2021/12/09 [True joy] You won’t be able to enjoy real joy (the joy of the soul) if you try to get pleasure by taking it easy, such as “Is there anything good? The joy of being able to solve difficulties and difficult problems, and the joy of being able to do something that pleases others, are the real joy that no one can take away. -translated in Japan .. PL lesson for the 9th.
When every door is given a special decoration – there isn’t a door in the house that isn’t showing off a beaming “happy holidays” decoration. The owners of this special haven get better and better each year at pulling together a look that shouts “HAPPY HOLIDAYS’ to everyone who passes by, or has the pleasure of an actual indoor tour.
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.

A home says a lot about the people who live in them. This home is filled with love and joy of many many bouncing whippets and borzoi …
I am very blessed to have these two human beings in my life and consider them family. I’m so proud of what they do and the love they give to each and every little heart that comes into their lives.
Till soon. This is the month to shine with holiday decorations, but the love that we shine out to the world with our smiles/friendships is priceless.

Each person’s peace leads to world peace. First of all, you have to be happy. That happiness will spread and be the foundation of World Peace.

I posted these yesterday, but wanted to use them again today, why.. I stood for some time at the bridge looking at those two logs.. wondering how they got there, and if I wanted to move them.. errr.. it was a thought, I didn’t attempt to move them. They were wrapped in a light icing of ice… and I didn’t have on my Bogs (water boots) … eepps I can hear and see the fingers pointing, honest it was just a thought I did not attempt in any way shape or form to move the logs.. it will have to wait till spring now =^_^=
The fungus on the tree was another moment in time. I wanted to pull out my chair (it was in the trunk of my car) sit and just visit with the display. The fungi was growing out in a number of places on the one trunk. There was such a variety of shapes and colour patterns. Life is so colourful and textured!
The log end, I want to see its progress over the winter, how it will pretty up as the snow and ice build on it. Right now.. what little snow is there .. may or may not stay depending on the weather we get in the next while. However the ground does seem to be already settling into “frozen” mode.
Be free of your attachments. If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible.

Will the day ever come when I will not marvel at how wonderful the world is we live in. I hope not.
Good morning everyone. I’m hearing more and more about how the weather is affecting our moods. It is not even the darkest of days yet… and already there is moaning about the lack of sunshine and the shorter days. Yesterday was the 21st. in another month, the days will start getting longer again. Besides it is not the daylight that determines if we are having a good day or not, it is your mind set.
Things come about when they are meant to happen. Enjoy the moment while you wait. Think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome.

Free yourself from being overly attached. Overthinking hinders ideas and actions.
Change your mind, thinking “it will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached.

So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storms of life and lived – or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?
Hunter S Thompson
To be great – you must be mindful of nine things: To SEE beyond where you look. To LISTEN beyond what you hear. To be GENTLE in judgement. To be RESPECTFUL in manners. To be TRUE to your word. To take PRIDE in your work. To ASK when in doubt. To think of the CONSEQUENES when angry. To think of JUSTICE and fairness when accepting an advantage.
In looking for pictures for a door, I came across something I had written, don’t know when, long enough ago that I had tucked it away in a book and only found it again last night when I pulled the book out to look up something. Obviously it was back when I had a printer. Since I need to retype it to get it on the PC.. I’m going to share it with you – as is- I will leave a link at the end of the post to Dan’s No facilities .. where you will find more doors … I had titled the page.. The Sun.
The Sun – written by me, sometime in the past,
The sun that had warmed and welcomed her earlier that day, was no longer friendly. She lay in quiet despair, feeling the unrelenting heat, burrow down deeper into her body. The ground under her was hard, unforgiving and uncaring that her body hurt. Where once she thought of the sun as a healing energy and one that gave life, she now thought only of how it was slowly killing her with its scorching blistering persistence on her now barely living shell.
The long slender arm that once gracefully waved to friends and showed her animation for life now lay limp and useless across her dry eyes. Her parched throat tried in vain to find one tiny drop of saliva anything to relieve the thirst that raged inside of her. She felt her soul evaporating drop by drop into the stillness around her. Nothing moved. The animals knew to conserve their energy. Not a sound could be heard… and she had no energy left to try to cry for help.
How long she lay in the semi state of consciousness, no one would ever know … all hope for rescue was gone, she simply let herself go.
It was in that moment, that she felt rather than saw a presence. She knew her eyes would not open, could not open, her strength was gone. Maybe the angels had come to take her away from this burning inferno. Maybe… she would once more feel the cool of a shaded nook, and feel the fresh green grass beneath her feet. If she were to die now… she would be rescued from this horrible state of passive death.
What was that … a sweet smell .. the air around her had changed… then yes… she felt a drop on her lips. A gentle rain, just enough to slowly wind its way down her throat and give a feeling of reprieve. She knew she could not move… so she lay and accepted the gift from the gods.. her body was bathed in healing rain, drop by drop she felt her skin greedily take it in.
Maybe she would see tomorrow… maybe there was hope… as her body drank this blessing from above, she felt the earth beneath her begin to take shape and mould to her now drenched body. Her arms that had been limp and useless now began to lift in prayer to the skies.
Her eyes opened to the world and she knew she could stand tall and be strong again. In letting go and accepting the moment of despair, she had welcomed the unknown, in doing so it became her friend… She was free to embrace the sun again… for each death is a new life. Always and forever.
I stepped through a door from the past, I don’t know why or what the reason was for my little ‘story” but it still resonates with me today.
Do everything willingly and joyfully. Your upbeat attitude will make things more cheerful and enjoyable.
Tangled up in emotions that swirl like a foaming sea on a wild winter’ day.
Strive to overcome obstacles by changing your mind- frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things. The outcome is in your hands.

Never assume that what you see, is what is happening…. or what you hear is what is being said.
We all have a door that has been closed and locked for some time, so long in fact, you’re not sure when the last time you opened it and went inside.
Maybe it is just one of many doors and windows you’ve boarded up and turned away from. These doors may be closed and boarded up, but what is inside, and the memories and emotions that were experienced, and given birth to behind these doors, they remain hazy discarded objects in dusty corners of our minds.
With time, the door finally simply disappears or opens and what can be found inside, is often vacant space and long forgotten pieces of yesterday that no longer have meaning in your/our world today.
There is always another door, one that is inviting, or beckoning, From my experience, when a door opens, you cannot escape that reality that you will face. Just because there is a door .. doesn’t mean it is meant for you. Some door we are meant to enjoy from a distance. They are part of someone else’s “storyline” The “secrets” they hold .. belong in another book,
You will recognize the doors that will welcome you, when you cross the threshold you will know and feel the positive and healing energies… We all have such doors in our lives… sometimes we tend to pass them without thought, other times, perhaps we need to make time to reacquaint ourselves with what lies beyond, it is only in facing and cleaning out cobwebs that fresh air can penetrate and cleanse.
When we declutter, when we face our troubles, only then can we see clearly to move ahead and past our “self imposed” limitations.
There will always be a way If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that, you had not considered before.
