Wordless Wednesday
Oyashikiri

Good morning everyone, bom dia a todos..
Trying something new, with a new medium, I just wasn’t getting it. At least not with the results I wanted. Mostly I would get it out late in the evening ,just before going to bed, and have another go at it.
Last night, with time to spare, I organized the different medium I wanted, and used a different method of application. Voila the look I wanted, 1,2,3, the card was done.
PL Calendar day 7 – Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy
When you are doing something you may rush things to get good results, quickly . Instead relax and enjoy the process.
Blessings of the day dearest friends.

A window that captures a moment in time
a moment long-lived, yet, now lost in time
Took a trip to Ireland, for this moment to happen
that was yesterday, this is today.
Today, when I saw the colours, I thought of Brazil
two places I have never been
Life is “funny” that way
in an instant we can travel the globe
never leaving home,
why, because home is where your heart is.
mine is alive and well, still beating strong,
the window is till in Ireland,
the moment has passed
but the thoughtful moment of inspiration,
a gift, long to be remembered
Q
past, present, they are all the same, to live in the now, we gather it all, so that today will be an even better day, for one and all. You are truly loved, now and always.
PL Precept # 10 Love yourself and Others

somewhere, sometime, a different scene played out around these doors, the pump was busy every now and then, and a traveller would stop and sit a spell
how you doing, nice day isn’t it,
going far, what else can I do for you?
now we drive up and wait in line for a self-serve pump
pay the pump with a plastic card, put the gas in ourselves,
and drive away, not a word is spoken. no one cares.
social niceties, and genuine customer service
if it could be seen , would look like the picture above.
still there, however not appreciated, just a memory
of another time and place

Here we go. Tim Horton’s in Ireland. No more can we say, “only in Canada” the world has changed so much over the years. What hasn’t changed is the bond of friendship that is ongoing, and is built and groomed with unconditional love. Acceptance, and respect.
Yesterday in PL, being the first of the month, we celebrated with the PL service of Peace. Every month, on the 1st day of the month. at 10 a.m. all over the world where there is a church, or a member of PL, time is made to pray for world peace. Through the service at the church we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as a peaceful human being, in our own worlds, which includes, our home, school, work and communities.
When we love with makoto “sincerity” and dedication of purpose, we are blessed with love in our lives that continues to shine, forever and always. It is not measured in earthly ways, days, months, years, it is, simply life itself. Like breathing in and out. we don’t count how often we breathe in and out during our days and nights, we just Breathe …. Love should be in our action, words and hearts. Always.
Life is Art. PL Precept #1
Harmony leads to world peace

reminder. Pick up your 2019 calendar at the church, if you are unable to get to the church and would like one, contact me thank you, obrigada/o
Well,well,well…
Bom dia, feliz sexta feira, happy Friday everyone.
What is with the well, well, well… my reaction to a news story this morning, where one police officer shot another officer. Well, well, well, really, I can’t go beyond my reaction. It is stunner, perhaps because in my past law enforcement was part of my life, I don’t know. I have been away from this field for too many year, to know what the climate is like these days. This is life isn’t it, we are calmly going about our daily business, when out of the blue, you hear something, or see something, that startles, or gives you cause for pause.
Life is happening all around us, some we hear about,, some we don’t, other times, it is right before us, and we never see it, or know that it is happening. But it is. A reminder that we don’t know what is around that corner, we know NOW. For myself, I know that I have to focus more on the now, be focused/aware, it is a fine art, and one that needs practicing every day.
PL calendar day 30 Use your results to make the next time even better
Whether things turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the net time.

ps. my sister did the above artwork, I had not seen it before, it was one of her first attempts at working with a new medium. It is so colourful and joyful. It is giving me a smile, hope you catch it and pass it on. *wink.* Smile everyone, it is Friday.
Looking out at animals calmly enjoying their time in the pasture.
Their only thought is to BE.
Not feeling 100% I took to my bed early, I thought I would listen to my body, and simply lie down.
Life has a way of getting in the way.
PL calendar day 27
Put all of your effort into the NOW.
You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but NOW

Bom dia dear friends, Greetings.. and blessings.

Good morning everyone, bom dia..
I was out of the city most of the week, travelling the roads…Gone are the fields of green, I was met with beautiful skies, that reflected the cooler temperatures, and the fields of white. Interesting how the sky actually looks bluer and the clouds whiter when below is a blanket of crystal white snow.

I love that the world is constantly providing us with an abundance of new vistas, opportunities and challenges. Letting go of what was, is an ongoing process of growth and new experiences.
PL calendar day 24 – Listen and See with careful attention and accept each other
Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without any pre conceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.
Life is what we make of it. The choices are always ours.

Every new day is a blessing, each exchange with a friend, is a double blessing, for often through the eyes of our friends, we see a part of ourselves. Q
walks in forgotten places
the whisper of the leaves
as they are temporarily displaced
by intruding footsteps
on the well-worn path
the memory haunts me
the path remains, but you are gone
no longer will we explore the unknown
for you have gone into the unknown
You have found peace forever more.
While I wait on the shore
listening for signs, that on earth, one day
peace and happiness will be found around the world
Till then, the haunting beauty will remind me of home
and the comfort of unconditional love, beyond here and into the unknown.

Good morning, bom dia a todos
Does anyone know where that expression comes from? Nope not me, it is just the phrase came to me, and won’t go away. I certainly didn’t fall out of bed this morning, but instead of my usual, I think today I may be more like garlic.
Maybe it will be a salad kind of day?
