way, way far away, I found myself wandering, a tourist for the day,
how magical it was, how soft and fluffy the snow, of course we all know
dreams do come to an end, yet the memory is so clear, I want to keep it near
see the umbrella, perfect place to sit, we could visit and simply BE, in wonderland, forever and a day. If only you would come and play! =^_^=
To live is to express one’s Self!

Do you make an entrance? Are you confident about your look? Does it matter how you dress?
Do you have more than one persona? Can a shy violet succeed in the corporate world? Are you the person we see?
In real life we don’t look like avatars or dolls, our expressions change every passing moment. There is depth in our eyes, with or without words, we can make known dislikes and pleasures. Humans interact, it is part of living.
Success is achieved by working in harmony with others. If the people involved in a group cannot agree with one another, things do not progress. When they work together as one, they can move mountains.

An artist can create an avatar, but the avatar is only pixels, it is the person behind the avatar that brings the avatar alive. Dolls come in every shape and size, today I must have seen dozens of dolls and not one was the same as the other. How they were dressed, did go a long way in projecting personality.
In the questions above, there is no right or wrong answer, we are all capable of astonishing feats, and brilliant ideas. Each one of us, has at some time been a different person. Why. Because, we interact with other individuals differently. Look around at your friends. Each one, brings out a different “something” about you.
Isn’t this wonderful. A wink and smile to each and all. Thanks for sharing this moment with me.

This past week I have had wonderful Thanksgiving dinners with friends, too many, in fact… now that the actual week-end is here, I am “stuffed”, Not with the blessing of friendships, but with poultry, dressing and cranberry sauces. One can never have enough friends. I love my friends.
As I drifted off into a peaceful sleep. I counted my blessings, family, friends I absolutely delight in, the country I live in, its beauty, it changing seasons, and of course, life itself.
People, human beings, from wherever in the world all share the same skies, the same day to day challenges, what makes it different, is that each culture has its own way, and celebrate life with different holidays, and have different heroes and folklore. My father taught me that to be accepted, I had to first accept myself, AND, the ways of others. It wasn’t always about ME, but how I accepted life, lived it, and made my way, was indeed mine, and I needed to own my actions. RESPECT played a big part, if I didn’t understand, it was alright to ask, always with respect and an open heart.
Granted often food was involved, we considered it an honour to eat with friends, guests welcomed to our table, were always shown the utmost respect, and when out, there was always the reminder to be considerate of others.
Now we sit in restaurants, each at our table, or booth, the place can be packed with other diners, but not a glance is given, or a smile offered.
How is it in your “world” are you someone who is open to smiling and greeting a total stranger, if only briefly, with a sign of recognition that they are another “person” just like you….

Driving along one day, I spied a happy face. It meant a bit of a climb, but I wanted a close up. Happy under the sun, we shared several of moments in contemplation, the stones, the surroundings and I. Happiness is being alive, to take in and bask in the wonder of the world around us. Where ever you may be. Day or night, you are never alone.
Make every moment count!

Life is filled with a collection of memories A fellow blogger (Chris) https://milfordstreet.wordpress.com/2019/09/28/curtiss-p-40/?c=28448#comment-28448 is visiting a vintage aircraft show this week-end. To fellow lovers of such planes, visit his site. He has taken some great photos and will be there again today taking more.

Enjoy the day! Oyashikiri
take flight under the dark skies or stay and stand on guard
the winds blew, the sky started to clear
the bears danced in place, and we continued on
in Mother Nature’s sweet embrace
sharing in another wonderful day.
Each day is another new adventure. Step out and greet the day. When the heart is open, you will always be amazed at how awesome life on earth can be. With love and friendship by your side, a cloudy day, becomes amazing.

you are being careless or overconfident ..
Even though you may have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made mistakes. that is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.
Good morning dear friends,
Our surroundings play such an important part in our lives, yet, too often we put off what needs attention, or doing, till ????
I admit to having done just that thee past months, and now.. guess what.. aaaghghgh I have to clean up. It would have been so much simpler had I done it as the days went along, but no…. aghhhhhh hands to the heavens…. “will I ever get this right”
Have a grand day my lovelies, rain or shine, we are ONE. You and me… travelers on this road of life. You make it much more interesting. You do!
Life is to be lived, life is to be shared. Never fear saying, you care. Your smile is worth barrels of sunshine that will last for miles.

Live with firm determination, that “this will turn out for the best” Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best
Someone once asked me did I ever get tired of being a “Pollyanna” for those of you unfamiliar with that expression, it usually was used to describe someone who was always cheerful and looking for positives. I like being happy, and I work towards that goal. I sometimes miss the mark by a long mile and another times it takes only a smile to bring my happy back.
That does not mean that I don’t feel disappointment, and at times, totally sad and have no choice but to live through my emotion of that moment. It passes, meanwhile, my body, my mind needed that cleansing. PL Precept #5 One’s self is lost by being emotional Live the moment and move on.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
My love and appreciation to you all.

PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others
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!

Wow.. a barely in focus picture of a wall with ice. Yet this is what struck me yesterday as thought-provoking. I was going through a McDonald’s drive through. When the bigger of the lot had me reaching for the camera. Of course I had one eye on the line ahead of me .. while fumbling for the iPhone in my cluttered backpack.
Can you see the little eye and the bird’s head peeking out at the bottom… Yesterday the whole ice sculpture made me smile and gasp in pleasure.. (I know, I don’t get out much)
All this to say, “to each his/her own” we are all so different and unique from one another. Truth be told, often even to ourselves.
I even had the ice on the left, wanting to be with the others that hung in a group further along the wall. imagination is wonderful.
You have all heard me say time and time again, I like being “happy”
A lesson I am learning especially since my husband passed away, is that happiness is where you find it, and is at times redefining itself. That joy of turning to your partner and without a word, you both know, one of you just had a burst of “happy” or an inspiration, is gone, only the memory remains. Time, love and faith, will heal these moments, but for now…. What is, is.
