Yesterday I was jolted out of my musings by an artist(Seth Apter) I was unfamiliar with. I had received an e-mail about 3 days of workshops with him in the fall. Attending workshops is not something I am apt to do, but I am a regular at this particular store, and have found that the owner there, keeps up with the latest in the mixed media news. The store is a treasure for art/craft supplies.
I was sufficiently motivated, that I dressed and headed out the door in search of a stamp that he had used, and to research his embossing powders. My first stop was about 50-60 miles from my place. Heading out towards Montreal I suddenly realized that on my left in the lanes coming into the city, were not a few dozen but miles of cars bumper to bumper inching their way into the city. Commuters, people who live on the edges of the city trying to get to work,
It was jaw dropping to see so many people patiently making their way west. As far as the eye could see, coming along the major roadways every vehicle one can imagine. I am retired, and know to leave my house after the “rush hour” It was somewhere between 8:30 and 9. I gave thanks right there and then, that I am now in a different phase of “life”. It was very appropriate when I saw this little sign in the Dollar Tree, when I dropped in.
Please dear reader, if you, like I, have the freedom to explore, discover and live a less structured day to day. Say a prayer of appreciation today, thank the Universe for your life as it is now, and include prayers of support and energy for those who live along beside us, coping and dealing with the phases in their lives that is their “moment in time”

Day 8 of the PL calendar
First accept Everything
Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
Bom dia!! Greetings on another bright sunny morning. Mid week already, where doe the time go.
It was fantastic day yesterday to travel the roads, the trees along the highway are starting to bud, I could feel the anticipation in every direction. The water levels were still very high as we approached the West Island (heading into Montreal). We observed that the water was still half way up the trees that would usually be above the water line on dry land.
Please take time to remember that tho’ the weather is currently dry, there are thousands who have suffered severe water damage over the last weeks, and need our prayers. Not just a few, but many people have lost year of memories and accumulated treasures, and are finding themselves in a place of sadness with weeks and months of rebuilding and hard work just to regain a sense of “normal”
Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sorry everyone I didn’t get to church today, was busy being hit by a car, and dealing with having to do an accident report, and getting my car towed etc.
PL calendar day 31 Someone who is mentally prepared is strong
Even when things look grim, if you take on the situation with determination, you will be able to make a fresh start with a positive outlook.
Sometimes, things happen that are unexpected. Living in the NOW, you deal with it and move on.

If I were an object, I would say I was lost
if broken I would hope to be fixed
found by a stranger, I hope they would rescue me
but, \I am not an object,
I am not lost, nor am I broken
So I don’t need to be found, or fixed
Life is not playing a trick on me
I am in mourning, lost in my own thoughts
realizing that I am in uncharted territory
like a butterfly I am buffeted by the wind
there is no place to hide
on the outside I shimmer and shine
while inside I dip and dive
from the sublime to mediocre moments
while I wait for the painful reality of now
becomes tomorrow
and another day.
I miss what was
no more no less
Q
Do I feel stressed, no, but tonight I am sad, in May it will be a year since my husband passed…I am overwhelmed at times, at just how much awareness I have of how love is a blessing in all its forms. Thank you my dearest friends, when you reach out, it is a balm and a reminder that love is Universal – You are appreciated and fill my heart with gratitude. I love you!

butterfly – by Zky
walks in forgotten places
the whisper of the leaves
as they are temporarily displaced
by intruding footsteps
on the well-worn path
the memory haunts me
the path remains, but you are gone
no longer will we explore the unknown
for you have gone into the unknown
You have found peace forever more.
While I wait on the shore
listening for signs, that on earth, one day
peace and happiness will be found around the world
Till then, the haunting beauty will remind me of home
and the comfort of unconditional love, beyond here and into the unknown.

Look forward to what’s ahead
There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.

I am relearning, to practice stillness in my every day life.
There is an art to “Being”
