Found, in a search and find mission the other day. Was actually looking for paint. Thinking I got off the “track” somehow. There she was, patiently waiting to be discovered. It was the highlights in her hair and her make up that “hooked” me. Her eyes are still bright with a sparkle. She had been well loved, now she was discarded waiting for her new fate.
I can easily be distracted when I am in an interesting place. I learn about myself and life by being open to new possibilities. My husband as a reporter, was a great observer, we could be in the same place at the same time, but his sense of what was happening, and mine were often very different. The unique components of his personality and character blended and added to my own “self”.
It is interesting how often in the day, his presence in my life is felt. Never be afraid of love or of differences, in a relationship, they make us stronger. Love is unconditional, it is faith, trust, & so much more. The word respect is so important, in defining a strong relationship, whatever the relationship might be.
Is RESPECT in your life? “love”

A great many people think they are thinking, when they are actually rearranging their prejudices. William James
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.

My mind still talks to you
my heart still looks for you
My soul knows you are at peace
I thank God for having had you
but I still miss you so much!

PL calendar day 11 – Remember to be thankful and humble. Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls Khalil Gibran

When you are not having fun, could it be because you re being lazy? Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.
If sadness and lack of hope knock I your heart – try to do something positive for someone else.

Day 8 of the PL calendar
First accept Everything
Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
Bom dia!! Greetings on another bright sunny morning. Mid week already, where doe the time go.
It was fantastic day yesterday to travel the roads, the trees along the highway are starting to bud, I could feel the anticipation in every direction. The water levels were still very high as we approached the West Island (heading into Montreal). We observed that the water was still half way up the trees that would usually be above the water line on dry land.
Please take time to remember that tho’ the weather is currently dry, there are thousands who have suffered severe water damage over the last weeks, and need our prayers. Not just a few, but many people have lost year of memories and accumulated treasures, and are finding themselves in a place of sadness with weeks and months of rebuilding and hard work just to regain a sense of “normal”

Another Brazilian member Kaiser Lette Bueno added his voice to the song. “Andei, Andei E encontrei Oshieoya Sama, Oshieoya Sama.
Com Quem Contar has to be the most joyful song, I love it. In English the title is Who to Trust.
