It has been a mushroom day. Hopefully you have found your day just as interesting.

Let’s us always accept others differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

Success doesn’t just happen….
It is not by coincidence that things go well. The results are based on the hard work you have put in up until that moment. Remember to be thankful and use your current success to reach the next level.

Q
What happened to the 13th.?
PC Is telling me it is the 14th today. I saw all the Tim Holtz Halloween temptations this morning.. and wasn’t rushing out the door to find, said items. What is happening to me? Those of you who are familiar with my creativity swings… the first sign of cooler weather coming, (meaning fall) my colour palette changes to earth tones, and often I turn to dark creepy and drag out my tombstones.
There are many sides to our personalities, often we find one we are comfortable with, and that is the one we wear. However you and I both know that each of our friends, or acquaintances, bring out different facets of Me Myself and I.
Think about it. How often will you react in one way with your partner, but should a friend or someone else have said or done the same thing… your reaction would be different. There are times we are not even honest or comfortable with ourselves.
How others see us is not how we see ourselves, nor is either version a true one. Ours is the one that counts. Ours is the one that has to be worked on, tweaked, and sometimes revised completely.
PL Calendar day 14 – Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for YOU. Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those round you always think of what is important to them too.

artwork is mine.
digital art, done in SL (Second Life)
Before working in a journal, the pages have to be prepped. Especially since I am a mixed media artist. I use different medium to work on the pages. I have had so many projects to work on the past while that I have lost track of time. I simply spend hours in the studio. This meant, pushing the Xmas cards to the back of the burner, while I prep* pages to work on them.
*work on the pages – doing backgrounds and then priming them with a Gesso that seals the page so the inks or paints won’t bleed when I begin working on them.
Life is the same. We commit to something then before we are done, something else comes up and we juggle. Choices pop up and we have to decide what is the best way to proceed. I reasoned that Xmas isn’t till December, BUT. I need to turn them in before the fall, so that the agencies can do what they need to do.
Am I procrastinating when I start something else before I finish another project? The PL Calendar for day 23 ( I know we are not where near the 23rd) ” Once you have set out to do something, it is your job. ” Job? I am retired !!! Then it goes on to say, Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses, continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.
Written words and philosophies can be so confusing at times. anyone want to put in some ideas.views, give me something to ponder???
Winks at all her readers/friends…..honestly, I really am interested. Yes doing this blog this evening is a stalling tactic. =^_^=
Reminder Sunday, (August 11) service is at 10 a.m. we will be doing the Ancestors’ Day ceremony. See you all there!

Why not. I am on a bit of a rant today. Where are all the farm toys. Where does one find a small John Deere tractor, OK it doesn’t have to be John Deere, any old tractor will do. How about an old truck, a hay baler, one of those thing a-ma-bobs that make rows in the earth …little chicken coops, barn, toys that help depict farm life, or life on a farm.
Is that passé .. I guess I have not looked at children’s toys lately. I found construction, firemen, police, lots of race cars, and space stuff, no farm equpment, or buildings. (second hand, and thrift shops)
Busy trying to locate items for a friend who is doing a diorama of life on a farm, I didn’t get to my doors. Sorry. Wait… maybe I have a barn.
After traipsing around town the last few days.. I feel like the door on the right. Oh dear, I just flipped open an old PL calendar, it reads.. Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Think it is time for a nap.
Happy Thursday everyone. Tomorrow is another day.
