PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
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…
Photo by Dave Renz, his visit to Quebec this year. Just loved the composition..
Enjoy your day everyone..
Share a smile!

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)
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.
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.
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.

Church Garage Sale, September 16. from 8 a.m to 2
Ancesters’ Day on the 11th. service at 10 a.m.
Good evening everyone…
With a busy day, a stressful afternoon, and a stomach that was being quirky, I just wanted to zone out… crash in my recliner and daydream. It wasn’t happening, my mind just wouldn’t settle. So, I called my sister. She had just made herself a yummy lunch (different time zone) of freshly made Gazpacho with fresh produce and some tasty pasta.
In her part of California, they were experiencing record highs (heat) so she came up with a zesty dish she could enjoy chilled. Talking about her recipe and the thought of something similar I was inspired to get up and check out what was in my kitchen.
To my delight when I looked out on the deck I saw that a plant we had been nurturing for the last couple of years had bloomed. Wow… I had no idea, I found the plant next to a dumpster in the West End, looking very pathetic, didn’t know what it was, but I saw it, and another plant that looked like a vine, Liked the look of them so brought them home.
They have been watered, and simply tended. In the spring they go out on the deck and in the fall they come in. Nothing was expected of them. The vine grows nice big green leaves, they fall off during the winter, and return in the spring, no more no less. The one you see above, looked like it was just surviving, When I saw the bloom it was a real treat. I put out a “what is this” on Instagram, my cousin in Halifax replied “hibiscus”
Isn’t family wonderful!
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
We always have choices, we can dwell on negatives, or we can enjoy the positives, show appreciation and be rewarded, with more happiness and contentment in our daily lives.

Magical
Futuristic, a playground for my “Me” time. I’ve gone back to the gym. My favourite place, my get away Movati Athletic … It was time, I’ve been back a couple of days now, and it is wonderful. Staff have changed, the older carpet has been replaced, still the magic of the place is intact.
Having started with them back in the late 90’s when they opened, it was where I wanted to be. I went up to the co-ed floor today, a must for me, it means walking up the flight of stairs, there is an elevator, but the whole idea is for me to start rebuilding my whole over-all “body”.
My fit bit was very happy, I finally met and exceeded my goal that I had set for myself. =^_^= sparkles went off when I looked at my figures.. Yay!!!!
On my way home from errands, I went into on of my “haunts” and woweeeee I found a Madame Alexander Doll (2014) She was not in the best shape, her hair was a total mess, and all frizzy. Her body was scuffed and marked, but…. never having had one to check out up close and personal, I brought her home. She has been bathed and washed, and her hair cleaned, but it will be awhile before I get all the knots and frizz under control, IF it can be done.
Took items to the church for the upcoming garage sale, remember everyone, mark your calendars, September 16, Saturday from 8 am – 2 pm. 1010 Hunt Club, Ottawa,On. Church of Perfect Liberty
Icing on the cake… I got home to find a big happy balloon tied to a floral dish garden. Thoughtful friends in Australia, reached across the globe, with their love and healing prayers. Muah darlings, I will write soon.
My husband and I have been overwhelmed with the love and friendship that has been coming our way. This is a journey that is truly blessed in many many ways. We our humbled by the love that has transcended the distance of geography and time. Thank you for letting us know, we are not alone.

Usually Velcro will nestle down into his blankets for his night-time sleep. This is our boy now that he wants to make sure his “Mom” is OK. He positions himself where he can make sure I’m alright, and if I move or get up.. he’s watching and listening. We both miss our Canaille.
This beautiful gal is one of the whippets we visited the other day. Look how amazing her colouring is. Her top coat a soft fawn, with a delightful pattern of dots showing through. There is something very humbling about how a dog will engage in an interaction with a human. She is standing here with her trainer, happy to share the limelight with him. Unconditional love.
It wasn’t till we adopted Velcro that we discovered the world of whippets and sight hounds.
When we open our hearts and lives to new possibilities, it is always amazing to discover that there is love all around.

you don’t know why
but there it is,
you’ve been beckoned by a tree
it is just a tree you say
either way,
here you are
examining and wondering
what the message will be
after all, there is something
really special about the tree
look how proudly and
beautifully it shows off its scars
life is not always easy
for a tree
suddenly by jove
you see the cutest of faces
smiling at you
love at first sight =^_^=
always now I’ll know
when I drive by
my friend, the tree
will be looking out for me.

PL Precept #3 God appears through One’s Self
PL Precept #11 Always be with God
Yes she knew he was not real, of course he was made out of pewter, and the blue gemstones were not the best… or so she was told… then why did she feel that he watched her every move. She wanted ChenMay to be there, but ChenMay was not with her, ChenMay was in another part of the grounds.
She hadn’t seen him at first, and now she didn’t know what had made her look down. As soon as the sunlight had gleamed on his eyes, she had known to stop. She searched her mind to try to recall what ChenMay had told her about the dragon. The dragon was part of the Wizardology classes that ChenMay gave each fall to new Apprentices.
She looked closer, and saw the defined scales all over his body, he was majestic.
“Oh there you are” ChenMay’s voice drifted towards them, as she approached where they were standing. “You’ve met ” she smiled as she bent to pick up the dragon.
Leonie would say later, that one minute the dragon was on the ground, and the next he was gone. ChenMay bent down, and when she stood, the dragon was gone. ” I saw him” she would exclaim, “he really was there, his scales shone in the sunlight. ”
ChenMay would only say, “dragon’s play, dragon’s fly away” then chuckle and turn away.
oh dear, oh dear,
what a silly tale
a dragon who can be seen
then simply
disappear
can this be true
what need I do
to have the dragon
appear to me
are girls being girls,
or is there a story
to be told..
PL Precept # 20 Live Maintaining Equilibrium between Mind and Matter
There is a world of wonder all around us!
We’ve all had them.
Some more often than others. Days when we are going all day, but come the end of the day, as we prepare to shut down, we realize that things are still left undone, unfinished, or just not “jiving”. You might be ready to call it a day, but the projects you started are still in “hey, what about me” mode.
The next day I went out to buy the above doll an outfit of some kind, to cover her up. Looked, searched, and finally decided on an outfit that came with another doll, in the same series. (or so I thought)… when I got home, the other doll and her clothes, were maybe half the size of Jezebel … So Jeze is still naked. AND the picture, well, at the moment, I’ve lost interest. So it is still hanging around too.
Today was church day, on the 1st of every month we celebrate Day of Peace. I had made arrangements to take Sienna (doll) into have her ears pierced today….nooooo I’m not kidding.*.. I had planned to get her to the store for 9:30, but was reminded that the service today was at 10 a.m. I love the formal ceremony that we do. I always feel so at peace and “content” when I am not part of it, but sitting and taking it all in. Rev. Eugene was a “doll” and said he would do it all today, so that I could just sit and enjoy. What a treat, I soooo needed that “precious time” I could feel negative energy falling away.
The rest of the day, flew by, I drove from one end of the city to the other, even took the super-duper highway instead of winding my way on the secondary roads. Got all that I wanted to do, done. Came home with time to spare.
All this to say, there are times when life just hiccups along, we seem to be spinning our wheels…. However, we have to have these times, so that when it is smooth sailing, we know to appreciate and be grateful, for the blessings that come our way. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes the blessings are in disguise, PL Precept #11 Always be with God. When we stay connected, life is good in whatever way it greets us. Jeze may still be naked, but I sure do enjoy her “attitude” and the half done painting, well, it is what it is. Eventually I’ll use parts of it, or all of it.. I’m not concerned, That was yesterday, and this is today.
I took this back in 2016 .. lambs ears.. yes??
