I actually took a long walk around the bog the other day. It was quiet, the sky was a clear blue, not a cloud in sight. I took my time, treating myself to my own thoughts. Letting my mantra slip in and out, a gentle whisper .. I repeated it.. quietly, letting the sounds carry through the crisp morning air. I encourage others to meditate, make time for themselves.. and I am guilty of not always doing so myself.
Today at a concert, the performer was having a difficult time getting his equipment to function as it should.. sensing his frustration, without saying anything out loud or to anyone, I focused on him and said a silent prayer… He told me later, that he thought he would have to cancel, he’d been trying everything, and then .. bingo.. 2 minutes before air time, he was connected and everything fell into place. (nope never said a word to him… but I know prayer helped..)
I do believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking. I do believe that we are composed of an energy field that wraps itself around us, how we think, feel and act.. affects this energy field. I’ll go even further to say, that music .. which to me, is also “energy” can be a positive influence in our lives.
The bench you see above is at one of the conservation areas I go to. I pass it often. seldom do I take advantage of it.. I prefer instead to walk a little further and sit on one that is further in the woods and often secluded and shielded from the other visitors to the centre.
Are you making time for yourself.? . Are you smiling from within… does the smile on your face, reach and radiate from your eyes?
Here is song to send you into a “dream” space https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=MqgdQnu-Idw&feature=share It is called another Dance in Paris by Dave Renz featuring Larry Marshall
I have always (ok almost always) listened to music with words.. Dave has been introducing me to instrumentals. This is one he wrote for his Dead Drop recordings.
yada yada bla bla bla
raw white honey? butter? crab meat with garlic mayo? creamy almond butter? First time to use my made in Italy pan I found at the thrift the other day. You can’t see it, but the outer pan is lazy baby blue.
Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day. Each and every one of your actions can inspire peace within your family, your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to world peace.

I disagreed
I’m usually easy going, I do have an opinion, when asked, I have always done my best to be honest with my reply, if I disagree, I tend to soften my stand, unless it is something that really is important.
Today I was asked about whether or not our church should open for Thanksgiving service on the 21st. Contrary to what was said by someone who does not come to the church at all, I feel it should be open for those who would like to attend, observing of course, social distancing, and the wearing of a face mask. Because our members are scattered all across Canada, the actual numbers who can or would physically attend has always been low in number.
Those of us who find comfort in being in the church, some have been with the church since it was built. (the new one).. It is our home, our sanctuary . PL has always been unique in how it offers personal guidance responding to problems of our every day lives.
It is through consultations given by PL ministers, the personal guidance tailored to the individual character and situation that makes PL such a bonding experience.
That the question even needed to be asked.. (.. WOW..) Needless to say, I disagreed with the statement that we stay closed, … and I spoke out. These past weeks have made me realize, that too often, doors are closed, and the support that should be available is withdrawn.
Ministers are front line care givers. Not only the physical body needs to be addressed, now more then ever, we need to feed, heal and nurture our spirits.

a memory
The above picture immediately reminded of a dream I had years ago. Yes the picture took me back to a hike that my Mother had organized when she was a leader in CGIT, (Canadian Girls in Training) My Dad had come with us to share in the experience and take pictures. Taking pictures was his passion, this picture is much like the interpretation of the moment, he would have shared,
Canadian Girls in Training, or CGIT, is a church-based program for girls and young women aged 11–17 throughout Canada.[1] Girls who join the CGIT vow to “Cherish Health, Seek Truth, Know God, Serve Others and thus, with [Jesus’] help, become the girl God would have me be”. (Wikipedia)
My education began at an early age (to be of service, and dedicate my life to helping and being there for others) I don’t know why Dave chose to publish the photo in these muted tones, but he did and for me it was breath taking. I wanted to share this picture of his for two reason.. one because I found it to be so touching and poignant. And 2, I feel it will “talk” to others in a way, words can’t.
Good or Bad it is your mirror. Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

YOUR WORLD WILL CHANGE WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THINGS IN A POSITIVE LIGHT
Everything you encounter is an opportunity for you to express yourself. What you choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you.

HI. =^_^= Wanted to show you a page from one of my art journals. This picture so delighted me at the time, I couldn’t pass along the magazine or get rid of it. Finally I started an Art Journal, or a Junk Journal… in it, I put in the various ” art pieces” that have caught my attention. This is one I wanted to use today, but… didn’t fit. So adding it in a post script.
Life offers us so much that challengers our creativity, it is staggering. I love it.
I accept that life isn’t always “fun” but it is powerful, it is an emotion that transcends words, happiness is LOVE and LOVE is GOD.

positive attitude
Day 26 PL Calendar
Maintain a Positive attitude and wisdom will come to you
Worrying will prevent you from having good ideas. Stay positive and you will find a solution.
Good morning everyone. I was working on a canvas last night, when I found myself writing, LOVE IS AN ART……… ETCHED FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
I started to correct it.. I read it and thought, oh it should be said this way, or what does it mean this way … of if I change this it will read better. All of us who write, know this little editor in our heads. Then I had a little flutter whisper… leave it.. look at it tomorrow.
So I did. I have decided to leave it. Love is an Art, and for me, it is etched forever in my heart, so… see waiting sometimes, is “good”

Tranquility
Tranquility is where we find it. We recognize the moment that the world around us is blanketed with the right harmony of visual, audio and sensual input.
This view of the world through the lens of Dr.Enz (PA) a musician who has taken up photography as another way of expressing his passions. I have permission to share some of his works with you. Hope you enjoy. The soft greens and the reflection in the water came together beautifully. For me, it was/is visual music.
Not everyone will share my pleasure, and that is what makes life interesting.
Appreciate the differences in others, you don’t have to agree, but you can perhaps learn to understand.
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and Others.

Appreciation -Gratitude
Meet Luna, my feel good therapist from the USA. She is a Portuguese Water Dog with an extraordinary ability to make people smile. She has an amazing number of followers who enjoy her daily antics, and her vibrant personality. Of course her human “Mom” does the talking for her, but her eyes and body language I can assure you let us know who the “real” boss is. She is so “darling” that she has an almost full time job modeling canine attire for different companies.
Her full-time job of course is her daily attitude of “Life is good! Let me show you just how good it is” She will patiently sit, and looking directly at the camera will dare you to not smile for her. I would show you her full face, but don’t know if you can stand her cuteness. She is a personality on Instagram tho’…. if you are on Instagram, check her out. lunatheportie 🐱
I appreciate her nature, her being there in living colour, because she always makes me smile. Thank you to “human” mom too….
The other day while driving home, I noticed that a postal van had slowed down going in the opposite direction. I looked over since I was stopped for a red light, and found a face looking back at me.. when our eyes connected, he smiled, no more, no less… I smiled back, and just like that.. it was a brighter day.
Everyday, I look for happiness, I like to share happy moments with friends, and people I meet, or come across in my daily travels. In PL we have 21 Principles we use as guidelines to help us live a better and happier life.
PL Principle #3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things, is a favourite of mine.
PL Principle #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning This one I find very important, if I start my day with a happy heart, I am more likely to have a much more effective and productive day. Why… because I choose to be happy and enjoy whatever the day brings my way.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art – you hear me say this over and over… every day is a brand new canvas.. own it…
Photo by Dave Renz, his visit to Quebec this year. Just loved the composition..
Enjoy your day everyone..
Share a smile!
