howling time

fright nite b

LOL the howling month approaches. Love end of September, and all of October. Witches, goblins, spiders and bright vivid shades of oranges, blood reds and black. It is time to dig out the dies, stencils and paints. Yahoooo where is the glue.

OK so not everyone is enthusiastic and carries on like I do. But a roll of big bright ribbon with pumpkins and black cats… wow what a blast. here they are ready to be part of my stash

I had so much fun, just finding the right shadows to go with the ribbons.

Having fun is what life is all about. Happiness is… living each moment to the fullest. At one time I would have cropped out or photo shopped out shadows etc. Now I find that they are part of the moment, so I leave them in.

canvas torn

I found a picture of some torn canvas that I had happily ripped into shreds for a project. I think I still have some, so will go in search of what is left. I feel a new project coming on.. inspiration is rounding the corner. Time to rock and roll!!!!

Have a good day my friends.

sadness

fesrival winds bondi beach

look at the sad face

soon he’ll be soaring above the clouds

but at this moment, he looks so sad..

for a fleeting moment

a memory pierced my heart

a wink, a blink of an eye

a treasured moment

flashes before unsuspecting eyes

the colour of blue,

a bluejay’s call

transports your heart

to another port of call

the sad dog will soon fly

or could it be, he has just returned

from playing in the clouds

an emotion waits in the wings

tomorrow is another day

precious puppy will you stay

or will the winds

lift and carry you away

I will pray

God will keep you safe

and take the sadness away

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

Sydney Australia

A beautiful capture by Hillwalker (Darren Su)(Sydney Australia)

Life is about sharing, not able to see the vistas that Darren does in his travels, I enjoy his view of the world he visits and lives in. No two people will view the same sunset or sunrise the same way. It is always fascinating to see the world through the eyes of another.

Be open to new discoveries, as bloggers we are blessed with this opportunity many days in one given day. I have discovered worlds and pieces of it, in so many ways, by sharing with fellow bloggers and readers. You all participate in my world. Thank you!!!

Give thanks and appreciation to all those that come your way today.

sky high – Monday

festival winds bondi beach 9.17

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

look at me – flying so high

I am in the sky

riding the free-flowing breeze

oh… to never touch ground

yikes, if I do, will I be found

go away negative thought

God pilots my path

and in God’s grace/love

I have faith and know

wherever I go

it will be where I am bound

for God is always with me

I am never alone

birthdays =^_^=

hwy 43 9.16.17b

LOL.. no getting away from you is there. You are all so super fantastic.. No way you gonna let me forget it is my birthday. I wasn’t running away from it, really I wasn’t. I woke up and found that I’d lots of visits overnight. It was actually really pleasant to wake up and see that so many of you had dropped in.

hwy 43 9.16.17e

So many of you have traveled through the years with me, always there with your smiles and friendships. How many times have I hollered out.. HELP I’m stuck… it could be late in the night for you, and mid afternoon for me.. Always, if you are around, help is to be had. I am so truly blessed.

hwy 43 Alexandria 9.16.17b

The colours of fall have started to appear as you see in one of the pictures. Friends, are blessings I believe that. Even tho’ with the technology today (internet) we are able to reach out almost anytime… We don’t always get the chance, or think to do it, our day to day passes by on us too quickly.

Like the seasons, I am changing, my life takes new directions, doors open that I wasn’t expecting, opportunities that I hadn’t expected, drop in, and like nature, I accept and find creative ways to deal with the landscapes before me.

Hwy 43 Alexandria 9.16.17d

Always precious friends, I know that along the shorelines of my life, a friend is there. Thank you .. thank you, thank you…. each one of you helps me, live a life that is more complete, because you share this world with me.

Another year to mark off on the calendar… sigh… means I’m wiser, yes!

Come on…. this little gal is a cutie too… Thanks again everyone.. I love and appreciate you!!! I truly do…..

roof tops

hwy 43 9.16.17f near Mountain

I sit high when driving, we have a truck. I as struck by the vegetation and rooftops as I travelled how 43, going east.

hwy 43 9.16.17c

It was a beautiful day as you can see. The miles slipped silently by as I rode along taking in the views. It was a “me” day. A day to allow my thoughts to come and go, my only objective to watch the road, and take in the beauty around me.

hwy 43 9.16.17a

Farmland as far as the eye could see. Small villages, and towns, expanse of fields waiting for harvest. Rural Ontario. (250km) Lots of time to entertain my thoughts.

