oh hello, almost missed you
I felt your stillness
it drew me back to you
sometimes in life,
this is something we need to do too
yet for reasons, beyond comprehension
we keep racing ahead
then wonder how in the world
we find ourselves in over our heads
thank you.. for reminding me
to stop and simply BE

Good afternoon everyone…
Bright and early I too myself off to the cemetery to cut back the evergreens that I planted there some 30 years ago. I had intended to take a before picture, but by the time I arrived at the cemetery the heat of the day was already beginning to show itself. Shy flower that I am… I went over, pulled the weeds, and gathered up the dead leaves for the mulch bag with a determined dedication of purpose.
How is your day so far? The hot weather is to continue on here for the rest of the week. Good time to stay indoors and work on projects in my studio.
I have had many ideas these past weeks, but not had the chance to get started. Today is the day.
How to live an Artistic life...
The PL Principles(21)are the practical guidelines for our daily lives. As PL members they assist us in practicing the PL Precepts (21) The 21 Principles are specific guidelines on how to live the PL Way (an artistic life) and teach us how to reach a positive state of mind, so that we can express ourselves more harmoniously and joyfully
Principle #14 I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working, nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
Reminder, Ancestors day, July 11th. service will be at 10 a.m.

It has been the kind of day, that I can honestly say – I am happy to bid it adieu. PC problems, with a television tantrum to test my already depleted unbalanced day.
However, thanks to solid friends, and an otherwise, sunny day…. I am able to chill this evening, and get online to wish each an everyone of you a grand spanking new day tomorrow.
PL calendar day 8 First accept Everything
Life is filled with happy moments, sometimes happy, and at times inconvenient, it is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
Thanks to my good friends today, I was able to practice patience and enjoy my day, when at another time I would have seen my patience, rumpled and creased. I feel truly blessed, I am learning, appreciation and gratitude is the fabric that binds lasting friendships
Without friends life would be empty.

Past, present or future, always remember to be sincere and honest. At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status.
Nature/Universe is infinite – be respectful in all ways and Always.

days like today, when the heat blankets the body and all else around you. Moving take concentrated effort. Blah. Only on such days, do I wish for a small section of water to sit submerged in a shallow area where there is a bit of a shade. and the water is lapping gently all around me, cooling and refreshing.
of course #1 choice, is to stay inside, where I have air climate control. No need to think about getting out of the water, getting dry, and finding my way back to the car. This too shall pass.
Happy week-end everyone. I trust wherever you are in, you are enjoying a wonderful memory making day.

anyone else see the sleeping face?

Door lovers, I cannot tell you the joy I felt when I looked into a jewelry case, and saw this brooch. Pewter.
I drove food up to the food bank some 30, 40 miles from home. I always wander around a bit and try to find something that catches my eye in their “boutique” or “home decor etc”…. this time… I felt truly rewarded. A pewter door, brooch. YaHOOOOO
PL Calendar day 4

sometimes in a world of chaos, we need not understand, there are far too many elements
accept, let go and move on.
PL calendar day 3 Instead of worrying .. do something about it.
It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, What if this happens? or Things might end up that way. Instead, be proactive and change how you see and do things, in each situation.

it was a restless dream
I heard my thoughts,
the challenges from various sections
of my overworked gray cells
the unfinished sentences
the words of wisdom
clashing with aggressive shouts
the voice of reason was not to be ignored
throught it all
a part of me sat unmoved
was this nonsense
or merely me
unable to make sense
of the prattle and the inner voices
that when all vying for attention
at the same time
make no sense at all
Q
PL Calendar day 2
Live each day with hope Even in those situation when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way.

Attitude, happiness ,kindness ,giving, respect, these are choices. Choose wisely.
