Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
It’s easy to place the blame on others and society for the problems you encounter in life. But you are the one with the power to change the outcome. (PL2019.28)

Breathe life into things and money.

Loved this creative way of showcasing what was.. Touring along a dusty country road, where there was a lot lush vegetation, It was a refreshing sight to find an old barn that was being used as a backdrop for old pieces of rusting metal farm equipment and an old bike.
There is an implement on the bottom row that reminds me of the ice “tongs” used to grab big chunks of ice stored in “ice” barns.. in the days before refrigerators. Does seeing these old pieces remind you of another place and time? I see there is a bigger one upper left. I love rusted metals, can anyone shed light on some of the history showcased here?
Have a great start to your week!

You grow by overcoming the obstacle in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation. (PL2014.9)
With the heat of these past weeks, and the high humidity, I realized I had to take steps to make changes. I used to attend a Health Club “gym” on a regular basis, going 4, 5 even 7 times a week. It was a quiet place, where I could get in my walking, some biking, light weights etc. and even rowing in. Then my husband got sick and that fell by the wayside. I last attended in 2017, this week I signed up again, and will slowly adjust my daily routine to include time at Movati. There have been changes .. the quiet mat to do stretching has been moved to another area, its a big place,, you can google it if you are interested. I wandered yesterday and found nooks I can have quiet moments in, The fireman ropes are now in a strength training (heavy work out) area where I can access them easily. It should be good for me, I want to make sure I still get my 2 miles in a day.
The mosquitos and biting insects have worn me down, I need to move on.
How about you, has the season so far been good for you. ? . We all need to make the time to reflect on how we are doing/coping, There is so much turmoil and negative energy around these days.
Have a good day everyone!

No matter where you go, how far you travel, how many state lines you cross/provinces you visit… you will always be alone with your thoughts.
* a reminder for you – – Waist or Waste..
By misunderstanding the key to freedom, it becomes an anchor.
Value your intuition. When you suddenly have an “A-Ha!” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind.. Act on it right away. (PL2014.19)

Isn’t this the sweetest face.. loves his peanuts.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested. When ever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance, Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion. (PL2014.17)

Even if you don’t have what you need, you will find a way. If you are fixated on What you don’t have, you will not be blessed with wisdom and a way to solve your problems. Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way. (2011l24)

Your feelings of Appreciation become real when you express them. Express your feelings of appreciation by actually saying “Thank you” out loud or by doing something to show how you feel. Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too. Leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.11)
Life isn’t about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself – George Bernard Shaw
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is. (PL2014.5)
Update on the car. the smell of moth balls is overpowering. It means the car is used for essential travel only. I’m told that it will be a few more weeks before the smell will dissipate. Thanks for following up. You are all so appreciated. Enjoy the new month, the mosquitos here are still on full attack, although wearing the protective netting has made a difference. Not taking pictures tho’ exposes the hands for too long, and gloves are…well.. let’s say… for now I’ll pass. Have a good day everyone!
Use things for what they are meant for. Everything has a purpose ,, Let’s use things to their fullest potential…
When we live with joy in our hearts, we enjoy contentment and live each day with a positive outlook.
Remember to say “thank YOU” today, and share your smile.. it is beautiful.
