Bom Dia

It is cold and the snow is deep. Hard to sleep when the world around you is in a deep freeze. The finding of a peanut makes the day in a big way.

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

Many of you know that I work and create in a virtual world called Second Life. Applying myself to learning how to work with the new software that is used by creators is something that both frustrates me and leaves me feeling a sense of accomplishment when I can achieve something as simple as learning how to build a male shape and what is involved .. the bodies and the huds are so different from that of the female avatars.

Benz one of my male avatars that I’ve used in my digital photography was due for a serious update. One of the “wow” factors was when dressing him, the creators of this avatar line, have it so that when I change his clothes, if I have had to alpha out parts of his body so the clothes (from another designer) fit properly.. when I undress him, his body magically reappears, This does not happen with the technology used by the creator of the female body I use. This was a fun surprise for me… all in all the hours spent learning a new skill is rewarding.

He went from looking like this… last year… to the picture on the right. this is a work in progress.. but I sure am chuffed. Look for Benz to make appearances in the near future. Who is that with Benz, that is Q, she is the original avatar from when I first began in SL in 2007… she has undergone many transformation… She has firmly told me.. she is retired.

Sunday

All I am hearing yesterday and today on the radio is the hype about the big game today. Interesting when I keyed in football yesterday I got a lot of info. on soccer.(Soccer is called football in other parts of the world). Apparently the two teams playing today are creating quite a stir, The Chiefs have held the title and the Eagles want to take it back, they won it a few years back. Communication seems to play a big part in all that goes down.

Communication is important in all our lives. I suspect that today, everyone will be focused on NOW.

Today’s PL “thought for the day”

Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts.

Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

OYASHIKIRI

At one time I would have just said “good luck” but it seems there is a lot of hard work with hours of practice and dedicated focus on accomplishing team work... there has to be a winner, but I think from what I am hearing … it will be close… What will be, will be.

Think “now is the time” Instead of “it’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

“You can lead a horse to water – but you can’t make it drink!”

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. PL2022.6

This is February, the love month- you ready! L O V E … remember the song with the words “what the world needs now, is love, sweet love” pass it on, we need more L OV E in this world.

How can human beings who claim to be caring loving beings, hunt and harass a beautiful living creature just trying to live his/her life. For the sake of a picture and ???

Sometimes the struggles are real.

What is IS… and there is no going back, it simply IS what it is.

Flexibly adapt to changes, The world around you changes, and so do you. Enjoy the transformations and deal with them flexibly.

actions

It is not the colour of the hair, or the clothes you wear, what is important is the quality of the time you share when in each other’s company.

Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serves to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself.

Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “that’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative. (PL2015.30,2022.30)

Oyashikiri

Actions speak louder than words.

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. (PL2022.28)

I spent time with a small fierce falcon yesterday. He/she and I had a staring contest, he could have been as curious as I was. My cell phone capture the bird enough so a friend could identify it. I am using a picture found on the internet.

The Merlin is a small species of falcon from the Northern Hemisphere . Bird of Prey it is fast and goes after song birds and shorebirds. Falco columbarius

Countdown. New Year is knocking. “Shinnen omedetou gozaimasu” (新年おめでとうございます) —– Gong Xi Fa Cai May wealth and prosperity flow into your life this year!

remember

Listening to music, while the rest of the world went about its business, you could enjoy quiet time with your favourite furry… be lazy… and simply drift into a musical reverie. Last night I realized that it is something I don’t do enough of. Somewhere along the way, I allowed my activities to overtake my ME time. It happens. On Friday there was an Etta James night at one of the clubs I sometimes go to, it was a blues night, she ( friend who Djs at the club) was playing a lot of “old” blues. A lot of the music brought back memories of another time. Put me in a reflective mood.

Last night I was enjoying a plate of big freshly steamed shrimps (butter garlic sauce) dipped in a spicy Eda dip, with a side plate of cold ginger pork dumplings, and a topping of sliced roasted chicken c/w tasty skin. (Eda-yummy is a spicy kale edamame dip) when I realized that I don’t indulge as often as I used to.

The new year (lunar) is fast approaching, the custom has always been to begin in the months of the outgoing year, to sweep away old cobwebs and prepare for new beginnings. This year I think I would like to rejig my thought process and start reintegrating more quality Me time. I don’t mean spending more time alone, I can do that anytime, I mean revisit activities and “hobbies” that give me pleasure and add to a rather routine existence.

For those who began the new year Jan.1.2025.. how has your year been so far, notice much difference?

I have long known it is not the quantity of times you do something, it is the quality of the interactions and time you spend in your day/night. In the last many years I have been working along side someone who is a musician and plays a lot of instrumentals, (no words). I have learned to “hear” and enjoy music in a different way because the music itself allows MY thoughts/words to be part of the experience. Not a song with words painting the “storyline” for me. Make sense? any comments/input?

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook!

If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

Think a moment, do you listen to music as a habit, is it inspiring, what role does music play in your life. if anything?

Have a great start to the week everyone!
