Happy New Year
Wow December is coming to an end, With fantasy and sunshine nudging me today, I went in search of Q to see what she was up to. I found her high up on a mountain playing with a duck on a frozen pond. She was not delighted at my appearance guessing that I had come to draw her away from her fun to do some work with me.
She did start to run away, or so I thought, but bless her little heart, she decided to play along.
Here she is after changing her hair .. chatting with a couple of the snow people we met along our way. The little snow boy was really happy that the weather has turned nice and cold.
This mother and daughter were on their way to a snowball “game”… I thought that Q took a bit too much interest..
As you can see, she was keen to take lessons on just how to make a good snowball so that it would make the biggest splatter. Q wisdom.. if you are going to do something, do it right…
Nothing would do but we had to visit her little reindeer pal for a big fat Holiday hug, you can see her gearing up to swoop down on him.. Q wisdom .. give a hug with lots of love, show you care…
Flying across the frozen landscape, we searched for the site where the 2018 welcoming party would be. Of course Q was the first to see it..
The stage is set, the decorations are out, now the count down will begin, for night-time to come, and the celebration hour to arrive.
Q what were you about to do? I am watching you… yes… you little missy Q you don’t mess with other people’s things. We have completed our mission, we have found a new year’s wish for you… Happy New Year everyone.. I’ll take Q skiing, that will keep her busy for now… =^_^= 
From Q aka Dymoon and all my characters.. Blessings to each and every one of you.

snow day
Happy Dec. 25th. a snow day here in Ottawa. There will be no shortage of snow for the guys and gals who love snow activities There is a gentle falling of snowflakes as I look out the window I see them drifting by, almost like an animation. I’ve been out to shovel the backyard, (not the driveway, no, the backyard) this is an annual event, that begins to prepare trails for the dogs to exercise and run when they are yard bound.
Tin man did hope for a trail his way, since the snow is deep there and he fears rust. However, I did not make it that far this morning. If and when I do, I will try to bring him in, I understand his desire to keep himself free of rust for as long as he can. Circumstances have been such that I neglected to get to him in time this year, before the snow began to fall.
PL Precept #19 Begin once you Perceive.
Today I noticed it, so I will do my best yo get back out there before there is too much more snow and move Mr. Tin Man. Even if it is to the shelter behind the garage. PL Precepts are simple reminders to us, to help us navigate the day to day challenges that sometimes get overwhelming, mostly because we don’t always act when we first notice something.
While I go out to shovel a path to him, I wish you all a very happy day, full of warm tender moments, and joy filled events. If you are going to celebrate is in excess, know that tomorrow is another day, =^_^=

PL Precept #21 Live in Perfect Liberty
Thursday doors -windows
Good morning everyone, the holidays are fast approaching. We are busy trying to settle back into a routine, and I am once more running the roads on errands. I am especially trying to beat the rush that will take place closer to the week-end, it will be impossible to find parking in the shopping mall parking lots. Already there is a sea of cars as far as the eye can see in the bigger centers near us.
Norm’s Thursday doors, is a huge interest to me, doors being so much a part of my life over the years. I am a keen buff on older homes, doors, windows and all that go along in the inspiration of my creative spirit.
The I found this collection of hand stitched works of art, sitting waiting to be framed in a thrift shop of all places. Someone had spent hours carefully building these charmers stitch by stitch. That to me is a true love of houses, windows and doors. Having attempted at one time this craft, I had full appreciation for the hours spent on putting these together.
If I have learned anything during the last few weeks, it is that what we see on the outside is not necessarily what is going on “inside” Our bodies house our “souls” the vibrant and vital energy this is our “lives”. The windows and doors, are the way we look out, and how we maneuver the in and outs of our journey through this life. In some ways they reflect our personalities .. many times, they are merely shelters. It is what goes on, inside the house, that makes it a home.
PL (Perfect Liberty) celebrates every 21st of the month, with a Thanksgiving ceremony. The service is dedicated to giving our appreciation and gratitude for the blessings we have received through the month. Think today as you read this, just how many blessings you have received in the last few days. There are always positives, we need only be receptive to them.
At first I was sad that the beautiful work someone had done was now in a Thrift Shop, then I realized that it was the joy in stitching that was the person’s pleasure, and now, I was happy in the discovery. Sharing his/her work with you, is also a “happy”… May the many little windows and doors open for you today.
Find the sunshine, find the happy, in your day. You will be blessed in many ways.

