Some days we just want to go back to bed
But
it is not a luxury we can afford
so, we get up and soldier on
true, when there is a will … there is a way
hopefully you will listen to what a I am going to say
Always be true to yourself – because you can never escape the inner YOU

Top two pictures were taken in Europe by friends travelling, everyone knows I have a passion for doors. (you think) ” No need to bring anything back, looks for interesting doors” There is never a shortage. What would we do without -doors-
Good morning everyone. Can you feel the change in the early morning air. I’m loving it!
Bonnie took me out for my first birthday month lunch yesterday, crab and shrimp linguine with fresh asparagus in an Alfredo sauce. It was ok, the company was superb! I knew I could have a problem with the Alfredo sauce, but I tried it anyway seafood and fresh asparagus… hey! (yes I had a reaction… but ah… once in awhile… some of us never learn!)
I am responsible for my actions.. sigh… does that sound grown up or what!
Have a good day everyone, for more doors from all over the world… please have a look at Dan’s site No Facilities, link below (if you like fun books, when you visit his site, check out his recent book)
Remember to share a smile today.

In PL, we celebrate Thanksgiving every month. Day of Appreciation/Thanksgiving.
A thankful heart leads to happiness.
When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes
Put aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.

Avoid having too many “likes” or “dislikes” Whether it is food, people or anything else in life be careful not to overly like or dislike something. Things tend to get complicated when you allow yourself to be overly one-sided.

Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….
I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.
Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,

There is something captivating about seeing the trees shake off the winter pallor and begin their transformation — soon tiny buds will adorn the waking branches… you can feel the anticipation in the cool crisp morning air.
