a story, people,time,places

Don’t worry .. this is a short story =^_^= I was recently asked to go through long forgotten boxes (husband doing a clean up and rearranging in part of the house).. I got to go through several boxes of pictures. Pictures, tons of pictures, there was nothing to do but sit down with a box and begin.

What emerged were pictures of another lifetime,in fact ..many life times . People, places long gone from my present. Although I did remember some of the moments, if I’m honest, many moments captured were really no longer part of my current bank of memories, and most of the people who I came across would be total strangers to me now. I wouldn’t recognize them unless they came up to me and said, “hey, remember me…”

Like pebbles in the ocean

being washed in by the waves

daily our lives change…

sometimes the changes are subtle

other times, the change is drastic

shattering your life pattern

so that nothing remains the same…

the quiet slow changes do the same,

only you have time to assimilate

and are always on top of your game.

The memories were and are good … I realized that although at the time I might not have appreciated the growing pains…

( IF there was any) but in seeing the happy faces, and the recalling the moments/events/happenings, I felt really blessed to have had such caring and loving friends.

People change, friends drift apart, what was, was, and what is, IS. The saying “when one door closes, another opens” is so bang on. When we enjoy life, with all the opportunities we are offered, greet the day with enthusiasm, our days become more rewarding. Not matter what it is, what the day bring, really get into it. Put your heart into everything you do, don’t squander the adventures offered by the Universe.

When you go through a door, don’t just open it, walk through, and forget it, each door tells a story, make sure you leave your presence known. What will your story be today.

Smile – Happiness is…

a story that begins with a door!

Being happy!

I’m so happy. Happiness is such a good state of mind to be in. What is it about being happy that makes a day seem brighter, chores less of a burden, its a feel good feeling.

When we are cheerful, it affects those around us, it tends to make for a more pleasant day, AND everyone wants to be part of the “smile”

Yellow is a happy colour

Yellow makes me smile

Sunflowers, always seem to bring out the best in the day

Aside from running down the street

singing out, I’m so happy……

What is it we do to show the world we are happy?

When I think back on the day,

I don’t recall wanting to jump up at anytime

and shout, I’m happy.

Yet we grumble at the drop of a hat

or complain if something doesn’t go right

mutter our discontent,

How do you express your Happy!

St.John’s work (Hypericum) 5 yellow petals, is a perennial herb. It is believed to help with relief for overwhelming stress and negative feelings. It makes me happy just looking at it. Erect stems and trailing rhizomes. hmmmm share my happy?

When we smile and have a pleasant attitude, we encourage those around us to feel the joy and share in the positives in life.

happiness, mine or yours

Sometimes we have to decide

which path will lead to our own happiness

we want to please, or accommodate

but know that in doing so

we will chip away at our own sense of Self

and well BEing

PL Precept #10 – Love yourself and Others.

When two people want different results,

when the communication is one way

Then you must think for yourself, and do what is right for you

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in Relativity

You cannot change another person

The only person you can change, is your-Self

PL Precept #5 One’s Self is lost by Being Emotional

I truly believe that

PL Precept #18 Each Moment is a Turning Point

I retain my peace of mind,

and instead of suppressing a sadness/disappointment

I acknowledge it and move on

PL Precept # 19 Begin Once you Perceive

I can appreciate what was,

but I move in the direction that will nurture my spiritual needs

I want always to be ONE with the Universe/God

To love and feel love in my heart

PL Precept # 11 – Always be with God

PL Precept # 20 Live Maintaining Equilibrium Between Mind and Matter

It can be sad when friendships end,

but if you remember the good in what was

the happiness is always be

we don’t stop caring because a person turns away

love is unconditional

however, we sometimes have to accept

that the other person’s needs

were not something you could provide

you can only love them and pray for their happiness

an emotion shared

I would like to share with you a moment in history, it was a Sunday in early 2000 “I have to pause a little, reflect …. how am I doing?…. I think that yesterday was a day where I was left with nothing else to do but lie down and escape from the misery, and torrent of emotions that rose and pushed with a vehemence to break free from the depths of my “being”…..

Outside the sun shone, but all I felt was a cloud burst of sadness, relief, fear,anger, a jumble of emotions, erupted and poured from my “mind” like a turbulent stream running a torturous path. I could do nothing to stop the tears, the anguish…. it was simply a time to “stand still” in my case… I lay down and stayed down…

My eyes saw the lengthening shadows as the sun bid the day farewell. Then in the quiet of the room, there was darkness. Part of me an observer, all I could do was allow the ears to flow, the pain to subside.”

“How am I doing” that was yesterday, this is today (from the same piece written in 2000)

I’m sure you’ve experienced many such moments… everyone does at some time or other. The impact of such a collision (conscious/subconscious) is always a draining experience. A Jolt from above if you wish. The day after leaves me feeling l ike I’ve run a marathon… standing still.

