Avoid having too many “likes” or “dislikes” Whether it is food, people or anything else in life be careful not to overly like or dislike something. Things tend to get complicated when you allow yourself to be overly one-sided.

This is a picture of Gracie listening to me intently as I try to explain to her why she should trade her toy for the celery I’m offering her. What do you think? Is she buying?
I did get a picture of her trying the celery she is such a good girl, she wanted to try since I was being to adamant on its goodness for her. It wouldn’t sent.. so I’ll have to share that picture another time.
She listened, she tried, she did chew away after the first initial ..”what is this” … celery is chewy and stringy…it made a mess. but to her credit she gave it the old college try.

note if you are coming south on Vanier Parkway and follow it to Bank, you can not turn left at Bank…!! construction has it that you may need to drive all the way past Bronson before you can turn right! I ended up on Riverside.

I can no longer sit like this for hours on end, but I can still sit. and. Sometimes I simply lie back on a deck chair and watch the clouds.
Try it. You might like it. No cell phone, no music, just you and the sky!
Come on… let that shoulder tension go…. imagine being out under that beautiful blue sky… hear the birds off in the distance. Smell that early morning wisp of air that is gently tousling your hair…
Today is a brand new day. Enjoy!

Past – Present – Future
Today – Tomorrow -Yesterday
When was the last time you danced your cares away?
or spent times, just whiling the time away.
I’ve taken to spending time doing “nothing” just listening to the world happen around me. Start with 5 minutes a day and work your way to 10- 15…. its so easy, and simple to do… yet…the challenge is to do it!
daytime, night time make time for YOU

In life we travel down many roads. Some we travel on our own, other times we may walk with friend/partner… but, even tho’ we are on the same path, walking in the same direction, our experience is unique to us. Dare to explore all your possibilities.. For every season there is a reason.

When the winds are so strong you find that your fence gave in to the force. We call this “kamuwaza” (God’s Act)
It happens, you accept it, and deal with it. no more, no less.
Obviously it is time to repair and rebuild.
Life happens, how we accept and deal with the “opportunities” that is on us,
PL Precept # 4 Being annoyed limits your expression.
PL Precept # 5 One’s Self is lost by being emotional.
Weather good, feel like fence building?

Endless sky above – the ground under my feet
Looking up I am filled with wonder
I leaned against my car and just took in the fresh crisp air, I’ve never really done that before.. There was a car parked further down the trail, but aside from that… it was MY moment in time.
Make sure you take time for YOU today. YOU matter.
