Everyone needs a hug, a smile, a call…..
Be cheerful and carefree. Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t, just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi everyone. I see I missed yesterday. What an upside down day it was. You have all been aware that I have had this nasty flu virus for the last month plus.. Some days barely able to even try to be social, never mind thinking of getting up and going out. The last week so much improvement, I even (as shown above) went into SL (Second Life) to do some photography using the two dogs I found for posing with. The internet world of Second life ( Second Life is a persistent, 3D virtual world where users, represented by customizable avatars, can socialize, create content, explore diverse virtual environments, and even conduct real-world economic activities, functioning as a vast online platform for entertainment, education, and community beyond a typical game. Launched by Linden Lab in 2003, it allows people to build virtual lives, own property, attend events like concerts, and interact through text or voice chat, offering extensive freedom for self-expression and digital ownership. ) is a wonderful “adult sitter” when we are confined at home dealing with a stubborn virus.
When you re not having fun, could it be because you rare being lazy?
Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body, or work your mind to the fullest extent.

I went to church today, it was “Day of Appreciation” unfortunately I had to leave early, my body/mind said enough enough, I was getting overtired, it wasn’t even 10:30 a.m. yet. I excused myself and silently slipped away… came home and climbed back in to bed. I felt it was important to say “thank you” to the Universe, because…. even though I’m not 100% yet, I feel so much better.
How are you all doing? How is the year spinning for you so far? Do your best to stay healthy, stay home if you start feeling a cold/flu coming on, stay away from friends/family if they are sick.
Sending positive and healing energy to you …

It’s interesting because it’s different.
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset. “This is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

Sending happy healthy energy your way..

So many time I see kindness, passers by moving aside when they see you are carrying a heavy bag of groceries, wait patiently while an elderly person is crossing a busy lane in a parking lot, or a mother with children is wanting to move the children along when they are blocking an aisle by being “children”. What I don’t see, is a nod of thanks.. or even a smile that the kindness happens/happened.
We are all living in a world that has become indifferent to the hurry up attitude, or demanding schedules that keep us constantly on the move. I know… life gets busy, life happens, and we all have deadlines or places we have to be. Many of us function at times on auto-pilot, it happens. May I take this opportunity to ask you… myself included in this reminder… say thank you more often, and smile, nod, recognize that we are not alone trying to maneuver in this hectic day to day of modern living. A smile can change someone’s day…. even if is for a moment.
Your enthusiasm, will pave the way
Your enthusiasm will fuel your efforts and creativity, and will spread to those around you, driving new developments.

Smiles and laughter can be a balm on an “off” day.
Have a good day dear friend…. till soon.

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes
Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but, that’s the time for you t dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

Have a good rest of the day, and week. Cheers.

My sentiments. I have had this lingering cold/flu now for almost 6 weeks, maybe even more.. Who knows anymore, and who cares… I guess I do. However on the bright side… I have had a lot of REST if not always fitful. Come to think of it… In looking back, I don’t think I’ve had a real bout of “sickness” in recent years, So I guess I should consider this a positive. My body must have been or has been in need of R E S T … In my “awake” times, I have noticed that the cats are aware of my comings and goings.
For instance, I discovered that YouTube has these cat/dog videos.. Before leaving for my morning ritual of nature walks (a way of saying, I go into the woodland I favour to spend time with the birds) I started to put on the telly for them (since moving into an apartment)(reasoning that when I had the house they had 3 floors to run around in and explore)… I started out just putting on Asian music, soothing … calming… (I enjoyed it right) but one day I saw that there was a video for cats.. with birds and animals, nature sounds, running water, feeders…. well … instantly I had two very interested felines perched on the end of the massage table.. totally fascinated. So I now have two cats who when they see me getting ready to go out, wait for me to open the magic window. Amazing.. my cats have discovered technology.
Today’s message..
Your smile energized the people around you.
A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you.

Ps. for those of you who knew /know that I have been after the free Genus head being offered in SL (Second Life) Today was my lucky day, I succeeded in getting the female head at 5 a.m. my time… (2 a.m. SL time).. they had such a tremendous response, their vendor went down, I did get the male head the first day I knew about the offer and went in to try my luck. I will do a write up on the head later in/on my Virtual Blog. Meanwhile if you want to see the male, I have posted his picture on my Flickr page. (grid status .. there were over 30,000 people online at the time.) (offer was limited for only so many days)
Cheers, till soon.
The everyday things you do will show when it really counts
If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.

I am revamping one of my characters for a short story I’m doing.. When doing her face. I used a skin from a designer I don’t often use… I was getting ready to make changes when it struck me that the face looked very familiar to me. I know I’ve seen it many times but I can’t place the series she was on. So I left her face the way it was… and I’m building her character around the persona I’m getting from her. If by chance her appearance rings a bell .. could you let me know.. please. and thank you.
Now for today’s quote.
It is not fun to be stuck in one place
Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons

Cheers everyone, have a great Sunday.

the character was middle aged , she was not the lead, but had a supporting role and was seen regularly. She was angular and thin just like the avatar you see above
