Accept Everything with Appreciation
The morning sun coming in through the sunroom windows
caught and filtered by the coloured glass
gives each item it’s very own aura
When we show appreciation in life
for all that comes our way
the positive energy of God
will give each of us our own unique
aura, we will radiate
with the blessing of love and light

“Sea una persona capaz de agradecer todas las cosas que acontecen ante sus ojos.
Aquellos que agradecen mucho son felices.
Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them.
A person who is always thankful is a happy person “

PL Precept #11 Always be with GOD
now is the moment
now here in the present is the time
this is when you can capture the bloom
tomorrow, same time, same place
it just won’t be the same
we cannot retrace our steps
and relive that moment
we need to experience today
for right now
this moment
will be with us always
till a new moment dawns
then my precious
my darling
my own
the excitement
the passion
will be reborn

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
text,photography my own (Q)
I knew this place nestled in the trees, it came back to me, a very distant memory
The closer I got, the stronger the story line, from a time way before I walked this earth.
The trees were not as mature, in fact most, except the one, were but seedlings in the ground
“Father farmed the land for miles around. The nearest neighbour was a day away, unless of course, it was a Sunday, and we could hitch the horses to the small cart. We would all dress in our Sunday best to ride into the closest settlement, otherwise, we spent our days tending to chores and learning to read by candlelight, once all animals had been bedded and we could rest before we ourselves had to head up the stairs to bed.”
I couldn’t resist a look inside, sure enough the stairs were still there, but somehow the rest of the living area had been taken down and left to be dealt with another day. I did consider going in, to see if I could still see out the window, from outside, I saw it was still there.
Reality is, it was another time, and the youngster who grew up there, was long gone. The world has vastly changed, and now, this home that was, sits alone in an isolated little woodland, on the edge of big farming complex.
The windows of the past, that we encounter today, fascinate and intrigue me. Similar to the interest I have in doors, doorways and entryways, the questions, the storylines, the hazy visions into what was, could have been, or could be……….. never cease to delight and titillate my creative cells.
life is a journey of discoveries
to be savoured
and enjoyed

photography & text Q (mine)
nearest city – Cornwall, Ontario,Canada
not a happy face, nope, no joy found here
tired, weather worn and ragged
life has left an imprint of a bitter
state of mind
spent in the company of
dissatisfaction and complaints
we, each and every one of us
is entitled to happiness
and the joy of living in a world
full of promise and hope
true, what was,
sometimes fades with the
changing seasons
but it is what is inside that counts
happy and even sad memories
make up our past
yet here we are
starting a brand new day
our lives continue
like sparkling spring water flowing
over the dips and valleys
happily gurgling along
over the variety of rocks
there really is no other choice, but to go with the flow
so why not use what dissatisfaction
and momentary complaints that come our way
as catalysts to improve and change our days
so that happiness is the mainstay
of our daily “every day” lives.
appreciate whatever comes your way
the shade you see, will soon shift and fade away

Hello………….celebrate Earth Day
do we not do this every day ?
there obviously is a need to make everyone aware
that we need to appreciate and take care
of the world that we live in
it worked for me today
a reminder is always a positive reinforcement
we often forget when we simply go about our day
not always taking care of how we throw our waste away
please, let us all concentrate
more on saving the planet
not just today
but always

PL Precept #7 Everything Exists in Relativity
I made this card many years ago
yes, those are egg shells
there are times when
like an egg shell
on a hard boiled egg
a moment lived, just feels cracked
try as you may
the egg simply won’t peel
in just the right way
it is, what it is
no more, no less
BUT
when life is an art
we find and do it our way
PL Precept #18 EAch Moment is a Turning Point
sometimes, I my intent is a few words but the mind and fingers keep going. =^_^=

garden sprite tell me true
what will the morning bring
when the sun shines high in the azure sky
bathing the world in a light so bright
will I find my love come night
silly child how will you find
something you have not lost
you need only look
deep into your heart
to see and feel the love
that constantly beats
with each pitter patter of your heart
je t’aime, je t’aime
true love has no beginning and no end

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
There are moments when I am caught up in what I see. We were in a drive through, when suddenly an ordinary moment became one of dimension and depth.
I was drawn into another world, each blade, each stem took on personality of its own. I wanted to capture that moment, and I did. It all took place in probably less than a minute.
PL Precept #19
Begin Once you Perceive
Even now, hours later, when I look at that moment in time, these pictures, speak volumes to me. I want to experience every blade. each leaf, and discover the marvel of the textures in the bark
How awesome. Simplicity, I was inspired, I took action, and I’m blessed now with the happy feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction… Life is good.I so love being part of it. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. =^_^=
