Live today filled with enthusiasm
Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, ay by day. live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Did you know needle felting is done with sheep’s wool, after the sheep is sheared, the wool is processed into roving… I spent years chasing after the product before it became easily accessible, when felting became a skill that was more popular. On the left is one of the dancers I made when I was with the Canadian leg of an American one of a kind Art Doll group.
I was reflecting not long ago on how now when I drive country roads, I no longer see farm animals grazing peacefully in the fields. I even thought back to a very distant memory when the first home my parents bought had a coal bin, in the basement.
Memories are something that creep into our lives when we least expect them to, and when our thought process is not always ready to accept or understand why.. they are surfacing.
In PL we have a precept that you see me use often.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
My life has been long, busy, and very full. I reflect at times, at how my life experiences have brought me to where I am today.
Have you seen one of my post … on FB .. where I use a sign that reads…
In my younger years, we made things out off whatever we could find to create what we were trying to express … or for instance make something we needed or wanted, because unlike today, we couldn’t just go to a shop and purchase something.
With all this technology today (and believe me, let something happen to my keyboard or mouse!! you want to see panic!!) are we inundated with too much…???
We are all so accepting of credit cards, cell phones that are carried everywhere, … let me ask…. do you ever want a quieter easier less frantic lifestyle.. do you know what it is to have a peaceful lazy day where you don’t experience quilt if you set aside time just for YOU.??
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter
Yesterday I had a moment of sitting in a tree, on an upper branch that held two of us… the moment was breath taking. The visual of that moment was for me…. simply awesome..
I think having awesome moments in this day and age… is utterly fantastic.
Here is wishing you such moments… everyone deserves them!!!

There was a time when we could enjoy quiet moments of reflection, when there wasn’t an electronic device in every room. We basked in the quiet of the day, we sat outside on the porch or front stoop and enjoyed the day/night. Neighbours going for a walk, or coming home from work, going out for the evening, walking to the bus stop, the pace was slow and leisurely. And…. and…. people waved and stopped to say hi.. good evening/day….
All that has gone away. I’m told that people don’t even have time to play, they are always rushing to get something done/finished/started. Hobby, what’s that?
I have been in my new home now for just a little over a year, it has been a transition, from a house to an apartment . I am still only now realizing that I’m still “adjusting”
Its too early to really talk about it.. but I at least have now accepted that the change.. long overdo… was inevitable.
PL#16 All things progress and develop.
This is the one I’m currently working on…
PL #19 Begin once you perceive

note if you are coming south on Vanier Parkway and follow it to Bank, you can not turn left at Bank…!! construction has it that you may need to drive all the way past Bronson before you can turn right! I ended up on Riverside.
Saturday
How often do you reach the cross road… do you automatically go right, or do you take the trail less travelled?
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.

A wooly face that always makes me smile.
Everything that happens to you is material for growth.
Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.
