Hjelle, Norway

November 22, 2014

To dream, to wake, to live and follow the trail

always aware, always prepared to stop and gaze

when my eyes would behold the object of my quest.

life can be a dream, it really can,

one need only to believe, is Hjelle Norway so very far away?

some one else captured this moment in time

now here I am, enjoying the calm and serene

of this artists gift, of this captivating scene.

because a stranger shared

my day is blessed with time spent in

Hjelle Norway.

all because I followed the trail

and let God lead the way.

upside down

November 18, 2014

Oops feeling upside down these days, maybe life has given you one or two challenges you were not prepared for. Isn’t it always the way, if you lie there long enough, maybe, just maybe and germ of an idea will unfold….. or maybe

You’ve been getting that closed in feeling. You seem to be looking out and not getting out. That happens too. What to do, what to do???

Hey by Jove, I got it…. you with me? I have an idea… we could make time to go out and play. What do you say, huh? Huh….? boy will we have fun, we’d both get some fresh air, and…. well…. the best of it, for me that is, is we will share some quality time together. Boy would I love that! Boy ob boy, oh boy….. I really really wanna, what you say HuH?

Are you listening to the world around you? Do you hear your name being called, the want in your partner’s voice, the sadness in a friend’s eyes, when our world is upside down, we often think that God is not paying attention. That is not so, Always the “Presence” is there, we are simply not listening with our full attention. Value your intuition, when you have a thought or an idea pop into your head, pay it heed. Upside down might just be the position to be in at the moment in time. =^_^=

Ok, I’m ready now…. are you?

snowflakes fall

November 17, 2014

look up at the silent moon, nowhere does it shine with more light

then when it is shining down on you

the crystal clear water runs merrily along, unaware of your plight

cool liquid ripples, swirl and babble totally caught up in their journey

while you play and sing the heart broken blues

the bass guitar keeps time while the saxophone plays a mournful sound

and all you know is that your heart is broken in two

don’t despair, let the moonlight bathe you in its soothing light

stop, listen to the natural melodies of the creek as it makes its way

to its destination around and down the bend

let your emotions be drawn to the falling snowflakes as they spirit them away

soon you will know only the night

and the joy of anticipation for the delights

waiting just around the corner,

snowflakes are little gems from heaven, they are gentle reminders of the wonders and many expressions of God.

snowflakes fall so we can actually see and enjoy, the purity of change

even if it is just for a moment, they will gather and present you with a brand new world.

you, me, and the world we are in, are ONE…..

enjoy the snowflakes when they fall……

Love is another word for God, snowflakes with their unique designs

show us once and for all that we will all appear and then disappear

it is just a matter of time…

Snow is fun

especially when snowflakes fall….. xxxxooo

History

November 14, 2014

A car that originally belonged to Al Capone, became the first presidential armored car. (Franklin Roosevelt).

1946 the first bikini introduced by French engineer Louis Reard and fashion designer Jacques Heim, in Paris, France. The name of the swimsuit “bikini” was taking from the Bikini Atoll, one of a series of islands in the South Pacific, where testing of the new atomic bomb was occurring.

Honus Wagner became the first professional baseball player to get 3000 career hits (1914) Wagner was the original “flying Dutchman”

Godmother of Rock and roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, guitarist,singer,songwriter, she was the first artist to chart with spiritual recordings due to her signature blend of gospel with secular rhythms. she was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2007. (pbs.org)

History is what designed today, our acceptance and appreciation for what was, will help balance how we progress in handling the challenges of living in the world we are in right now. Reflect on what was considered then, to be very modern, or the norm, and the adversity and struggles of our ancestors…. In 24 hours, today will be history.

really?

November 13, 2014

Good Evening everyone!

What is it about the human race that we are always trying to be something other than what we are. When we are young we want to be older, when we are aging we look to doing things that will help regain youth and vitality. We are either too thin, our thighs too heavy, or one I hear the most, “I need to lose weight”.

