Trees

When the “boyz” decorate, they don’t fool around, these are just a few of the trees that decorate their home during the holidays.

I usually go out to take pictures after they are set up…. this will all be enjoyed with their annual New Year’s “come visit” party…I have watched as every year, a new year or new theme gets added.. Even the exterior of the home is festive bringing a smile to all who drive by …Believe on cold dreary days travelling through the snowy challenges.. Canadian winters can offer up… seeing this festive display shining out at you never fails to bring smiles and cheer a traveller on their way. (promise more pictures soon)

This year I have been visited by a persistent flu germ…. what a nuisance, It is visiting the least patient of humans… its been an unwelcome guest for weeks. leaving me tired and uninterested in simply everything. How are you doing? We are days away from the jolly holiday …you ready?

If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

Time for parties, dancing, good music, everyone dressing up, strutting their holiday costumes, it was nice to see everyone sharing in a couple of hours of Holiday music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag8tA_ycIrQ

Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day.

Each and everyone of your actions can inspire peace within your family your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to world peace.

Not everyone celebrates the same way, be aware of differences, share your smile, offer kindness with Makoto (sincerity).. Celebrate the season.

The path to achievement is “to start with what you can do”

Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

Have you been naughty or nice… ? … a little of both makes for an interesting moment in time.

Tuesday

Have you been rushing around trying to get things done? Is the world a whirl wind of activity around you? There are days, you look up and its bedtime already. You hit the bed only to find that now your mind won’t stop planning and thinking. Have you noticed that the ceiling is not all that interesting. Life happens!

As we “mature” and find ourselves seemingly doing the same things year after year. Example. How many times have I heard… “next year, I’m going to” …. when the time comes around the following year ..it is only when you are rushing around again, doing what you did last year … trying to cram everything into a limited amount of time….. that…. Oh! Geez! you recall your reminder from last year.

Not to worry. I’m serious. If something doesn’t get done, it wasn’t supposed to. You do what you can, when you can. Life is what it is, you are who you are. No more no less.

Your willingness to learn will make you shine even brighter

As long as you are motivated to learn more, you will continue to progress in life.

PL2020.16

Dad would look up .. point to a twinkling star and say ” that is your reflection…. it’s waving to you” You might feel sad, but the Universe will always remind you, you are never alone and always, you are loved.

When I am faced with a blank ceiling, I close my eyes and picture a canopy of twinkling stars…

now

People gather, party, dance, share moments of simply enjoying music and friendships.. This is the time of year people are out and about more than they usually are… make sure to enjoy the season, share your smile. It is also the time of quiet reflection. Whatever you decide, it is your decision.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others,

Snow covers the ground a beautiful blanket of white. Holiday music is heard every where we go. You ready for the season of holiday cheer and festive gatherings? Not to be a wet blanket, but it isn’t a holiday for everyone, please be aware of the hardships others may be facing.

Sincere condolences and prayers go out to the families that are facing the loss of a family member… or having to spend time in the health care facilities who are open 24/7. The support workers who work holiday and shifts, who can’t just stop what they are doing to celebrate. Hats off to the work crews who no matter what the day, night … if the weather decides to play havoc with travel, they are out working to keep our roads safe. Its not a party for everyone…

Work happily with good rhythm

If you take on your tasks willingly, you will enjoy the task and you may even be rewarded with a more positive outcome.
