Stop Hesitating. it is more natural for you to be direct and say what is on your mind. Holding back or hesitating is unnecessary

PL Precept #1 Life is Art
PL Principle # 1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,
Life has been “busy” and “cold” we are coming out of a cold snap, last night before bed, maybe around 10pm I was out shoveling snow, clearing the play area in the backyard so that Keeper could go out and not be having to maneuver through the snow..again, yup it was snowing again. Yes, I could wait till this morning, but then,,, there would be more of it, and I have things I do in the morning, (routines) Besides, it was dark, it was quiet, and I could go out and shovel in the darkness of night, and simply BE.
All was calm and good till I realized I couldn’t find my cell phone. No wonder it had been so quiet. !!! Fortunately I was able to send a message to a friend (via PC) .. who called me… Eventually the delinquent phone was found…. which reminds me, I have to go find my cell phone and clear the messages.. or no one will be able to leave a message, Is it just my cell, or do all cell phones only allow for 2 messages?
Life is good if this is my only dilemma this morning. Have a good one everyone! Blink and we will be in February.
Anyone try the banana tea?

Have you been rushing around trying to get things done? Are you constantly on the go? Let’s take a moment to sit together, come on, you are at having a moment to look over incoming missives.. let’s just sit together for a moment. I’ll close my eyes, you close yours.. take a deep breath.. and just let this moment BE .. slowly exhale, and wait .. count to 10 may be even 15 till you open up your peepers again.
Big smile.. did you feel the quiet envelope you. It s a feel good moment, just for you.
Share a smile with someone today, no reason,, just because…
They won’t be encumbered by the constant chatter of “noise” that we humans contend with in our daily lives, but they will have their own share of “dangers” - Carry goodwill to all, in all you say and do.. always.
time
I came across a midnight clear . Then woke to a morning bright
Although not a cloud in sight I felt as if I’d left part of me behind in the night
Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also e well balanced,,

snow anyone?
Please note .. this is NEW snow, that snow from the other day, was all gone .. yesterday my driveway was clean of snow. What you see here is new from last night and ongoing at the moment. I did try to shovel a path to the street so I could see if the street itself was plowed. It isn’t. In shoveling my way to the street, just a path to walk .. I created a mound in the middle of the lane, that was waist high. Needless to say, even if I wanted to.. I can’t get out of the garage, when I cleared in front of the garage door, I was left with a pile of snow to back out over that was higher than my waist, I stand 5’3″…..
Keeper when I opened the back door for her, just turned her head and looked back at me, the expression so clearly said… “you are kidding me right?” Sadly I had not cleared a foot path for her, and she needed to go, so she had to solider on. (I’ve seen taken the shovel and made a small path for her to at least get off the deck … We’ve had over a foot of snow and it is still falling. Temperatures are going to get milder, with the snow changing to rain…
Guess who is staying home. Will have to call and cancel my 9 a.m.

On the positive, it was only snow, no freezing rain to coat the trees and hydro wires.. causing potential black outs. etc. I did not hear of power outages in the area.. but I haven’t listened to the news either .. I was focused on seeing if I could get out..
Where-ever you are, be safe, and enjoy the day. Smile, it is contagious.

Has your winter been gray and overcast, thanks to a wonderful photographer who travels with her camera, we have pictures taken during a visit to Upper Canada Village to see the lights in late December, Thanks Chantal for sharing!
We had a dull overcast month of December, it was not a white Christmas, the ski hills had to make do with artificial snow, so die hard skiers’ were able to get some activity’s in… It is a brand new year, and we are already into the first week of it. When I saw Chantal’s pictures it was a wow factor, the past month had been so “sad and low key” for me. It was a reminder to me that there is life outside the “walls” of “my world”.
The best timing is when you notice. When you notice something, it is God sending you a message, Act right away so you don’t miss good timing

Experience the joy of being kind to others. The joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. Always strive to be a person who can be kind to others.

Good morning,, remember this little guy, he came by like clockwork during the feedings late summer and into the fall. He would gather up all the peanuts he could and would scurry across the parking lot, way across into the trees in the distance. Now of course, he and his mates are “in” for the winter. When I’m feeding the morning diners now,,,. it is the red squirrels that are gathering, chattering and nattering at each other.. what a noisy crew.
With the dip in the weather again, the other day I had to have had two dozen or more Blue Jays raining down on me when I finally arrived with breakfast. This sound of that many flapping feathers zooming past me and around me, is rather “addictive” once you used to it. They actually dive bomb, with precision. It is something…. they come from all sides and angles, never an accident … I wonder if they have a way of communicating .. or is it, the fasted one to the target is the winner.
The lay out of the other Feeding area is of course different, so the jays there have a different method. What is truly amazing to me at this location is that some watch from perches really high up in the taller trees … The jays at the second location are also .. I think a tad smaller. For me its like being in Grand Central Station watching the events unfold from all directions, and at various level. The red squirrels can lead a merry chase,,, while the Jays zoom in with a purpose, the little reds chase each other while carrying on a verbal barrage of scolding and warnings… that go unheeded by the bigger black and silver fox coloured squirrels.
Meanwhile if I get to serve up the meals properly the woodpeckers and the smaller birds blissfully go about enjoying their breakfast while the ground activity bustles on. Didn’t see the Merlin the last couple of days, maybe he’s found a quieter patch. I have a rogue Raven who has been patrolling the area… and he is very vocal…

The rain these past days, has washed away much of the snow. Somehow I doubt that we will be spared a visit from the snow queen who will make up for her delay with gust and enthusiasm to paint the landscapes white again. The critters have been very busy storing what they are gathering …a lot of take out. Given a choice on the menu, the favourite has been the peanuts in their shells. the shelled peanuts are left in favour of the ones in a shell.. a big Thank You to my neigbour that left me an almost full bag of the black sunflower seeds, they LOVE those.
Images from Egypt taken recently, my niece, nephew and family are visiting, it was nice to see some history … I see a little sliver of blue sky! What a great experience for the great nieces.
