Good Relationships begin by greeting each other. Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighborhood.

Be aware of the joys in life. Feel each moment, let the moment carry you away. Fear not the unknown, believe in your heart that each moment is a blessing. Trust, believe, have faith..the Universe is a wonderful place.
Emotions, a vast array of feelings, that come and go endlessly in the various corners of our minds. Some are overwhelming, some very specific, and others, specific to a moment in time, place or person .. a memory, a silent tear, the warmth of a smile, a love shared.
Today with social distancing, many are experiencing a tremendous overload of emotions that come unsuspectingly to the forefront of our days/nights. Not so easy now to just push aside by picking a distraction to occupy the mind till the moment passes.

The other day I had parked the car.. gotten out.. wanted to stretch my legs. People are not out and about. I had the empty road pretty much to myself. I was enjoying the moment when I was pulled from my daydreaming by the sound of birds on a mission.
There was no stopping them, they had clear blue skies, the temperature was mild and filled with a promise of a new season.. Babe they were flying high, and loving it. I realized how lucky I was to be out there in the fresh air,the warm sun lazily teasing me out of my jacket… Living life is a beautiful awesome feeling. Do not squander your days/nights…
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.
The potential is always there. Always. Everything has a purpose. maybe now, with a different pace in our lives, we will have time to reflect on the new opportunities, challenges, and possibilities that have been perhaps present, but not necessarily appreciated as they could have been.
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding”
Kahlil Gibran
No human relation gives one possession in another – every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
Kahlil Gibran
Use things for what they are meant for. everything has a purpose. Let’s use things to their fullest potential.
Last night I was inspired to try out a new product called modeling foam, Mousse a Modeler.. by ArtMinds Rather interesting results. It is still drying. It will be interesting to see it in the morning.
remnants of the pastno matter how magnificent in their timesometimes, it takes a lot of hard work and dedicationto restore and begin again what was…. will never be what it was before it may look the same, but it has undergone so many changes, it can be deceiving, it is now, functioning and performing in NOW
Enjoy the changes in your life. Things around you are constantly changing with the ties. Take on the challenging and new experiences as materials for self expression.

Use any results, good or bad, as a stepping stone. All outcomes, whether positive or negative, are important experiences. Let’s use them wisely for our future progress
Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others When you put your whole heart into things you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more.
Sometimes the mind travels through space. Stopping in places you had forgotten you knew. Nothing unpleasant, just moments of fog being replaced with brilliant blue skies. Took one of my “free” drives today, no place special, no where to be, just the need to drive. Picked up a willing co-pilot, and off we went.
Driving towards the Quebec border, on a secondary highway, it was pouring rain, overcast skies, with only periods of lighter rain, When the rain slowed down, the sky would get somewhat brighter and the wet bark of the trees could be seen glistening, giving us sculptures reaching for the heavens.
Just past Hawksbury, we turned the car around and headed west, back towards the city. Suddenly the rain stopped, and the skies began to clear. The transformation was startling vivid. Baby blue skies, fluffy white clouds, it became a totally different day.
2 days in one. Interesting. The winds picked up.. it seems that I got home before the mega winds. I can hear them now.. hard and violent against the house.
It was a range of weather today… like emotions, the weather can be calm, restless, volatile, warm and welcoming, or like today… a roller coaster of some of everything.
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.