There is no rhyme or reason for such “moments” they are part of the integral dance of life. I long ago came to accept that although I lean towards imperturbable states, the reality of life is “balance” one cannot know “true happiness” without having lived through “sadness”

This is not to say I was sad, or something was wrong, it was simply my need emotionally and physically to shut down, regroup, recharge, revitalize.

Sometimes chaos and calmness go hand in hand….

So…………”how and I doing” …. I’m doing just fine…..

I did my best not to change, rewrite, or even spell check the words I wrote back in 2000. . I wanted to share with you a part of me that one does not see often these days, Its terrible, I seem to be happy most of the time =^_^=, In fact, in and with God, I am very very happy! The road to where I am now, was not always fun, but it was one I lived and loved without regret.

Good Morning everyone!

Amen

There are more quotes, sayings and motivational posters out there then one can count or keep track of. The bottom line, and the simplicity of life is that we, and we alone, are the masters of our own destiny. Own your life, take responsibility for what you’re faced with, deal with it, no one else can do it for you.

Happiness is a state of “Being” and that is where I like to be. When I find that for whatever reason, I’m drifting from that “state” I’ve learned that I am the only one who can reclaim my inner smile.

Happiness is a habit I’m not willing to give up!

doorway to…

Wow… what would it be like to open a door and have that vista before you…. This is a doorway at the Church of St. Mary’s and St. Filllans at Glenfinnan, Scotland. I sat and gazed wistfully at the far away mountains peaks, and let me thoughts drift lazily across the water. Hmm what are the ambient sounds as one steps out the door. Are the rays of the sun warm enough to wrap us in a comforting embrace…. Is there a slight breeze coming up from the lake/river that will bright with it the hint of lush woodland vegetation….. Today was a day to daydream.

Doors, represent opportunities, some are locked and closed tight, they need a key to turn the lock, and others, sit slightly open, teasing us with just a peak inside. While some are open wide, and we know what we will find inside, or we think we d0

Even now I know, that many of my inner rooms have keys that have not turned in years, and that memories and emotions I may not want to revisit are tucked away, waiting… for a day that may never come. In PL we are taught to tackle our issues in the order that they appear in our lives. That is not always possible, if we live in the moment, change is a constant factor. Sometimes when we do finally return, we find that the wood is aged, and the lock has rusted into place so that re-entry will not be easy.

I like a simple life, free of drama and remorse…. if I have gone on with my life and I’m content and happy then what is behind those doors has come and gone in my life, it not longer matters. I know… I truly believe, that should the day ever come that what is behind those doors is needed,then I will find a way, to open them, until then, I will admire the weathering and aging … I will take myself out an open door into the sunshine and the happiness of living my life in the NOW.

Come on, wear comfortable shoes, and lets explore. Let’s begin our trek down to the water’s edge. Let go of the past, let’s walk hand in hand into the start of another day. Wipe the cobwebs away, open your mind and heart to the wonders of a brand new day!

self expression

Your environment and the things that happen to us and around us, are the materials/tools of our self-expression. In living the PL “way” we learn that it is with God’s blessings that we are able to freely express ourselves using these materials.

By doing our best to live a life that is filled with happiness and good health, we have to begin with the basics in life. We have to believe and trust that our connection to the Universe is a constant force in all we say and do. We need to strive to maintain, respect and acceptance of the difference in others, And, to recognize that hardships are the challenges in life that give us strength and character.

There is only one you, individual, unique and very special. You are the “artist” who creates the story lines in your “book” Make them joyful and meaningful.

Live each day to the fullest, never regret what was, celebrate the experience and move on. The photographer who saw this moment in time, captured it for us, what a beautiful sharing. From the state of mind of being one with God, we learn the path to happiness, how to progress and elevate ourselves to find true freedom in our lives, based on the truth, ” Life is Art”

Share the Joy

I looked outside my kitchen window today and thought, wow there is a rabbit in the backyard. When I looked again, I saw that it was the way the leaves were showing against the snow and not a rabbit at all. Interesting how the mind can take an image and rearrange it in your brain.

Seeing a rabbit, even though it really wasn’t there, brought a smile, and a happy feeling. I thought of all the furry little wonders that friends have posted, that led me to think of the friends themselves and my sister who loves rabbits and that in turn made me feel even happier. Joy can come from anywhere at anytime, recognize it, and appreciate the moment.

A rabbit sees a treat and checks it out. Someone captured the moment, they managed a picture..and.. their sharing in turn brought a smile to others. that is what sharing joy is all about. When we are happy/ and smile it is contagious, pass it on.

Sorry my sense of humour at times has flaws.. but I thought that the person in the Nederlands had a moment of creativity here. This picture got a chuckle from me.. and a kudos to the artist for doing something other than a snowman.

really?

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

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…..

Namaste – Oyashikiri