a door closes, one opens
In life we pass through many doors, some close and never open again, others close for the moment, and then reopen slowly to let the sunshine in, and the air is fresh and clear. Like a perfect sunny day in December should be.
A favourite flower to watch bloom, when it opens is a joy to behold. I have been overwhelmed by your kindness and caring. I felt it only right to share our news with you. smiles out at her community of caring hearts. The surgery was scheduled for 8, we were asked to be at the hospital for 6. At 5:15 my amazing husband wakes me “Q it is 5:15 I am ready to go, I’ll be in the truck waiting, can you be ready to leave for 5:30” Ladies I ask you… this is the faith he has in me. catch my wink and smile You all know I rose to the challenge and was ready with my coffee with minutes to spare.
And NO.. I am not going to tell you what I looked like.. LOL …. Let us just say I was presentable
Bottom line, the surgery was to have been from 8:30 to 4:30 and I was told that I likely would not be able to see him till after 6pm. I received a call mid afternoon, they were unable to proceed, they saw it had spread, did a biopsy and yes, it was more cancer cells. Rather than put him through a major surgery at this time, they checked the tumour that was there, saw that the previous treatments had dealt with it in a positive way. And “sewed” him back up. GOOD NEWS and some not so good news.
However, we are happy, we will only be apart a short time, and he will be home. Yes there is more treatments to come, and he and the medical team he deals with, will be there to coach and help us. ALWAYS GOD IS WITH US, every step of the way.
Myself personally, your consistent supportive encouragement and caring words have been such a blessing. Know that we/I truly appreciate each and everyone of you for what you bring into my life. Personally, online, from wherever, I love you all. You are all so special in your own way.
A flowers beauty will fade, but the last memory of the beauty in its BEING, will last forever. PL Precept #11 Always be with God

The only constant in life is Change
chop suey 12.11.
No, not my birthday, but I am sure it must be somebody’s birthday, somewhere. With my husband’s surgery fast approaching, I am finding that playing in my studio is a distraction that I find “restful” In the truck I have been listening to a story about King Henry the VIII’s last wife, Catherine Parr, and the court life she led. Interesting enough I guess, but I have decided I can do without the court drama.
The radio is either Holiday music, or if it is talk radio… the news, happenings of the day, budgets, politics and again, not what I call ambient for a soothing companion while I travel around doing last-minute errands.
On Sunday, the church was all festive with a decorated Holiday tree, even had lights. That was a nice surprise, I realized that each year, my husband has put up coloured lights on the garage, of course, this year, that hasn’t been done. Seeing the lights, reminded me that yes, it is the holiday season… but… for us… we will miss it all, it will be a quiet and hopefully healing one.
Snow is in the forecast, starting early evening, and, on into the night and most of tomorrow. For everyone wanting a white Christmas, looks like you just might get your wish.
May the joy of the holidays fill your homes with glad tidings. The merriment of shared laughter and tender moments be the ingredients of your days, and peace and serenity the balm of your nights.

the door, the fence
You can see it, you can hear it, but you just can’t get to it. The door is there, it opens, but even when it is just a short distance away, there is no access.
Life holds such moments at every turn. We can look at attaining access to the door, there is a way in, but the time, or the moment is just not right
You can walk closer, but the fence is still there, the door is still there, but at the moment in time while you are standing there …you can only look and contemplate. How badly you want access to that door, will determine what actions you will take. Even if you obtain access to the door, what then, the operation of the plane is in someone else’s skill set, not yours.
Such situations when they occur, bring to our attention how well we do with waiting, being patient, and learning to appreciate that this is a lesson that is important. We may not know why it is, not at the moment, we are looking through the fence… but as sure as night follows day, why the delay, or why the opportunity presented itself, will be known.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point
PL Precept # 5 One’s Self is lost by being Emotional
Being upset by something we have no control over, nor change is a waste of energy. Instead, be grateful you are alive to live the moment, and that in doing so, life is progressing, and from the experience, you will gain inner strength.. focus on the positives… the fence will stay there, but you will find a way, it is only at that one moment, that access is not possible. If there is a fence, there is a gate, if there is a door, someone will eventually come to that door.
Change is the only constant in life.
