RIP Helen Reddy, she cowrote I am Woman with Ray Burton. Inspired by her involvement in the women’s movement, the song gained popularity climbing the charts, she was the first Australia singer to hit number 1 in the US and earned her a Grammy for Female Pop Vocal Performance.
We also said goodbye today to Mac Davis, American singer-songwriter, who was from Lubbock Texas. Mac was known for his easy laid back songs, he also wrote for Elvis Presley (In the ghetto)… https://youtu.be/Ll8BBZCNoqk
some music/songs, the creativity and interpretation of life will never fade.
It has been a long time since I’ve been able to just sit and allow myself the lazy pleasure of watching the tides roll in. it is a blessing to be busy, but TIME OUT yesterday was A M A Z I N G ..
It is a blessing to be busy, Enjoy being busy and continue to seek more work. Being busy is God’s way of showing you that you are loved.
It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important. Say what is on your mind, clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.

Shadows play a very important part in our lives.There is always a shadow to be seen lingering, =^_^=
Not all plants are exotic beauties, or graceful ballerinas….Some simply grow happily in the sunshine, drinking up the rain, and enjoying life because it is such a joy to do so. They provide diversity for all the woodland creatures, and to those of us who visit, they are there to welcome us as we arrive, and bid us adieu as we leave.
Open up Opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the foot. Use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way.

When you think “I’ve got it” think again, It is so easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.
Wild Sumac growing plentifully in a nearby green space.
Sumac is a beautiful plant, I tried to grow it once, it is hardy in our area, however it is also very aggressive. I thought it would be nice in an area of the property, but soon had to start digging it out. It grew and grew and grew.. all over… Everywhere!
In other areas of the world Sumac is cultivated and used as a herb, spice, tea, it is considered to have many health benefits as well. From my past experience with it.. I now enjoy it when I go on walks, or come across it in my travels while hiking.. The desire to have it in my personal space, has long gone.
My experience with the Sumac is much like some of my other “encounters/experiences” while progressing along on this road of “life” Some experiences I explored and moved on.. and others I have retained in my “memory bank” and bring out from time to time to reflect on how the experience enriched my life.
Begin your day with appreciation. Welcome each new day with renewed appreciation, and step forward with a feeling of World Peace in your heart.

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way.
Treasure each moment in time. Life is a continuation of “NOW” Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

I stood on an old solid wood bridge that spanned this little gurgling waterway.
One direction led past the old homestead, and the other, wandered down into the countryside.
In the moment of my being there, I got to experience both sides, of the ONE body of water as it moved along.. gurgling happily as it tripped over the rocks and valleys of its bed.
Each moment of our lives, we too are captured by the Universe in our daily execution of our daily “living”.
Be thankful to your parents and to your ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. always remember to be thankful.

I absolutely love the creativity I find in SL (Second Life) This is someone’s build that is currently on view for people to explore and appreciate. If you are in the SL community, this is the url to explore “The Mist” http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Mist/163/133/22 Please note this is an Adult sim. In the land of darkness and the time of demons reign, there was a Kingdom called The White Winged.That was the name of the mist land, Come Explore The Story And Meet The Land’s Heros,
like a moth to a flame
the hypnotic atmosphere, captured my senses
When you visit, you can set your environment settings to whatever “resonates” with you. I did not have a lot of time to explore… I made the most of the time I had, capturing the various builds that caught my “eye”.
In life we can be many things. The beauty of SL is that it allows our creativity to be expressed in endless ways. You many not participate in the wonders of virtual platforms, but you still have the opportunity in life to express yourself. When we give voice to the wonders within our “minds” we allow growth. We encourage new thoughts, and make way for new discoveries.
Express yourself today. Share your smile, your knowledge and your visions.

In PL Life is Art…… We excel and grow when we live the PL WAY.
Good morning, did you actually watch the video. My Mother was hooked on old movies, especially the ones with song and dance numbers.
My friends I love them all. Each one of t hem has a different “musical” bent, and personally I love them all. (not at the same time =^_^= .. But I do enjoy the many different “vibes”.
I never did get to line dance, but I have friends that are crazy crazy for the activity. I’ve been going back over some of my favourite tunes, and realize that i do enjoy the foot tapping songs. They are happy and put me in a good mood. Can’t help but get up and boogie or sit in my chair and do some “chair stomping”
Hopefully one of the above clips will have you wanting to get up and move. These past months, weeks and days, so many of us are not get getting out and moving around like we used to. We do need to move, and we need to drink a lot of water. Two things so easy to do, but.. for some reason, we don’t get to follow through on our good intentions.
Embracing the moment, is important now more than ever. We are all in this together. These times of “unknowns”… we need to be supportive of each other. Listen carefully to our friends, and do our best to understand, what their “moments” are really like.
This next song is just because, I really love listening to it.. =^_^=
Thank you all for spending this time with me… I hope one of the tunes, gave you a moment of pleasure. Music is a form a “therapy”.. dancing is “therapy”…. give yourself some pleasure today, you deserve it. Make your own”music”. move in a way that embraces all the love and joys you could ever want. Create your own “NOW”
Don’t allow anyone or anything put you in a box or on a shelf. Life is for living.

Together we will light up the world!!!
Believe in LOVE… if you skip all the others, listen to this last one…
I’m having flash backs and feeling fractured.. Ever get that way? Your parts are all together, at least most of them are.. but somehow, your assembly isn’t sitting well on your frame.
These are pictures taken from my files..Sometimes pictures say more than words. This way the viewer gets to attribute their own “storyline” to what they see.
Back when Chinese food was being introduced to the North American palette, cooks used whatever vegetables that they could find that were fresh and in season. Seldom will you find Chop Suey made the same way from one restaurant to another, never mind one county or geographical area to another.
This moment will pass. they always do. What did I saw the other day, Learning is a lifelong process. =^_^=
Remember that learning is a lifelong process. No matter your age, there is something to be learned and there is always room for improvement. always remember that there is wisdom to be gained from any situation.
