PL Calendar day 7

zentangle card woodless colour sticks

Day 7

Don’t Strain, Don’t Rush, and Don’t be Greedy

When you are doing something, my may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead relax and enjoy the process (PL, Perfect Liberty)

origami 3.4.18 Remember this from yesterday. I loved the simplicity of it, I wanted to do it. To make it easier on myself, I asked the minister’s wife if she could please show me how to do it. Being a visual person, I do better when I see something done (when it is totally foreign to me and origami is) Her patience at folding the paper, and refolding to ensure that I was seeing where I had to turn the paper, how to fold a crease etc. was calming.

I didn’t know that I was so hesitant to do it wrong, that I wouldn’t even try until I saw her do it. The she patiently led me through the steps, one by one.

Me, “miss get it done” was learning something new, I doubt it is something I will ever excel in, but I did it. I have an artistic bent as you all know. The mediums I do best in, are media that work WITH me, for example, my “style” of work, and my need to watch the process develop (I am getting better) finds me working with acrylic and water paints. Oils and I have not clicked over the years. Yet I do work with mediums that require over night drying…I’ve never taken to oils.

This lesson has a lot to “say” to me. I know that I will do my best to apply myself to practicing the wisdom in this lesson.

I will do my best.. that is all any of us can do.

Have a good day everyone.. LOVE and Blessings.

Wednesday

zen tangle mini 3.4.18 When we begin, there is only one line, by the time we have done, we are looking at what these days is called a Zentangle.

I take my time, and use no end in mind, nor do I try to contemplate design, or a theme. It is relaxation for me, so I simply allow myself to doodle.

zen tangle mini 3.6.18

Last night I began to colour in the various spaces. Leaning towards greens, I don’t try for perfection, and I don’t really try to stay within the lines. I will be interested in seeing IF I finish this “expression”, or will I let it lie on my desk, forgotten, waiting for me to “catch” the “mood” again. If and when it is finished, will it look anything like it started out. That is the beauty of these doodles. They allow, the mind to wander, and the hands to stray.

Mid week already. Hope you have all had a good start to the week, and that today, will be a “stunner” I challenged myself to do something creative every day. Sunday I tried my hand at Origami

origami 3.4.18 Hey, they aren’t perfect, but trying to learn something new and doing something creative every day, for me is relaxing, and by jim-minie I can do with the R & R

Blessings everyone! Let your light shine through in all you do!

sleepless in

piglet bedtime Thursday 22 I want to cheerfully say…

Good Morning everyone… however, having been awoken to activity, and then have 2 full-grown whippets try to snuggle down with me.. ((((who let me add, wanted their breakfast)))) shall we just say, “happy Saturday” and get up to meet the day.

I know you have met little Piglet, but I have been working on texture, I think that you are able to glimpse it. What you can’t see is Piglet’s nose is shiny, with a wet look. I’d love to know what is at the bottom of the cup, she seems so pleased with herself. From the smudges on her face, ?? anyway, she seems happy. That is all we can ask for isn’t it. A happy Piglet.

In life there are circumstances we can control, and other’s we can’t. A wise person once said, “know when to pick your battles”

Today’s PL Calendar page reads, “Listen” and “See” With Careful Attention and Accept Each Other.

“Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without any preconceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.”

card 1.1.18

I like this card, I no longer have it, but still have this picture .. Makes me smile, YOU make me smile, Let us all have a day where we share our happiness with others.

being YOU

africa hippo rhino

Remember the saying, “the glass is either half full” or “the glass is half empty” Is this fellow walking on the bottom, or is he coming up for air. Some days it is hard to tell, if its a good day, or we are just used to the “ambience” and tempo.

“I am so busy” I heard someone say, ” I just can’t get anything done”

I would wonder, then what have they been doing that they are so busy. If we are focused on the moment, then each moment we live through, is an accomplishment. When we go out to lunch, after we have had our lunch, didn’t we accomplish what we set out to do. We ate lunch. We actually “do” things all day. Is it that we don’t acknowledge our accomplishments, that we are always looking ahead, and not satisfied with the present?

