Say what needs to be said without hesitation
Do you find yourself compromising, holding back from expressing what is truly in your heart? Don’t be afraid and just say what needs to be said.

Perhaps the rain today is here to help rinse more of the dust and grime from the patio. I cleared it yesterday, actually finally tackled the corner where the outdoor storage items had been over winter. Took down and put away the winter decorations/plants.. and actually made time to just sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Wow. what a concept. relaxing in a lounge chair.. feet up and doing absolutely nothing but listen to the crows and other birds go about their activities. I even went out again after having dinner… and just lay there listening to the sounds from the courtyard
The fresh air, the relaxation… … I actually came in and went to bed for an early night.. my cellphone had been off, I turned it off when I went to church in the morning and totally forgot to turn it back on.
I actually survived the day/night without a phone… will wonders never cease!

church grounds, we are blessed with a natural woodland surrounding part of our land.
How often do you reach the cross road… do you automatically go right, or do you take the trail less travelled?
Treasure each moment in time
Life is a continuation of “now”. Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

Morphologically, trillium plants produce no true leaves or stems above ground. The “stem” is just an extension of the horizontal rhizome and produces tiny, scale like leaves (cataphylls). The above-ground plant is technically a flowering scape, and the leaf-like structures are bracts subtending the flower.(def. internet)
Take care of things as they come to your attention
When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.

When is a door more than just a door – when it lets you in to somewhere you want to be, and closes to give you privacy. I’ve shown you these beauties before.. Was in Almonte the other day got to visit them again.
These doors lead to a place of spiritual growth and personal renewal.,
WE enter and leave through doors constantly ,. some we never give a second thought to… do we ever give thanks or show appreciation for the service they render … smiles… ok… just think about how many doors you encounter in every day of your amazing life. If you had a nickel for every door you have used in your lifetime to date… I think our piggy bank would be full to bursting.
Happy Thursday everyone. – Smile . . . let someone know you care….

Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble
You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boatful mind. Always remember to be humble.
