cosy & warm

Let’s sit by the fire where it is cosy and warm. We can listen to the crackling and popping as we watch the flames dance merrily in joyful harmony along the burning logs. Everyone is so busy, running here and there, getting ready for one last fling in 2024. In contrast I want to mellow out and ease gracefully towards the new adventures that await me. 2024 has been a wonderful year, I am blessed with love and friendships that grow richer with each passing moment … It is with heartfelt gratitude that I wish you all the very best in the coming days, months.. Thank you for your participation in this “community” I enjoy your input, your blogs, photos, music, life is good when we can share it’s bounty with friends.

The world will change when you look at things in a positive light

Everything we encounter is an opportunity for us to express ourselves. What we choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you/us. We cannot always avoid “situations” but we have control on how we react to them, or let them impact on us ….

waiting

I didn’t see her at first… she stood so still…

Once I caught the glimpse of her waiting patiently, I couldn’t “not” see her

My first intention was to just grab a picture … then I thought I’d clean it up, take away the tree she stood behind. In the spring when the tree begins to leaf out, she will be hidden from view again. I might still do that, meanwhile, I wanted to share her… She obviously has been there for some time. I wonder at the stories she could tell.

Awww … someday… I’ll stop and …. Another mystery to unravel when time and inclination strike again…

Today Monday the 30th. there is one day left in the year 2024. Are you ready for a new year, another 365 days of adventures, new opportunities, new friends…

Use your results to make the next time even better

Whether “things” turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the next time.

NB* the Chinese new year (lunar calendar) this year will be January 29 2025, ending Feb. 16.2026 – it will bring with it, wisdom, agility and strategic foresight. If you know your sign already, this year it will be the wood snake. The wood snake year may bring some challenges in career and finances, stay positive and flexible to overcome setbacks.. Focus and health, avoid negativity and you will handle the year with confidence and success.

Talent

There comes a time when we have to acknowledge that there are talented individuals out there.. Naria the vlogger/blogger who put together this video of a holiday show that was presented in Second Life for the holidays, is an “influencer” who helps showcase the many individuals in the virtual world who work behind the scenes to entertain and bring happiness and smiles to everyone… Not just the communities within Second Life, but to everyone!

Every avatar you see is a “person” who has spent hours not only developing their online personalities, but working together to put together this musical. The set designers, the costume makers, the makeup artist… No one person does it alone..

So it is in our everyday world. Please everyone..

Let’s find the good in others and praise them

All people have good qualities and bad qualities, Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.

TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN

My thought as I drifted off to sleep –

Solitude offers stillness of one’s own being.

The joy of/in simple pleasures

Happy week-end everyone.

We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.

Buddha

Leave the past in the past. What is important is what you are going to do now. Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Not only will it be the shortest day of the year.. weather is predicted to be 7 degrees colder than yesterday. Bundle up! enjoy the crispness in the air… have a joy filled day! Why? because you deserve it!

A thankful person will grow as an individual

When you are able to have a thankful attitude, you will be blessed with good intuition and more enthusiasm, which will continue to move things in a positive direction.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.

Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.

Wednesday

Always remember to be thankful and humble – everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. We are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down.

You create your reality when you begin each day in meditation/prayer

Every experience is a journey and brings awareness.

Have a good day everyone! till soon.

Tuesday

Ever feel like you are on a ride that just keeps going around and around… you’re moving but not going anywhere…

Enjoy the moment while you wait

Things come about when they are meant to happen. Think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome. When you are not having fun, could it be because you are being lazy? Sometimes we feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

Till soon!
