kayak fishing

steve kayak, june 14

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.

lakeshare june 12

you are my rock  – there I stood, looking out, searching the horizon

I looked down – and there you were, just waiting  for me to realize that you were

as always, right there by my side.

lakeshore marina in the harbourthere is a world for us to visit, explore, discover and see

but you are always, right here with me.

what a blessing it is to be me

unconditional love and only love sets us free

PL Precept #11   Always be with God

Thursday doors

 

Some doors should just stay shut, and others should be explored.  A door opened yesterday, that gave vent for deep rooted anger and hurt to escape.  Fortunately I was able to close the door again.  But it is obviously one I will have to explore again, at another time.

My Mother passed away 2 years ago, my husband one year ago.  There is more processing to do. I give thanks for the blessing of friends.

PL Precept # 5  One’s self is lost by being emotional

PL Precept # 4  Being annoyed limits your expression.

Question, when your hurt is disrespected and tossed aside, my reaction is to withdraw, so that I can be respectful as much as I can of another persons stubbornness… Why is it so difficult for me to accept.  I am not a masochist .. I distance myself my preference to be to live in peace and be happy.  However, there are times, it isn’t that simple.  So by golly, shut that darn door, and leave it closed, in fact, bring the nails and hammer and I will nail it shut.

How serious am I.

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

IMG_20190608_091409_resized_20190608_072656891

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.

and there I was

me-and-me-june-9.jpg

having  a bit of fun are we

yes, and I am not out planting a tree

I am inside playing on canvas

bought at the dollar tree

one is of me trying out an idea

the other is a portrait of me

having fun, just being me

oh dear, how can it be

somehow they both represent me

I can tell

can you tell

which canvas shouts my name

of course this is a game

for both are me, myself and I

these simply reflect pieces of the pie

that will be me till I die

but I will never die will I

for I am part of

forever more and always.

Sunny Saturday

blogged june 8

torn from a journal page

a memory from another day

I sit wondering

just where my thoughts lay

on that other day so far away

where eyes that seem to drown in  sadness

were what spoke to me

while I was pondering

that day is long gone

I have long moved on

still, that was me,

at that time and place

I like it, but thankfully, today is another day

I am headed out to explore what comes my way

YOU are in my heart

today and always

acceptance and appreciation

 

chop suey Friday

Sticks and stones, rocks, brick, lumber, everything in life, is canvas ready.  each day a new beginning. Art is everywhere.  To each his/her own…..  creativity begins within.

I remember when I began landscaping in earnest, I would pick up driftwood, rocks cast off metal objects, an empty lot was a huge canvas .. one that would grow and give me a new “view” every season and year.

PL Precept #1  – life is art

Make every day count.  Share your beautiful/handsome smile today, Life is good!!
