Good morning, welcome to a small town along the highways as I made my way towards Valleyfield, Quebec.
.I looked up and saw the door leading …out to no where – then I spied this old concrete structure with the wonderful wrap around veranda.. it must have been a great vantage point for the town parades in the days of its past glory. I am thinking it could have been the village general store.., It was a delightful find.
Today’s thought -reflection.
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart
Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy. (PL2021.3)
Here is something else to think about. The other day my neighbour said to me ” soon we won’t be able to enjoy a banana” .. when I Iooked puzzled she said.. “no seeds in the watermelons, no seeds in the bananas, our food is being so manipulated (GMO) there are no seeds to carry on the wonderful fruits and vegetables as we knew them. Sure enough, when I got home, my watermelon, had no seeds, not one. and…. I’m told you have to pick where you get your bananas, they are not always enjoyable to eat (texture)
Have a good day everyone!

It isn’t always easy, but when there is a will, there is a way!
If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.
No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. (PL2014.26)

tick one more item off my bucket list. meet my forever dragon.
I have been a lifetime living with a mystical dragon who roamed the galaxy .. coming home from time to time to tell of his adventures or to lend support. Yesterday the wonderful tat artist from Brisbane, Australia was back in Ottawa (Samantha Read).. I was one of the fortunate ones able to book with her for this visit. Thank you Sam, I have waited a long time for my dragon to appear. You can see Sam’s work on Instagram,https://www.instagram.com/samreadtattoos/ she travels the globe, who knows you may be lucky and she will be headed your way at some time. Tats are not for everyone, you remember when I got my bee those many years ago. It was a big step for me… but I took it… and with that first step, came many “adventures”. I stepped out of my comfort zone, and found a whole new world of possibilities.
If you’re 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. (PL.2014.23)
Happy start to a new week, make it a happy one!

Booooo hoooooo it is no longer light when I get up. Fall is officially here. Not crazy about the darkness, but love that fall is here and all the wonders of nature that begin to emerge.
You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task.
When you face your tasks with a can do attitude, you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration. (PL2020.22)

It’s in the air… I even have the urge to do another autumn junk journal or wicked multi media piece. Doesn’t that hint of October that is tainting the air… send a delightful chill up your spine. I see the Halloween stores have already begun to set up. Gotta dust off my broom today….. find my hat, especially now I live with a cat!
Flexibly adapt to changes. The world around you changes, and so do you. Enjoy the transformations and deal with them flexibly. (PL2015.31)

Drove to Montreal yesterday, this is the vista that greeted me along most of the highway along the 40 corridor. Especially as I got closer to the border. The cool snap we’ve been having is affecting the vegetation. Going to be a magnificent display over the next weeks or so. Time to go exploring!
Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serve to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself. (PL2015.30)
Driving along the highway, a route that had been so familiar to me a few years back. I realized how long it had been since I had let the miles roll past me .. heading out of the city… on a day of exploration. Alone with my thoughts, I found that my mind wanted to be where it was content. It was actually a very nice feeling to realize that I was feeling happy and positive… true… I could still feel that I was wanting to “get somewhere” when really I had no where I needed to be. at least not right away.
We come from NO where, drive into NOW here…. only to head back to where we started, NO Where … It is all about spacing.
I used to drive and formulate or work out my “projects” practice my “talks” “presentations” alone in the car I can even sing off key. But yesterday was a day for silence and letting my thoughts wander to happy feelings where emotions and intimacies featured in the “interesting” reels that played out against the backdrop of the burgeoning fall colours. The outing reminded me.. slowing down, is important,, there is no need to always “have” to “get things done” at top speed.

I attended a podcast by a Rabbi yesterday… when we step outside our comfort zones, we can discover and learn a lot about a subject we think we already “know about”.
I also learned that one needs to clean the straw being used to drink ice coffee… yuck accumulates .. ugh. I did /do have special brushes to do so.. I just wasn’t doing it!!!
