LOL it does look slanted, but when I go and look at it … it looks fine, could have been the angle when I took it… anyway, the minerals are safe away from furry paws.

The Brats play cowboys or space cadets not sure, all I know is at some time in the wee hours they go into frisky mode and use the bed as a trampoline to dive over to the bureau where their cat tower is. Thankfully I’m in a dead sleep.. and barely wake now that I know what is happening, The first night or two.. it was a bit un-nerving

No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something,

The joy your feel when you’ve put your all into something its yours alone, Nobody can take that away from you,

PL2020.29

Have a good day everyone. happy start to a new week.

Monday

Good morning everyone,,

Heal from the past

Simply be here

There is only NOW

Cherish what can’t be measured

New Zealand is very beckoning. This picture my friend posted has an almost surrealism to it. Moving has had a dramatic effect on me.. I am still putting together the pieces that shattered around me during the start of the move.

The reality of my situation didn’t hit me till I was able to distance myself from what “was”. You all know the expression,. “one can’t see the forest for all the trees”

Small changes can bring about a fresh outlook.

Are you just living each day and getting into a rut? By making small changes in the things you do, your day to day life an become fresh and exciting.

PL2012.24

in my case it wasn’t a small change.. and… when the reality hit, it was a whopper.

Till soon..

Friday

Yesterday with help from the two “boyz” we got a lot done. Paul is an organizer extraordinaire … Steve has the ability to put things together, & make something work, handyman beyond compare. the two have years of experience working together… we got shelves put up, the cat walk, and a zillion other “projects” I can look around and feel a sense of having arrived. In fact, I slept in today till near 7…. me! who has been up and out of the house by 6 most days… was rather taken back when I saw the time.

Letting Go…. is so much harder than one thinks.. but I am working hard at saying, “No, I’ll pass it on!” The trick today will be getting “stuff” into the car to drop off at a “charity”.

It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyle. That’s what makes life interesting.

PL2020.20

Have a wonderful Friday, keep smiling.

Friends are treasure, cherish them....

Slow Down

Put your heart into your words.

Do you tend too speak in just a matter-of-fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

PL 2022.19

Blessings of the day!

Sunday

Flowers for Dad

A busy person is someone who others can count on.

The fact that you are busy means that you are needed by others. In a way, its a sign of how much they trust and rely on you.

choices

When one is in the middle of a move, not much thought is given to meals… I just grab what is easy, and chomp it down. Not good when you are diabetic. Not good at any time really. Last night I had a reminder that neglecting one’s intake of water, & eating properly at decent intervals is not good! But then, Like magic …I heard an echo… a voice of calm that centered me… lulling the restless mind into a calm zone.. I fell asleep and actually slept till almost 3. There is so much to think about and do, I did manage to get back to sleep and wake up feeling rested.

Face challenging situations with positive determination

When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively find solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

PL2019.13

In life there are always choices… it helps to focus on what is happening in that moment, what you are thinking an how you feel, before making decisions that will impact you going forward.

Cheers everyone,. till soon.

Saturday

Be Sincere and honest toward the people and situation you encounter.

Your expression comes to life through your interactions with people and situations. Strive to put your whole heart into having good relationships with those around you.

Determination

The last few days I have had people in and out non stop looking over “things” that I will not, or can not take with me. It is interesting how what affected me the most was watching the landscape I had been nurturing for over 25 some years… start to disappear, piece by piece,

Watching art supplies, and what nots go was easy peasy. I have already gone through drawers and cupboards and passed along linens and clothes that I have not worn in some time… that was easy too. BUT the ornaments that lent character and (to me) a spiritual energy in the courtyard… not seeing the Buddha overlooking the patio, the Kwan Yin and the Guardian of Justice/Truth not in their places near the ruins of a temple… ahhhh that was and is harder to adjust to. BUT adjust I must, Change is the only constant.

Today’s calendar..

Whether you like or dislike something, give it a try,

Instead of avoiding something because it’s complicated or difficult to understand, just five it a try, Then you will be able to find it interesting,

Grrr my mouse has decided to not work… taking my leave.. have a good day everyone…

Turkey talk

I’m listening – really? – showing off – had enough

They really do have personalities, and days when they are social and other days when they want to just “chill”… they really do know how to show off tho’ and that is always fun to watch. (formatting was being difficult, hope that the captions line up when I hit publish.

Let’s interact proactively with an ever-changing society

Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn to deal with them proactively.
