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.

Friday

When the anticipation of having lobster with soba noodles gets to be too much and you have to indulge. I like to cook them and let them cool, then I simply enjoy the succulent meat with the noodles. Yummy!

How was your holiday gathering…? We have been bombarded for a week about the sales happening, in some cases, the black Friday sales have been on for almost a week!

Yesterday I ran around trying to find pumpkin pie, it was everywhere during the Canadian Thanksgiving, I finally found one so I could have A piece. yes A, meaning a single piece… As much as I love a piece of pumpkin pie smothered with whipped cream… I can only indulge in one piece. Desserts are not high on my list, but the pumpkin pie was the one memory I had of sharing time with my Mom… it was a time where we shared the guilty secret of enjoying the treat on our own… (we were both diabetics) Pies elevate sugar levels!!! Mom has been gone now for almost 10 years…. festive holidays were always so important to her. So altho’ I tend to withdraw into a a quiet laid back day … I do remember her love of sharing a meal with her family, I might be inspired to call my sister.

Simple message today, it is so simple .. it slips easily past your thought process .. after you’ve read it… and agree, yup, you need to slow down… it gets tucked away … and forgotten. Please… take a few minutes today for YOU. Really, really make time for YOU.

re. lobster. No I don’t drown it in garlic butter.. altho’ that is one dip I enjoy… lately I am eating it plain, savouring the taste of the meat on its own. It is healthier for me … no after effects.. there are some great Asian sauces that are a treat, but again.,, sauces contain sugar..

The Soba noodles I drain, and cool them down under the cold water tap, then toss them in a very light seasoning.. depending on my taste wants of that moment. sprinkled with black or white sesame seeds is fun. I found a Vietnamese sauce with a tang that hits the spot too.

Sometimes there are no explanations, life is simply what it is. No more, no less.

Put your whole heart into whatever you do, no matter when or where you are. Don’t try to cut corners or be careless about things. Be fully responsible, completing whatever you set out to do.

Yup… a beaver has been busy.

When you get stuck, take a step back
