words we say,
we can never take back
once spoken
they linger
time may erase the pain
but, long after
the scars remain
TRUE love given
no matter the distance
will remain true
and, should there be pain
pure love will see us through
words can lie
real love is felt
often unsaid
yet the bond transcends
above and beyond
always and forever
today, tomorrow and always
GOD IS
no more, no less

Good Tuesday morning to one and all. I have used this picture before, I don’t recall where I got it, but it is one I’ve obviously kept. It still has an appeal.
I believe in balance. There is no wrong without there being a right. Everything seems so subjective, it is not always easy to find objectivity. We try. At times it is like walking a tight rope with no safety net. Even when we see and intellectually know the safety net is there, We doubt.
Today, no matter what, I want a happy day. So… I found Pippa’s post on Instagram… come on… doesn’t she make you smile. She gets my smile every time.
It is our choice, to want a happy day, or to allow challenges to cloud our day. PL Precept #1 Life is Art. Sometimes we need creativity to see the opportunities, if you need a boost, find what makes you smile and go for it.

Happy Saturday everyone! – enjoy some armchair traveling.
Hello on Thursday! This is the door I’ve tried to get to for the last month or so. I remember when this house was occupied and the welcoming decorations that adorned the door in years past.
I chanced the drive up the long drive way, but no… there was no way I could closer or move the brush to take a clear picture of the door. Such is life, it looks like the homes on the next door lot have also been purchased, and are being left to… waste away as the weather does its work on them.
Eventually the contractor will come, tear them down, some new buildings will go in, condos, or another type of multiple family building, with little to no green space for the children to play. It is happening all over, I’m sure not only in our city.
A door was often a welcoming part of the home, during times of celebrations, or events, they would be a place to decorate, with festive colours and maybe even a banner. Welcoming guests, just being plain neighbourly. People know their neighbours, children played with each other, learned about how each lived. Learned to respect and enjoy another’s culture if it was different from their own, and even if it was similar, no two families were carbon copies of the other.
My doors today, have had life take over, and are no longer the symbol of welcome they once were. Please, visit Norm 2.0 for his blog and a link to other Thursday Doors
Does your door open to new possibilities, on a regular basis?
Every day we are blessed with new opportunities. For a healthy life, it is our responsibility to keep our passage way/doorway uncluttered.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity.
The fun of starting something new, is that one never really knows what it will end up to be. what I showed you yesterday, and this today, are beginnings. Like one would sketch an idea, I am using fabric. Already when working this piece last night, I could see a glimmer of what I was NOT doing, that I think I will try when I continue playing,
When we look at a visual, it leaves an impression, that our gray cells will process in different ways, over the course of minutes, hours, days, who knows when what you saw, will reclaim a moment of your “now” to present itself in a different way.
Whatever your medium, photography, paint, ink, text, fabric, if you are expressing yourself, through a visual, the colours, patterns, shapes and textures that impressed themselves on your psyche will show up. Some colour combinations will never draw my attention, because, my “personal” makeup is drawn to shadows/light and colours that are attractive to me.
This is one of the reasons I love life, and find it so fascinating. I “see” the world in such a magical way. I loved this picture, didn’t know why till I got it home and saw it on my PC screen. When I took the picture, it was instinct. Now all I see is the wild animal preparing to chow down. =^_^=
Beginnings never have to end. Love the choices you make in a day, embrace the adventure of life. Appreciate your friends. Life IS.

Shadows cast their imprint on the forest floor, not looking up, I wanted to read the storyline that played out on the fallen pines and organic debris that carpeted the way
autumn sun was high in the sky, so that the filtered light cast beautifully defined lines against the rusted shades of brown and grays that lay textured, the perfect foil for the images being projected for our viewing.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art.
How we creatively interact with the challenges and opportunities that come our way, if we were to see them only visually, it would be like the shadows shown above. dynamic and static meeting as ONE.

Perth on the Tay
sometimes,
we wander to the right
but get tempted to venture
to the left
sometimes
we wander right into the fire
where there is nothing to do
but close our eyes
nice and tight
till our thoughts
wander back into the light
only we ourselves can define our reality
PL Precept #11 Always be with God
wherever you wander,
you are NEVER alone

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
look at me – flying so high
I am in the sky
riding the free-flowing breeze
oh… to never touch ground
yikes, if I do, will I be found
go away negative thought
God pilots my path
and in God’s grace/love
I have faith and know
wherever I go
it will be where I am bound
for God is always with me
I am never alone

Field fresh tomato, sliced with a toasted bagel, and 4% cottage cheese. I just discovered the 4%, in the past I’ve opted for 1%, BUT with hubby needing as much protein and nutrition as I can get into him. I got the 4%………now I’m in love.. doubt I will go back to 2 or 1% Just looking at the picture I want to have my breakfast all over again. (Natrel by Sealtest)
This is a picture taken by my nephew, Darren Su, he is a wonderful photographer, who can always capture a figure or sunset in a way that shows it at its best. Seeing this picture again, was a reminder to me that in life, we need always be prepared. Not necessarily to do battle, but to seize new opportunities in a way that will be creative and bring our desired results .. this means… it is important to arm ourselves with stress busters and a healthy lifestyle.
Spend time with a canine friend. If you have a whippet like we do, they are true couch potatoes in the house… emulate their techniques of relaxation =^_^=
Remember – PL Precept #18 Each Moment is a Turning Point….
Happy start of a new week… from our home to yours… Blessings & Sunshine hugs.
Here Velcro is smooching up to his uncle John. Velcro didn’t wait for a second invitation to get on the couch.. Gosh anyone would think he gets to do that at home too… everyone out there, who knows how Velcro rules the roost, stop snickering.

Church Garage Sale, September 16. from 8 a.m to 2
Ancesters’ Day on the 11th. service at 10 a.m.
Magical
Futuristic, a playground for my “Me” time. I’ve gone back to the gym. My favourite place, my get away Movati Athletic … It was time, I’ve been back a couple of days now, and it is wonderful. Staff have changed, the older carpet has been replaced, still the magic of the place is intact.
Having started with them back in the late 90’s when they opened, it was where I wanted to be. I went up to the co-ed floor today, a must for me, it means walking up the flight of stairs, there is an elevator, but the whole idea is for me to start rebuilding my whole over-all “body”.
My fit bit was very happy, I finally met and exceeded my goal that I had set for myself. =^_^= sparkles went off when I looked at my figures.. Yay!!!!
On my way home from errands, I went into on of my “haunts” and woweeeee I found a Madame Alexander Doll (2014) She was not in the best shape, her hair was a total mess, and all frizzy. Her body was scuffed and marked, but…. never having had one to check out up close and personal, I brought her home. She has been bathed and washed, and her hair cleaned, but it will be awhile before I get all the knots and frizz under control, IF it can be done.
Took items to the church for the upcoming garage sale, remember everyone, mark your calendars, September 16, Saturday from 8 am – 2 pm. 1010 Hunt Club, Ottawa,On. Church of Perfect Liberty
Icing on the cake… I got home to find a big happy balloon tied to a floral dish garden. Thoughtful friends in Australia, reached across the globe, with their love and healing prayers. Muah darlings, I will write soon.
My husband and I have been overwhelmed with the love and friendship that has been coming our way. This is a journey that is truly blessed in many many ways. We our humbled by the love that has transcended the distance of geography and time. Thank you for letting us know, we are not alone.
