follow your heart

mar 3

Wow.. a barely in focus picture of a wall with ice. Yet this is what struck me yesterday as thought-provoking. I was going through a McDonald’s drive through. When the bigger of the lot had me reaching for the camera. Of course I had one eye on the line ahead of me .. while fumbling for the iPhone in my cluttered backpack.

march 3 mcDonalds Innis Can you see the little eye and the bird’s head peeking out at the bottom… Yesterday the whole ice sculpture made me smile and gasp in pleasure.. (I know, I don’t get out much)

All this to say, “to each his/her own” we are all so different and unique from one another. Truth be told, often even to ourselves.

I even had the ice on the left, wanting to be with the others that hung in a group further along the wall. imagination is wonderful.

You have all heard me say time and time again, I like being “happy”

A lesson I am learning especially since my husband passed away, is that happiness is where you find it, and is at times redefining itself. That joy of turning to your partner and without a word, you both know, one of you just had a burst of “happy” or an inspiration, is gone, only the memory remains. Time, love and faith, will heal these moments, but for now…. What is, is.

PL Calendar day 4

Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others

Always be true to yourself in your words and actions. Strive to make others happy with a sincere heart

Feb 28

Happy Birthday to someone special. Born on the 28th she just missed being a leap year baby. How lucky is that.

Birthdays are a celebration of life. No matter how many we have, each one marks a year of experiences and adventures. Some birthdays are stepping-stones, and others well, they require hiking boots walking sticks and determination.

I welcome every day as an opportunity for kindness.

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late” Ralph Waldo Emerson”

#30 of the PL Calendar Your surroundings are a mirror of your thoughts

When you think \”this s going to be hard” then your situation will become difficult Instead think “let’s do this!” and face your situation with determination. Then you will be surprised to se how smoothly things go.

Have a wonderful day every one! If you are celebrating today, go for it. Enjoy the day to the fullest.. That said. We should be doing our best to live every day to the fullest. Happy happy happy energy and vibes to all.

meaning – loss

2015b

What?? I don’t know, back in 2015 I saw this photo and was intrigued at what it was, what it meant, where it came from. If I found out, I didn’t record it, so in my files this is what I found, now Feb. 24. 2019

Doing a tidy up, I found a card a group of friends sent me when my husband passed away, “on the loss of your husband” Store bought, from the American Greeting co. in the States, I reread the message.

“They say life goes on just give yourself time to mourn, and accept and to heal, Though none of that offers much comfort right now with the sorrow and loss you must feel… but, there in your heart where you miss him the most where friendship and love never cease, somehow you know that he’d want nothing more than to see you find comfort and peace”

As I digested the words of sympathy my friends had sent me, my eyes fell on today’s PL calendar, for day 24

Things that happen to us all have a meaning

Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Each and every occurrence is a chance for you to improve yourself.

It is with gratitude that I start my day, and appreciation for you my friends who keep in touch, drop in, the distance, the miles, time zones, disappear, when I say I appreciate each and every one of you. I do. My heart sings with joy when you say hi… the like button, the thoughtful hellos, and cheerful input, the nudge now and then, all blessings.

“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. ” Nelson Mandela

Ancestors Day

fabric friend got for her

Perfect Liberty Calendar … day 11

Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

The bright colourful fabric you see was purchased and collected by a friend of my sister’s while on a shopping outing. I never met this friend, only heard of her through my sister. I was however, really taken by her selection of fabric, the choices she made, and the colours she was drawn to. This friend passed away last week, leaving a gigantic hole in the lives of her family and friends. It was sudden, no warnings, simply a chill, and she was gone.

We never know in life when a change will be made in our circle of friends and loved ones. It happens, life is what it is.

Perfect Liberty Principle #2 – I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

Happy Chinese New Year!

PL Calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting!”

Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.

“True Religion is real living, living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness an righteousness” Albert Einstein

It is very quiet all around me when there is a deep blanket of snow around every inch of ground that surrounds my home. The emergency vehicles are quiet this morning, the main roads and streets must be decent. Commuters who have deadlines must be either there or almost at their destinations.. The quiet of the moment is refreshing. Yesterday I had a sick day, my body dictated that the end of the lunar year should be one of contemplation and rest. I listened.

Today is a new beginning. In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art, I really and truly believe this, each day is a new canvas, where the possibilities are endless. For you my precious and delightful friends, readers and “family” may the Universe enrich your lives with the delight of new adventure, successful results and endless opportunities for your dreams/ wishes. And, the blessing of wisdom in the knowledge that love is with you, now and always.

Oyashikiri

Stash

stash feb 2

Good morning everyone, Bom Dia!!!

Stash, supplies, whatever we call our treasures that we collect because we are attracted to them or find a simple pleasure in adding them to our collection. Some have a small stash, and others of us, have hmmm let us say, a large variety of collections that we will do something with “some day” or eventually. =^_^=

Having spent the last year or so, in de-clutter mode, I can now more readily see what I have, and what I have ended up I find really interesting. When I came home yesterday from another adventure through a snow blown countryside. I saw that I had a lot of products from suppliers that were rich, vibrant and totally statement artists.

Even though the weather to most was a real “drag” if they were on the road trying to get somewhere, but for me and my charming companion, it was an “afternoon stroll” Leisurely and fun, missing were the tea cups and small sandwiches. Instead we rolled safely along in our cozy environment and caught up. Part of the drive we were escorted by two huge city trucks clearing the highway in front of us.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. Eleanor Roosevelt

Perfect Liberty calendar day 3 Instead of worrying do something about it

It doesn’t help to over think situations such as “what if this happens?” or “things might end up that way” Instead, be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.
