lost day

Where did the 18th go? I looked down to record my sugar levels and found that I had already entered the 19th. Checking my screen, no, today was the 19th. not was, IS… stumble stumble grumble.

However I know better than to let this little blimp start my day off in a direction I do not want to take, so I took my pen and made a messy line and began again. This is something in my younger years I would not have done, I would have torn out the page and rewritten it all so that it was tidy and neat. Isn’t being another year wiser great! What is a messy page when I am the only one to see it, and I am busy lady preparing for a fun filled day.

This is THURSDAY DOORS and I have the door I want to share with you. It was given to me by a friend who just returned from a trip, she saw it, and said “dymoon”… =^_^= I wonder do friends relate doors to me because I sometimes show my hard head….oh what the heck, rofl is that how it is said these days.. Rolling on floor laughing. You know when you pass the mid century mark, you can be a little slower at catching on.

Here is my attempt at showing you this door, it is pewter, and it opens, I am wondering if it will go with the pewter door I showed you earlier that was a brooch.

To the doll club members, this witch is not finished yet.. and no, the little door will not be part of her outfit. Just saying.

PL calendar day 19 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.

Happy day everyone.

rust you say!

Nay it is art…

IMG_20190831_112725_resized_20190901_123149043

under the majesty of the sky

the temperament of the clouds

the treasure lay,

surrounded by a crowd of flowers

lush and green waving in the breeze

cheerfully saying hello to passersby

oh… for a closer look

checking mirrors back and front,

I pulled over to seek my treasure out

IMG_20190831_112744_resized_20190901_123148650

not gems that gleam in the sun

but a sturdy piece of artwork

that has been lovingly blessed each day

by natures wonderful expressions

(most call it weather)

set in concrete for all to see,

this piece of art has grown lovelier with each passing season

I can’t say for sure, but I would guess

that not many are struck by its beauty

or come to admire, yet pass it each day

such is life, in French there is a saying

“to each his/her own”

You see rust, you say! Lad show me the way!

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.

lessons – PEACE

lakeshore nick

Growing up, I remember my Mother collecting the tools she would need when she retired.  She was determined she would weave.  She also sewed, growing up in the early years before Father passed away, Mother made our clothes, pretty dresses, frocks with smocking, we were little charmers.

Upstairs she stowed her treasures, materials for sewing, wool for knitting, and the materials she would weave with.  We had boxes and boxes stored for that time when she would retire and spend her time lazily doing the things she loved.  Did I tell you she painted too.   Was a creative lady my Mother was.

When she finally did retire from her years in a Government office, away from her officer, desk and responsibilities there, guess what, she dove into her volunteering with a non profit group managing their business affairs.  She was part of a group of ladies who felt more needed to be done for seniors on low income,  They did what needed doing to have an apartment built to meet their goals.

Mother managed the building, did all that needed doing to keep it afloat. Went to meetings, volunteered with other groups, for other needs she felt were not being fully addressed.  Drove seniors for appointments, opened a tuck shop in the building she and the others in her group had now enlarged on ….She was part of Meals on Wheels.

All this to say, she never did her weaving, her sewing interested faded away, She did knit and crochet at night while she rested in front of the telly, but that was for babies in the home for unwed Mothers, blankets for the hospitals, you name it.. Mother had her hand in it.  If it was to help others, she was there with a helping hand.

She outlived most of her friends, (close ones) and others who she had know  over the years, were now, like her, too frail, age had slowed them all down.

We all do our best to live each day as best we can. If my Mother had any regrets, she never spoke of them.  My Mother and her friends were of a generation that grow up with World wars 1 and 2, they knew about scrimping, saving, and making do.  They also knew how fragile a life can be.

PL calendar day 31    Someone who is mentally prepared is strong.

Even when things look grim, if you take on the situation with determination, you will be able to make a fresh start with a positive outlook.

World peace is essential if we are to give hope to the next generation.  Love, caring, and understanding, begin within ourSelves.

a moment please

IMG_20190823_110400_BURST001_COVER_resized_20190824_072043578

Another moment please, the window down, camera ready, I smiled and captured the lovely flowers that I had seen the other day.  I was happy to see they were still open and waving merrily in the early morning breeze.  It was meant to be, the car in front of me, was ordering yet another order.  Sometimes the Universe has you in the right place, at the exact time, that you were meant to be.

Here is wishing you a grand start to a brand new week.

PL Precept # 1  – Life is Art…

contentment

leon aug 16

A day at the beach with your favourite people.  Then a sound sleep at the end of the sofa while your human takes a nap.

In PL we learn to appreciate life, not only humans in the world with us, all living beings, and  the material objects that make our lives more comfortable.  Appreciation, respect  are the natural fibres of/in our lives that bring contentment.

PL Principle #3  I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

Happy Saturday, may it be a productive one for you.

spaces

Spaces, there is always a place, just right for meditation

find a space, where you can sit, reflect and contemplate,

BE your own best friend, LOVE will never end.

The Universe is everywhere,

there is no where you can BE without being part of the Universe

.. find a place, …. meditate

start today, make time for YOU every day.

Thursday doors

A hot dry day, finally with Piglet with me in the car, I could park, and walk in off the road to take pictures.  This little treasure had caught my eye some time ago, but it was never a good time to park off to the side of the busy roadway, and walk over to where this little house is.

The lot is big enough and shows signs of having had two outdoor  “toilets” off to one side. There is also a bigger building, commercial from how it appears. but of course, I only had eyes for the two story charmer.  The top has been removed from the ground floor, and placed as you see them.  The small doorway is between the building, and has lost its door.

Someone at some time, had, intentions for this little “cottage”  It would have been bright and welcoming inside with all those windows.  I was surprised that the  remains did not have a musty smell.  The wood was dry and still had the smell that wood gets when it has been baking in the sun.

Rust has been working on the metal for some time.  Building its many layers producing wonderful displays as only rust can.  It is not very everyone, but textured materials, remnants of another time, another life, for me are inspiring.

Hope you have enjoyed this little visit to a place  on an old road that once was the main  highway to the city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec.

PL Calendar day 1     Spread your love beyond your borders, out to the entire world.

Our world is overflowing with problems.  Let’s pray not only for those around us, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world.

reminder, service is at 7 pm this evening.

There isn’t any secret formula or method.  You learn by loving. Aldus Huxley

PL Calendar day 30    Lets’ listen to others until the end.

When you interrupt or interject your idea when someone else is talking, you will miss out on hearing the person’s true intentions.  Clear your mind and listen carefully until the end.
