expectations
Kit took the hats outside, they would be perfect for the visit back to the early 1900’s what was it she heard, 1934, or was it 1944. Whatever, she knew that when they called her in, she would be ready for the part. She had carefully taken them out of the storage box, and cleaned them. They had been outside drying in the hot heat of the afternoon sun.
Inside, Nellie, Ivy and Elizabeth were busy making their plans too. They had been called in earlier and told that they were going to be assigned to the project that was heading back to the mid 1940’s .. They would have to study and read up on all the information that they had so that they could interact in the best way possible. They would also have to talk to Kit, since that was her special time period.
The did wonder how come Kit had not been included in the assignment, but it was not their decision to make, nor their place to ask questions. They had over a month to prepare.
When they saw Kit come in they couldn’t wait to tell her their news. Each was so excited, that at first it didn’t register that Kit had gone very quiet. It was only when Ivy asked Kit, if she would like to sit in and help them in their planning. that they noticed, that she hesitated.
Kit excused herself, saying she had something to do, then fled to her room. Alone in her room, she felt sad and disappointed. She was not going with them. She brooded for a while, then thought, she would talk it over with her friend ChenMay.
In talking it over with her friend, she realized that it wasn’t her friends fault that they were given this assignment. She knew they would be good at it, and that it would give them the opportunity to visit and experience something she already knew. AND they had asked her for help to plan. She would be involved, just not going.
That meant, as ChenMay had helped her to realize, she would going on a different adventure, something brand new to her. Now that was exciting.
She felt so blessed that she had such good friends and team mates. The gloom had lifted, and her appreciation for her friends grew. It WAS a beautiful day, her smile lit up the room. ChenMay was happy too, she had shared quality time with her friend, so she was smiling too…
Happy Ending
Expectations, when we allow ourselves to build expectations, we leave ourselves open for disappointment. Wait till you have access to all the facts, and believe that you will always be where you should be when the time comes.

Dreams
Peaceful sleep, a deep slumber, or simply resting, our bodies need the down time. Time where physically we can just let our bodies relax in whatever way is comfortable. This way, not having to thinking of anything in particular, we can allow the mind to drift.
There are some who find that it is easier to have low lighting, and quiet, and others will tell us they like quiet music. Their mind latches on to the melody and they float off into space.
Back when… we used to call wandering in space astral projection. Are you familiar with that expression. Dreams are a form of memory recall, but in a code known only to the Universe. Eartha* and I touched briefly on this during our last outing, From very different backgrounds, and cultures, we still … as human… relate pretty much to LIFE in the same way.
As writers, a dream world is ever-present in our daily lives, as an artist, dreams explode into colour, pattern and textures if we paint, if we are musical, our voice, or skills with musical instruments, take us beyond our own realities.
Imagine a world with out dreams. Let go of day-to-day drudgery, allow your spirit to soar and take flight. Explore in the night, your inner Universe will bring a kaleidoscope of worlds, past ,present and future to you, open your mind to new possibilities =^_^=

PL Precept #1 Life is Art
—————————————————————————————————————————————— the day started at an easy pace, we were all still worried about Sam’s delay, the estimated time of arrival was July 11th. mid day. Finally when we still had not heard, we had no choice but to wait till today.
The surprise was that Celine arrived a day early… so time was taken getting her settled into her rooms. Her hair was a fright. Nothing would do but she wanted time at the spa.

Sam bless her heart, finally arrived, by this time, we were nearing panic mode. All is well, Dragon Soft, kept us calm.
Sam was really tired, we have all decided it is best to let her rest up before we find out about her journey here. (from United Kingdom) (A girl for all Time)
Both young ladies will add so much to our already dynamic “Family”

What!
Part of the bird house had paint on it, but the rest was devoid of any colour. Instead, Rosie saw colour everywhere else. Splashes of vibrant colour was all over the papers, strewn on the floor.
She tried to imagine what had taken place, but besides knowing that the girls had been going to paint the birdhouse, she really had no idea, what had transpired during the time she had been in the other room preparing the evening meal.
Closing her eyes she tried to remember which of the girls had suggested the project. Leonie’s face popped into view, her face and hands splattered with paint. ChenMay had been with her, of course now she remembered, they were going to try to paint the bird house like the abstract painting they had seen at the gallery.
She opened her eyes to see the girls all looking at her expectantly .. they were waiting with great anticipation for her to say something. She didn’t know what to say, she was speechless. “hello” she said, “what happened here”
They all began talking at once, “one at a time please” she suggested. Then one by one, they began their tale of the painted bird house. They had all wanted to paint the birdhouse, but they couldn’t agree just how to go about it, so, they decided that they should each demonstrate their ideas on paper. They had so much fun with the paint when it dripped, splashed and swirled that they had gotten carried away.
One thing they agreed on, was that it was fun to paint each in her own way, and that being happy was what counted. They were sorry the bird house didn’t get painted, but they could try again tomorrow…. and please ..Rosie … they ran out of paint, could they have more?

