doors

Top two pictures were taken in Europe by friends travelling, everyone knows I have a passion for doors. (you think) ” No need to bring anything back, looks for interesting doors” There is never a shortage. What would we do without -doors-

Good morning everyone. Can you feel the change in the early morning air. I’m loving it!

Bonnie took me out for my first birthday month lunch yesterday, crab and shrimp linguine with fresh asparagus in an Alfredo sauce. It was ok, the company was superb! I knew I could have a problem with the Alfredo sauce, but I tried it anyway seafood and fresh asparagus… hey! (yes I had a reaction… but ah… once in awhile… some of us never learn!)

I am responsible for my actions.. sigh… does that sound grown up or what!

Have a good day everyone, for more doors from all over the world… please have a look at Dan’s site No Facilities, link below (if you like fun books, when you visit his site, check out his recent book)

Remember to share a smile today.

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!!!

Friday

Did someone say “long week-end”?

….. Let’s start by enjoying this moment, right now… I closed my eyes and felt the sunshine… it is streaming through the patio window. Must be time to “catch some rays”

Time to go out to the woods and “play”

Enjoy whatever it is you plan to do today..

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive.

Thursday

It’s true, under the blue sky I saw the golden glow of the leaves, waving from the tree across the church yard. In the morning, when I left home, I could feel the briskness in the early morning air.

The Chinese lanterns are showing their happy faces in the flower beds in front of the church.

I admit to a wee bit of happy anticipation of the weeks to come. The changing season… summer to fall… is a natural “high” for me. I love watching Mother Nature begin her creative colouring of the environment.. she does it gradually, first with a hint of colour, and a drop in the temperature of the playful breeze that tosses your hair. Some evenings the nip in the air means… time for long sleeves.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

Can’t you just hear that crackle in a toasty fireplace?

mardi

Mornings are cooler, I’ve seen colour in the trees, at first it was a hint of red, then an amber turned to a pumpkin orange… there is no longer any doubt, the season is going to change early.

You ready?

Sincere prayers . will always be answered. let’s continue to pray for World Peace from the bottom of our hearts.

Sunday

Reach out and talk to a friend today that you have had on your mind, but haven’t caught up with in awhile

Every day is a new beginning. Once today is gone, it will never happen again.

I received a text this morning, in seconds my world was changed. That is how quickly “life happens”.. Don’t squander your day.. Enjoy who you are in this moment, Appreciate and have gratitude… now is slipping away, I close my eyes and say a simple “thank you” for sharing this moment with me.

Dreams

“Summer is over ” I heard the grumble .. I wasn’t trying to hear, but the other visitors nearby were unhappy at the prospect of a summer shower.

True the forecast was for off and on “sun showers” till later in the day, with the threat of a thunderstorm during the supper hour. But with the weather .. there are no guarantees.

Yet the group of sun “bathers” were so wrapped up in what MAY be going to happen, they were not appreciating the warm sun drenched moment… NOW.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

There was a sprinkle of drops, maybe for all of 3 minutes.. and it was over… People quickly packed up and moved on… I stayed .. enjoying an afternoon of refreshing moments with a sun that was warm and welcoming.

Summer is wrapping up, but there are a zillion astonishing moments ahead. Fall Baby! is just around the corner!!!!

Wednesday

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???
