Have a happy day everyone

In the church’s March newsletter, there was a paragraph, that I think bears repeating.

“Money and material things are materials for our self expression What matters is how effectively we use them, how we use them for the sake of life and for others, and whether our way of using them brings joy not only to ourselves but also the people around us.”


  • and aside…. how many of you own or use a cell phone.??? I was crazy happy when I started using one. Coming from a time when there was only a land line, IF that… to having a ‘phone” in my pocket… >>>>Swoon <<<<
  • Fast forward to 2026….. grrrrrr, I want to lock it in a drawer where I can’t see it or hear it.. Natter … . aggressive, noisy, constantly trying to interfere with my peace and quiet. Remind me, why do I need my mail inbox on my cell phone????
  • And what is it with saving everything even if you don’t want to… why am I supposed to have a filing system in a “cloud”

Smiles sweetly at you… Ok rant is over for now.. this is Saturday morning, and we are having a long week-end.

OH, there is the beeping of a truck backing up… someone is moving.. in or out I don’t know.. hopefully the rain will hold off for them. time for me to move along Have a grand day !!!! I am working on mine.

By the way if you follow me on FB… I have started to put a mini post in the visual posts that last only 24 hours. I am enjoying the creativity of using the “characters/personalities” i develop in SL using avatars. and Eastern philosophy.

SL is Second Life. http://www.secondlife.com

Friday

Did someone say “long week-end”?

….. Let’s start by enjoying this moment, right now… I closed my eyes and felt the sunshine… it is streaming through the patio window. Must be time to “catch some rays”

Time to go out to the woods and “play”

Enjoy whatever it is you plan to do today..

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive.

Wednesday

There are days when we feel lost and alone

Days when you wander from chore to chore,

wondering if there is anything anywhere that will lighten the load

There MUST be more…..

That is when you realize you are not alone…..

Can you see???

Thanksgiving

In PL, we celebrate Thanksgiving every month. Day of Appreciation/Thanksgiving.

A thankful heart leads to happiness.

When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

Friday

For days I basically dragged myself around, my attention span was that of a gnat … did you know that these little insects besides being a bother.. can bite, (they feed on blood) (biting midges)

I mentioned the other day that I had returned to the “bush” and spent some time in the dense overgrowth… pruning back, and clearing areas that were getting too dense to walk clear of wet prickly vegetation.. it was time well spent, but I was exhausted from the effort.. when I finally sat still .. my body had something to say about my activities.

Well dear reader… my body decided enough was enough, and took my mind off of wandering the woodlands. It allowed me to feel its opinion..I started to sniffle, sneeze, ear blocked, I felt a cold sore coming on.. and then it struck with the symptom it knew I was not going to enjoy,, chills, Let’s just say, my body does not have a sense of humour.

I’ve been practicing a lot of C A L M …. the rip van winkle kind.

How are you doing? Did you experience any of that thunderstorm we had the other night. Do you know we still had hail around one of the flower beds yesterday afternoon.

/all in all, today is a brand new day. Sun is out.. what adventure will it bring my way?