Rosie stood back and looked at her chest of drawers. It looked like she last saw it, yet it seemed that some of the powders were not as she had left them.
Meanwhile, Breeana was outside fussing with the vines along the fence.
‘
She had carefully made her way down the path, pulling out as many weeds as she could along the way. Listening to her music, time had slipped by it was probably time for her to go in. She sensed that Rosie would be looking for her, and made her way towards the house.
Sure enough just as she reached the back door, it opened and Rosie was standing there, ready to call her in. Realizing they had once more found their way to the same place at the same time, they both laughed and greeted each other.
Ever since they had met, they just seemed to be on the same wave length. it was a comfortable feeling, and the beginning of a fast friendship.
“Breanna” Rosie asked “did you dust my chest of drawers today?”
“No, I thought of it, but didn’t want to go into your room without permission, why?”
“Nothing really, I just have the feeling that something was moved, or changed” both turned to look back towards Rosie’s room. To Breanna it all looked the same, but to Rosie, although it appeared to be the way she left it, something didn’t feel right.
It often happens where two people see the same thing, but each has their own impression of what it is they are seeing. They each will have their own realities, that is why it is important to have open dialogue and to think before we speak or make assumptions.
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.
PL Principle #7 I will not have a mind to be hasty, worry nor be pessimistic.
Keep your options open and be flexible
Leonie and ChenMay who had been listening, looked at one another, they had not gone into the room themselves, but they had wondered about the bottles lined up in a row, and they knew that Kit and China, like them had given the room more than a passing glance. Soon they hoped Rosie would tell them about the “secrets” in her room. Did Breana know?
Thursday surprise for Leonie
FYI The dolls still have not discovered the mystery connected to the chest of drawers, they were too excited to learn about Leonie’s surprise package. It arrived shortly after the noon hour, they saw it being delivered, but of course were unable to bring it in themselves.
Leonie was thrilled when she got to go out, the parcel was for her! Finally her guitar had arrived. It is always nice to receive a gift, especially one you have been wanting for so long.
To show her appreciation she would practice songs the others liked and play for them later when they gathered around before bedtime. Silently she gave thanks, she remembered the lesson in the PL Principles ..#3 Live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
Not everyone lives in a happy home, always share your happiness and joy with others, a smile goes a long way.
each and everyone one of YOU.

story time — curiosity + patience
The girls watched silently, waiting for the music to come closer. To their dismay, it stopped, and they were nowhere near figuring out where it was coming from. They first heard the music when the old dresser was moved to where it now stood in the sun room.
Not just one of them had heard it, they all had. It reminded Kit of the music box her grandmother once had. She looked all around the room, but there was no music box, or any other object that looked like one.
China’s eyes were big with wonder. The music had made her think of the time that the school had visited the big department store during the Christmas holidays. The teacher had wanted them to see the big window display with all the coloured lights and sparkling snowflakes. The elves had been busy in Santa’s workshop the happy music had filled the room as they happily hummed while packing all the presents for Santa’s big night.
Did it have something to do with the old dresser? If only they could get closer without making a lot of noise or drawing attention to themselves. They were supposed to be in bed. Ginger the eldest of the girls, was supposed to be doing her chores, but Kit saw her peeking out from the other room. Everyone was interested.
“Bedtime girls, I’ll be in shortly to say goodnight.” sigh, they knew that it would be tomorrow before they would be given a clue or information.. If Q was coming to tuck them in… that meant, it was going to be lights out. Scampering back to their respective rooms, they climbed back into bed. Being patient was going to be hard.
As Q tucked them in, she whispered “tomorrow is another day, you will have lots of time to explore and look around” China and Kit whispered as Q moved on to see Chen-May and Leonie “what Precept do you think will help us be patient and allow things to progress at their own pace” giggling China said, “Q is always reminding us of our lessons” with that, both girls closed their eyes and let their anticipation and dreams carry them into the magical land of sleep.

Good Morning 6.26.17
Good morning, this is our whippet trying to sleep last night, doesn’t matter its summer, and hot, he likes to be covered. Usually his head is snuggled into his chest or he is on his back, but for some reason last night, he was sleeping with his head on the arm of the chair. For those of us with a whippet or grey *Greyhound” even though we see their often, odd way of sprawling out, it never ceases to amuse or endear them Their ability to contort their length into weird upside down and twisted posses, and then fall asleep that way, is really amazing.
They can in a split second, wake and jump up from the most awkward of positions to a graceful and show-stopping pose. Why, because he can, he doesn’t think about it, he just does it.
Furniture has to be covered, he owns every chair in the place. Almost .. Canaille (our PWD) has hers, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to horn in. Extra loads of laundry are done, sheets, towels, and his blankies. Oh dear, does he sound spoiled…. yes…. I guess they both are.
All this to say, dogs, cats, pets of any kind, are usually accepted for who they are, we can justify almost anything they do, or get up to, and we deal with it. Accidents happen, we deal with it. As they age, we learn to live with an aging pet, who after years of unconditional love (on their part) and ours, we adjust and walk the path with them. We do all this without questioning why, they don’t interact with us like another human would, so our compassion, and love seems to just happen. Another human has a voice and thoughts, that will come out and create a different “reaction” from us.
Throw a penny into a quiet pond, it will sink or skip depending on how you do it, then it will fall into the pond and become one with the pond. We see gentle ripples, or if we threw the penny, it might make a small splash. If we throw a rock, we will get a different effect. Either way, once we “action” into, or at the pond, the “reaction” happens, then the pond returns to the state it was in prior to our interaction with it.
When we live in Perfect Liberty, we are like the pond, we hum with activity of our own, life flows. When something/someone interacts with us, how they interact, will dictate what our response will be. We acknowledge the activity, let it go, and return to our
centre” our “core”PW
Living in a state of unconditional love.. is a work in progress, that we must always strive to achieve, if we are to achieve “World Peace”
Life happens. The roses are in bloom now, tomorrow or another day, they will relinquish their time in the spotlight, to allow the nourishment to feed the roots, so they can return again. Life is a series of cycles. Acknowledge and appreciate every day. Life is good.
There is Joy in simplicity!
