Some days we just want to go back to bed
But
it is not a luxury we can afford
so, we get up and soldier on
true, when there is a will … there is a way
hopefully you will listen to what a I am going to say
Always be true to yourself – because you can never escape the inner YOU

Live today filled with enthusiasm
Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, ay by day. live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

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!!!

Have a happy day everyone
In the church’s March newsletter, there was a paragraph, that I think bears repeating.
“Money and material things are materials for our self expression What matters is how effectively we use them, how we use them for the sake of life and for others, and whether our way of using them brings joy not only to ourselves but also the people around us.”
Smiles sweetly at you… Ok rant is over for now.. this is Saturday morning, and we are having a long week-end.
OH, there is the beeping of a truck backing up… someone is moving.. in or out I don’t know.. hopefully the rain will hold off for them. time for me to move along Have a grand day !!!! I am working on mine.

By the way if you follow me on FB… I have started to put a mini post in the visual posts that last only 24 hours. I am enjoying the creativity of using the “characters/personalities” i develop in SL using avatars. and Eastern philosophy.
SL is Second Life. http://www.secondlife.com
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.

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

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.

PL Precept #21 Live in Perfect Liberty
“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!!!!

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???