Have I been listening to too much Pi. Unless you have heard of the book, seen the film or listened to the CD you might not recognize my reference. That’s OK, my musing can be confusing. Life of Pi

PL calendar day 20 You are YOU, Others are Others

You have your own way of doing things, and others have their way of doing things. Don’t worry about what other people will say. Simply take care of the task at hand.

Can you believe we are already mid month. Please have yourself a grand day tomorrow. Enjoy it to the fullest. Make each moment count. A moment wasted on negative energy, is a moment you are not smiling. Happiness makes for a great day.

When you smile, others will too.

a winter’s day

winchester fog

Driving through the take out lane, I saw the fog was lifting. earlier, not even an hour or so, I could see only two car lengths in front of me

I was heading back towards the city now, with each passing mile, the sky got brighter

building across from po

bright enough, that I thought to stop to take a picture. Usually I am driving by this site during the work day, and the road is just too busy. I may have mentioned that I have been wanting to get a picture before the whole building disappears. It has happened before, I am driving along a road I travel many times a week when suddenly I realize that a building has disappeared.

The world around me is in constant flux. For some reason, the demolition, began at a time that for whatever reason, I missed it. I happened to go to the post office one day (it is across from this location) and when I drove out, it was a “WOW when did that happen???” That was in the fall, and here it is February of the following year, and there it still stands.

building across from post office

I did see an opening in the fence. However, my common sense, held me in check. No hard hat, and not wearing my steel toed footwear. Maybe I’ll get a chance another day. LOL if I were to find rust I would be in 7th heaven.

This adventure took place last week, today, I am looking forward to what’s ahead.

PL Calendar 18 Look Forward to What’s Ahead.

There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.

What a good teaching to start a new week. Hope everyone is enjoying a long week-end, and is revving up for a stunning brand new week.

Jackass Penguins

Africa -jackass penguins

February in South Africa and the Jackass Penguins are enjoying a day on the beach. Isn’t that always the way, someone is enjoying sunshine while we are experiencing gray skies and rain. No matter, what is important that in our day-to-day living, no matter the weather, or situation, we do our best.

PL Calendar #16 Don’t hold anything back; Give it your all

“Always approach things with full enthusiasm and energy. Then, things will develop in a new direction.

Every day is a new day, a new canvas, a new beginning. Let us celebrate today, share a smile, wave hello, and send love!

Rust on Canvas

rust on canvas 2.5.18

rust on canvas

1930’s

mixed media

abstract, acrylic, paste, recycled canvas, mega art stones, paint roller, textured Catalyst brushes by Princeton, layering, natural dry,

rust products by Art extra vagance, (Finnabair) made in Hungary

mega art stones -Finnabairn (art ingredients)

In the past I have used sludge from DeSerres (Tri Art) I spilled my last jar and have yet to replace it, so the above was done using alternate products found in my inventory.

rust supplies

To achieve a result, often requires more than one product, and when one ingredient is not available, if we are determined to get the result we are hoping for, we explore what is available, or easy access, and we experiment. It doesn’t matter if we succeed exactly as we had wanted what matters is that we do our best .. and try.

*** and *** that you are happy and cheerful while you are creating. Happiness is a state of mind. It is the journey that counts. When we are not open to every possibility around us at any given time, it could be a missed opportunity.

Seize the day, make it yours. Have a great start to a brand new week. Each day is a new canvas…Play, Explore, Live, take the initiative, be the first to smile and say hello.

Anticipation, taste sensations, nurturing of the body, Food, what is it with food, we can spend so much time deciding on what to eat, how to cook it, what will go with it, enhance it, and then for some of us, how much to eat of it.

Yet, when it comes to the health of our “mind/spirit” our day-to-day emotions, we allow others to influence and affect the “inner balance” of our personal “self”

PL calendar 3 . Use the power of your smile

A smile has the power to help people feel at ease, cheer them up, and at times, give them courage. Smile and spread your warm-hearted energy to the people around you.
