Never miss an opportunity to let someone know you care – the day will come when that will no longer be possible.

I attended a “show” last night where there was music that had me bouncing in my seat,,. I watched the dancers, and began thinking of all the days/nights where dancing was a part of my life 7 days a week. It was years ago, and the memory is still vivid… yet… sadly … I live a life now where there is no nitely stage show, no performance to prepare for, no instruments being tuned, songs being rehearsed, an audience to be won over. Those days are long gone.
Memories. we all have them.
What I was reminded of .. was how important it is to keep “activity” in one’s life. Doesn’t have to be going to a gym, joining a class, or trying to keep up with the newest and latest trends. Simple stretches during the day, hand and finger exercises.. When we are younger, we seem to always be on the go. As we “age” /”mature” our life circumstances and obligations change, and slowly we glide into an “age” where there is less “activity”, more sitting, more drinking/eating and sometimes, less social interaction.
PL Precept # 19 Begin once you perceive
This morning I am pondering…. what it was about last night’s “ah ha” moment that has stuck in my craw. I think one thought is … I have to start listening to more of the music that gets me “moving” my body is “rusty” it needs “oiling” – moving the joints .. stretching the limbs.. swaying and balancing while in motion… when I left, just as I was leaving Una (the DJ) spun a song that had me wanting more…
Come on.. give it a try… do a chair dance, take a moment and listen.. turn up the music and just D A N C E

Happiness is found when we make time for discovering the world around us… away from busy hectic noises and frantic energy from negative activities and action.
When was the last time you took time to “stop and smell the roses”?

Bleak overcast, dull skies, off and on rain, eventually one has to say enough is enough. I find I’m not interested in the many dramas, cheating, killings, negative presentations on the telly. So I took to the internet and found myself a colourful landscape with little critters wandering around. Flowers in bloom everywhere.. little birds flying from branch to branch. Much more relaxing.
My avatar who worked this photo opportunity was happy to get her hair redone, new outfit to wear… all in all a productive few hours.
How about you, I’ve been catching up on my reading, I’m blessed with fabulous bloggers who live all over the world and share stories of life in their part of the Universe with colourful photos and brilliant writing. Due to my recent medical “issue” I’ve gotten way behind in my admin part of my “writing”… However, I have been reading and enjoying.. forgive my lack of immediate response.
Lately I have been totally captured by an Ai. artist who is producing and putting out Soul Blues .. he/she is all over FB and Instagram. I have mixed feelings about how fast Ai is appearing everywhere in my world. Just seems impossible to avoid it. I will leave a sample of his work at the end of this post.

Hello? What have we here? Anyone home?
Do you ever get that feeling, that you are not alone…
Yet you see no one close by, but still, there is that feeling of being “seen”
Good Morning, it’s Saturday…. Hopefully you have had a quiet productive and happy week. This is the week-end where our time changes, Reminder to change your clocks tonight if the time change applies to you.
Think “now is the time” instead of “its no use now.”
Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

In the forest deep – it is thought I sleep
but if honesty is the order of the day
then I must confess to always be at play
for I have been here so long and my roots run so deep
that while I look like I am standing still
every molecule of my being is alive and unafraid
of whatever mischief I can display,
For living is an art I have honed well
See if you can look away
when I deign to display
my perfect blending into the landscape today.
Oh and by the way
Life is art is PL Precept #1
wanna come play
you can be the sun, I will be the moon
together we will make it a perfect day.
