sabai sabai

thailand “Sabai sabai”

“A ubiquitous Thai phrase. it is a greeting, ” like hey man, be cool,” or “take it easy” In Thailand where the people and their customs, are gentle, and a smile is always the way to greet someone, hands in special position, like a prayer, with a slight low bow. It seemed like a fitting way to start my greeting to you today.

We have the sunshine today, however, temperatures are in the zero range. So imagining the sunshine in Thailand where the weather is “warmer”.. feels good.

I am reading a nook by David Casarett,M.D. = Murder at the house of Rooster Happiness = the main character is Ladarat Patalung, a nurse who is slowly adding detective to her “talents” It is a debut book, one gets to enjoy the sights and sounds of Thailand. How it ended up in my reading, I don’t remember. I actually didn’t think I would even be able to still my mind with all that is going on these days, but… wonder..of wonders, it is written in a way that I am drawn to know more about a country I know little about, and learning about customs, and traditions that are interesting. What a way to travel and enjoy a mystery at the same time.

Seeing life from the perspective of a Thai person, regarding time spent in the USA ..let’s just say.. it made me smile, a lot!!!!

Isn’t that what life is all about, finding moments and ways to bring heart-felt smiles into our daily lives. When we smile, we pass along our happiness.

africa elephant

The Elephant found in Thailand, is the one also found in India…. an elephant is an elephant to me, this is a picture I have in my inventory of an elephant, forgive me if there is a distinct difference.

I am feeling an elephant size load of happy today, and want to share it with you. Being happy is important.. even if it is a struggle to smile, curve those lips and take a nice deep breath.. say to yourself happy happy happy, sabai, sabai… and you will be blessed with a big inner smile.

Till next visit. sabai, sabai…

don’t hold anything back

Don’t Hold Anything Back

Give it Your All (PL Calendar day 16)

Always approach things with full enthusiasm and energy. Then things will develop in a new direction.

When I started my magic pony, I was not wanting, nor had I any thought of a pony I was working my water-colour paints in a way I would usually work my acrylics. The more I seemed to try to go in one direction, the more the paints pulled me in another. Finally I just stopped, stood back and stared at the page. That is when I took the picture I used yesterday. I could see this face looking at me, and it said “My Little Pony” What???? I remember seeing these pink ponies in the toy section of various shops. Of no interest to me. Nope, not into pink ponies.

OK, I decided to ignore it.. and leave it overnight. Hello.. next morning the face I saw was still there. Since I have learned over the years, that if I see something and it doesn’t go away, if I tried to obstruct or force another direction.. the results would be a disaster .. meaning I wouldn’t like it, and it would be a “garbage” page.

We learn from our mistakes. If I was to give it my all, then I needed to follow my instinct, so what if it didn’t pan out, it wasn’t going to anyway. So.. I played with it till the words/feeling was to “stop” Now I’ve put it aside, and we will see if I am called back to it or not. Meanwhile I have my “magic” or “fantasy” pony.

Life is. The little face makes me smile. Go figure.

Friday the 16th. Live it to the fullest. Make it count.

PL calendar day 13

There will always be a way

As long as you re serious, there is no reason for you to give up. Move forward one step at a time and things will always turn out for the best.

This sculpture gave me such a sense of “fun and freedom” when I saw it. I have had it in my picture library for some time, and do not recall where I got it. If anyone is aware of the artist, please let me know.

What a

What a difference a day makes.

zen tangle mini 3.4.18

I used to suggest to clients that keeping a journal, even if it was sentence, or a word to express how they/you felt at that moment, or about the day. Not everyone likes to write, or wants more words.

Since in PL, (Perfect Liberty) we say, “Life is art” (Precept #1) I began to suggest if not a word, a sketch, or picture, something doodled. It doesn’t really matter, no one will see or read what is written, unless you share. It is for YOU from YOU.

zen tangle mini 3.6.18

At the time, it seems insignificant, but that simple “action” leads to appreciation and gratitude. As the days progress (nights) something beautiful starts to happen, you see what “was” in such a different light. No two days are the same. Never. Moments cannot be relived.

zen tangle mini 3.7.18

Even if I end up adding only one bit of shading or colour tonight, this little card will have another dimension. AND yes, even if I don’t get to do anything with the card, today, tomorrow or the day after, I will SEE the card differently with each passing day.

A”story” of my own making….. Happy sunshine, and many creative opportunities be afforded you today. If it is evening when you read this, may you be blessed with a contentment of peace in your sleep.

Oyashikiri

note> it is amazing how we have time to try to unravel the world and things that are totally out of our control, yet we can’t make time, for our”SELVES” we resist.

Wednesday

zen tangle mini 3.4.18 When we begin, there is only one line, by the time we have done, we are looking at what these days is called a Zentangle.

I take my time, and use no end in mind, nor do I try to contemplate design, or a theme. It is relaxation for me, so I simply allow myself to doodle.

zen tangle mini 3.6.18

Last night I began to colour in the various spaces. Leaning towards greens, I don’t try for perfection, and I don’t really try to stay within the lines. I will be interested in seeing IF I finish this “expression”, or will I let it lie on my desk, forgotten, waiting for me to “catch” the “mood” again. If and when it is finished, will it look anything like it started out. That is the beauty of these doodles. They allow, the mind to wander, and the hands to stray.

Mid week already. Hope you have all had a good start to the week, and that today, will be a “stunner” I challenged myself to do something creative every day. Sunday I tried my hand at Origami

origami 3.4.18 Hey, they aren’t perfect, but trying to learn something new and doing something creative every day, for me is relaxing, and by jim-minie I can do with the R & R

Blessings everyone! Let your light shine through in all you do!

Enthusiasm

Africa - capetown harbour - seal

Good morning…

Looking at the Harbour Seal, I think… “yea.. that must be nice, a lazy afternoon, baking in the sun.” Then the little voice in my head blurts out the reality, that I don’t know how to just laze around and snooze or “day-dream”

My reality is that I love being on the go and active. I thrive with multiple tasks to get done, and my sense of accomplishment at the end of the day and reward, is knowing that come early to mid evening, I can settle down to some “internet” time. Quality time with Hubby, and then I like that “melting into sleep” that takes place.

Today’s calendar reads “Enthusiasm will make things Interesting…”

“When you put your whole heart into what you are doing, you will begin to notice many important details and your creativity will blossom.”

This is so important, I love what I do, and I love the experiences that I live. Yes I make mistakes, and yes, I have done some head slappers.. I wonder, what!!! why!!! and how!!! did I let that happen, or “where” was my head. That is a wake up.. and realization that it is time to stop and recall my lessons from the past, and work at not repeating them.

Enthusiasm… what a wonderful state of “being”… Be ENTHUSED today. Make it count.
