waiting

1st day 12.14.18_036

Waiting for 2018 to end. What a year it has been, Major changes, a much loved story book romance, came to an end. Lost in thought last night, I wandered through the open doors of the memory vault. Each new day, brings me further away, from the day last May when I was left behind at the runway, my time not yet come to fly.

What will the new year bring, one will never know till the time comes. Meanwhile, the clock ticks a steady beat..counting down to what…

Chinese New Year is at the start of February this year. We will enter the year of the Pig. Tonight in my part of the world, we will slide into 2019, a little over twelve hours from now. If I didn’t know the time would it make a difference. Not really, my life would still be in change mode, and after a good sleep, I will wake to begin yet another day of adventure and exploration.

PL Calendar day 31

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.

possibilities

Is there an inconsistency here? Is something out-of-place? Are the visuals harmonizing?

This is a visual post. For sure, when I selected today’s visual, I FOUND for me the collection lacked congruency, Can you see it? Let us have some fun.

Day 20 PL Calendar – You are YOU others are Others.

You have your own way of doing things, and others have their way of doing thing. Don’t worry about what other people will say. Simply take care of the task at hand.

PL Precept 4 Being annoyed limits your expression

We are all blessed with an ability to see life in our own way, to take positives and use them to cope with the possible challenges/opportunities that come our way. Make today special, share a smile. It is yours to give.

pause pushed

I stepped out of the car the other day, without moving, I was lost

Sometimes it happens, without knowing it, I somehow pushed pause

so while the rest if the world drives by, children play, and daylight fades away

meanwhile, I am in pause mode, and here I will stay

Till reality and memories catch up, to my odyssey in space

Wakefield 3

no mistake, what is, is.

enjoy the process

xmas granddaughters

Good morning everyone, bom dia a todos..

Trying something new, with a new medium, I just wasn’t getting it. At least not with the results I wanted. Mostly I would get it out late in the evening ,just before going to bed, and have another go at it.

Last night, with time to spare, I organized the different medium I wanted, and used a different method of application. Voila the look I wanted, 1,2,3, the card was done.

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.

Blessings of the day dearest friends.

Thursday moment

IMG_1588 Ireland Belfast

A window that captures a moment in time

a moment long-lived, yet, now lost in time

Took a trip to Ireland, for this moment to happen

that was yesterday, this is today.

Today, when I saw the colours, I thought of Brazil

two places I have never been

Life is “funny” that way

in an instant we can travel the globe

never leaving home,

why, because home is where your heart is.

mine is alive and well, still beating strong,

the window is till in Ireland,

the moment has passed

but the thoughtful moment of inspiration,

a gift, long to be remembered

past, present, they are all the same, to live in the now, we gather it all, so that today will be an even better day, for one and all. You are truly loved, now and always.

thinking = happiness

Bom dia, um maravilhosa dia para todos noa – A happy start to the week.

This is me thinking…. yeah really thinking dec.3 18

When I am working on project, and in full gear, this is what one of my work spaces looks like. I used to ask myself how I could really find anything in what my husband used to shudder at, (to him it was just a mess) However I think my best when I see my stuff that I have out. My eyes take everything in and the mind processes it. My mind is my very own personal computer. It has its own way of computing.

I am happy to say, that over the years, I have grown to love my mind, and accept with great appreciation that it is mine. As an artist, we learn that when we create, it is our own expression, no one elses, ours. Certainly if we have to share our environment, we have to learn to define our own space. All that said, when I walked into my office this morning, I sighed with relief that my thinking space was waiting and ready for me.

When I do clear things up, it feels barren the comfort of being “in progress” is itching to get back in.

Remember we are all different. We all have our own way of doing things. My Mother’s one constant in life (to me anyway) was,” if people or someone can’t accept you for who you are, then they aren’t keepers”.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

Bed time is uncluttered. Open space, no distractions. Balance in my day.

Well well well

Well,well,well…

Bom dia, feliz sexta feira, happy Friday everyone.

What is with the well, well, well… my reaction to a news story this morning, where one police officer shot another officer. Well, well, well, really, I can’t go beyond my reaction. It is stunner, perhaps because in my past law enforcement was part of my life, I don’t know. I have been away from this field for too many year, to know what the climate is like these days. This is life isn’t it, we are calmly going about our daily business, when out of the blue, you hear something, or see something, that startles, or gives you cause for pause.

Life is happening all around us, some we hear about,, some we don’t, other times, it is right before us, and we never see it, or know that it is happening. But it is. A reminder that we don’t know what is around that corner, we know NOW. For myself, I know that I have to focus more on the now, be focused/aware, it is a fine art, and one that needs practicing every day.

PL calendar day 30 Use your results to make the next time even better

Whether things turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the net time.

ps. my sister did the above artwork, I had not seen it before, it was one of her first attempts at working with a new medium. It is so colourful and joyful. It is giving me a smile, hope you catch it and pass it on. *wink.* Smile everyone, it is Friday.

Zen moments

Looking out at animals calmly enjoying their time in the pasture.

Their only thought is to BE.

Not feeling 100% I took to my bed early, I thought I would listen to my body, and simply lie down.

Life has a way of getting in the way.

PL calendar day 27

Put all of your effort into the NOW.

You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but NOW

Bom dia dear friends, Greetings.. and blessings.

alexandria 8,4,a Good morning everyone, bom dia..

I was out of the city most of the week, travelling the roads…Gone are the fields of green, I was met with beautiful skies, that reflected the cooler temperatures, and the fields of white. Interesting how the sky actually looks bluer and the clouds whiter when below is a blanket of crystal white snow.

I love that the world is constantly providing us with an abundance of new vistas, opportunities and challenges. Letting go of what was, is an ongoing process of growth and new experiences.

PL calendar day 24 – Listen and See with careful attention and accept each other

Focus your “eyes” and “ears” towards the expression of others without any pre conceived notions. Then you will be able to see their true intentions.

Life is what we make of it. The choices are always ours.

Oyashikiri

Every new day is a blessing, each exchange with a friend, is a double blessing, for often through the eyes of our friends, we see a part of ourselves. Q