Winter is coming, already we are hearing the groaning and moaning, and it really hasn’t even started. How many winters have you lived? If you are in a part of the world where it will be summer, then you too will be entering a new season. What are you plans for the coming season? Same old habits, nesting? catching up on your reading? The telly is already starting its many many adverts for the holidays, first the “what to buy”, then the where to eat, or what to eat. and then once the parties really begin, and the festive season is really on a roll, we will be bombarded with the programs, and adverts on weight control, proper eating, and the ever popular-digs at your ability to keep new year’s resolutions.

This is a picture of London, England during the month of December. Just looking at the picture I can feel the bustling activity of shoppers and feel the holiday “mood” or ambiance the shop keepers and city planners have injected into the atmosphere. On the other hand when I look at the picture taken in Montana on a snowy day, of a group out for a sleigh ride, I relax and feel and deeper connection to the “spirit” of Xmas, rather than the “marketing buzz” that the industry of peddlers has tried to wrap us in.

Turn off or cut back on what makes this time of year an unhappy one. Find a new way to reach middle ground. We tend to think that we “have” to do the same things every year, “because”. We don’t. We have choices. Yes, really…….. Put your full heart into making a change, you will be rewarded.

Precious Metal

November 12, 2014

Never too old to learn. You may have noticed my passion for vintage, retro trucks. It turns out I’m not alone in this love of what is sometimes called “precious metal” by the fans of Street Rodders, Pick ups, Jeeps. you name if its on wheels and it has a motor when I went looking for information on this “interest” of mine, except for the usual magazines on new vehicles and trucks, I found zip. Then after church yesterday,not having the car I decided to the walk a mile or so to the shopping mall. There I found a Chapters where I was delighted to see a section will all kinds of magazines that caught my attention. Canadian Hot Rods, The pick up issue. (Wow), even found a JP magazine (Jeeps, you have to know I was beside myself with happiness. Outside the store while waiting for my husband I saw a magazine called Bounder in a vendor with free reading material. I leaned in for a closer look, it looked like one of the pricey magazines that I had just paid for in Chapters. No, it did say Complimentary on the cover, I also saw that it had something in it about Classic Cars, of course I took a copy.

The magazine says it is “by- for-about men” The title of the magazine uses the symbol for man/male instead of the letter O, when it spells out Bounder. Except for one or two articles, I read it from cover to cover, the next issue Wheels Edition, will out in spring 2015. It seems that copies are getting harder and harder to find, they do provide a partial list in the magazine, but if you are interested, you might want to contact Brian Warren e-mail boundermag@gmail.com Bounder magazine is a production of Warrenty Communications Inc.

Ok now to the meaty part =^_^= in the past if anyone had said to me “precious metal” my eyes would have sparkled and I would have thought immediately of gold,platinum and more gold, even better encrusted with precious gemstones.

Now decades into my life’s journey I discover that under that heading I can put my love of old trucks and cars. In my research I also discovered that many of the boards I visited in Pinterest were hosted by ladies. There are a huge numbers of women out there with a passion for the vintage vehicle. AND for those of you unaware of who most of the designers and makes of the vintage jewelry were, it was mostly men.

Always in life it takes Yin/Yang, male and female energies to make a whole. In the fashion world, how many of the greats were and are male. It is the wearer that showcases the design, and in the automotive world, it may be dominated by the builders (often males), but it is the drivers who in the end determine the success of the product.

Learning can be such a pleasure, in PL we strive to find new ways to improve ourselves and to continue to move forward, one step at a time, just do it.. You never know what you will learn that will bring about more “happy happy happy”

May the Universe, bless and keep you safe today and always…..

Days gone by

November 11, 2014

The other day I drove past a small Baptist Church. I couldn’t help but wonder, what it had been like several decades ago. The town it is in is not all that big, and it has several churches. This is one of them. Back in its day, the town was active, and bustling with activity. There are still many working farms in the communities. Do the small churches still fill up and bubble over with the voices of growing families and animated children?

This is one I found on the back road as I wound my way down the quiet highway towards another small town in the townships. I stopped the car in both instances, and walked up to and around the buildings. You can see that there is a cemetery next to the Presbyterian church. Reading tombstones is a wonderful way to pass the time and take in the history of a place. There is something very valuable in remembering and giving thanks to ancestors and their contributions to what “is” today.

