Bom dia

There are some memories that will never leave us. We are reminded many times a day/night what a joy that “energy” brought to our lives.

When we have the opportunity in life to share time and space with an energy force that loves unconditionally – we hopefully will learn to echo that characteristic and live learning to practice love and kindness in our daily lives.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity.

PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

When all around, the energy around you is one of discontent, unhappiness and negativity. It’s time to seriously think of moving. Change is the only constant in life.

today

It is all about the look, she would look at you with such a look of total amazement that you really thought she would stay put and not go into the water. This was a dog that the breeder gave up on and unwillingly let me have her because she was a dog who simply had a mind of her own. During shows, she would suddenly decide she had enough and would calmy sit and refuse to move .. or .. she would walk off the show ring floor back to her crate.

She became my soulmate, my best friend, I bonded with this dog like there was no tomorrow. I still mourn her loss to this day.. but her spirit, her devotion, and unfaltering caring will never leave me. She taught me so many “life” lessons.

I spent a good part of my morning yesterday with whippets A totally different breed, they were in their home, I was a guest. Since acquiring Quincy last year, I have learned to live with a feline(s) in my life. Not the same at all. Now of course he has a “sister” Quinn. Interacting with a cat .. is not.. like living with a dog, or vice versa.

In life, we are constantly on a journey of discovery… what I have learned and continue to experience, is…

Many fellow bloggers always include their “furry” family/friends in their blogs.. Love it!!!

Enjoy your Saturday everyone.

Everything in life happens for a reason.

There need not be reason or rhyme, it simply IS.

I held a two week old puppy in my arms yesterday… what a sweet bundle of love.

Discover something new today. have a willingness and an interest and start your day with excitement. (PL2023.22)

Canaille Spring 2018

a smile a day!

makes for a happier healthier day

Good morning everyone. Came across this picture of my Porti*, Canaille was my little heart throb. I miss her every day. She was one of these personalities that could always bring on a smile Even on the grumpiest of days, she had a winning way. (* Portuguese Water Dog)

We are starting a new month. Let’s make sure we bring our happy face to share with others, every single day.

Always think that “everything will work out” When you allow yourself to be pessimistic, your thoughts and actions become sluggish. Approach everything optimistically without hesitating.

Greet everyone with a smile. The basic building block of human relationships is greeting one another. Be the first to greet others cheerfully.

SIMPLICITY IS HARD WORK

Sometimes

We just need time off. Time to be lazy, to do nothing, and just chill. Try it, you will discover, it is a good thing… love is forever, love IS.

Lunar Dog Year

Year 2018 —— Dog (earth )

Dogs are capable and knowledgeable, and it is not unusual to see Dog people in high demand in the job market.  Dogs like to work at whatever career they choose.  Prince William, Elvis, Cher, George Gershwin, Mother Teresa, were born in Dog years

As a partner Dogs are extremely loyal  although they think they know best, it is fortunate that they are usually open-minded. and will be open to advice. Generally speaking with their sensitive and compassionate heart, they do well in occupations or careers that “serve” or work in the best interest of others. ie. teachers, charity workers, doctors etc.

Unlike other Dog years the Earth Dog is less idealistic than most Dogs, the Earth element makes them practical enough they don’t lose sight of reality.

In China dogs are usually associated with justice and compassion.

We are living at a time, when the plus, positive characteristics of the Dog, could stand us in good staid.

  HAVE A HAPPY START TO THE NEW YEAR.  BLESSINGS, GOOD HEALTH, AND PROSPERITY always.

Appreciation -Gratitude

Luna -Porti 9.5.17

Meet Luna, my feel good therapist from the USA.  She is a Portuguese Water Dog with an extraordinary ability to make people smile.  She has an amazing number of followers who enjoy her daily antics, and her vibrant personality.  Of course her human “Mom” does the talking for her, but her eyes and body language I can assure you let us know who the “real” boss is.  She is so “darling” that she has an almost full time job modeling canine attire for different companies.

Her full-time job of course is her daily attitude of “Life is good!  Let me show you just how good it is”  She will patiently sit, and looking directly at the camera will dare you to not smile for her.  I would show you her full face, but don’t know if you can stand her cuteness.  She is a personality on Instagram tho’…. if you are on Instagram, check her out. lunatheportie     🐱

I appreciate her nature, her being there in living colour, because she always makes me smile.  Thank you to “human” mom too….

The other day while driving home, I noticed that a postal van had slowed down going in the opposite direction.  I looked over since I was stopped for a red light, and found a face looking back at me.. when our eyes connected, he smiled, no more, no less… I smiled back, and just like that.. it was a brighter day.

Everyday, I look for happiness,  I like to share happy moments with friends, and people I meet, or come across in my daily travels.  In PL we have 21 Principles we use as guidelines to help us live a better and happier life.

PL Principle #3   I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things, is a favourite of mine.

PL Principle #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning  This one I find very important, if I start my day with a happy heart, I am more likely to have a much more effective and productive day.  Why… because I choose to be happy and enjoy whatever the day brings my way.

PL Precept #1   Life is Art   – you hear me say this over and over… every day is a brand new canvas..  own it…
