April 24.

April 24, a date to remember, it was my husband’s birthday. Brian collage A day that celebrated his life. Now it is a reminder that I am a “widow” In May it will be a year since he passed away. His last birthday was one he so bravely wanted to celebrate. His courage and determination saw him make that date and live to say he had achieved his goal. He had his 70th. at home we toasted his achievements and his life, knowing there would be no more.

Over his years of being successful at his chosen vocation – broadcasting, and the written media, he thrived at being a reporter of his many journeys and many observations as he travelled the world in search of stories, and new experiences. He never tired of sharing with others his enjoyment of the many interests he had acquired through his travels and his career. History, geography, world affairs he could converse and debate at large.

Things that happen to us all have a meaning.

Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Each and every occurrence is a chance for you to improve yourself.

We married late in life, he was determined that his wife would be alright when and if he was not around. That meant, he wanted me to have and maintain an independence that would serve me in good stead should he not be around. He was so kind, considerate and caring, that I can say in all sincerity, he completed my life in a way that was so loving and dedicated to our togetherness that even though physically he is not here, he will always be MY husband, MY one and only … You were and are a blessing Brian, you are celebrated every day. R.I.P.

22 nd

nick mel backyard

Last few days of tranquility, soon there will be outdoor activity with the smell of the fresh new growth, sunlight warm on bare arms and winter pale legs. When friends post the sights and wonders of their backyards, and places that they can wander and enjoy, it brings me such a joy, such shared happiness. Friends are what makes our day-to-day so magical. Each one is like a jewel, with its very own facets and brilliance. Unlike an object, friends are priceless.

I know I keep repeating how much I appreciate and love you all, can’t help it. You all bring such richness into my life that I am at a loss to explain why I have been so blessed.

Blessed I am.

Day 22 of the PL Calendar

Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcomings in others Even though you may not agree with someone, complaining about it doesnt’ help. remember, “We are all human,” and accept each person for who they are.

PL calendar day 15

Live with firm determination, that “this will turn out for the best” Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best

Someone once asked me did I ever get tired of being a “Pollyanna” for those of you unfamiliar with that expression, it usually was used to describe someone who was always cheerful and looking for positives. I like being happy, and I work towards that goal. I sometimes miss the mark by a long mile and another times it takes only a smile to bring my happy back.

That does not mean that I don’t feel disappointment, and at times, totally sad and have no choice but to live through my emotion of that moment. It passes, meanwhile, my body, my mind needed that cleansing. PL Precept #5 One’s self is lost by being emotional Live the moment and move on.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

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

My love and appreciation to you all.

Happy Mar..17th

Velcro Guinness 2.14.19

day 17 of Perfect Liberty calendar

Have clear goals and take appropriate Actions – Always begin with a clear idea o what your goals are. Once you have pinpointed the target for your actions, things will move forward much more smoothly.

If you celebrate the wearing of the green, from our home to yours, we wish you a day of rainbows and golden moments to cherish always.

If you are like Velcro, he was patient for the picture, but much happier when his “duty” was over. Our “babies” are constantly reminding us, that altho’ they don’t always understand our actions… they graciously put up with us. Trusting that we will get over the moment soon enough. And we do! Cheers!

finding Yoda

I have only been introduced to Yoda in the last year. Although I had seen him around, obviously I knew of him. He has only recently come into my immediate “circle” of events, happenings and energies.

He is pretty “cool” I can relate, can you?

meaning – loss

2015b

What?? I don’t know, back in 2015 I saw this photo and was intrigued at what it was, what it meant, where it came from. If I found out, I didn’t record it, so in my files this is what I found, now Feb. 24. 2019

Doing a tidy up, I found a card a group of friends sent me when my husband passed away, “on the loss of your husband” Store bought, from the American Greeting co. in the States, I reread the message.

