Express straight away once you’ve found it..”Great”
Proactively express about others goodness. It feels great to be told so, even about things you already know.

Listening to the pouring rain. The fire is crackling and blazing in the fireplace, there isn’t another person home, just the cats who are somewhere enjoying the quiet of the day.. Taking time to rest to just listen to our thoughts is a pass time that many of us put off. I am guilty of it myself. I am tempted by the photographic possibilities in a virtual world…or caught up listening to my lessons .. reviewing incoming mail. there is always “something” that catches my attention.
Yesterday, I had a “chat” with my nephew who is gathering information to do a “chart” of our family “histories”… I know some of you have been doing similar research, going back over family photos, gathering stories of the past moments in your family history. It seems like in today’s world (according to my nephew) it is somewhat simpler. He was able to (with a few clicks) show me a map of where my grandparents came from in China. The exact location on the map, so I could actually see the province in China and the little town near the coast where my father’s family came from. I could see how far it was from Taiwan, and picture them travelling from China to Canada way back when.
I sometimes get very annoyed at the constant barrage of information and images that constantly appear on my screen when I’m trying to do something else. But yesterday I was grateful and thankful for the technology we have today. Reminded me again, that there is always a positive to something that can be so negative at times.

Appreciate each person’s good points.
Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in others so that we can get along. (PL2015.16)
Have a good start to a new week!

I know I will be asked, let me give you the LM to the location I visited in SL (Second Life) The ambience is lovely, the sound of pouring rain is restful… http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Silent%20Melody%202/224/114/2520 /silent Melody is a lovely relaxing setting … rain
patters against the windows. Each corner reveals a hidden nook, a tranquil spot to sit and savor the peace to silent melodies, as the world outside fades into a distant murmur.

Bom dia!
I have saved this picture for years and years. I fell in love with this face the first time it showed up in my life. I searched out the kind of fleece, how it would felt, In those days I was sculpturing dolls/figures and wanted the fleece/roving to do hair. (Needle felting) To this day when I find the picture it makes me smile.
Please share a smile today…

Exit
When a fire alarm starts going off in your building before 7 a.m. and just keeps ringing that warning sound, ahh what do you do… Thank goodness I’m on the ground floor and I have an exit right on to my patio which is just outside of the courtyard where where the fire trucks are rolling in. Yes this is the day after a snow storm that has left about 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground over whatever was there before the latest snow fall.
Today I’m showing some of the door ways that I would choose to enter… to escape the noise and the confusion that happens when an alarm goes off in a Highrise complex.. (adult living) My door that I got open with some difficulty since its middle of winter and I have not opened it since the fall, was my patio door. Grabbing my boots and trudging out beyond my hedge to the fire trucks… Firemen were coming back from doing a walk around the building looking for ???
I still don’t know what happened, but I was assured, I would be fine, and not to worry … no action was required on my part. The cats who were taking it in stride, but like myself were not happy with the shrill ongoing noise. Took another 15 minutes or so before the alarm was silenced. I can assure you, it is a rude way to start one’s day.
If you have an interest in doors, today being Thursday, the link to the Thursday Door link on Dan’s No Facilities site, will be posted at the end of this blog.
Today’s message
If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.
No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through,

Since I was already outside, when I went out to find out what was going on, I grabbed my shovel and cleared my patio area. Not such a smart move with me just at the tail end of a serious chest and sinus infection.

Have a good day everyone.

Me, myself and I…. that is who I am responsible for and to. I am so tired of hearing from people that what has happened to them, is always someone else’s fault. if he, if she hadn’t done, this, that etc. what has happened to being responsible for one’s own actions. Alright, the world isn’t always fair, but it is how we react or respond to a situation that is important. If you feel someone has done you a disservice.. you can be thankful that you found out or recognized what is or was being done. You look at the perceived negativity towards you,, and move on, it has already been done,… you can’t go back and erase what happened but you can learn from it.. and move on. Your life is just so much more important …
I started this yesterday but I was sidetracked by a body that won’t let go of a virus.. I listened, and went back to bed and stayed there, Does anyone else out there use weighted blankets?
How has the week begun for you? I hope it has been a sterling start to a brand new week.
A winter sculpture, a promise of spring and new beginnings. Smile.. Nature is a wonderful cure for anything that ails us.
If you are going to do it, do it joyfully
If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm, By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

appreciation
February is said to be heart month. Valentine’s day is the 14th. Will you remember to say Thank you! will you tell someone how much you appreciate them… as a friend, a family member, even a passing stranger? On the radio I heard an old time radio program.. where the husband forgot to get his wife a valentine and of course the whole show was about how he redeemed himself. It was a comedy, never-the-less… it is a shame that we have to put aside one day a year to tell a loved one/friend that we care and appreciate them.
WE are blessed in life with friends, people around us who care, maybe not in the way you would like them to care, but they do care…

Sometimes looking out into the distance, I wonder what it would be like to simply be able to point and magically transport myself to the top of the mountain, and look down. I see the snow .. it looks so pure so pristine…
I have had friends who recently went on retreats, silence, meditation, they had to leave their electronic gadgets … there was no writing paper, no reading…. just… time…. and quiet reflection.
The world is such a vast and interesting place… and the people who inhabit the various corners of the world are diverse … does today’s technology make for a better improved world, or… is it causing unrest and strife.
