I live on an island where my front door opens to this view. I can spend hours watching the water swirl and listen to its song as it makes its way around the rocks. I can even watch the sky as it turns from dawn to dusk…. It is true I can’t get to it every day, but it never leaves my heart or my thoughts. We live alone on this island, there are neighbours on other islands, but we are fortunate in that, living in different time zones, we are seldom on our properties at the same time. This is the beauty of living in a virtual world (smile)

By now, you have if you are a regular to this blog, have read I am moving and have seen the story I shared with you the other day about the “Little House” https://youtu.be/F74CR1uqXFA?si=M4Fxvkml523xj3Al I have heard back from a few of you who took the time to watch the YouTube version of Virginia Lee Burton’s .The Little House. thank you,, I appreciate that you took the time to view it.. it tells the story of what I am living in a very poignant way.

For days now I have been going through photos, correspondence etc that accumulates when you have lived in one house for over 25 years. The faces of friends now long gone, or living in “space and time”. It had been tedious and long.. my hands ache at night from the constant pulling, and tearing of papers for recycling. But … in all the frustrations and challenges, I have found happy moments seeing the faces of people I once worked with, and shared special adventures with.

I am tossing a lot of “stuff” out.. a lot of what can be recycled will go to charities. Leaving 3 levels of living space, to go to a 1.5. apartment is certainly going to be a new adventure. The hardest is knowing that my gardens the green space I have surrounded myself with, will be no more. The animals that alive here …(Outside) will have to find another oasis. There is no doubt that my little house will be razzed to the ground, and with it the vegetation that has sheltered us for years will disappear.

You have all heard me say this before… life is to be lived and enjoyed, don’t squander your moments …. embrace life…. appreciate your friends…. and protect nature as best you can. Reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in awhile.. smile at a stranger… life is precious.

This was taken by my Dad who was an avid photographer, he took the pictures and developed them himself. And it was a time when we could enjoy country sides like this on a hike not far from our home. You guessed right if you thought, not so now…

Thursday

I see I had a typo I missed, a memory from 2008 how basic and different the technology was.. The avatars today look so different, yet back then, the one you see above was thought to me so advanced compared to earlier ones. Life is just a parade of changes.

The weather forecast is for gray, cloudy and cool days even into the week-end. Let’s hope that changes..

Today’s PL message…

Value those who are nearest to you.

It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your partner/spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

The PL newsletter is out, if you are not on the mailing list, please let Rev. Hiroko know. It will include the calendar of events and special services.

Did you know that PL has a unique way of offering personal guidance? Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals, and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. Thru consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation.

To complain is a waste of your energy.

Whining and complaining will not change anything, Look for the shortcomings in your own thoughts or methods and tackle your problems creatively.

Live life with a smile!

With the start of the new year, I was cleaning out files, and found this advert for when I was working with a product called Powertex, and giving demos .. so other “artists” could learn about the product. These were garden sculptures I had done over time to demonstrate its capabilities. The one piece lasted outside in our Canadian winters for over 10 years. (bottom right) In the end it was the center piece for climbing vines.

Change, the only constant in life.. is change.

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation

Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Dress warmly. enjoy your day!!

Powertex was a great product for me to work with, I used it with Paverpol, (face upper left corner) I lean towards mix media expressions.

Surrender the need to control. Let go.. Happiness begins within.

The moment that you notice something is the best time to take care of it. If you react quickly your life will be more efficient. (PL2020.18)

Do you make ghoulish greeting cards for the witching month?

Yes I do…it came over me.. cutting, folding, stickers, pockets, labels, time to be creative.
