for those asking about my fall…. I am coping .. the teachings I have been fortunate to learn/live have helped me cope. The body took a serious jarring, it is taking awhile for my insides to settle down, But… they will. Thanking you all for keeping in touch, I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
Meanwhile.. I live one moment at a time. (shikiri)
A visit to the province of Quebec… it stopped raining enough to get some pictures.
Have a good day everyone!

In looking through pictures I came across a memory from the early days in Second Life. A trip down memory lane is fun … Back then, the virtual world was new to me, I discovered that even the government was taking a look at this new world/technology.
Check out the old avatars… it was so much fun, the creativity was fascinating to me, remember when we built clothes with building tools… mesh had not arrived. It was a different world. The sign when I see it today, wow… it (SL) did offer a ton of opportunity, and those who stayed and grew with the “internet/pixel” technology… have a lot of good memories. Not to mention experiences of a lifetime.
Your feelings of appreciation become real when you express them.
Express your feelings of appreciation by actually saying “Thank You” out loud or by doing something to show how you feel. Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too, leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.21)

Sometimes when the world just gets too busy – when there is no spaces in the day/night we find ourselves in “overdrive”. It is hard to think clearly when we are bombarded almost 24/7 with chores/tasks/responsibilities. The “Universe” takes over. We get sick, we fall, we have unexpected situations, we have no choice, we have to take a time out. 
When was the last time, now think before you answer…. you gave yourself permission to enjoy quality time for YOU.
No, you don’t have to have that cell phone with you 24/7. No, you don’t have to reply or do something “right away” because that is always what was done. When life gets so busy, you feel overwhelmed… it is OK.. to stop, step back.. and take time for YOU. YOU matter, YOU are important, YOU count. Yes the dishes have to be done, but they can wait, they will not disappear, believe me I know.. No one sneaks into your home to do them for you.
Its cold out, its raining… the mosquitos are bad… blah blah blah. yesterday, I toured a new nursery (to me) a huge indoor greenhouse, tons of happy vegetation, lush green leaves, interesting cacti, in the outdoors area, I got to enjoy Japanese maples, Honey locust trees, evergreens in all shapes and sizes. The herb section was a paradise of delightful scented air. When there is a will there is a way.
Today it is a long sleeve sweater day. We had steamy hot … take it all off .. weather not long ago… This is what life is all about. From one day to the next, it is a new beginning.
In PL, #1 Precept is. Life is Art…. # 2 To live is to express One’s Self. # 7 Everything exists in relativity. # 16 All things progress and develop. # 18 EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT
It all begins with your determination.
Things begin to happen the moment you decide “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude.
Please make time for YOU.

know someone who needs this message.. pass it on.
Value your intuition
When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something you should act upon it right away. PL 2014.19

Did you know that PL has a unique way of offering personal guidance? Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals, and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. Thru consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation.
To complain is a waste of your energy.
Whining and complaining will not change anything, Look for the shortcomings in your own thoughts or methods and tackle your problems creatively.
Live life with a smile!

The skies are full of the Canada Geese flying over head these days, headed for their summer residences, they are everywhere, the honking is loud and constant.
