Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot!!! A couple more days and then it will be in the upper 70’s. That will probably feel cold after this. I would rather be too hot because I always can find a way to cool off. When I’m cold, I never get warm enough or for long enough.

Another day of running for mom. I think I will be home the rest of the weekend. Busy week ahead again – it’s hard taking care of two households. Booked the beach vacation today for next January. Something to look forward to in the cold months. Jake is wagging his tail sending cool breezes your way.

Here triple digits here have a drink.

You are now in Club Sheba

@kittengirl,

I hope the temps are alright in Cali for you. Sending hugs to the kittens.
Enjoy this time and I hope all went well with your son’s visit.

@shoelady60,

Good Afternoon in the Burgh. Yeah, triple digits all weekend here in OZ. Oh, I just love
these dog days of summer. NOT!

We may have rain in a few days my flowers could use some. My mouth is feeling better
I still have a decision to see a specialist for something that the dentist cannot see.

You and Jake relax and enjoy whatever comes your way. 🙂 Thank you for keeping my
family in your prayers.

@71flowerchild,

Good Morning my tooth is feeling somewhat better. I have a decision to make if I want
to see the specialist I know that would entail a Root Canal. Bring it on!

I hope Little D and Jewel are having a good day Poppy and I are waving. 🙂 How do you
feel? I am drinking some Andrew Lessman and still taking meds. Triple Digits too all I can
say is SHIZZLE! That’s Life!

Flower your dogs are incognito. LOL! Too cute. 🙂

Cherie,

Enjoy your Ocean Trip. I hope you are unplugged from everything. Have a great time. 🙂

The New Lion King is out this weekend. 🙂

@taci,

Good Morning on the shores of Cali. 🙂 Yes, I am enjoying all things Heidi Daus. 🙂

SNAKES! The mere thought of seeing them all tangled in some weeds in my yard
is enough for me. YIKES! Carry that stick with you no matter where you take your
walk. Triple Digits here in OZ all the way through the weekend. Shizzle! LOL!

@bichon18,

Good Afternoon to you and Jerry. We will be in triple digits all weekend long.
Now that’s HOT! I would love to be on the Ocean right about now. LOL!

I hope this day finds you and Little Ari doing well. My tooth is feeling better what I have
to decide is if I want to see the specialist. I have until the weekend to think it over.

Meanwhile the dog gone tooth is calm and I want it to stay that way. 🙂

Looking forward to seeing Andrew Lessman. 🙂 The Lion King comes out this weekend I
am trying to work Elton John’s Movie in and the Lion King. 🙂

I hope you relax or swim today that sounds heavenly. Hugs to Little Ari from me and Poppy.

Hi Mommy me and Chloe are just having some fun today. 🙂

Returning to Creative Dreams

Take the time to reclaim your creativity, and watch your life blossom as a result.

As children, many of us entertained fantasies or even goals of being an actor, singer, dancer, artist, or musician. In some cases, we received enough encouragement to develop our abilities in those creative arenas, but somewhere along the way we stopped. This stopping may have been due to circumstances beyond our control or to our own unconscious acts of self-sabotage. Being creative can be scary in a world that seems to value logic over imagination and practicality over dreaming. We can forgive ourselves for shutting down or turning our attention away from our inner artist, but perhaps we can also take steps to reclaim our dreams.

In certain times and places, developing a creative ability was considered an important part of being a well-rounded human being. It was not necessary to be a professional or a masterly genius, because the act of creativity was valued in and of itself. It gifts are manifold–from the sheer pleasure of allowing our imaginations free reign to sharing and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Children share drawings and songs freely, without self-consciousness, and there is no reason why we cannot do the same thing. You may already be remembering some lost form of expression, such as making jewelry or writing songs. Your soul may be responding with an energetic lift as it feels its way back to a time when it was allowed to express itself freely. Your brain, on the other hand, may be throwing up obstacles, like the idea that you are too old or do not have the time.

The truth is, you are not too old, and if you have time to pick up a pen, you have time to make a doodle or write a haiku. Recognize that the obstacles you find before you have arisen from a place of fear and that they will wane in power every time you do something creative. Each creative act takes you deeper into a realm of beauty and magic, a realm that you have every right to return to and reclaim.

@loaf,

You are a sweetheart as always. Let’s roll out those lazy hazy days of summer. 🙂
Loaf your granddaughter will be a Fashion Queen like her Nana. 🙂

Loaf she will learn real soon that you can never have too many clothes. LOL!
