adventures in a corn field
Being a city girl, I would never have thought of playing in a corn field, yet I now know that many a youngster has spent many hours discovering a wonderful play haven in the tall passage ways found in the corn fields. When I saw this picture the writer in me wanted to weave a story of the little fairies and trolls who made summer homes under the plants, enjoying the shade the leaves and husks provided. That would have been fun, but a distraction from the task at hand.
We are told in PL that life will take on a greater dimension when we are able to perceive our surroundings with more ” sensitivity”. So as I start my day with my visit with you, I ponder, on whether or not I meander down the road for a while, or focus on my “list” of “things I should do” today.
OH.. hello a new face, a new possibility, well what a nice surprise. What can I learn from you, would you like to come closer, wow a face to face with a cow, Now that brings a smile, a new experience I wasn’t expecting. what fun.
Look for new ways to learn and add knowledge/experiences…. the seasons come and go before we know it, another year has gone by. Make each day count. Cultivate new possibilities with a positive outlook.

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!

lazy >< motivation
What if I feel like having the best darn lazy afternoon i can have. Objective, doing only what makes me feel sinfully lazy, resting in a chair, feet up, with nothing but a good book, or better still, closing my eyes and enjoying the sound of nothing in particular.
Why, must I feel that I should be motivated to do something, like wash the bathroom floor, or dust the cobwebs from the ceiling. Or, motivated to answer a phone because it is ringing. We are often compelled to respond to the “need of others” rather than to listen to our inner voice, to chill/relax and to let our own thoughts and feelings take their time to materialize.
I have no problem doing this…. do you?

Bonjour , hallo..13th
I’m not going to add to this… for today, I will meditate and cogitate on this one. It is a big lesson and one that I have not mastered yet. It is another beautiful day, therefore, it is a perfect day to reflect on why I find this lesson so difficult to follow through on. Intellectually I understand … hmmm is my mind being lazy again?
Perhaps this will be a tad bit more motivational… the kitty picture has me wanting to go find a sunny spot to curl up on a cushion and go back to sleep, or grab a short nap.
Yes this is better I might not manage a stretch like that…. but I can sure do my own version of a good long stretch.. hmmm just thinking about it has me motivated to go look for my exercise mat.
Have a good day dear friend, drink lots of water, eat your crunchy veggies, and see you soon, Smile it is contagious.

Buen dia, Bonjour,Merhaba,Buongiorno
Hello, Hallo greetings to you in every way! Isn’t it a lovely day, we had a new blanket of snow over night. Everything looks so “winter wonderland” white! Looking out this morning, it was hard to imagine the trees with their fall colours of crimson, gold and multiple shades of russet and fading greens .Being that we are already into January, the days are getting longer, and soon, yes soon, in a couple of months the same trees that are looking like wooden bark sculptures of gray/browns dipped in crisp white snow crystals, will be showing off their new dressings of mint & apple greens, buds of tender pale shoots will be breaking through the branches that will have soaked up the nurturing rays of the sun, providing them with the nutrients they need to open up to their full splendor.
The PL calendar today, is about not being swayed by the past. It says ” It is what you do from now on that count” Another way of saying to live in the moment. So much time is often spent on dwelling what was, or what could be, and again, if only…. We can’t relive the past, but we have every opportunity to make each day a day we will enjoy so that come end of day, we feel that it was a day well spent.
The internet is abundant in quotes and sayings. Where do they all come from. Some are very good and thought-provoking, others…. Again it is all in the eye of the beholder isn’t it. Today I plan on having a great day… what about you!!
This is not my back yard… LOL…. but I sure wish I could gaze on this vista with my own eyes. Be there, to hear the water cold and clear slowly make its way over the rocks. New Zealand, the more I see of this beautiful country, the more I want to explore. Maybe someday. Who knows. Meanwhile, thanks to you, I get to research and find destinations, we can visually enjoy from our desks. Life is for sharing, thank you all for allowing me into your homes, I so appreciate you all.

Second chances
No matter how hard life can seem at times, face it head on. Live in the present, deal with today, every moment is a chance to approach the challenge in an artistic way. If you have already tried to deal with it one way, and that way didn’t satisfy your requirements, then re-evaluate the situation. If it involves someone else, or others, then you have to really understand your motivation for the change(s). The only person you can change is yourself. You can present options, and suggest when it comes to others, but you yourself cannot change them. They might try to change for you, but it will be short lived, if it is not something that they themselves really want to do..
Second chances, when you ask about how others feel about second chances, you get mixed responses. Some feel that there is no such thing as a second chance, you either work out a situation or you move on, the world is full of new beginnings. Others will say, if you are given a second chance it is because the first time, was the wrong time. Tao, belief is that there is always Yin/Yang in life. Two sides to a coin if you will. I have found that in life, we flow from one side to the other, that is our “Divine” gift. The Universe balances our lives with rain, sunshine, clouds and clear skies. When we make time to reflect/pray/meditate, we find the beauty in our lives, and appreciate them for what they are, “moments in time”…. Good Day Everyone… may your day be blessed with love and activities that make for happy memories. Oyashikiri
The skills and patience, the eye of the photographer, never cease to amaze and delight. Often the photographer is not listed, I hope that they eventually get to see just how much their “art” is appreciated and enjoyed.

Rules – Good morning everyone!
Look at the dog’s eyes, I can almost hear him/her asking his mistress “really, did I sign up for this”, this is what you want me to do?” Meanwhile the little cuddly friend is happily drinking from the bottle and thinking only of how yummy, delicious it is. This is a wonderful picture. I send an enormous thank you to the artist that put the energy and creativity into bringing it to us. It brought a smile to my day and for sure, to millions of others who saw and delighted in the composition. Before social media, we were still able to come up with such clever ideas, and take pictures to show our friends and family But we couldn’t share like we do today, we didn’t have the tools to allow total strangers all over the world to share in our creative moment.
Yes we still had artistic expression, we still lived our lives moment by moment, we did our chores, played, worked and played some more, but the element of having our creativity, thoughts,dreams and expressions on display for all to see… well …. that was unknown. Until…. someone somewhere broke a rule, or stepped outside a box and brought new potential and far reaching ideas into tangible possibilities. There is a joy in being creative. Every day I see friends who live miles and sometimes continents apart sharing their day and thoughts with friends they’ve met in virtual worlds, on Facebook, in games.. and it is not just inane chatter, often is is meaningful, supportive and caring.
While we live in a world where there is a framework of laws, morals and rules to follow, the keyword here is framework…. when Divine Spirit is our constant companion and we are always in touch, (connected) love is our motivation,world peace and inner joy our goal, then a rule is a man made what? guideline?………… I know they are needed…………..but…………….
May your day be blessed with love, calm-strength and acceptance – Blessings be. Oyashikiri

GOOD MONDAY MORNING
What a happy day. Another day, a new canvas, a new writing page, Wow, will it be colourful, monotone, oh so many choices. With those absolutely delicious looking cherries still outside my window, I need to continue to search for a way to share them. Abundance is so much more
pleasurable when it is shared.
What about you, what do you plan to do today?
What ever you do, or have been doing, since some of you live in a very different time zone. I pray that you are happy, and that life is good to you ..
I feel so blessed to be sharing this moment with you.
Blessings everyone! Happy Happy Monday….
