working hard or hard working

costco 1.26b

turn on the light please or open the light please

the date has been moved ahead, or has it been pushed back

costco 1.26d

does that picture have meaning, or is the meaning the picture

close the light, or shut the light

costco 1.26c I realized that we were miles apart on that one thought

you really were adamant and for me.. simply, it didn’t matter

what mattered, was that you be happy, I let it go

instead, I said, I loved you….

and my heart sent loving thoughts your way,

you laughed, and that was that.

Miss Piggy waves hello.. a cheerful pot of tea, she is dropping in to wish you well, We have a bright sunny day here, milder temperatures too. I think I heard thunder rolling across the winter night sky in the early morning hours. Warmer air, passing over and pushing down on the colder air below.

Works for me. What ever you are doing, where ever you are going.. May the rays of positive energy bless your day today !!

Oyashikiri

You are loved, today and everyday!

and no, Miss Piggy did not follow me home.

Wednesday musings

perogies 1.24a

Perogies – finally after weeks of thinking about it, I got a package and did them up for lunch. It has been years and years since I last had Perogies, were they as I remembered them..yes and no. They did taste of potatoes, and this package said they were filled with 3 kinds of cheese. All in all it was a good lunch. 4% sour cream, steamed veggies, sprinkled with garlic and seasoning.

Today was about “follow through” tomorrow’s lesson is about living a fulfilled life every day by utilizing things, money , knowledge/energy to their fullest. Since we got the news that my husband’s illness would be something that we will have to adjust to, we are both working daily to ensure that we stay in a positive, and healthy “mode”.. part of this for both of us, is to remove clutter and negatives, and to rejoice in discovering or rediscovering people and things that we like/enjoy.

Perogies, is a small something, but an example of wanting the experience again, so I did it. I have also been diligent in removing items that simply clutter, and no longer hold interest in my day-to-day. As my husband is fond of saying, “if you do need it, or something like it, you need only go and get whatever it is, when you need it” It has taken awhile but he has said it often enough that I now “think it” and I am taking action.

It is amazing how much better I feel with each new truck load of merchandise that leaves, there is still a lot more to de-clutter, but I am making headway. In doing so, I have rediscovered a new excitement in my creativity, my imagination is able to move at lightening speed when I least expect it to.

Plus I enjoy knowing that someone else will find the crafting tools, etc. that I no longer want and it will flame their creativity. What a win, win.

Nao tenha pena de usar

shades of gray

stark, cloudy, bleak, no, not bleak, just gray

what is there to say

the water looks dark, cold and uninviting

no need to test it with my toe

by the time I walk across the snow-covered grounds

my feet and toes will no longer be cozy warm

I think I will pass, and not go near the water’s edge

that is something I can do on another day

meanwhile I will view from afar

the far away shoreline, before

I head back, following the path that I’ve taken

back to the truck.

Not really exciting, but refreshing, yes.

A winter’s day, shown in shades of gray

I found some colour to brighten the gray

I will come back another day

We are heading into a storm

for winter, this is the norm

after all this is Canada eh!

timing

David Bowie on roller skates————————————- Roller disco dancing

Another time another place. I loved roller skating to music, feeling the beat, and if you had someone to skate with, you could waltz and two-step doing some pretty fancy stuff. I believe the David Bowie advert, was for a big disco roller event in Australia. I didn’t get to Australia to strut my stuff, but I did head for the board walk in California along the ocean. Such exhilarating times, you met others with the same interest and you got to chat and just hang out.

Now I’m told, social interaction is not allowed or thought to be a safe thing to do. When out at gatherings, or in parks, it is advised to stay in pairs, and not talk to strangers. I hear on the radio and television news broadcasts, always about shootings, robberies, and lately, accidents due to people texting or answering their cell phones.

It is common to show movies and have television series(s) that include violence, abduction, shootings and fights. And we wonder why there is a rise in gun shootings, stabbings and gang violence ?? Really?

Lately here, there is a hue and cry about the legalization of marijuana as if it has suddenly thrust itself on our society, ?????????? to my knowledge it was around long long before my time, and I’ve been around for a while.

