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.

Little door that leads to learning, relaxation, and promotes sharing. How great is that.
Have a great day everyone. Tomorrow the 21st, we have Thanksgiving service at 7 pm. Please advise Rev. Eugene if you will be staying for the Japanese curry so that we can prepare accordingly.

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

Time was when this was bright and new.
when new it would not have held the same fascination as it does now
While no longer as it was, this fence still stands firmly locked in place. Its purpose has not changed with age. I have loved this place for years, finally the other day, I pulled over and visited.
I suspect it was provincially owned, I have never been there before, yet when I walked around to the back, I felt at peace, the traffic noises drifted away, the moment was pure zen.
This is my idea of a secret garden. =^_^= Find your peace today.
Reminder tomorrow’s Ancestor’s day service is at 10:a.m. Tuesday, June 11.

Sticks and stones, rocks, brick, lumber, everything in life, is canvas ready. each day a new beginning. Art is everywhere. To each his/her own….. creativity begins within.
I remember when I began landscaping in earnest, I would pick up driftwood, rocks cast off metal objects, an empty lot was a huge canvas .. one that would grow and give me a new “view” every season and year.
PL Precept #1 – life is art
Make every day count. Share your beautiful/handsome smile today, Life is good!!

Thursday doors, today the flavour is from Perth, Ontario. A quiet, picturesque little town about an hours drive from Ottawa.
PL calendar day 6 Past,, present or future, always remember to be sincere and honest. At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation your your position or status.

Working and living =^_^= go together – living in the NOW means you are interacting and being present all day, whether it is work or play, you are involved. by putting your best into all you do, the experience is uniquely yours. What ever you do today, enjoy it. Yes, really… do your best.
