Value those who are nearest to you
It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

Did you see that snow out there! It was all clear now for days, and …. now there is a ton of snow out there…?? .The forecast for the start of the week is back up in the double digits temperature with lots of rain!
Back to chilling ….we’ll survey from the windows thank you! How about you? You going to have a whirlwind week-end?
Remember how you felt in the beginning
Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get s tuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh.

I have saved this picture for years and years. I fell in love with this face the first time it showed up in my life. I searched out the kind of fleece, how it would felt, In those days I was sculpturing dolls/figures and wanted the fleece/roving to do hair. (Needle felting) To this day when I find the picture it makes me smile.
Please share a smile today…

Sunbathing is an activity that Quin likes to take in when the sun comes streaming through the window. It also allows her to monitor her patient (me) who is still lingering under the covers with a miserable cold. Her brother is more hands on, he likes to be right by my head, I guess its to make sure I’m still breathing. I’m too tired to even be grumpy about it.
Express yourself freely within the rules
We are able to experience the joy of being creative because we have the framework of laws, morals and rules to follow.
Live freely and vivaciously within these rules.

a few more days and we are into a March!!!








I sent one of my gals on assignment yesterday, show us how many ways our readers can stop, sit, relax for a moment.. She travelled to a retreat… found a comfortable chair and … here are some examples of taking an “adult, TIME OUT” you can’t hear it but there is a water fall in the courtyard… it was very picturesque but you can sit anywhere, at any time… You just have to make the time, to STOP for a moment, and SIT …
I know it is hard.. every time I open one of my devices I find some kind of ad/commercial/video about how to get better, feel better, and how their product will be a miracle cure like no other.. All you have to do is send them your information and buy their product. This Time Out is free…it is all Y O U.
Ok you can do that if that is what pleases you.. but you can also try … listening to your body/mind…and you can’t properly listen if you are constantly on the go… or interacting with whatever noise is coming at you. BUT Y O U CAN…. stop for 5 minutes… and just sit down somewhere, close your eyes, and listen to nothing in particular.. maybe count your breath, in and out…
I recommend, you close your eyes, take a deep breath in… and tilt your head back, and just let it out with a huge big sigh… and feel how your body responds… as you exhale your shoulders actually crop slightly.. and wow it didn’t hurt at all, it wasn’t hard to do… you survived.. Try it for a few more minutes… I know you can do it… don’t be shy, let the sigh be audible if you like… its YOUR moment… After that hard workout… you can treat yourself to another quiet moment, maybe sip on a coffee, drink some organic tea… after all you took a TIME OUT… you deserve a reward… smile…
The best part is you can do it several times a day if you want… if its too hard, try it three for times a week… see if it helps…you can work up to doing it daily… Putting yourSELF first can at times be challenging .. but. you are worth it !!!
This is a cold hard fact…. no one but YOU can make changes in YOUR life, Things happen that we can’t control, but WE can control how we deal with/accept… the opportunities that come our way.

Happy Hearts and Flowers day….
Come sit by my side the little bear whispered
So I’m not alone on this special day…
Will you come play with me…
Even if it is just for a little while…
Knowing you care will make me smile…
I’m cute cuddly and love to make new friends
I know you and I can be friends, cuz you have a loving heart
how can I tell… why… because when you saw me, you smiled…
and I felt my heart flutter, our friendship can grow beyond today
I just know it can… why, because I am me, and you are you…
Happy Valentine’s day…thank you for coming to visit me today.

In PL .. Precept #10 love yourself and others.
Share your smile today… it is priceless….
February is said to be heart month. Valentine’s day is the 14th. Will you remember to say Thank you! will you tell someone how much you appreciate them… as a friend, a family member, even a passing stranger? On the radio I heard an old time radio program.. where the husband forgot to get his wife a valentine and of course the whole show was about how he redeemed himself. It was a comedy, never-the-less… it is a shame that we have to put aside one day a year to tell a loved one/friend that we care and appreciate them.
WE are blessed in life with friends, people around us who care, maybe not in the way you would like them to care, but they do care…
Open up opportunities by being proactive
Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. Use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way.