There is a spoke missing in the wheel of “common sense” it seems to be all about stirring up rather than bringing peace or a state of calm. When it appears that the media, the box office – entertainment (movies) is always after sensational, or totally outlandish behaviours to bring in the monies or “ratings”

I don’t know readers.. as one cartoon character used to say “thatttttttsss all folks”

banana's in PJs Feb.2017 Australia El momento en que percibs es la oportunidad

A chance esta no momento e que se percebe

The moment you notice is the best timing

Procrastinating will only weigh you down. The best time to do something is when you notice it. You will feel lighter both physically and spiritually. (PL Calendar # 19)

chop suey Wednesday

Good morning everyone. I thought I would start today to talk about laziness. Seriously this is one of my “work on it” traits or “flaws” Being a visual person, I woke to a perfect example to share with you.

cafeland 1.17.18

This is a game I play on my iPhone when I am somewhere waiting, ie. for a dental, or doctor’s appointment. Now that I no longer have an iPad, having gone for a phone with a bigger screen, you know the size of the screen I am working on. Interestingly, the game on my computer is the same but not the same, my computer being a Windows format.

When I began on the iPhone/Pad, I had to start all over with a new café, in this new format. Fun I thought I can do something totally different. Off to the races I went, enjoying myself, watching my money grow etc. However, I don’t have the friends to play with in this format, but lots through the game. I digress.

Last night I decided to start decorating for the Chinese New Year, which will be coming up soon in mid February. *year of the Dog* (lunar calendar) The program suggested I take a picture to show my friends, I took a picture and sent it to myself.

To my horror when I looked at the picture this morning, I was assaulted with the glaring objects of my laziness.

I didn’t clean up the floors before taking the picture
I saw where I had started to change my servers and didn’t go back to make sure all of them were done. In fact, I used some from my inventory rather than buy the shiny metal ones that go with my décor ..( frugal and lazy)
The tips could have been collected, but in truth I didn’t see them, again, I didn’t take the time to look

Small over sights maybe, but in my case, I lean towards lazy, we all do, intention is to go back and fix it, but as the days go along, and since it is only me playing, none of my guests to this site, are known to me… bla bla bla… excuses. After making time to fix up the café, start on my remodel, I take a picture .. and voila. caught on camera…

We just never know do we. this is a fun example, but it IS an example, we never know, taking short cuts, neglecting to do something “just because”. A camera never lies the results can be photo-shopped or edited, but lens itself, never lies.

PL Precept #15 All is a Mirror

PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.

Have a good day everyone… I will post the link below to the dymoonadventures blog.

breakfast

noodles,shrimp,egg and greens

Japanese noodles, Chinese greens, green pepper, hard-boiled egg, and big yummy pieces of shrimp. The shrimp I put in first, so that it would warm with the hot chicken soup base, and pork flavour seasoning. While this sits soaking up all the flavours, I read my morning lesson,

PL Calendar #13 There will always be a Way

“As long as you are serious, there is no reason for you to give up. Move forward one step at a time and things will always turn out for the best”

What better way to start the day, nourishment for the “tummy” and wisdom for the “soul”

If you haven’t already gotten your calendar, there are still some available at the church here in Ottawa, or any of the other churches nearer to you. They are available in Japanese, English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Friday Fog

Innes VV 1

As I drove through the fog today, there were stretches of road that simply disappeared from view. I turned on my head lights and carefully followed a good distance from the car in front.

The radio was on, the announcer telling me about the flash freeze heading our way, and that once the temperature started to drop, listeners were to proceed with caution, being watchful for black ice. I was almost at my destination, slowing down I pulled into the parking lot and made my way to the back of the building. As quickly as the rain had started to pour down in an angry stream of driving rain, it stopped. I was able to get out of the truck, and snap a few pictures before it started up again.

I got home before the temperature did its plunge to below zero, in single digits. The fog inspired another page on http://www.dymoonadventures.com It will be a challenge, splitting my “creative moments” but, I feel up to it. I am hoping that it will encourage me to write more of the fiction that I used to so enjoy.

In PL, Perfect Liberty, PL Precept # 20 Live Maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter. Basically to me, reminds me to find and maintain balance in all I do. Like today’s fog, that floated in and out of my awareness, ideas, words, thoughts are continually taking center stage in my conscious mind.

Obviously I am grateful, and appreciate that this is “me” but there are times, when the “I” in me wants to express life in a different way. Where philosophy, and creativity “play out” to get my attention. My solution today, clean up my messy work table in my “studio” and reward myself with an early night.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists om relativity.

Have a super great week-end everyone. Till soon.
