Tomorrow, Monday 18th. we start a new week! Make it a good one!
What is “Normal” is different for each individual. Everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It is important to understand others’ feelings.

Value those who are nearest to you. It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

PS. the sculpture using driftwood and apoxie sculpt is one of my earlier pieces.
I close my eyes and sit quietly
my thoughts, come and go
I let them happen, follow the flow
I acknowledge and accept that my mind is restless
Perceiving equals doing. each time you notice something, it is a gift from God. don’t miss this opportunity to act.

There is too much being said these days
too many words spoken without honest intent
more than ever, it is important to know one’s SELF
Always express yourself with a bright smile. Strive to always be cheerful. A cheerful and open hearted person has the power to spread their positive energy to others.

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. pus aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.

I give thanks to the teachings of PL, for teaching me to love, to see God within me, and everywhere around (por me ensinar amar assim por ver d eus dentro de mim E em qualquer lugar.) In the pattern of colours, in the buzzing of bees, in the joy of the flowers, and gently swaying trees. Na harmonia das cores, Na musica a tocar, Na alegria das flores E no sol a brilhar.
In the singing of the birds, clouds dancing a cross the sky, in the leaves floating down, in a full moon on high. No canto dos passaros, Na folhas a goterjar, no verde das florestas, no murmurio do mar.

Today more than ever, we need to regroup and find our way back to Nature.

Doors come in many sizes and colours, some are from the past, some are still being used today. Like the people who conceived them, used them, doors are all unique. When the shut down period is over I hope to get out to acquire more pictures. 🐱
Have a “let’s do it” attitude. Even if a t ask is difficult, keep in mind it is given by God and accomplish it.

What beauties, when I arrived this morning, I was delighted to find that the Grosebeaks were all gathered for their morning buffet. Having come to fill the feeders before heading to the dentist I did not have my camera, fortunately for me Kevin came by mid day and got these pictures for us to enjoy.
Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.

Let’s begin today with a smile. Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover.

The past was not that long ago. Yet in many ways, it is a very distant past. How we communicated, and how relationships, friendships/work related, were formed, was also very different from how it is today. Who knew back then, that our means of communicating would be so drastically changed.
Today is the 11th day of January. Each 11th of every month, we in PL have a monthly service/ceremony Ancestors’ Day . Through this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors. When I first was told about Ancestors’ day and asked for more of an explanation, .. I was told it is not just family, but anyone who has influenced or been part of your life, contributed to who you are today.
It is only as I have progressed along this “road” that I have realized just how much certain people have touched my life. People that at the time, I did not (I thought) cared for or had any impact on me. Now I do see I was influenced, something in my behaviour or way of seeing “life” was introduced or became part of “me” .. imprinted if you will.. in my subconscious.
When I first learned to use a PBX, that switchboard you see above (picture upper left) I didn’t realize how it enabled me to learn to multi task, and gave me in-depth hands on knowledge that would serve me so well in later life situations. The Underwood typewriter, which was the typewriter that I learned to type on, taught me how to use a keyboard so that as the technologies changed, the basic finger skills I learned enabled me to fit in, in almost any office environment.
It is in accumulating new skills, & learning to use these applications in different environments that round off our skill sets. Every time we step into a new “situation”, embrace the opportunity for learning, we grow. Our Ancestors did the same, they lived, learned, and passed on their “‘gifts” for us to learn from, so we could live more fruitful and fulfilling lives.
Treasure each moment in time. Life is a continuation of “Now”. Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

The past leads to Now, and Now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each one.

Did you learn to type 65 wpm? Were you introduced to a dictaphone? Imagine the days when multiple copies meant “carbon paper” =^_^=

Tell yourself “things Happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it, you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

Once something happens it can’t be undone, nor should it be forgotten, we learn from our mistakes, our past choices may have given us unpleasant results. It is by accepting what it, that we can look at the situation with fresh eyes, then move towards positive resolutions.
Embrace the new day, Avoid being trapped in a mindset. Free your mind to consider other possibilities.

Top photo I took during a big ice storm we had in 2009, yes there was a lot of damage, that was then, this is now. WE (the community, cities/towns) cleaned up, we all moved on.
Don’t think “I Can’t” from the start. Begin by taking the first step, then you’ll be able to see what comes next and a path will open.

When I first saw this “capture” the face that looked back at me .. with its hands in protection or exclamation mode, said ” What!” “you’re kidding”… since then I have not been able to see anything else but that one personality. Right hand up, covering the mouth, and the left grasping the elbow of the R. arm.
The beauty of chasing the forest “personalities” is that depending on the daylight, shadows and the season, they are not seen. I don’t think anyone else will see them but you. IF you see them at all.
