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

Thursday

It’s true, under the blue sky I saw the golden glow of the leaves, waving from the tree across the church yard. In the morning, when I left home, I could feel the briskness in the early morning air.

The Chinese lanterns are showing their happy faces in the flower beds in front of the church.

I admit to a wee bit of happy anticipation of the weeks to come. The changing season… summer to fall… is a natural “high” for me. I love watching Mother Nature begin her creative colouring of the environment.. she does it gradually, first with a hint of colour, and a drop in the temperature of the playful breeze that tosses your hair. Some evenings the nip in the air means… time for long sleeves.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

Can’t you just hear that crackle in a toasty fireplace?

mardi

Mornings are cooler, I’ve seen colour in the trees, at first it was a hint of red, then an amber turned to a pumpkin orange… there is no longer any doubt, the season is going to change early.

You ready?

Sincere prayers . will always be answered. let’s continue to pray for World Peace from the bottom of our hearts.

Dreams

“Summer is over ” I heard the grumble .. I wasn’t trying to hear, but the other visitors nearby were unhappy at the prospect of a summer shower.

True the forecast was for off and on “sun showers” till later in the day, with the threat of a thunderstorm during the supper hour. But with the weather .. there are no guarantees.

Yet the group of sun “bathers” were so wrapped up in what MAY be going to happen, they were not appreciating the warm sun drenched moment… NOW.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

There was a sprinkle of drops, maybe for all of 3 minutes.. and it was over… People quickly packed up and moved on… I stayed .. enjoying an afternoon of refreshing moments with a sun that was warm and welcoming.

Summer is wrapping up, but there are a zillion astonishing moments ahead. Fall Baby! is just around the corner!!!!

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.

why

Why do some plants do well and others “just survive” – same question applied to other situations… do you find yourself asking yourself “why” some thing bothers you one day, and not the next?

The cats thinks we should just eliminate the word “why” from our vocabulary. To Quincy and Quinn… life simply IS… they deal with it. I’m learning.

I woke and thought today was tomorrow and planned accordingly, only to realize that today is not tomorrow – so I adjusted.

How is your day going?

Thus my post on FB earlier..

The best timing to take action is when you notice it. When you take note of something, it is a signal from God that you should take care of it right away.
