tudo bem?
At times we all pretend
Letting dreams and memories
run wild in our imaginations
Then happens the day
When “pretend” becomes reality
So real you know what it is
to be alive
Reality is escape
From the bondage of freedom
Q
Good relationships begin by greeting each other.
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

Wednesday
Needed a break from the heat, humidity and at times rain.
Every day is a new beginning… I remember taking this picture, the day was cool, crisp and invigorating. Hard to find that these days, it has been scorching.. uncomfortable and heavy.
In the PL Prayer, there is a passage “ all humankind who are brought to birth in accord with your Creation are endowed with individuality and intelligence to live an artistic life, for the sake of the world and for the sake of humankind.”
Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves.
Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.
Chill everyone… till soon.

LOL it does look slanted, but when I go and look at it … it looks fine, could have been the angle when I took it… anyway, the minerals are safe away from furry paws.
The Brats play cowboys or space cadets not sure, all I know is at some time in the wee hours they go into frisky mode and use the bed as a trampoline to dive over to the bureau where their cat tower is. Thankfully I’m in a dead sleep.. and barely wake now that I know what is happening, The first night or two.. it was a bit un-nerving
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something,
The joy your feel when you’ve put your all into something its yours alone, Nobody can take that away from you,

Have a good day everyone. happy start to a new week.

The Sun
The sun that had warmed and welcomed her earlier that day was no longer friendly. She lay in quiet despair feeling the unrelenting heat, burrow down deep into her body. The ground under her was hard, unforgiving and uncaring that her body hurt. Where once she thought of the sun as a healing energy and one that gave life, she now thought only of how it was slowly killing her with it scorching blistering persistence on her now barely living shell.
The once slender arm that one gracefully waved to friends and showed her animation for life, now lay limp and useless across her eyes. Her parched throat tried in vain to find one tiny drop of saliva ..anything to relieve the thirst that raged inside her she felt her soul evaporating drop by drop into the stillness around her. Nothing moved. The animals knew to conserve their energy. Not a sound could be heard … and she had no energy left to try to cry for help.
How long she lay in the semi state of consciousness, no one would ever know. All hope for rescue was gone, she simply let herself go.
PL PRECEPT # 18 – EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT
PL PRECEPT # 11 – ALWAYS BE WTH GOD
It was at that moment that she felt rather than saw a presence. She knew her eyes would not open, her strength was gone. Maybe the angels had come to take her away from this burning inferno. Maybe… he would once more feel the cool of a shaded nook, and feel the fresh green grass beneath her feet. If she were to die now… she would be rescued from this horrible state of passive death.
PL PRECEPT # 3 GOD APPEARS THROUGH ONE’S SELF
What was that…. a sweet smell … the air around her had changed… Then yes… she felt a drop on her lips. A gentle rain, just enough to slowly wind its way down her throat and give a feeling o reprieve. She knew she could not move… so she lay and accepted the gift from the “gods”…. her body was bathed in healing rain, drop by drop she felt her skin greedily take it in.
PL PRECEPT # 12 EVERYTHING HAS A WAY ACCORDING TO ITS NAME
Maybe she would see tomorrow… maybe there was hope… as her body drdank t his blessing from above, she felt the earth beneath her begin to take shape and mould to her now drenched body…. Her arms that had been limp and useless now began to lift in prayer to the skies.
PL PRECEPT #18 EACH MOMENT IS A TURNING POINT
PL PRECEPT #19 BEGIN ONCE YOU PERCEIVE
Her eyes opened to the world and she knew she could stand tall and be strong again. In letting go and accepting the moment of despair, she had welcomed the unknown, in doing so, it became her friend…. she was free to embrace the sun again.
In death, comes a new beginning/life.

Monday
Good morning everyone,,
Heal from the past
Simply be here
There is only NOW
Cherish what can’t be measured
New Zealand is very beckoning. This picture my friend posted has an almost surrealism to it. Moving has had a dramatic effect on me.. I am still putting together the pieces that shattered around me during the start of the move.
The reality of my situation didn’t hit me till I was able to distance myself from what “was”. You all know the expression,. “one can’t see the forest for all the trees”
Small changes can bring about a fresh outlook.
Are you just living each day and getting into a rut? By making small changes in the things you do, your day to day life an become fresh and exciting.
PL2012.24
in my case it wasn’t a small change.. and… when the reality hit, it was a whopper.
Till soon..

drum roll
Stop…. take a deep breath…. hold it…. let it out slowly….. did that help.. NNOO! Then do it again… close your eyes this time.. block out the world… now slowly take another deep breath… hold it… and let out a big sigh…. How was that???
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
Call internet provider… what was working the other day . is not working today. After much back and forth.. “our offices are not open at the moment, but you can go to our internet website .. log in and your problem can be quickly resolved.. supply your e-mail and we will send you a link”
Hmmmm wonder how I can do that when the internet is not working an that is why I’m calling. However talking to a mechanical robot does not get my any further, I am stumped, I go silent. After moments of silence, I hear a human voice. Relieved I explain my situation… the voice tells me to unplug the modem.. I look blankly at the screen and my cell phone.. there are a zillion wires at my feet. “which wire exactly” I ask…
“Do you know where your modem is” asks the disembodied voice. “yes” I replied “I saw the repairman install it in the closet” Then I was given further instructions to go to the box etc… and from there it only got more “challenging” With patience, and trying to find buttons where there were none… the internet is now up and running, but for how long, who knows.
What a way to start one’s day.
PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop
The biggie for my start of the day…
PL Precept # 5 One’s self is lost by being emotional
Hope yours starts or started up better than mine.
Cheers!

the little house
I want to thank Eliza for sending me this link… I sure needed it this morning… moving is so hard in many ways I know it is a new beginning… but …. It is a challenge…
I will get through this… I have wonderful friends who have been so thoughtful and helpful. I am blessed to have them in my life. There is an expression, “WE PICK OUR FRIENDS, etc.”
Take care of things as they come to your attention.
When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.
Have a wonderful day everyone…

Turkey talk
I’m listening – really? – showing off – had enough
They really do have personalities, and days when they are social and other days when they want to just “chill”… they really do know how to show off tho’ and that is always fun to watch. (formatting was being difficult, hope that the captions line up when I hit publish.
Let’s interact proactively with an ever-changing society
Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn to deal with them proactively.
