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.

There are days when we feel lost and alone

Days when you wander from chore to chore,

wondering if there is anything anywhere that will lighten the load

There MUST be more…..

That is when you realize you are not alone…..

Can you see???

In PL. PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

on my flickr, I posted the same picture with a different lighting if you can’t make out the background.. might help…. (wicked gleam and laugh)

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.

Monday

I took this one day… while I stood in an empty parking lot, looking up . I was suddenly visited by a passing bird. These birds have a wonderful way of soaring across open skies drifting on currents.

I woke up today, thinking, I should go back to the parking lot..not that the bird will magically reappear … but to touch base with the woman I was when I went to that same part of the forest every day for almost 10 years. (maybe more)

Don’t know about you. but years have worn something down in me. I can’t yet define what that exact change is.. but I know…deep down inside, that there is a part of me that no longer, sees “life” the same way.

Over the years I have said goodbye to so many of my dearest and closest friends…. FB keeps sending us reminders, memories… it’s fun, sometimes.. but… really…. today… this moment… now… this is where I am and what I have to deal with …

i.e. I just had a moment of wishing that could still hit a key and a word would underline.. anyone else remember that function. It was a common feature, we had it in all word processing software./features. Not now. Some “genius” who probably never wrote for a living or loved using the written word to communicate… decided, he/she seldom used that feature, so obviously the rest of the world didn’t need it either.

and please, don’t get me started on the # of people in the world who can’t really read or write properly .. never mind.. how to do simply addition.

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.. time to find my way down to the car and a patch of woodland….. have a good day everyone.. here is your thought for the day

Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement

If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for the short comings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.

Finding gratitude – connect to the moment. Give voice to your needs, soak in life’s little gifts… we live in a society that obsesses over physical appearance and fitness… it is essential to confront the self critic that lives within us all.

Young or old, we should never stop moving, sharing, laughing, exploring, discovering and expressing our individuality. Life is to be lived.

Don’t let someone else, or some”thing” , rain on your parade.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

music

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

Have a good day everyone!

Surroundings reflect your state of mind

Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

PL 2015

Closing your eyes and listening to music that is simply a melody that drifts in and floats around you….can inspire new vision.

Sometimes we need to choose silence over words

Choose silence over performance

Samedi

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes

Put aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.

PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.
