Contentment, is when you feel a peace that is filled with joy, happiness and a bliss that is beyond words … it can last a moment … it can be a second of awareness … … … when it visits … … you know the experience is to savor.

OK I resisted putting in a winter theme picture, but last night… I have no idea why, a song came up in my head, we have all been there, and nothing would do but I find the song and listen to it properly. Did I find it yes and no. I found all kind of versions, but the one I was hunting for. I did find this one, https://youtu.be/5Aa_9ruWPnA?si=7wTQRxR1f7fMU6BC … it was the sax part that I wanted to hear… Anyway, I searched for a good hour or more, in the end I did find a version I remembered but by then I was too tired and had missed my falling asleep moment. Not everyday/night is a perfect.. pleasant dreams night … where you wake up all sunshine bright next morning.
I should have had my scallop snack, they provide serotonin and magnesium .. my cooking pals out there.. I’ve become a scallop fiend I want them 3, 4 times a week, LOL Gail rolling your eyes… I simply rinse them. drop them in a pot of boiling soup stock, drain them .. cool them and pop them like popcorn. (the wee ones) the bigger ones I sear ..in butter and garlic. No.. I know, there is no hope for me.
Be grateful for everything.. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who reached out and wished me a happy birthday. That is a huge positive in one’s journey when we are blessed with the kindness and thoughtfulness of others. Special hugs to you, filled with appreciation and gratitude.
Got up .. too bad, so sad, no more place… guess it must be time to get up, Bed Pals .. or maybe today they are Bed Hogs. Whippets doing what they do best. Velcro on the right is 16 years old, Keeper is 11 give or take a day ….Usually wonderful companions.. and stay on their own side … but… this morning for some reason, they wanted more space, They are both watching to see what my intentions will be.. I was gracious and let them lie… (had to get up anyway it was 5 a.m. and still pitch black outside.. sigh…)
The Path to Achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
Bring sunshine into someone’s life today, say “hello” share a “smile”
Leaves have started to change, there is a new nip to the air that hints that it won’t be long, already the days are shorter. When I wake up now, 5 ish, it is still dark outside. There are still pesky mosquitos lingering, but soon I am hoping to see the last of them.. man they are annoying.
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions. (always a work in progress for me)
How is your start to a week-end? Hopefully you will enjoy not only good weather but some of the fall fairs and concerts that are happening around the city.
Your willingness to learn will make you shine even brighter. As long as you are motivated to learn more, you will continue to progress in life.

OK Trow played last night but it was at 5 slt this is an old poster, and China was not wearing a red costume she was wearing something else, but... the reason I’m posting about dancing and music is that it was FUN. So much we do in life is not about FUN it is about working at, or working for, or doing something for work or a project or, or, or…. One of the reasons the Trowzer Boa experience is such a delight is he is a musician that loves to improvise, his music is familiar yet different, he takes melodies and rearranges them. His whole set is fun, flirty and full of instrumental story telling. For a music lover it is a journey of the senses.
During the day we are bombarded with words, and more words.. and in most shows there are more words and story telling that are full of words that create what we take in. Whether radio/television, internet where we are reading, we are seeing/listening to words of others wanting us to see/hear what “they” have to say. What I have discovered working with Trowzer Boa * these many years now is that he provides a backdrop for MY thoughts, MY feelings, the music fills the air and my body will respond to the rhythms, I find myself “chair dancing” “toe tapping” singing words that may or may not be right, it doesn’t matter, they fit into MY Moment in time.
I question why Wednesdays are called “hump days”… does that not put a negative on the day before it even begins. Every day is a wonderful opportunity to explore and experience the world and the people around us… Just saying.
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

When you think “I’ve got it” think again. It is easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

Here I sit day after day, helping people make their way through another day.
Does anyone ever see me, can anyone relate to what it is to be ignored in every way.
Did you know that once I was a seed, and then I grew into a full grown tree.
Oh, I felt so free, my limbs reached to the sky.
In spring I would grow these beautiful leaves that would stay with me all through summer and most of the fall.
I had a multitude of visitors that would come to take shelter of just sit a spell, and share the day with me
All the changed for me, when one day someone noticed how strong and tall I was…
I felt so proud, I preened and spread my arms even wider.
To my shock and dismay, I was cut to the ground, my beautiful bark was ripped from my body and I was laid bare.
Oh this is a beauty I heard it exclaimed, then to my horror I was passed through a mechanical monster who cut me into pieces.
I was shipped with others who had met my fate into a large open space where we lay stripped of our dignity and actually ignored
What was my future to be, I heard the talk, in the yard I was in, I could become part of a floor, a wall, I was no longer a tree, I had become an object to be used.
Then one day, I was shipped off to an area that was filled with tall trees and vegetation .. I was back in the woods where I could hear and see the birds and animals who used to visit with me, I was so happy….
Here I was cut up again, so parts of me lay in one place and another further down the way, I was going to be part of a walkway that cut across an expanse of land called a bog.
I was going to be useful again, I was going to be able to feel the wind, and all the wonderful elements of nature again.
I soon realized that it wasn’t like being a tree where I stood tall reaching for the heavens, where people would gaze at me in wonder at my strength and beauty and take shelter under my many limbs when the sun got too hot, or if the rains were too unrelenting.
No, I was a convenience, and many never even glanced at me or my beautiful markings.. some even took pleasure in trying to disfigure me.
I’ve grown old, you can see the tired lines in my face. If you look even closer, you will see the acceptance of my fate.
Thank you for listening to my story, if even one of you looks kindly on one of my peers, then my life has not been in vain.
Should you come visit, I hope to still be around, I may have a couple of seasons left in me.. who knows.. life is what it is after all, I have lived a good life, .. and look I got to share some time with you today, so its a good day!
*as told to Q on a hot summer day...
Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

Are you caught in an in-between world. Do you find that you are often thinking of what was, or wondering what happened to?
Do you find yourself watching movies or made for television series that have you lost in another person’s world/fantasy.?
Are there moments when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders.?
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is.
