With the start of the new year, I was cleaning out files, and found this advert for when I was working with a product called Powertex, and giving demos .. so other “artists” could learn about the product. These were garden sculptures I had done over time to demonstrate its capabilities. The one piece lasted outside in our Canadian winters for over 10 years. (bottom right) In the end it was the center piece for climbing vines.

Change, the only constant in life.. is change.

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation

Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Dress warmly. enjoy your day!!

Powertex was a great product for me to work with, I used it with Paverpol, (face upper left corner) I lean towards mix media expressions.

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)

We are experiencing a deep freeze here.. there will be several days with minus degree weather, there is a lot of hope that this year the longest skating ring (Rideau Canal) will be operational. Warnings are going out tho’….. Please stay off the ice till the barriers are removed. Crews are still working on the ice…. should be an exciting Ice Sculpture contest this year!!!

Stay warm and safe… this is cold/flu season … if you are not feeling well, stay home.. with the dipping temperatures, and humidity… the bacteria/virus’s will have a field day! Time to bring out the down … and put the kettle on for ginger tea..!

Good relationships begin by greeting each other.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

The dragon is stirring.. he’s beginning to wake. Won’t be long now before his roar is heard all across the galaxy… slowly his body will slither with a purpose .. he’ll be heading your way… carrying a cornucopia of wishes from the heavens…. to sprinkle star dust particles of happiness, glad tidings, good health and prosperity over all the land.

TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN

My thought as I drifted off to sleep –

Solitude offers stillness of one’s own being.

The joy of/in simple pleasures

Happy week-end everyone.

A visit to the Sahara, Marrakech and a peek at Chefchaouen

With the white world around us at the moment, those wishing for a white Xmas this year, got their wish. And, with the deep freeze we had for a couple of days there is hope that the longest skating rink in the world will open this year. So saying, when these pictures came in from one of our “world” travellers.. I wanted to share.. the picture lower left … had me wondering why a carpet is rolled up against the outer door? Could it be there for prayers… I have other pictures to share of the blue doors found in that part of Africa… watch for them. Isn’t the brave little flower delightful. Hope you are all having a wonderful end of the year…

*** If you face a situation head on, a Path will open up ***

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. Make today, a memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

There was a picture I saw of our “traveller” riding a camel across the desert. it “almost” had me calling CAA for travel arrangements.. then I remembered, cold or extreme heat.. I like cool and cold. the memory of that time in Japan during one of their “heat waves” flashed across my gray matter… I’ll continue to be an arm chair traveller… cheers everyone! See you on Dan’s page,, he is on hiatus till Jan.9.25.. but have a look. https://nofacilities.com/2024/12/26/just-in-case-3/#comment-377595

Appreciate each person’s good points

Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in other so that we can get along.

Peace begins within… Live authentically

The key to solving problems is within you

The problems that appear before you can surely be solved. Give it your best effort, and the answers will come to you as long as you remain strong in your conviction that all will turn out well.

It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important.

Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.
