Some days we just want to go back to bed

But

it is not a luxury we can afford

so, we get up and soldier on

hopefully you will listen to what a I am going to say

Always be true to yourself – because you can never escape the inner YOU

Never miss an opportunity to let someone know you care – the day will come when that will no longer be possible.

Bom dia

How can it be, we are already almost at the midway mark in September. You doing OK?

Yesterday I took another step in simplifying my existence. I cancelled another financial company from my books. I received what I strongly suspected was e-mail (phishing). When I tried to call/connect with the financial institution… I was only able to get automated responses, and/or a bot. After hourS of being sent from one automated response to another, I was able to leave a message for a call back.

When the call back came… guess what.. it was an automated voice… and only after a push this, that, etc.. did a human voice come on. The representative was of course very polite and helpful (scripted responses tho’ and a format that they seem to follow) I was assured that there was nothing unusual or recent in/on my account.

I had been dealing with the firm for many years, and I had enjoyed good service. BUT now that they have decided humans are replaceable with Ai … bots.. automated everything.. I no longer want to interact… so I cancelled my account with them. Period. The employee apologized and explained they were trying out this new system etc…and still working on smoothing things out ..however, I have had enough.. I will regroup… I will manage… but wasting hours trying to resolve what would have taken .. or should have taken, maybe 15, 20 minutes (not an afternoon).. is not for me.

I like a stress free life.. I like being happy…

doors

Top two pictures were taken in Europe by friends travelling, everyone knows I have a passion for doors. (you think) ” No need to bring anything back, looks for interesting doors” There is never a shortage. What would we do without -doors-

Good morning everyone. Can you feel the change in the early morning air. I’m loving it!

Bonnie took me out for my first birthday month lunch yesterday, crab and shrimp linguine with fresh asparagus in an Alfredo sauce. It was ok, the company was superb! I knew I could have a problem with the Alfredo sauce, but I tried it anyway seafood and fresh asparagus… hey! (yes I had a reaction… but ah… once in awhile… some of us never learn!)

I am responsible for my actions.. sigh… does that sound grown up or what!

Have a good day everyone, for more doors from all over the world… please have a look at Dan’s site No Facilities, link below (if you like fun books, when you visit his site, check out his recent book)

Remember to share a smile today.

mid week

Quiet the judgements of yourself and others.


Yesterday…. I drove to my current “fav” place to zone. I saw a pile of ? in the area that is very rocky … against the dumped rocks .. whatever it was. .. stood out… I live in a major city, in a Province that is in eastern Canada… Its late summer, coming into early fall, If you know our geography here, its lush vegetation, … the fall colours are starting to show.. our ordinary if there such a thing as an ordinary rock, is dark earth tones. This blob … stood out…

This is what I found.

My first reaction was “what” another person using the natural environment as a dump. (negative reaction) then… I saw before me… a treasure of sea shells. this is a picture of what I left behind. I spent a happy few “minutes” discovering wonders from the sea.. it was like finding a treasure chest.

postive/negative

Cheers everyone!
