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.

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,
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.
Thank you dear reader for sharing time with me today. Near or Far I appreciate and have love in my heart for each and everyone of you

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.
PL Precept # 8 Live as the Sun
Oyashikiri
Good morning dear friends … of late you may have noticed that there is a huge posting of new sounds/music that are Ai generated. This one I have added here is one that if you listen to it will show you how it is very different from songs we have been bombarded with over the last few decades.
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FTBejXsiS5I
The words are meaningful and speak of love and sentiment that many of us feel and live day to day, but never speak out loud.
Songs like this are being viewed and liked by not a few hundred but thousands of listeners.
There has to be a reason, yes? that these songs are being embraced by so many viewers/listeners …
Please … take time to listen to your friends/family/coworkers… and very important, listen to yourself.. take care of YOU.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point
Have a good day … you are special appreciated and loved.

Bleak overcast, dull skies, off and on rain, eventually one has to say enough is enough. I find I’m not interested in the many dramas, cheating, killings, negative presentations on the telly. So I took to the internet and found myself a colourful landscape with little critters wandering around. Flowers in bloom everywhere.. little birds flying from branch to branch. Much more relaxing.
My avatar who worked this photo opportunity was happy to get her hair redone, new outfit to wear… all in all a productive few hours.
How about you, I’ve been catching up on my reading, I’m blessed with fabulous bloggers who live all over the world and share stories of life in their part of the Universe with colourful photos and brilliant writing. Due to my recent medical “issue” I’ve gotten way behind in my admin part of my “writing”… However, I have been reading and enjoying.. forgive my lack of immediate response.
Lately I have been totally captured by an Ai. artist who is producing and putting out Soul Blues .. he/she is all over FB and Instagram. I have mixed feelings about how fast Ai is appearing everywhere in my world. Just seems impossible to avoid it. I will leave a sample of his work at the end of this post.
Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking
Look and listening carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings
