Back road to simplicity and charm. Best of all… no snow.
I remember many years back, living in BC, we took a trip into the mountains… my husband at the time was an avid outdoors person. He had booked a rustic weekend,, the overnight was in a log cabin such as the one shown above, only it was in some remote location and totally a surprise to me… we required our own linen, the stove to cook on was wood, and the loo was a walk into the woods to an outhouse. Those of you who have known me for a long time .. know what my reaction would have been. The activity of the day, was fishing on a crystal clear lake from a row boat. the dog loved it.
Live today filled with enthusiasm
Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Time and our past make up the pieces of who we are today. Today I would rejoice at reliving that moment in time. I squandered that opportunity,

.. when body, & mind move in time to music … a spell is cast.. there is nothing but the freedom of expression and the music ..you are transported into space without boundaries.
The turning point is now.
Life is a sequence of moments called now, You have the key to turn yourself around.
Instrumentals enable you to create a moment that is uniquely YOURS

It is cold and the snow is deep. Hard to sleep when the world around you is in a deep freeze. The finding of a peanut makes the day in a big way.
Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

Many of you know that I work and create in a virtual world called Second Life. Applying myself to learning how to work with the new software that is used by creators is something that both frustrates me and leaves me feeling a sense of accomplishment when I can achieve something as simple as learning how to build a male shape and what is involved .. the bodies and the huds are so different from that of the female avatars.
Benz one of my male avatars that I’ve used in my digital photography was due for a serious update. One of the “wow” factors was when dressing him, the creators of this avatar line, have it so that when I change his clothes, if I have had to alpha out parts of his body so the clothes (from another designer) fit properly.. when I undress him, his body magically reappears, This does not happen with the technology used by the creator of the female body I use. This was a fun surprise for me… all in all the hours spent learning a new skill is rewarding.
He went from looking like this… last year… to the picture on the right. this is a work in progress.. but I sure am chuffed. Look for Benz to make appearances in the near future. Who is that with Benz, that is Q, she is the original avatar from when I first began in SL in 2007… she has undergone many transformation… She has firmly told me.. she is retired.

Take on any task with earnest enthusiasm and it will become interesting.
No matter what it is, if you really get into it, you will be able to find joy in doing it. The important point is to put your whole heart into what you are doing.

the 13th.
Snow..lots of it… you won’t melt, get out and enjoy it. The snow falling is light and fluffy, there is breeze that blows the feathery snow around.. kind of magical. It had to have been a steady downfall, it is the first time that I’ve had to sweep out the snow from the feeders with a little brush. Swept it off the domes too.
The snow started falling in the evening and we’re told it will continue till late afternoon. A really fun day to be on the slopes or snow shoeing across open fields. An afternoon by a cozy fire, the flames snapping and crackling creating an ambient sound that is relaxing…a lazy stay at home day… your choice.
Ohhhhh sooo happy, the plow just did a first pass on my laneway… Whoooo hoooo, that means I’ll be able to get out..
We are all wonderful in our own way
Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious.
Ok everyone, now I can get going,,, heading out… have a great day …

LOL.. still will have to shovel the snow from the garage door, the plow can only get so close.
If the snow is falling in your area.. be careful, stay safe.
do u know?
Some furry scampered across the freshly fallen carpet of snow. Any ideas?
Make today, a “give back day!” Kindness to others , is the best way to give back.. Express your appreciation, smile, make eye contact when you see a friend. When you say, “how are you” wait, listen for the reply.
Don’t be capture by momentary troubles but continue doing everything with sincerity.(Makoto)

Hearts and Flowers month. Will you or do you do anything special for the day? It seems that every year there is a lot of commercial activity, but I see less and less of the actual acknowledgement of the occasion in the “world” around me. In school, I remember having a dedicated activity where we made hand made valentines to take home for our parents. On the day itself, we could bring in cards and circulate them to our classmates. Somehow … I don’t think this happen anymore? Input anyone?
I’m not hearing so much about love these days, I am hearing about football. I understand the Eagles are going to soar! (the final game of the 2024 season will be played this Sunday )
Start by thinking “lets do it!” Once you decide to do something and put your whole heart into it, things will start moving forward. (PL2022.8)
Whatever you are doing today- remember approach everything with the firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best!”

Think “now is the time” Instead of “it’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

How can human beings who claim to be caring loving beings, hunt and harass a beautiful living creature just trying to live his/her life. For the sake of a picture and ???
