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?

Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated

Flexibly adapt to changes

When you find yourself overwhelmed, stop what you are doing, take a step back, and breathe!

The best timing is when you notice — when you notice something, it is God sending you a message. Act right away so you don’t miss good timing.

PL2022

Yesterday I found myself in a state of “what is going on”… everything I started doing, seemed to be “”oh no!” the festival I wanted to attend didn’t happen… I tried to find my own way there, but the directions I got were not accurate, .. the directions came from an American source, and the highway number I was given was incorrect.. I knew I should be merging to the left, but the hwy number they were giving me was wrong, that highway was to the right.. at that exact moment of trying to merge in five lanes of traffic three going in one direction and two in another, my phone began ringing with a LD call.

Needless to say.. I ended up.. getting off the highway so that I could safely determine which way was which. By the time I found a safe place to pull over… I had decided.. enough .. was enough..

I have wanted to go to this festival for several years now.. it is big, huge event (a yarn, roving, wool, etc. outdoor event that is one of the best ever!!!) I had waited for my friend to give me the co-ordinates, I guessed finally after waiting for days for the info. that it wasn’t going to arrive.. that is why I turned to google maps. SIGH….

The disappointment will pass. Even the cat felt the moment with me.

Today is the 8th day of the 8 th. month,

It is now 8 a.m. on the 8th day of the 8th month. In Numerology 888 .. infinity symbol..dates like August 8th. compound this energy of balance, success and infinite potential.

In Biblical symbolism 8 represents a fresh start, resurrection and new beginnings.

So………………. I’m thinking……………… this is going to be a great day!

Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement

If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for shortcomings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.

PL2016

Finding gratitude – connect to the moment. Give voice to your needs, soak in life’s little gifts… we live in a society that obsesses over physical appearance and fitness… it is essential to confront the self critic that lives within us all.

Friends can spend time in silence… just being together is what makes the moment “happen”

Actions speak louder than words.

My cats watching television. I wonder at times what they are thinking as they watch the birds, squirrels, bunnies and other wild critters go about their business of searching for food on the telly . They sit at the patio doors and look out to the courtyard as well. I took a page from their lives yesterday, and took a day off. I let the world go by, and you know what. it survived without me, and I got along just fine.

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.
