no tropical blues,
just simple flowing waves,
happily rolling in to cool
on a hot humid day
when no one wants to come out to play
it is just one of those days =^_^=

Little flower look at you
bleached by the sun, with only rocks to protect you
how brave you are, standing there all alone
gosh I am so glad that I came across you today
you’ve made me smile and given me pause
to reflect on how, anything is possible*.
Thank you little flower,
thank you.

Value your Intuition ! When you suddenly have an A-ha! moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God sending you a message. As soon as you notice something, you should act upon it right away

ps.. when you share your life with people you love, don’t forget to let them know you value them, that you love them. We only live once, when a moment passes, it does not come back for a replay (rerun) Love is powerful and enduring, be aware/respectful. Always. forever is a long time,
oh hello, almost missed you
I felt your stillness
it drew me back to you
sometimes in life,
this is something we need to do too
yet for reasons, beyond comprehension
we keep racing ahead
then wonder how in the world
we find ourselves in over our heads
thank you.. for reminding me
to stop and simply BE

Good afternoon everyone…
Bright and early I too myself off to the cemetery to cut back the evergreens that I planted there some 30 years ago. I had intended to take a before picture, but by the time I arrived at the cemetery the heat of the day was already beginning to show itself. Shy flower that I am… I went over, pulled the weeds, and gathered up the dead leaves for the mulch bag with a determined dedication of purpose.
How is your day so far? The hot weather is to continue on here for the rest of the week. Good time to stay indoors and work on projects in my studio.
I have had many ideas these past weeks, but not had the chance to get started. Today is the day.
How to live an Artistic life...
The PL Principles(21)are the practical guidelines for our daily lives. As PL members they assist us in practicing the PL Precepts (21) The 21 Principles are specific guidelines on how to live the PL Way (an artistic life) and teach us how to reach a positive state of mind, so that we can express ourselves more harmoniously and joyfully
Principle #14 I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working, nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
Reminder, Ancestors day, July 11th. service will be at 10 a.m.

days like today, when the heat blankets the body and all else around you. Moving take concentrated effort. Blah. Only on such days, do I wish for a small section of water to sit submerged in a shallow area where there is a bit of a shade. and the water is lapping gently all around me, cooling and refreshing.
of course #1 choice, is to stay inside, where I have air climate control. No need to think about getting out of the water, getting dry, and finding my way back to the car. This too shall pass.
Happy week-end everyone. I trust wherever you are in, you are enjoying a wonderful memory making day.

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
Q
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”
