fyi ..Rockhound Gemboree was a total delight. I attended a lecture on the oldest dinosaur found in Alberta… saw some amazing displays and came home with a few treasures!
Be kind to one another! smile and share PL Sunshine and Joy.
The dragon roars – and all around the town his meaning is clear – stop the infernal negativity – start looking around and find the joy and sunshine. Stop chasing tomorrow or dwelling on what was, this is NOW – open your eyes to what IS –
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

Till Soon everyone! Heading for Bancroft today! and.. so everyone hears it at the same time…remember all the “stuff” I gave away, donated etc. (to do with cardmaking and multi media projects) ….. had to make a trip to Scrap en Masse yesterday – October is coming!
Today is day for some quiet reflection. I scrolled thru some of my pictures .. taking trips down memory lane. Found some doors I’d like to revisit.
Then I found the “thought for the day” that I’d like to use today…(is the Universe sending me a message here)
Leave the past in the past, and live fully in the now
Stop living in the past. You can only focus on things that are happening right now in front of you.

re: changing of the computers from laptop to desktop ..I am thrilled to be back using a desk top, I had to practice patience, and depend on the goodwill of friends who helped me out on this project. I am happy to report that as of this moment, I have three working monitors and seem to be able to access programs and files that I think I want. “jai guru dev,
because we can’t see the ground under the ice, does that mean it isn’t there
with the ivory cover being missing, will the piano still play
will the sun ever shine again..
How authentic are we….
Life is what it is… I learned a long time ago…. even side by side looking out at the same view, no two people will ever have the same experience or see the same thing. But I learned in my lifetime, that in being true to myself, my journey is blessed… how about you?
In the silence – garden spirits (nature)keep watch…
Just because you close your eyes, the day does not disappear,,, as much as you want to believe that night won’t follow day…. or day turn to night – life is what it IS no more… no less.
Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement
If you only complain about something nothing will get better Look for shortcomings in your thinking to come up with creative solutions to your problems

Estava triste (I was unhappy) Sem sabe o que e viver (not knowing what to live for, Nao sabia mais sorrir (I knew not how to smile) Nem valia mais viver (life just wasn’t worthwhile. Sem sabe a que fazer (not knowing what I could do,) Sem saber come quem contar (Not kowing who to trust) (PL Songbook)

music -Flash back 2020 Georgia on my mind, by the Traditions Band (Dave Renz)
Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through
It doesn’t matter where you go .. how you do your hair, wear your clothes, you will always be YOU. Clothes, makeup, hairstyles will not change the person you are, It does feel good to dress up, and it is fun to try different outfits, but always, you “person” is the YOU you woke up with and will be with you when you turn off at night.

How many times have you gone on a holiday to escape, only to find that you only took your “issues” with you … and guess what.. when you get home/back- nothing changed.
Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.
Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.
