…. Let’s just say… tomorrow is another day!
Smile… be happy… otherwise, you will have a miserable day. Make it work!

Flowers for Dad
A busy person is someone who others can count on.
The fact that you are busy means that you are needed by others. In a way, its a sign of how much they trust and rely on you.

Doors
Which doorway will you visit?
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 PL2019.12

I live on an island where my front door opens to this view. I can spend hours watching the water swirl and listen to its song as it makes its way around the rocks. I can even watch the sky as it turns from dawn to dusk…. It is true I can’t get to it every day, but it never leaves my heart or my thoughts. We live alone on this island, there are neighbours on other islands, but we are fortunate in that, living in different time zones, we are seldom on our properties at the same time. This is the beauty of living in a virtual world (smile)
By now, you have if you are a regular to this blog, have read I am moving and have seen the story I shared with you the other day about the “Little House” https://youtu.be/F74CR1uqXFA?si=M4Fxvkml523xj3Al I have heard back from a few of you who took the time to watch the YouTube version of Virginia Lee Burton’s .The Little House. thank you,, I appreciate that you took the time to view it.. it tells the story of what I am living in a very poignant way.
For days now I have been going through photos, correspondence etc that accumulates when you have lived in one house for over 25 years. The faces of friends now long gone, or living in “space and time”. It had been tedious and long.. my hands ache at night from the constant pulling, and tearing of papers for recycling. But … in all the frustrations and challenges, I have found happy moments seeing the faces of people I once worked with, and shared special adventures with.
I am tossing a lot of “stuff” out.. a lot of what can be recycled will go to charities. Leaving 3 levels of living space, to go to a 1.5. apartment is certainly going to be a new adventure. The hardest is knowing that my gardens the green space I have surrounded myself with, will be no more. The animals that alive here …(Outside) will have to find another oasis. There is no doubt that my little house will be razzed to the ground, and with it the vegetation that has sheltered us for years will disappear.
You have all heard me say this before… life is to be lived and enjoyed, don’t squander your moments …. embrace life…. appreciate your friends…. and protect nature as best you can. Reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in awhile.. smile at a stranger… life is precious.
This was taken by my Dad who was an avid photographer, he took the pictures and developed them himself. And it was a time when we could enjoy country sides like this on a hike not far from our home. You guessed right if you thought, not so now…
View your Difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.