“They say life goes on just give yourself time to mourn, and accept and to heal, Though none of that offers much comfort right now with the sorrow and loss you must feel… but, there in your heart where you miss him the most where friendship and love never cease, somehow you know that he’d want nothing more than to see you find comfort and peace”

As I digested the words of sympathy my friends had sent me, my eyes fell on today’s PL calendar, for day 24

Things that happen to us all have a meaning

Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Each and every occurrence is a chance for you to improve yourself.

It is with gratitude that I start my day, and appreciation for you my friends who keep in touch, drop in, the distance, the miles, time zones, disappear, when I say I appreciate each and every one of you. I do. My heart sings with joy when you say hi… the like button, the thoughtful hellos, and cheerful input, the nudge now and then, all blessings.

“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. ” Nelson Mandela

a special tool box

57c7cee1a7d92af8579ff422bed20e57 In cleaning up, going through boxes, I came across a file folder from days gone by. In the file folder I had copies of a paper I had typed and copied to enclose with special little boxes I made to send to friends.

Special Tool Box, for someone important

Rubber band to remind you how wonderful a hug is, to give or receive

Tissue – to remind you to dry someone’s tears, perhaps your own, so you can see the tears of others.

Button – to remind you to “button your lips” to keep from saying mean things about others or talking when it is not appreciated.

Toothpicks – to remind you to “pick ” out the good qualities of everyone including you.

Band-aid – to remind you of healing hurt feelings, either yours or someone else’s

Candy kiss – to remind you that everyone needs a nice treat occasionally

Gold thread – to remind you that friendship is the golden thread that ties together the hearts of everyone

Eraser – to remind you that everyone makes mistakes sometimes that is all right

Lifesaver candy – to remind you to think of ne as your lifesaver, whenever you need to talk, feel free to come to me

Mint – to remind you that you are worth a MINT to me!

I can not take credit for this idea, I just remember it making the rounds at the hospital I worked at many years ago. I sat on many committees and being a teaching hospital, I also had to meet with peers in other hospitals on various matters. This little “piece” was much talked about at the time. Everyone thought it to be such a great idea. Finding it again, has brought back memories of another time and place. I also think that it very much applies to NOW. What do you think?

It’s interesting because it’s different

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “this is the way it has to be” and free your mind consider other possibilities.

Bom dia to all, Have a great day!

Happy Chinese New Year!

PL Calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting!”

Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.

“True Religion is real living, living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness an righteousness” Albert Einstein

It is very quiet all around me when there is a deep blanket of snow around every inch of ground that surrounds my home. The emergency vehicles are quiet this morning, the main roads and streets must be decent. Commuters who have deadlines must be either there or almost at their destinations.. The quiet of the moment is refreshing. Yesterday I had a sick day, my body dictated that the end of the lunar year should be one of contemplation and rest. I listened.

Today is a new beginning. In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art, I really and truly believe this, each day is a new canvas, where the possibilities are endless. For you my precious and delightful friends, readers and “family” may the Universe enrich your lives with the delight of new adventure, successful results and endless opportunities for your dreams/ wishes. And, the blessing of wisdom in the knowledge that love is with you, now and always.

In Memory

lexi light show_008

Rocking the Blues -My friend Kira loved the Blues, she built a club so all her friends could share in her passion for the blues. DJs from all platforms came to share their tunes, and keep us rocking to the many genres of Blues that are played through-out this Universe of ours. Didn’t matter who you were/are, if you loved the blues, shared in the camaraderie of the Blues Tribe, you were welcome.

I have been away and didn’t know she had taken ill again. A friend wrote me last night, we will have a memorial played out over the week-end so that all of us that loved her can manage to get in. All the DJ’s will have a time slot so that you can share in what Kira loved best.. listen to the blues and share and be with friends.

This woman was a rock for me over the many years she has een in my life. Her generosity and loving spirit will always be with me. Rest in Peace my friend, you were an example to all of us, This is not farewell, it is … till soon

Today, day 2, PL calendar is Live each Day filled with hope. (this was Kira’s mantra and motto)

Even in situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always a find a way.
