Thursday doors 10.11th

This house, property and all has always been of interest.  For years I have driven by, but never had occasion to stop.  This past week I had my chance and took it.  The former owners had vegetables and plants offered for sale, the door that now looks unused was always decorated in the fall with festive wreathes,and pumpkins in all sizes and shapes spread out over the grounds.

The grounds are kept tidy, but devoid of the charm and activities that once beckoned so invitingly to passers-by.  The door that welcomed, is now silent and forlorn.

Time passes, life moves on.  Do you best to make every day count.  The only constant in life is change.

11th of ever month, we celebrate by performing an Ancestors Day ceremony.  Through this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtue of our ancestors.  This includes the many people/friends/family that have helped us through the year.  Many people touch our lives in a way that last with us throughout our live time.

Today, the 11th. we will pray with gratitude and thankful hearts, and ask that their protection and guidance will continue.  So that we can continue on our path to live the PL WAY.

 

I will gather you all in my heart today while I pray.  Be kind today, smile, it will go a long way.  PL Precept #21  Live the PL Way

This is a new friend I met today. It was a beautiful day. A day spent enjoying the many splendors of rural landscapes.

These two beauties had me stop and turn around so that I could get another and closer look.  Life is good. Animals can impart calm.

pictures Q

 

 

 

smiling?

 

Bom Dia, Good morning…

When I saw the fish …my first thought was.. by golly, he is smiling…. he is happy to be sharing a meal with someone who will appreciate him.  Oh dear I see that is another fish on the plate beside him…. looks like there were diners who had to pick their way through that meal.  Hope that wasn’t breakfast.

You guessed when it comes to meals, breakfast especially, I am rather decided on what will appeal to me. If I ask my friends what they had for breakfast, not one would give me the same kind of  answer.  Right now I am enjoying steel cut oats, but I know, it won’t be long and I will want my noodles .. what about you, do you dine at breakfast, or do you smile, drink your coffee and move on into your day….?

Smile being the key word.  Begin each day with a smile

PL calendar day 8

Whatever you use, it will come back to you.  So use it well.

When you use money and things to their fullest potential, you will always be blessed with more materials for your self expression.

PL calendar day 7

Don’t strain, don’t rush and don’t be greedy

When you are doing something  you may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead relax and enjoy the process. 


I drove  today along a highway that was lined with the colours of fall.  It wasn’t raining, but the clouds were overhead, the sun was not out.  Still it was breathtakingly beautiful. I remember all the times, my husband and I had taken to the roads, so we could take in the kaleidoscope of colours.  The world is such a magical place.  Even though I have driven this road many times. every season, makes it appear to be brand new.

This Monday is the Canadian Thanksgiving, my heart was filled with gratitude, as I took in the myriad of crimsons, gold, greens and every colour in between.  I have learned that love, pure unconditional love is reflected in nature.  It is born, nurtured, and enjoyed, it evolves into a passion that transcends all earthly boundaries, till it evaporates into the Universe, showering the world with the eternal blessings of love forever after.

Thursday doors

 

Door, House of Damon, Old Jaffa

Bom noite,bom dia,

Buildings and doors, what a wonderful fascination for me.  Especially old doors with character. My friend Wei is traveling again, she loves being on the road in far off places, where I am content with the back roads here in Canada and the USA,  Back and forth to China she has taken to including side trips to where ever strikes her fancy at the time.  These pictures are from her current adventure.

PL calendar day 4   Enthusiasm will make things Interesting

When you put your whole heart into what you are doing, you will begin to notice many important details and your creativity will blossom.

Oct.2.Tuesday

yoda 3Good morning, bom dia, a quick doodle, or sketch this morning, of a little character that has caught my fancy.  You may or may not recognize Yoda, he was brave and intelligent, I like those characteristics.  Above all I appreciate creativity and  how when it is used for good, can do so much of a positive nature to the world around us.

Lately I have had to turn my attention away from watching media that  (in my view) is negative and confrontational.  We seem to no longer promote or share stories of goodwill, and /or positive interactions between the people who live on this planet.  We seem to see only politics, religions (all man-made) and use them to batter the people who make up our communities.  Our neighbours, friends, family, coworkers, why is it always, we against they/them, even within small units of people.

Watch the shift that will come, as the holiday season approaches, and the marketing  goes into full gear.  Then goodwill towards all will be played in the malls, over the media. glittering and shiny new toys and household gadgets will appear, Spend spend spend, then you will be happy…..right, till the bills come in

Yoda where are you, we need you now.. where are you with your clone troopers, come out of the fiction, we need you here and now.  Evil isn’t in the skies and outer worlds, it is here, living amongst us now,

oh dear, oh dear, I am having a rant. quick my coffee, get me to a store so I can shop, change my focus…… unfortunately that is a temporary distraction.  I still believe we need a Yoda.  What do you think?

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

Obviously this will be my mantra for today.  Blessings all, huge hugs.

Lego reality

 

lego harry potter fanastic beasts

Meet the Lego Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Mini figures, this set can be purchased retail.  In it you get the complete set of 22 Factory sealed character pieces.  If you decide not to invest in the whole set, and try your luck at  purchasing individually, then you have to take your chances and purchase a single pack, for 3.99 and hope you get the hero that you want.  Otherwise you keep trying.  I believe that the set in Canadian dollars is about 180$ give or take.

The figures are rather cute, the collector that I am thought,  I want one.  I liked the figure third from the left, front row.  My first bag, I got Harry himself along with his owl, my second try I got #11 (yes they are numbered,) the character with the red hair and green  uniform holding a tea cup. 2nd row, to the right of the other figure I would like, the one with the pointed ears.

My next bag I tore open to find that I got #6, he is standing behind the one I want, in the back row with the green plant.  So far three tries, and each one is  3.99 with tax.  Do you see where I am going with this. By the time I am done, trying to get the two or three that I want, I will likely end up paying for the cost of the full set.  but then what do I do with the other figures?

They are darn cute,  I see the attraction, my reality is, with arthritic  fingers, and often diabetic numbness that visits these same fingers…. I ask myself if this is a collection that I really really want to start  playing with.  Of course the one option is that I find others who would want to trade.  LOL.. somehow I think that the age group I usually “play” with, won’t have any interest in mini Lego figures.

Oh!!! I was smitten by the dragon and figures in Lego #75951 (Fantastic Beasts)  why?  One figure looks like a Chinese magistrate, and the other is a an older character who looks dignified with his white hair.  Grindelwald’s Escape, it is 132 pieces, suggested for ages 7-14.  Take the hyphen away and turn the numbers around, maybe……  the characters are Gellert Grindelwald, and the other is Seraphina Picquery  I did get it, how long will it take for me to put 132 small pieces together.  It is anyone’s guess.  =^_^= will I try?

Some people never grow up, I could be one of them.  However, where my mind might be willing to explore  the opportunities, The body will often give me hints on the realities of actually following through.

Day 2 of the PL Calendar  Be Forever Young and seek new challenges

The world is constantly in motion and never rests.  Keep your senses sharp and be ready to adapt to the ever changing world.
