contentment
A day at the beach with your favourite people. Then a sound sleep at the end of the sofa while your human takes a nap.
In PL we learn to appreciate life, not only humans in the world with us, all living beings, and the material objects that make our lives more comfortable. Appreciation, respect are the natural fibres of/in our lives that bring contentment.
PL Principle #3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
Happy Saturday, may it be a productive one for you.

I say
*I say old bird
how are you today?”
the owl listened carefully
for the reply
Would today be the day
Chatty bird would get a reply
For he asked this question every day
and seldom got even a nod in response
“I am fine young man,” said Ms Tweets
“Young man, you say !”said Chatty bird
“You did call me old bird” said Ms Tweets
Chatty bird was quiet for a time,
then smiled, “I am fine Ms Tweet, thank you for today’s reminder”
“You are welcome, Professor Chatty,” smiling back, she went on her way.
“Now” is always the start of something new. -PL day 24,2014

prepping
Before working in a journal, the pages have to be prepped. Especially since I am a mixed media artist. I use different medium to work on the pages. I have had so many projects to work on the past while that I have lost track of time. I simply spend hours in the studio. This meant, pushing the Xmas cards to the back of the burner, while I prep* pages to work on them.
*work on the pages – doing backgrounds and then priming them with a Gesso that seals the page so the inks or paints won’t bleed when I begin working on them.
Life is the same. We commit to something then before we are done, something else comes up and we juggle. Choices pop up and we have to decide what is the best way to proceed. I reasoned that Xmas isn’t till December, BUT. I need to turn them in before the fall, so that the agencies can do what they need to do.
Am I procrastinating when I start something else before I finish another project? The PL Calendar for day 23 ( I know we are not where near the 23rd) ” Once you have set out to do something, it is your job. ” Job? I am retired !!! Then it goes on to say, Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses, continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.
Written words and philosophies can be so confusing at times. anyone want to put in some ideas.views, give me something to ponder???
Winks at all her readers/friends…..honestly, I really am interested. Yes doing this blog this evening is a stalling tactic. =^_^=
Reminder Sunday, (August 11) service is at 10 a.m. we will be doing the Ancestors’ Day ceremony. See you all there!

itching palm
My Mother used to say, an itching palm means you will be favoured with $ and/or something pleasant. YAY. if I am not to sleepy from the allergy meds, it will be fun. Another Mother memory is she said ear lobes can grow longer when you age. Mine have!! Message to self, you still have lots to learn.
PL calendar day 9 It is 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.
My husband used to tell me that saving 50% was not a big deal, he would be more impressed if I learned to save 100% .. Subtle … you think!! I am still working on this one.
Smiles and waves.. love and love and love.

Chop Suey Thursday
Why not. I am on a bit of a rant today. Where are all the farm toys. Where does one find a small John Deere tractor, OK it doesn’t have to be John Deere, any old tractor will do. How about an old truck, a hay baler, one of those thing a-ma-bobs that make rows in the earth …little chicken coops, barn, toys that help depict farm life, or life on a farm.
Is that passé .. I guess I have not looked at children’s toys lately. I found construction, firemen, police, lots of race cars, and space stuff, no farm equpment, or buildings. (second hand, and thrift shops)
Busy trying to locate items for a friend who is doing a diorama of life on a farm, I didn’t get to my doors. Sorry. Wait… maybe I have a barn.
After traipsing around town the last few days.. I feel like the door on the right. Oh dear, I just flipped open an old PL calendar, it reads.. Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Think it is time for a nap.
Happy Thursday everyone. Tomorrow is another day.

spaces
Spaces, there is always a place, just right for meditation
find a space, where you can sit, reflect and contemplate,
BE your own best friend, LOVE will never end.
The Universe is everywhere,
there is no where you can BE without being part of the Universe
.. find a place, …. meditate
start today, make time for YOU every day.

PL Calendar day 30 Lets’ listen to others until the end.
When you interrupt or interject your idea when someone else is talking, you will miss out on hearing the person’s true intentions. Clear your mind and listen carefully until the end.

hello…
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions and not upon our circumstances – Martha Washington.
PL calendar day 26 If you face a situation head on, a path will open up
No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through.
Happy Friday everyone, smile at passers by they will wonder if you are alright, but it sure will feel good. Some will even smile back. Smile, you are a winner!!! just for being YOU.

Thursday doors
Good Morning, these are the doors I found yesterday in my travels. No concrete cement sidewalks, no asphalt driveways, open space and blue skies were the order of the day.
PL Calendar day 25 – Pay Careful Attention without Overly Straining yourself or Taking things too lightly
Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.
