Perfect Liberty, day 12 of calendar
Be Cheerful nd Carefree
Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t, just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.

Waiting for 2018 to end. What a year it has been, Major changes, a much loved story book romance, came to an end. Lost in thought last night, I wandered through the open doors of the memory vault. Each new day, brings me further away, from the day last May when I was left behind at the runway, my time not yet come to fly.
What will the new year bring, one will never know till the time comes. Meanwhile, the clock ticks a steady beat..counting down to what…
Chinese New Year is at the start of February this year. We will enter the year of the Pig. Tonight in my part of the world, we will slide into 2019, a little over twelve hours from now. If I didn’t know the time would it make a difference. Not really, my life would still be in change mode, and after a good sleep, I will wake to begin yet another day of adventure and exploration.
Leonard Cohen, dance me to the end of love

Bom Dia, Good Morning, For those of you who do not live in the area, the 417 is the highway that takes one from Ottawa, to Montreal. It is a divided highway, two lanes going east, and two lanes going west . The landscape between here and Montreal yesterday was beyond spectacular.
The weather forecast was rain and more rain. Ottawa was predicted to have heavy rains most of the day. Montreal less so. When we left, we were not expecting a great sun-filled or colourful day. There was no sun, not even a glimmer or hint of sun. BUT the colours were out of this world. Brilliant, rich, full of drama, it was often gasping wow moments. It truly was mesmerizing, I couldn’t get enough of it. Never have I been so enthralled with a rainy, misty foggy day.
My co-pilot was just as blown away as I was, our conversations were constantly being interrupted with our reaction to the scenery we were driving through. Sorry no pictures it was raining too hard, this is an extremely busy, highway. Suffice to say, it was often surreal. The rain was so heavy that it drenched the barks of the trees, so that they stood out, like inked ebony sculptures dripping with leaves of wet glistening golds, and often fiery burnished copper would stand out majestically against a stand of evergreens.
We don’t go out expecting to be presented with endless miles of Natural wonders…. but when it happens, friends, you feel truly blessed. The ride home was foggy and we had the rush hour traffic for part of it, but the ride to our destination, was gift. A picture would not do it justice, we had to live it. Live it we did. What a day, it was glorious, yeah, really… that great. Neither one of us expected such a 3D high-definition all out mind-blowing show…but the heavens provided and we reaped the rewards.
Life can be exhausting, but it can also be simply divine, when you least expect it to.

Norm and fellow door chasers, there is a door in one of these pictures, with activity happening in the room beyond, You can see through the windows.. Actually there is more than one ..
Till next time… you are loved!!!!
Sometimes I am good, and other times, well… I want to play. The picture on the right is of me where I accepted the challenge of wearing a bikini. I was nervous being half-dressed like that, and couldn’t stand still. So the picture is a bit fuzzy, but then that’s ok, cuz you can’t see all my fat and bumps.
These were outfits I made to sell in my little shop. The avatar is a Dinky made by a very talented artist in Second Life (Etheria Parrott) She has variety of dinky avatars to pick from, I happen to be a sealpoint and sometimes a lilac point Siamese.
The creative side of me can spend hours exploring the artist creations of others on the grid, and when not exploring, digital photography.
Q (that is me) can spend hours touring, taking in the sights and sounds, visiting different countries .. and never leave the comfort of my home office. I like being Q, she is fearless, she can do almost anything, she loves exploring and meeting people, and learning about the world around her. I on the other hand, can be a bit of a recluse.
This is my friend Awen who introduced me to designing and building in/on a virtual platform. It was a whole new world, and I was open to the challenge.
Life is unpredictable, our creativity, how we pereive the world around us, and how we want to express our individuality, is all part of a whole. We are blessed by being given a new canvas every day.
Seize the day, make art!

We leave a trace everywhere we go, it seems impossible to enjoy without some how taking or leaving something behind. Some harmonize better than others. A wound may heal physically, but it will never be the same, ever. Life does go on, we are blessed in ways that we will never truly fully understand, Nature will soon blanket the scarred and littered land around us with the beauty of fallen snow.
The fairy tale world of a winter wonderland, will lull the weary, allowing for time to recharge and erase haunting memories. Right now she is blessing us with a wonder of colours and vistas of raw umber and burnt sienna interwoven with deep golden hues interspersed with rusty reds,
Today, I am the birch, patiently waiting for you to drive by, tires rolling across the asphalt, and the quiet to reappear till the next motorized vehicle comes along. Please do not be offended, it is simply time for us to hibernate.,

… so easily muttered, relax, relax…
Relax. I said, relax, sometimes the word itself is like an exLax
ever notice that
you are being told to relax,
when all the while you thought you were relaxed
maybe to some the word relax could be replaced by passed out
no somehow I doubt that
next time I should ask
please be more specific I will say
and just maybe, they will go away
then I will really be relaxed, eh!!
