church grounds
Perhaps the rain today is here to help rinse more of the dust and grime from the patio. I cleared it yesterday, actually finally tackled the corner where the outdoor storage items had been over winter. Took down and put away the winter decorations/plants.. and actually made time to just sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Wow. what a concept. relaxing in a lounge chair.. feet up and doing absolutely nothing but listen to the crows and other birds go about their activities. I even went out again after having dinner… and just lay there listening to the sounds from the courtyard
The fresh air, the relaxation… … I actually came in and went to bed for an early night.. my cellphone had been off, I turned it off when I went to church in the morning and totally forgot to turn it back on.
I actually survived the day/night without a phone… will wonders never cease!

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.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

a door
When is a door more than just a door – when it lets you in to somewhere you want to be, and closes to give you privacy. I’ve shown you these beauties before.. Was in Almonte the other day got to visit them again.
These doors lead to a place of spiritual growth and personal renewal.,
WE enter and leave through doors constantly ,. some we never give a second thought to… do we ever give thanks or show appreciation for the service they render … smiles… ok… just think about how many doors you encounter in every day of your amazing life. If you had a nickel for every door you have used in your lifetime to date… I think our piggy bank would be full to bursting.
Happy Thursday everyone. – Smile . . . let someone know you care….

Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble
You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boatful mind. Always remember to be humble.

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art
your true self is revealed in the smallest of actions
Your personality shows in even the smallest actions you take. Regardless of whether it is a minute task or a monumental job, put your whole heart into it.

jeudi
Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….
I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.
Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.

time
Time moves on – nothing really stands still
Think about it, even when you stop physically moving, and you sit down… your internal organs, your heart, the blood racing through your veins… It is constantly humming along…. your breathing will slow down, your whole essence of Being will slow and calm..
Let’s not even bring up your gray cells, that intangible “thing” science has called our brain … it doesn’t consider the word time..
We simply are... we seem to accept that our computers, cell phones, iPads.. need recharging, need extra storage, Pause reflect.. our bodies/minds need attention and care… When was the last time you did a personal update? clear your cache? get rid of obsolete unused and no longer required items/thoughts?
