Hula Hamster JOY

hula hamster xy This precious handmade hamster, makes my heart sing. She puts a smile in my heart just by sitting there smiling back at me.

hula hamster x The last few days have been difficult for me. I have found myself drifting into a state of “low drive and little interest ” When I could I retreated to my bed, the quiet of a darkened room and the desire to sleep. My sleep mates were only too happy to crawl under cover and enjoy time out from the weather that was raging outside.

Today I had to go out, there were errands that needed doing, so after a lazy start to the day, I took myself off to do what needed doing. When I arrived at the church I was surprised with JOY, the adorable Hula Hamster. Oh what a gift. I melted and was totally taken in by her charm.

Loving caring friendships are priceless. JOY lifted me out of the shadows , back into the sunshine. Olinda weaved a magic spell, I am blown away. Thank you. I am reminded that in life, in a split second, the sun can break through the clouds, and all is right again.

hula hamster joy I am so blessed. The Universe always comes through for me, when I allow myself to stumble, my friends are there reminding me, that LOVE, is always with me. God is Love, Love is GOD and we are all ONE

Hula Hamster is handmade and I love her.

snow day

It has been snowing now, all day. At least it appears to have been snowing since early this morning, it could have even snowed over night.

Temperature has been nice. The few times I went outside to let the dogs in or out, I found it to be very pleasant.

“we can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses ” Abraham Lincoln

The dogs have pointed me to a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson ” Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”. This is the back yard, their trails have all gone missing…

Some how I do believe they are hinting. Will the human take the hint? One of life’s mysteries.

hmmmm choices, choices.. Till next visit.. hope your day has been simply GRAND.

Finding a balance between past and the present. – Find a good balance between your present and past experiences.

Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcoming in others.

and today’s thought.. PL. day 23rd. Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job. If you accept a task, made the choice, took the option, whatever, own it.

In PL we believe that when things happen to us, always there is a meaning, or a reason, our actions, behaviours brought us to the/that moment.

buddha waits 2 We are not cast in stone, we are not without feelings, nor are we unaffected by the world around us. Change is the only constant in life, each day, each day, brings a new NOW.

Oyashikiri

Bom dia everyone, here we are mid-week, how joyful is that. Happy Wednesday ! Share a smile it is your gift to the world

” Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing ” Mother Teresa

A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping stone to the optimist – Eleanor Roosevelt

PL calendar day 20

Find a good balance between your present and past experiences. Without forgetting your original intent, continue to develop your own path by also relying on your knowledge and experience.

I came home today to find a beautiful floral piece with miniature fairy lights. The lights twinkle and dance merrily in their space. The display is magical. Even on the grayest of days, they will be an inspiration. =^_^=

flashback 2006

back yard a2006 The last few days, maybe even weeks, I have found myself thinking of a different time and what was. How a young garden, took shape, and grew till it no longer resembled what was.

back yard 2006

Life mirrors nature, the link between the two has been established since way before I was born. I am only now pulling the fragments of the past into what I have been living and what is to come. I can feel the stirring of new beginnings, I know that I am already well into discovery mode.

Today, day 15 of the PL Calendar – Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best”

Everything in this world progresses an develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best.

Yesterday I drove to Montreal, the day was bright, balmy and welcoming. Each mile was a new beginning. Even though I have travelled this route many times, it was like a first visit. The landscape along the way, simply would not be still. The shades of late autumn strutted their charms against the blankets of pristine snow. I felt their happy waves, and delighted in the variety of picture postcards they flashed my eager eyes as I drove by. Mother Nature, stayed with me all the way, the best tour guide ever.

2006a Life is a blessing, I am filled with appreciation and gratitude. Thank you all for sharing my world, Life is love, and love is YOU and the world we are in.

void or

gimme bling

A black void. As an artist, I had a moment the other day, where I wanted to express that very moment, not think about anything but saying, Blah. Snap, and so what. Followed by many exclamation marks.

My eyes searched my workroom… till they fell on a big bottle of black glue. Ah Ha! I took an old canvas and began to just vent with the glue on the canvas. It was black and shiny that I dug out a bottle of cut glass pieces I had for dear knows what reason… and some gold cording. Then gave way to.. come what may.

Voila… t’is a black void. my sometime co-pilot, when she saw it, said it looked like “inside a sparkling cave filled with shiny somethings. enchanting” =^_^= I have been blessed with wonderful kind friends.

In the sunlight or under a light, it is true it has bling. Bling that winks and shines in a very cheerful way. This is an example of, starting out with a blank – need to just vent/express…. letting go, and then seeing the results.

PL Calendar day 9 (2019) It’s interesting because it’s different

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “This is the way it has to be” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

waiting

1st day 12.14.18_036

Waiting for 2018 to end. What a year it has been, Major changes, a much loved story book romance, came to an end. Lost in thought last night, I wandered through the open doors of the memory vault. Each new day, brings me further away, from the day last May when I was left behind at the runway, my time not yet come to fly.

What will the new year bring, one will never know till the time comes. Meanwhile, the clock ticks a steady beat..counting down to what…

Chinese New Year is at the start of February this year. We will enter the year of the Pig. Tonight in my part of the world, we will slide into 2019, a little over twelve hours from now. If I didn’t know the time would it make a difference. Not really, my life would still be in change mode, and after a good sleep, I will wake to begin yet another day of adventure and exploration.

Your world will change when you look at things in a positive light

Everything you encounter is an opportunity for you to express yourself. What you choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you.

Wednesday

It was a beautiful day for reflection yesterday.

Day 26 of the PL Calendar

Maintain a positive attitude and wisdom will come to you.

Worrying will prevent you from having good ideas. Stay positive and you will find a solution.

possibilities

Is there an inconsistency here? Is something out-of-place? Are the visuals harmonizing?

This is a visual post. For sure, when I selected today’s visual, I FOUND for me the collection lacked congruency, Can you see it? Let us have some fun.

Day 20 PL Calendar – You are YOU others are Others.

You have your own way of doing things, and others have their way of doing thing. Don’t worry about what other people will say. Simply take care of the task at hand.

PL Precept 4 Being annoyed limits your expression

We are all blessed with an ability to see life in our own way, to take positives and use them to cope with the possible challenges/opportunities that come our way. Make today special, share a smile. It is yours to give.

Maravilhos quinta-feira a todos! Have a wonderful day!
