obstacles

once useful, now scattered and left askew, doing nothing useful, just taking up space

this wonderful derelict I couldn’t ignore, I so hope someday, someone will adore it by restoring it.

Life presents us with challenges/opportunities every day. Sometimes we hear the call, when we do, we can take it on, or do our best to ignore it. However, the top photo is what happens to the clutter in our minds, when we try to push aside, or put off, something that needs our attention.

What are we back to….. choices.. yup.. somethings won’t go away on their own, WE have to take a hard look, and put an action plan in place. Or it will become overwhelming.

Strive to overcome obstacles by changing your mind-frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things. The outcome is in your hands.

life

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.

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

Lego reality

lego harry potter fanastic beasts

Meet the Lego Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Mini figures, this set can be purchased retail. In it you get the complete set of 22 Factory sealed character pieces. If you decide not to invest in the whole set, and try your luck at purchasing individually, then you have to take your chances and purchase a single pack, for 3.99 and hope you get the hero that you want. Otherwise you keep trying. I believe that the set in Canadian dollars is about 180$ give or take.

The figures are rather cute, the collector that I am thought, I want one. I liked the figure third from the left, front row. My first bag, I got Harry himself along with his owl, my second try I got #11 (yes they are numbered,) the character with the red hair and green uniform holding a tea cup. 2nd row, to the right of the other figure I would like, the one with the pointed ears.

My next bag I tore open to find that I got #6, he is standing behind the one I want, in the back row with the green plant. So far three tries, and each one is 3.99 with tax. Do you see where I am going with this. By the time I am done, trying to get the two or three that I want, I will likely end up paying for the cost of the full set. but then what do I do with the other figures?

They are darn cute, I see the attraction, my reality is, with arthritic fingers, and often diabetic numbness that visits these same fingers…. I ask myself if this is a collection that I really really want to start playing with. Of course the one option is that I find others who would want to trade. LOL.. somehow I think that the age group I usually “play” with, won’t have any interest in mini Lego figures.

Oh!!! I was smitten by the dragon and figures in Lego #75951 (Fantastic Beasts) why? One figure looks like a Chinese magistrate, and the other is a an older character who looks dignified with his white hair. Grindelwald’s Escape, it is 132 pieces, suggested for ages 7-14. Take the hyphen away and turn the numbers around, maybe…… the characters are Gellert Grindelwald, and the other is Seraphina Picquery I did get it, how long will it take for me to put 132 small pieces together. It is anyone’s guess. =^_^= will I try?

Some people never grow up, I could be one of them. However, where my mind might be willing to explore the opportunities, The body will often give me hints on the realities of actually following through.

Day 2 of the PL Calendar Be Forever Young and seek new challenges

The world is constantly in motion and never rests. Keep your senses sharp and be ready to adapt to the ever changing world.

Thursday door 6.28.18

flowers PA4 This door is more welcoming during the summer months, when there are blossoms blooming to invite you to enjoy the view.

These days I feel like a door. I stand ready, each day a new “visitor” comes to call, today the stove called. It blew a gasket, sending smoke and fumes into the air. The fire alarms chimed in to really add to the excitement.

The dogs and I just looked at one another. I ran for the stove, turned it off, opened the door, got the fans going, and and and.

New stove will be delivered next week. Interesting menu if you care to stop on by. My house is the one with the happy weeds, the new weed whacker won’t start. No wonder the house with the roses is smiling … it knows there is no competition this year.

Don’t worry, I’m as happy as can be. I got to post a door this Thursday. Yipeee… For more doors, check out Norm 2,0 Thursday doors

thank goodness I am a positive person. I’ve had to deal with a cracked coffee maker, a burnt out toaster, a new weed wacker that is being finicky, and a stove that said I quit. Good for me. I get all new toys.

what was, now is

Sometimes we open a door, and we are hit with an unexpected view. One we had no control over, but we’re now faced with the “What the ?!?!?!”

The camera of course was the first thought, take pictures, details, catch it before it is touched or anyone comes. Then talk to the workers, who are pretending not to be aware of your actions.

Keep calm, ask for an explanation. PL Precept #4 Being annoyed limits your expression.

Listen with intent. Pay careful attention to what is said. Appreciate, and remember to say Thank YOU.

Then return to your office, make notes, and then # 1. call the city, #2 call the owner of the property who the workers are working with. Being polite, and asking for answers and suggestions to the problem will usually inspire others to be helpful.

PL Precept #5 One’s self is lost by being emotional

Sincerity, faith and trust … are important ingredients to a life that is “balanced”

I’m not saying it is always easy, but they become part of your daily responses to opportunities when they are practiced on a regular basis.

Blessings of the day to each and everyone of you. May much happiness shine on you day from morning to night.

shadows

Shadows cast their imprint on the forest floor, not looking up, I wanted to read the storyline that played out on the fallen pines and organic debris that carpeted the way

autumn sun was high in the sky, so that the filtered light cast beautifully defined lines against the rusted shades of brown and grays that lay textured, the perfect foil for the images being projected for our viewing.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art.

How we creatively interact with the challenges and opportunities that come our way, if we were to see them only visually, it would be like the shadows shown above. dynamic and static meeting as ONE.

Colour riot Saturday

October abstract 5

If you haven’t guessed already, I love October, and the energy that seems to gather and explode in the shops around this time of year. I can’t at this moment in time, over haul our living quarters into a stage set, but I can dream about it. So, some of my time today was wandering the shops and taking pictures of items I’d want to collect and bring home, if this was the right time for me to do so.

October 2

How fun to have this at the back door to greet unsuspecting visitors.

October 3

Could it be the colours, the designs, or just the witching fun.

october 6a

Back when I was really keen on redoing the “home” with such colourful and creative items, we had to make them ourselves. Now, they are all over in the shops and so available. I love the black, the way it sets off the bright yellows and glowing oranges.

I have been feeling more creative these days, the top picture is my bedtime activity, some people write in journals, I like to paint. I have art journals, and junk journals, they are everywhere, so when I feel an urge, I can just pick one up and add to it. Even the act of preparing a page so that it will take paint, or other medium is joyful.

Ripping up a magazine for the splotches of colour that have caught my eye is very relaxing…. then to see it reborn in a totally “MY ” way is absolutely satisfying. Same applies to fabric, wool, threads, cord, ribbon, tapes, the possibilities are endless.

The best part of visual expression, is that it is very personal, subjective, and really only needs to be enjoyed by me, myself and I. If someone else likes it, that is bonus.

Life is what we make it. There is an artist in all of us. We all choose to express ourselves differently. What is important is that we do so.

When a challenge looms before us. How we deal with it, shows are creativity. We are offered so many possibilities during the day, I am always amazed that not every one gets the feeling of satisfaction at having a full day.

If you are in Canada, you are well on your way to enjoying a long week-end. I am looking forward to mine. It is a daunting task, but I am going to try to rearrange my studio/work area.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

PL Precept # 19 Begin Once you Perceive

Happy, wonderful and productive Saturday !! Let the colours shine.
