Some say love…… well…. is a diamond sparkling in the sunlight

I saw this abandoned beauty and had to stop …. what happiness for the heart

Signs like this often send my writer’s mind into a fantasy, a story starts to emerge, and I am lost in thought. I know now after years of chasing rusted pieces that inspire tales of bygone years, to park well off the road, where I can sit a spell and enjoy my “wanderings” I am often asked where do I go, what do I do, why am I always out in my car driving the roads and highways. I am an explorer, of urban and country wonders that are most often not really seen by others, but for me they are rich in dreams, hopes, and evoke mystery and fantasy.

If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it.

Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goal shows just how serious you are

Bom dia, good morning..

The 21st is drawing near. There is a long week-end coming up. For those of you celebrating Easter, enjoy your time with family and friends. It is a special week-end. In PL we celebrate Thanksgiving on the 21st.

The Thanksgiving service is the 21st of each month. It is the most important service of the month. This Sunday will be a very positive and prayer filled day. Our church here in Ottawa will hold service at 10 a.m. and again at 7 pm. All are welcome.

Today – PL Calendar day 18

Things have a way of getting more complicated when you procrastinate. Work on taking immediate action and you will discover many ways to tackle the situation.

easter

Konnichiwa – bom dia!!

What goes around, comes around.... over the years, at one time or another, we have heard this little phrase .. usually it is said and then forgotten. The Universe is infinite, we never know when, or where, but the time will come when there is “pay back”

PL calendar day 17

Have clear goals and take appropriate actions.

Always begin with a clear idea of what your goals are. Once you have pinpointed the target for your actions, things will move forward much more smoothly.

With the nicer weather, more and more people are spending time outdoors getting reacquainted with the local parks and trails. Doing inventory in the garden, what is preparing to reappear, what has been lost or not doing so well. Each day truly is a new beginning.

PL Precept #19 Begin Once you Perceive.

PL calendar day 15

Live with firm determination, 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

Someone once asked me did I ever get tired of being a “Pollyanna” for those of you unfamiliar with that expression, it usually was used to describe someone who was always cheerful and looking for positives. I like being happy, and I work towards that goal. I sometimes miss the mark by a long mile and another times it takes only a smile to bring my happy back.

That does not mean that I don’t feel disappointment, and at times, totally sad and have no choice but to live through my emotion of that moment. It passes, meanwhile, my body, my mind needed that cleansing. PL Precept #5 One’s self is lost by being emotional Live the moment and move on.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

My love and appreciation to you all.

spring nick v

My thanks to a dear and wonderful friend, who was out with his camera and came across these new blooms. Spring blossoms are so welcoming, so darn full of determination .. their crisp green and vibrant yellows peeking out after one of Nature’s last snow flings.

Good Morning, Bom Dia!!

PL calendar day 14

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you

Always be mindful of the situation of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you, always think of what is important to them too.

Happy start to another day! It is Thursday, the week has flown by. Already we are celebrating the 11th of the month. Ancestors Day.

PL calendar day 11

Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you. Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

Nothing can take the place of good friends, they make you smile, save your bxtt when you think there is no end in sight and give comfort just in being who they are. I feel humbled to have such amazing friends.

When we pray for our ancestors and the people in our lives who contribute in our daily living, genuinely infuse each moment, with gratitude, giving thanks with all the makoto you can muster.

1, 2 buckle my ?

April 9, 2019

Bom dia, What a day it has been. Problems with my e-mail have been giving me problems for the last couple of days. After three attempts with the provider to determine why the e-mail was not coming in. and 48 hours later, they try to sell me a plan ( until then it had never been mentioned). It would only cost me six dollars a month, and they would watch over my PC and mail (they are the provider) Needless to say I was not a willing player of that game. When I asked to speak to a Supervisor I was told, there was no Supervisor, they were in a meeting. A Manager then, no sorry no Manager, Seems manager and supervisor were one and the same.

PL Precept #4 Being annoyed limits your expression.

PL Precept # 2 To live is to express one’s self

I did get annoyed and I did express myself.

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

My day started with my leaving home without my phone. Then discovering, that I couldn’t find my phone at all. Since I was/ am waiting for the insurance people to get back to me about the car, let us just say, it wasn’t a banner start to the day.

3 – 4 – shut the door

It is almost 8, I can close off and shut down, call it day. Tomorrow is another day. I am sorry I missed getting on earlier today, I hope you all had a very productive day

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Any one know the rest of this little ditty.

5 – 6 Pick up ??

It is all good, my son called concerned about my phone, that was a big “happy” for me. and Leon my bbf (wonderful caring dog) was happy to see me, content to snuggle and cozy up. What more can a gal ask for. =^_^=

Always count your blessings come end of day. (yes phone found)

Good morning, Bom Dia – Saturday

Making your way through the maze of details that need attending after an accident of a vehicle.

Insurance, claims, adjusters, customer service, sales, research collecting data, processing data, yada yada yada.

It is not a disaster, it is an opportunity for me to review my performance abilities, and use my creativity to unravel and get through the experience, one step at a time. Most important is that I do my best to meditate on what I can do differently, or what I need to work harder on to improve my skills/tools so that it doesn’t happen again.

PL calendar – day 6

Past, present, or future, always remember to be sincere and honest (to one’s self)

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.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

PL Precept # 17 Grasp what is most essential

happiness is

April 4, 2019

For me, mixed media 4.18.17

PL calendar day 4.

Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others

Always be true to yourself in your words and actions. Strive to make others happy with a sincere heart.

I came across the above photo this morning. I enjoyed revisiting it, so I am sharing it with you. Some expressions of mine.. I enjoy at the time, they are calming and relaxing when I am working with them… then… fickle as I am.. I move on. Each step leads to another. So maybe not fickle, maybe it is more, I let go and go forward. I just finished several small requests for greeting cards, I enjoy doing them, I sit myself down, focus on project cards. When that is done, I put the card making supplies away and return to my art journals.

Sage sentiment. Follow your heart while thinking of the happiness of others.

I know it is impossible to be happy and full of glee 24/7, but I do so enjoy thinking of you all living in happy states of mind.. Productivity, creativity and accomplishments filling your days with rewarding moments of pure satisfaction. Positive and loving energy to all. Share a smile today!