My journey that day took me past miles of tended farmer’s fields, plowed and ready for the next growing season. It was a relaxing drive, I found that my mind emptied as the landscapes changed. The beauty of being on an open road with a clear blue sky above, and the zillion shapes and colors of autumn formed a gallery of unique artwork just for me. I was on a natural high.

Monotone you say! no way, it is a master piece I say..…Never take for granted the food on your plate. Think back to days gone by, when farmers came from all around to pray in the small churches in the towns and villages. Working hard all week, then Sundays gathering with friends for shared community and song. Traditions are being lost and forgotten. Remember when you drive along a country road, to look at the vistas you are passing. When you look and see a barn that has lost part of its roof, and the walls are falling in on themselves, remember that at one time it had a purpose, it is a testament of another time. One that got us to where we are today.

I left home with no expectations, and was treated to a day filled with wonders, and amazing moments. I felt deep gratitude, the Universe blessed me with a precious gift. A glimpse of life in another time,, an appreciation of days gone by.

unrequited love

November 9, 2014

From the very first moment that I caught sight of you

I knew you meant something to me

There was something about the way you stood

So proud, so regal, so totally beautiful

I really wanted to see more of you.

For days I saw you in my dreams,

I spoke of you, I asked about you, I wanted to know all about you.

No one could tell me anything, you were a mystery

I persisted, I called around, a friend went out to try and find you

She wrote her excursion had not been successful

Finally I drove down the highway where I’d first seen you

Be still my heart, there you were, in daylight you even looked more appealing

I got out and walked near you, as I got closer I saw you were older than I thought

It didn’t matter, you had captivated and captured my heart

knowing nothing about you, and not being able to get access to information about you

All I could do was to admire what i saw

Yes I saw you had really lived your life at one time with someone who had really

spent a lot of time with you

Now it appeared you had been cast aside,

probably for a younger model.

Had I the space I’d take you home and let you graze in the pasture

With gentle breezes and flowers in the meadow

Somehow I know the neighbours will just not want you on our front lawn

I’ve taken pictures, and I want you to know

That although I can’t have you with me, you will always have a place in my heart

For now your seats are empty and you aren’t going to go far

but.. you’ve earned your rest the mileage you’ve put on, the challenges you’ve lived

have given you the right to call it a day… I hope someone else will find you some day

and enjoy your as I have.. I cannot bring you home, I can’t own you,

but by golly I sure can appreciate you, yes, just the way you are.

If I could wrap my arms around the Jeep to hug it, I would.

Sharing her with you is all I can do for now

Blessings everyone!!

the ticking of a clock

November 8, 2014

Loss and grief, at some time in our lives, we all come face to face with the pain of loss…. we feel engulfed in a sadness that reverberates in every miniscule part of our BEing. No words seem to penetrate into the core of the void. Vince Gill wrote the above song when his brother passed away, from his grief came a beautiful song that will be enjoyed for years to come..

Music is a universal language it has a voice/meaning for anyone who is open to the message. Interestingly the message/what is heard, may not have anything at all to do with the lyrics. I’ve seen myself how music will affect someone, and yet when asked how they liked the song, they heard only the music. In other instances I’ve heard people diss a song because of the words, they picked up on, their thought process never got past the words, At one time I wanted to share, so I tried to explain or have the person see or hear what I was hearing. didn’t work. We are all unique, just as no two people will interpret a dance the same way, each of us will respond in our own way to the ticking of a clock…

Just got a new clock (to me) I bought it because it looks like a retro old plastic radio clock of the 50’s/60’s, it ticks… all the other clocks in the house are quiet, i.e. on the computer. or are electric. There is something to be said about the rhythm of a ticking clock…. life is like a clock, it moves along a tick at a time, tick,toc, the seconds pass by. It is amazing how quickly life is given and/or taken away.

We grow by overcoming obstacles, one by one, tick, toc…. tick..toc.. Sometimes we feel that we are like a rock, we are going nowhere, we don’t see the sunshine, nor do we feel the rain, we exist. In PL we believe that we are alive, rain or shine, life is for living, we know sadness because we have been happy, the joy and passion of life is all around us, we need only move on to the next second on the clock. Trust in God, Believe, let go of what you think happiness is, enjoy the life that is yours and in you. Problems/challenges are opportunities.
