no tropical blues,
just simple flowing waves,
happily rolling in to cool
on a hot humid day
when no one wants to come out to play
it is just one of those days =^_^=

you are being careless or overconfident ..
Even though you may have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made mistakes. that is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.
Good morning dear friends,
Our surroundings play such an important part in our lives, yet, too often we put off what needs attention, or doing, till ????
I admit to having done just that thee past months, and now.. guess what.. aaaghghgh I have to clean up. It would have been so much simpler had I done it as the days went along, but no…. aghhhhhh hands to the heavens…. “will I ever get this right”
Have a grand day my lovelies, rain or shine, we are ONE. You and me… travelers on this road of life. You make it much more interesting. You do!
Life is to be lived, life is to be shared. Never fear saying, you care. Your smile is worth barrels of sunshine that will last for miles.

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes
Church is a spiritual home away from home, and a place to find your inner=self.
Service today is at 10 a.m
Reminder, At church you can have a state of mind where you are able to open up yourself to God and candidly share what is bothering your minister(s)

ps.. when you share your life with people you love, don’t forget to let them know you value them, that you love them. We only live once, when a moment passes, it does not come back for a replay (rerun) Love is powerful and enduring, be aware/respectful. Always. forever is a long time,
first two from 2017
remember these two
This is the same two now… (they will be demos for Multicraft and Gifts -retail)
PL calendar, day 19
If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it. Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

Fishing, although I don’t fish, is something I think would be a quiet, comtemplative type of activity. I have seen pictures of people kayaking along shorelines, alone, silently cutting through the water, seeing the lake, river, from a totally different angle. If fishing, is there really a need to catch or “hook up” with a fish, or is it the very activity itself.
My son an avid kayaker, loves to fish. Not to bring the outdoors home, but to communicate with nature in his comfort zone. The water is still cold, we have not had any seasonally warm temperatures..yet already he has been in swimming.
IF I had a bucket list, a lazy drift in a kayak would be in the top twenty. =^_^=
PL Calendar day 15 Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best”
Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best.

PS I don’t swim (son’s kayaks)
Everything in life is beautiful, life is a wonderous adventure, unconditional love is possible and something we are all capable of. Live with love in your heart, it is healthy and rewarding. Life will take on new meaning, there is a story in every blade of grass, and a song in every bird. God is love, and love is God. We are all children of the Universe.

Time was when this was bright and new.
when new it would not have held the same fascination as it does now
While no longer as it was, this fence still stands firmly locked in place. Its purpose has not changed with age. I have loved this place for years, finally the other day, I pulled over and visited.
I suspect it was provincially owned, I have never been there before, yet when I walked around to the back, I felt at peace, the traffic noises drifted away, the moment was pure zen.
This is my idea of a secret garden. =^_^= Find your peace today.
Reminder tomorrow’s Ancestor’s day service is at 10:a.m. Tuesday, June 11.

Working and living =^_^= go together – living in the NOW means you are interacting and being present all day, whether it is work or play, you are involved. by putting your best into all you do, the experience is uniquely yours. What ever you do today, enjoy it. Yes, really… do your best.
PL calendar day 4 – Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others.
Junho 4, Pense em felicitar a si e aos outros, sendo honesto consigo.

What to do, they all can’t come home with me. If you are an avid landscaper, flowers, trees and shrubs, you know, how cute and lovely they are when you bring them home, they will grow and spread out. There has to be an awareness of the long range “presentation” or you will be in for a rude awakening when they grow up if you have not allowed for their maturing.
Same applies in life with anything that you bring home that has life of its own. It lives, breathes and develops, just like you do. Even under the same skies, latitude and longitude, nothing will be seen or experienced the same way. Life is multi dimensional, the only constant is change.
Accept, Appreciate, all that is in your life. today is NOW, worrying about yesterday or tomorrow, takes away from NOW.

A cow waited by the side of the road, my mind began a conversation with the cow. I imagined that I was able to sit down in a field of clover and visit … just me, the open field and the cow.
How calm, how quiet my companion was. The only sound the masticating of its cud, and the swishing of its tail.
Yes, I would like to explore the possibility of such a moment. No radio, no sounds of traffic, just the environmental sounds of being in a field with a cow. I imagine that the conversation would be different with a goat. The two are very different.
