‘THANK YOU” again and again. It feels great if someone says Thank YOU, to you, even many times. By repeating this, become a person who comes up with the words “Thank You” naturally.
There are days when we simply don’t want to face the world, sunshine or not. We want or need time to rest, to invest in our selves. It is all part of the “maturing” process. Take life as it comes, in little steps.
“Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings.
Always be humble. If you work on things with attitude of asking a favour people around you will advise you what they have noticed. There’s something in fact you are not aware of that you do.
A hideaway, a secret rendez-vous.. somewhere some place, an idyllic get away, I couldn’t resist when I saw this bit of landscape, I wanted to go up and be part of the scenery.. sit under a tree, enjoy the breeze coming off the water’s edge. But … it was not my place… someone else lived there. I was a passerby … who fell in love with that moment in time.
Of course this would have made a wonderful post for my Thursday Door challenge that I participate in, but today is not Thursday, it is Sunday, and this is when the picture fell out of my file … I couldn’t pass it by. I wanted to share the moment with you. Life gets so busy at times, that what happens is we react and respond to what is before us. In my studies last night, I listened to a lecture given at one of the universities on coping and living through the many challenges and opportunities we are given in life. Believe me, they can be numerous at times.
The picture above was one taken a couple of years ago when I was exploring a part of the virtual world I had not been in before. It was another artist’s creation, another person’s vision, i was just lucky .. I saw it and captured it … Now I wish I had taken the time to see who the architect was that had the vision to produce such a welcoming environment.
If you have an adventure in your nature, there is a new build in SL called the Golden Place, (A tropical photogenic island, it has many hideaways where you an enjoy some awesome views if you love taking photos, or just being on a beach listening to music, you might enjoy transporting your avatar to the island to explore, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Golden%20Place/99/156/22
I had a personal experience recently that showed me that I can be vulnerable and my feelings and “comfort zone” can be turned topsy turvy… life isn’t always the same old, same old “stuff”. I can’t just call up a travel agent and board a plane for Cuba or some other far away destination. I am at the moment living in a world that is smack in the middle of a snow season. Sometimes come March, spring is in the air and the world is breaking free of the winter “blues” not so this year.
As a photographer, I love the virtual world for the many opportunities I have to see and visit the creative builds of artists/builders/designers/from all over the world, The Golden Place was put together by I believe a visionary from Germany. As a music lover I can hear and experience talented performers from all over the world. I noticed the other day that there was a whole afternoon of Brazilian music being presented on another Island (Isle Du Noir).. a Brazilian guitar player from Sau Paulo … after Wes, there were two other entertainers, I believe singers (also from Brazil) who delighted audiences with their music. I was already covering the new travel location, I missed it. Still haven’t figured out how to be in two places at once.!!
I share this with you because I know I’m not alone at looking out into the snow filled world and wanting a change. We are not in a position to pick up and go anywhere at the moment, it is tax time, we are facing several more weeks of “winter” weather… exploring new possibilities within easy reach… could be an option
Meanwhile today’s calendar reads…
Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favour, people around you will advise you what they have noticed. there is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.

A recent conversation with another writer/photographer was about -being alone- the comment that stuck out because I hear it so often, “I love what I do (photography) especially when I can be on my own in nature, wandering and searching out ‘possibilities”…. If you were asked your preference, do you like your alone time. is being on your own where your creativity shines through?
The ambient sounds, the birds calling, the wind, the sound of the waves … you had to be there!
We are all unique, even though we are in the same boat, at the same time and place, there are no guarantees that we will each hold the same perspective on out situation. Or enjoy the moment as it presents itself to us in the same way.
PL calendar, day 19 The moment you notice is the best timing
Procrastinating will only weigh you down. The best time to do something is when you notice it. You will feel lighter both physically and spiritually.
Bom dia, um maravilhosa dia para todos noa – A happy start to the week.
This is me thinking…. yeah really
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”.
