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.
Have a good day everyone.

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!
