Pumpkins

Good Morning Everyone, yesterday had me visiting a pumpkin display at a farm stall in the east end of the city. Festive colour even though there was a strong suggestion of a rainy day ahead.

Life takes us on many journeys. Some are more pleasant than others. You have all gathered by now that I am a bit of an October junkie. What with the changing colours that surround us as all the hardwood trees start showcasing their fall wardrobes and the stores awash with Halloween decor … its a fun festive time and it will only get better as the Holiday season begins… starting usually in early November.

You ready!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Thriller in the last few days…I actually spent time dancing to it last night… Not kidding.. between that and Monster mash… I’m sure my body thought it was having some kind of “nightmare”..

Thursday

Holding unto anger is like holding on to a hot coal so you can pitch it at another…..

Unclutter your mind. If your life is a room, is it full of shadows and dust…?

Bom dia… Welcome another day.

Be creative in your efforts

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.

The body may grow older, but … your time is finally your own…. the spirit grows younger !! Welcome another day !

Pet and Cal dancing in the park….

Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the People who came before you.

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

Dancing allowing the music to flow in and around you… letting your body move to the natural rhythms so you harmonize with the world around you is a wonderful way to “let go” of body stress. Q

Friday

When you are not having fun, could it be because you’re being lazy?

Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

Sunday

Let your gratitude show in your words and actions.

When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud.

How was Montreal? We didn’t get into the city we stopped on the West Island for lunch and ended up staying on the West Island. The colours on the drive were awesome..

landscapes

Time appears to stand still when you come across a peaceful scene along the river. The gentle curving of the walkway meant that you slow down your pace…. your eyes follow the shoreline, birds are singing happily from somewhere off in the distance. It feels good to have the moment to yourself, The sun is high in the sky, but the surrounding trees are providing dappled shade. This walkway follows the wanderings of the Rideau River…along Riverside Drive (Ottawa)… There has been a lot of construction this summer along Bank Street, (cross street) This could be the reason, but in my exploring the other day, there were very few people enjoying the “park” ..note… the colours are starting to appear. Mother Nature has begun to weave her magic.

haunting

I took this picture the other day…. I have been haunted by the tranquility of the place ever since and will head back there this morning. See that small white dot (bird) off on a branch … not being able to get closer with my cell… I am going back this time with my camera.. not that it will still be there, but.. let me see if I will use the camera. I recharged the battery… I hadn’t used it since 2023! maybe even longer. I am terrible ..if a piece of equipment doesn’t work the way I think it should I put it away… now I have to decide.. if I’m not going to use it.. I should pass it along. omg another decision to make!!!!

It is important to say “thank you”

Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself whether it’s food people or things. Learn to accept everything, whether it is something you like or not.

Have a good day everyone.

lundi

The other day while driving down towards the St. Lawrence (river), which is south of where I live, I was surprised to see that some of the trees were already showing signs of fall. We’ve had a very hot and humid summer, but fall doesn’t officially start till mid/late September. Still, I must admit, I am looking forward to the changing season. That fresh crispness that wafts through the air on clear sunny days,

Pay careful attention without overly straining yourself of taking things too lightly

Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.

PL2019.25

Where ever you are in the world, make it a special YOU day. Smile it is such a precious gift.

Curious, have you started preparing for the joyful season coming up? (including the howling time)

resistance

I failed to resist the temptation – I drove to the east end for a steamed hotdog and an order of fries.. (heaping order.. I couldn’t even eat them all!)

Quin tried to resist, but failed in her attempt to not get her nails trimmed.

Sometimes life is just not fair… Did I enjoy my fries and steamed hotdog… Yup! Did Quin thank me for shortening her nails… nnnnnnooo. but… I got her front ones done.. I was pleased.

Express yourself freely within the rules.

If you allow yourself to interpret rules and regulations too rigidly, you are limiting yourself. You can find true joy when you work creatively within the rules.

It is a beautiful day here, I hope the sun is shining where you are…. have a great day!
