sometimes in a world of chaos, we need not understand, there are far too many elements
accept, let go and move on.
PL calendar day 3 Instead of worrying .. do something about it.
It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, What if this happens? or Things might end up that way. Instead, be proactive and change how you see and do things, in each situation.

it was a restless dream
I heard my thoughts,
the challenges from various sections
of my overworked gray cells
the unfinished sentences
the words of wisdom
clashing with aggressive shouts
the voice of reason was not to be ignored
throught it all
a part of me sat unmoved
was this nonsense
or merely me
unable to make sense
of the prattle and the inner voices
that when all vying for attention
at the same time
make no sense at all

PL Calendar day 2
Live each day with hope Even in those situation when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way.

Found, in a search and find mission the other day. Was actually looking for paint. Thinking I got off the “track” somehow. There she was, patiently waiting to be discovered. It was the highlights in her hair and her make up that “hooked” me. Her eyes are still bright with a sparkle. She had been well loved, now she was discarded waiting for her new fate.
I can easily be distracted when I am in an interesting place. I learn about myself and life by being open to new possibilities. My husband as a reporter, was a great observer, we could be in the same place at the same time, but his sense of what was happening, and mine were often very different. The unique components of his personality and character blended and added to my own “self”.
It is interesting how often in the day, his presence in my life is felt. Never be afraid of love or of differences, in a relationship, they make us stronger. Love is unconditional, it is faith, trust, & so much more. The word respect is so important, in defining a strong relationship, whatever the relationship might be.
Is RESPECT in your life? “love”

When we are young and begin our journey, art is a creative outlet. A way of expression. Young eyes, will replicate with whatever medium they have on hand and will delight us with their drawings and insights.
As we travel the road of life, our thoughts and views take on different forms of expression. This drawing was done by my 6 year old niece, seeing it, I was filled with memories of the days where I lay with my pencils, crayons and rescued papers, designing what I knew would be the gowns and dresses of the “fashion” world.
What happens to our dreams, do they actually go away, or do they blossom into an assortment of different colour and shapes. I still think of drawing and using fashion when I sit to “express” my thoughts, the key word being -think- that disappears the minute I see a blank page/canvass. My innocence has had years of living to change its perceptions.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art, friends, go with the flow, the only constant in life is change. Life your life to the fullest, appreciate and be grateful for all the comes your way. Growing pain and all. You “art” will shine and continue to be uniquely yours.

If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it. Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

Some doors should just stay shut, and others should be explored. A door opened yesterday, that gave vent for deep rooted anger and hurt to escape. Fortunately I was able to close the door again. But it is obviously one I will have to explore again, at another time.
My Mother passed away 2 years ago, my husband one year ago. There is more processing to do. I give thanks for the blessing of friends.
PL Precept # 5 One’s self is lost by being emotional
PL Precept # 4 Being annoyed limits your expression.
Question, when your hurt is disrespected and tossed aside, my reaction is to withdraw, so that I can be respectful as much as I can of another persons stubbornness… Why is it so difficult for me to accept. I am not a masochist .. I distance myself my preference to be to live in peace and be happy. However, there are times, it isn’t that simple. So by golly, shut that darn door, and leave it closed, in fact, bring the nails and hammer and I will nail it shut.
How serious am I.
We can open a door and walk away, or we can look out and shut the door, staying inside, or …….. ?????
Today being Thursday, check out other blogs that are featuring doors. begin here Norm 2.0
