the little house

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…

I see I had a typo I missed, a memory from 2008 how basic and different the technology was.. The avatars today look so different, yet back then, the one you see above was thought to me so advanced compared to earlier ones. Life is just a parade of changes.

The weather forecast is for gray, cloudy and cool days even into the week-end. Let’s hope that changes..

Today’s PL message…

Value those who are nearest to you.

It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your partner/spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

The PL newsletter is out, if you are not on the mailing list, please let Rev. Hiroko know. It will include the calendar of events and special services.

New day

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.

spring

Spring flowers appearing bringing a burst of colour to otherwise gray skies. The “boys” in the woodlands, showing off for me… I wanted to show you the beautiful heart the male has on his head. It really shows up during mating season. They had their breakfast and were leaving… I caught them going over the fence and called out…” stop.. want to grab a picture.”. the darlings obliged by staying still long enough for me to grab the picture. Aren’t they handsome!

Forest maintenance .. the brush gets too high, scrub trees grow, interfere with hydro lines… this is the time of year that crews come along and clear..

I asked why ….this time of year, …reply.. so that the brush is cleared away before birds come along and build nests. It does open up the area along the side of the road…. for sure it changes the whole look… I will be interested in seeing how it will fill in once the foliage begins to grow.

Meanwhile, I get to gather odds and ends of wood left behind by the crew.. not sure why some wood is taken and some is left behind. Finding odd pieces, I can let them dry, then sculpt them. Just have to find where my carving knives are, they were put a way in a safe place… meaning.. I put them away and can’t find them.

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously, you will be able to find a way to break through. PL2014.26

Have a great day everyone!

Till soon.

Dentelle

Meet Dentelle, first three pictures from left to right, the end picture is BeeJu, both of these gals are being groomed for a project I’m wanting to expand on. Dentelle was brave enough to try the new Cardboard Avatar that started as an April Fool’s idea for a Designer in SL (Salt & Pepper).. who was joined by other designers, and we now have a growing number of “people” in SL who have adapted the idea.. It has taken on a life of its own.

There is now a group for all of us who have fallen in love with this idea, and these are some of the items in the hunt that popped up. I have the LM for you here if you are in SL http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Astralia%20DEAD%20DOLL/161/118/1177

I use the avatars in my projects for the church as well as my other blogs. The girls are great to work with, always on time, and open to most of my ideas. Salary wise, it’s a breeze, they like being kept in smart clothes (to their taste of course) latest hairstyles and a place to hang.

Someone asked me the other day how old I was.. I was at the cash having a friendly chat about the mushrooms I had bought… on sale the huge big cafe mushrooms… I told the gal I ate them like a radish or orange, just straight out of the package.. no .. no condiments, no sauce, and yes raw.. That had the whole line at this cash smiling and wondering why raw.. I jokingly said, that is what keeps me young.. (of course I’m not “young”)

Then began the… “Oh” “ahs” they were all guessing of course at my age, since looking at me in my “outdoor” gear as my friends laughingly call my “out door” clothes. can really only leave people “wondering”… I avoided the how old are you question, with “in life, my goal is to be happy, and live each day doing my best to keep myself positive and spending time smiling and sharing “happy”.

Today’s PL quote – If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.
