Listening to the pouring rain. The fire is crackling and blazing in the fireplace, there isn’t another person home, just the cats who are somewhere enjoying the quiet of the day.. Taking time to rest to just listen to our thoughts is a pass time that many of us put off. I am guilty of it myself. I am tempted by the photographic possibilities in a virtual world…or caught up listening to my lessons .. reviewing incoming mail. there is always “something” that catches my attention.
Yesterday, I had a “chat” with my nephew who is gathering information to do a “chart” of our family “histories”… I know some of you have been doing similar research, going back over family photos, gathering stories of the past moments in your family history. It seems like in today’s world (according to my nephew) it is somewhat simpler. He was able to (with a few clicks) show me a map of where my grandparents came from in China. The exact location on the map, so I could actually see the province in China and the little town near the coast where my father’s family came from. I could see how far it was from Taiwan, and picture them travelling from China to Canada way back when.
I sometimes get very annoyed at the constant barrage of information and images that constantly appear on my screen when I’m trying to do something else. But yesterday I was grateful and thankful for the technology we have today. Reminded me again, that there is always a positive to something that can be so negative at times.

Appreciate each person’s good points.
Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in others so that we can get along. (PL2015.16)
Have a good start to a new week!

I know I will be asked, let me give you the LM to the location I visited in SL (Second Life) The ambience is lovely, the sound of pouring rain is restful… http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Silent%20Melody%202/224/114/2520 /silent Melody is a lovely relaxing setting … rain
patters against the windows. Each corner reveals a hidden nook, a tranquil spot to sit and savor the peace to silent melodies, as the world outside fades into a distant murmur.
OK I have no idea, what I was thinking of when I did this, but it happened. Years later, I still don’t know what it was that drew me to put this “idea” together. Knowing I did it, always gave me pause. I thought to simply throw it out, yet it sat in the back garden for some time, a reminder that not everything I do, or come up with is “picture perfect”
At the time, I really liked the idea. The glove, the hand, I’m not sure, but it still might be out back too. We are cleaning up back there, it is time for a change. I know if they are there, it will be time to “let them go”
I remember putting this “character” into the old wood bird house, so he would be out of the elements. It is all overgrown now, but I saw through the branches that he is still there. It would require cutting away half of the evergreen now to get him out… so… he’ll get to stay. Actually maybe it was a she..
The garden guardians have come and gone, they tended and hosted the wildlife that used our land to travel safely through the urban sprawl. There is beauty in all that nature provides, and there is an unseen world around us that some of us see, and other’s don’t. Never-the-less, the world of imagination and fantasy never fails to capture our attention, when we listen to the wind whisper softly through the trees, or hear it howl when it is voicing discontent. This week we’ve heard the heavens bowling in celebration of a summer’s eve. the bowling balls landing with loud thunder as they rolled across the skies.