PL Precept # 15 All is a Mirror – I sought tranquility and peaceful surrounding. The Universe granted my wish. I enjoyed conversation and friendship along the way, then back in the truck as I continued on my way………….. the steady hum of the tires and visual delights as Nature provided the beginning colours of her fall palette.

Just before the final stretch, I stopped for fresh produce and discovered a new fruit. Ground cherries. physalis longifolia

Enjoy each new day, give thanks for the opportunities that come your way. Life is good.

ground cherries

A day spent with and in Nature, alone, in meditation and quiet

is a special day indeed!

Friday smile

lemur from 1994 magazine

Whenever you need a smile, you can always count on someone to pop up and say – Hey!

Hi! I’m thinking of you… Makes me smile every time.

Everyone gets busy in their own day-to-day living. When someone takes the time to drop in and say hello… appreciate the moment… this is one way the electronic world has changed over the years.. Where before we waited by the mailbox for word from a friend, now… with the internet, a few clicks and the smile is on its way.

This little guy I’ve been dragging around with me for years, I mean YEARS. He was on some magazine cover that someone had thrown out. I rescued him, every so often he pops up, I find him amongst papers, or stacks of magazines.. we share the familiar (by now) hello… and…. puff…. he’s gone till next time.

We need to tidy up and clean house in the fall, I prepare for nesting come the days when it is so cold outside.. we know we will be enjoying it from inside. For all the crafters and collectors out there, check your stash. Time to stock up.

image1 sending kisses

Blessings to you all. Share a smile today. Love with all your heart, what goes out, comes back… Always.

Appreciation -Gratitude

Luna -Porti 9.5.17

Meet Luna, my feel good therapist from the USA. She is a Portuguese Water Dog with an extraordinary ability to make people smile. She has an amazing number of followers who enjoy her daily antics, and her vibrant personality. Of course her human “Mom” does the talking for her, but her eyes and body language I can assure you let us know who the “real” boss is. She is so “darling” that she has an almost full time job modeling canine attire for different companies.

Her full-time job of course is her daily attitude of “Life is good! Let me show you just how good it is” She will patiently sit, and looking directly at the camera will dare you to not smile for her. I would show you her full face, but don’t know if you can stand her cuteness. She is a personality on Instagram tho’…. if you are on Instagram, check her out. lunatheportie 🐱

I appreciate her nature, her being there in living colour, because she always makes me smile. Thank you to “human” mom too….

The other day while driving home, I noticed that a postal van had slowed down going in the opposite direction. I looked over since I was stopped for a red light, and found a face looking back at me.. when our eyes connected, he smiled, no more, no less… I smiled back, and just like that.. it was a brighter day.

Everyday, I look for happiness, I like to share happy moments with friends, and people I meet, or come across in my daily travels. In PL we have 21 Principles we use as guidelines to help us live a better and happier life.

PL Principle #3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things, is a favourite of mine.

PL Principle #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning This one I find very important, if I start my day with a happy heart, I am more likely to have a much more effective and productive day. Why… because I choose to be happy and enjoy whatever the day brings my way.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art – you hear me say this over and over… every day is a brand new canvas.. own it…

Travel Quebec

Photo by Dave Renz, his visit to Quebec this year. Just loved the composition..

Enjoy your day everyone..

Share a smile!

chop suey Monday 9.4.17

field fresh tomatoes 9.4.17

Field fresh tomato, sliced with a toasted bagel, and 4% cottage cheese. I just discovered the 4%, in the past I’ve opted for 1%, BUT with hubby needing as much protein and nutrition as I can get into him. I got the 4%………now I’m in love.. doubt I will go back to 2 or 1% Just looking at the picture I want to have my breakfast all over again. (Natrel by Sealtest)

electronic arts 11. 2015 Darren @ halloween

This is a picture taken by my nephew, Darren Su, he is a wonderful photographer, who can always capture a figure or sunset in a way that shows it at its best. Seeing this picture again, was a reminder to me that in life, we need always be prepared. Not necessarily to do battle, but to seize new opportunities in a way that will be creative and bring our desired results .. this means… it is important to arm ourselves with stress busters and a healthy lifestyle.

9.4.17

Spend time with a canine friend. If you have a whippet like we do, they are true couch potatoes in the house… emulate their techniques of relaxation =^_^=

Remember – PL Precept #18 Each Moment is a Turning Point….

Happy start of a new week… from our home to yours… Blessings & Sunshine hugs.

eastwood, john 9.1.17 Here Velcro is smooching up to his uncle John. Velcro didn’t wait for a second invitation to get on the couch.. Gosh anyone would think he gets to do that at home too… everyone out there, who knows how Velcro rules the roost, stop snickering.
