PL Calendar #5

A cheerful greeting brings people closer to one another

Interactions between people start with greeting one another.

Take the initiative and be the first to open your heart.

A quilt is made by piecing pieces together, each quilt is different. Even a quilt done using the same pattern, when done by another person, will end up looking very different. Choices in size, material, colours used, textiles selected, like people, no two are alike.

A smile, a friendly word, listening with an open heart, make today another special day. Share an invisible hug, smile and say hi!

Happy Saturday!

Baby bananas how cute is that.

Come on now. Baby bananas.

Have a banana-rama Saturday everyone. Catch the rays, ride the trails, simply kick back relax and enjoy what the world has to offer.

Listen ** See ** Accept ***

PL calendar #24 Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without any preconceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.

Listen and See with Careful attention and Accept Each Other

being attentive

O estado de alerta entusiasma Calendario PL #15

Being attentive makes life more enjoyable

Seja algo trivial ou grandioso, viva dando atencao a todos os detalhes. Isso gera bem-estar.

Live life paying careful attention to every detail, be it big or small. By doing so, you will be able to experience the subtle joy of things.

Some dreams never get completed

others fade into distant memories

when we live in the now

every moment is a dream come true

What a

What a difference a day makes.

zen tangle mini 3.4.18

I used to suggest to clients that keeping a journal, even if it was sentence, or a word to express how they/you felt at that moment, or about the day. Not everyone likes to write, or wants more words.

Since in PL, (Perfect Liberty) we say, “Life is art” (Precept #1) I began to suggest if not a word, a sketch, or picture, something doodled. It doesn’t really matter, no one will see or read what is written, unless you share. It is for YOU from YOU.

At the time, it seems insignificant, but that simple “action” leads to appreciation and gratitude. As the days progress (nights) something beautiful starts to happen, you see what “was” in such a different light. No two days are the same. Never. Moments cannot be relived.

Even if I end up adding only one bit of shading or colour tonight, this little card will have another dimension. AND yes, even if I don’t get to do anything with the card, today, tomorrow or the day after, I will SEE the card differently with each passing day.

A”story” of my own making….. Happy sunshine, and many creative opportunities be afforded you today. If it is evening when you read this, may you be blessed with a contentment of peace in your sleep.

note> it is amazing how we have time to try to unravel the world and things that are totally out of our control, yet we can’t make time, for our”SELVES” we resist.

Thursday door – dreams

Alexander Lautsyus January post

Door – usually we think of a physical barrier that opens, closes, revolves, but what about the doorway to our dream states, or entrance to another realm. When Alexander posted this picture in earlier January of this year, I was immediately transported to another place, a state of mind/Being. I had no words to describe how it made me feel, it just spoke volumes to me.

I immediately texted him asking for permission to use this photo, this is a copy, to see his original post, please visit ice art Jan 22.18

The picture for me puts a visual on the “feeling” of some of my dreams. His 1st picture in that blog, reminds me of when I am searching looking out, and this one I’ve posted, reminds me, or gives me a feeling of happiness and joy. He was on Lake Ontario, he looked, he saw, and he captured.

Not a physical door, but definitely for me, a doorway, an experience of walking through to another “world”. For “real” tangible doors, you need to link to Norm 2.0 and from there follow the links to all the other bloggers who post to this feature.

Thanks for sharing today, it is a beautiful day, and you are all part of my sunshine!

a special thanks to Alexander Lautsyus for allowing me to share his “works” with you

and to you Norm for indulging “my” love of all doors/doorways

shades of gray

stark, cloudy, bleak, no, not bleak, just gray

what is there to say

the water looks dark, cold and uninviting

no need to test it with my toe

by the time I walk across the snow-covered grounds

my feet and toes will no longer be cozy warm

I think I will pass, and not go near the water’s edge

that is something I can do on another day

meanwhile I will view from afar

the far away shoreline, before

I head back, following the path that I’ve taken

back to the truck.

Not really exciting, but refreshing, yes.

A winter’s day, shown in shades of gray

I found some colour to brighten the gray

I will come back another day

We are heading into a storm

for winter, this is the norm

after all this is Canada eh!

mountain 1.15.

I knew I shouldn’t just stop along the highway, but when I saw the trees coated in white snow, I found a way to stop so I could take a few pictures.

mountain c 1.15

Too often, I squeal with delight at something I pass along the way. I know moments can’t repeat themselves, but still I try. I wanted to capture the white frosting on the sculpted branches. I drove for miles and saw only open fields, with winter shades of blanched stalks, and soft golden grasses standing out from the fresh fallen snow. Farm houses, and barns in the distance would have made great captures, but there was no place to stop.

We need to seize opportunities when they show themselves. As I turned off the busy #43, towards Mountain, I saw the stand of trees, with their blanket of snow, and the textured ground cover and I knew… it was time to pull over. Such moments, are not necessarily the best photos, but they sure are rewarding moments that leave a person feeling good. Sometimes we need just LIVE the moment, and then move on.

If we hold back, wait and want only that perfect picture. We miss the moment. Technical composition, for me does not >for me< a memory make… Just saying…

That is why we are all so different, and why appreciation of another is so valuable in the enrichment of daily life.
