Questions

Where does all our/your excess end up? That is material things, what about the baggage that can’t be seen or held?

What was, often still is. How often do you review, and tidy up. We think we do, but how deep do we dive.

What are your true intentions, Not just with others, but towards your “self” ??

PL day 24 Listen and see with careful attention. Not only to your words, but to your actions.

Bom dia, Uma maravilhosa quarta-feira a todos! (thank you Suzana for the translation) =^_^=

meditation/prayer

hwy to alfred7

Stay awhile, simply stand, sit, wait, till the sounds around you, are the only thoughts you hear. Feel the breeze, take in the smells, you will feel you body start to relax.

hwy to alfred8 Walk slowly, for now, in this moment, you have no other place to be. SAy these words quietly to yourself, right now. Then close your eyes, take a deep breath, feeling your lungs expand smile then slowly open your eyes. Ahhhh how easy was that.

Go in peace my friend. You are loved.

a quiet moment

hwy to alfred1

Quiet, blue skies, puffy clouds, shadows, the dignity of dying, allowing for the next season to begin. Gratitude and Acceptance.

Some stay behind, some go on to reclaim their freedom, their work on earth is done.

cranberried chicken wings

chicken wings how many wings will determine the amount of cranberries you use

fresh cranberries I used half a cup for about a pound of wings

half cup of honey garlic sauce I prefer the strong garlic, but medium and mild is sold

pink Himalayan salt to taste

simmer in a pot with about an inch of water, wine if you prefer

keep heat low, let it simmer covered till meat is falling off the bones

Serve on rice or noodles.

If you are not a person who enjoys the delight of sucking tender meat off the bones, this is not a dish for you.

next time I think I will add a black Japanese pepper to add to the sweet and tart of the dish.

Side dish is always mounds of a fresh veggies, steamed and served still on the crisp side.

Enjoy

Bom dia, greetings … hope you are heading off to have a super fab week-end.

Church Sunday 21st will be the Thanksgiving Ceremony, morning 10 and evening at 7

Cranberry delight

I felt like I was walking in my own wonderland. Given permission to wander and enjoy, I took full advantage and drove down towards the fields of now harvested cranberries.

The light drizzle and clouds over head, did nothing to dampen the thrill of the experience.

There was a calm, the ducks, and birds were nesting and peaceful, the waters drifted lazily along, enjoying the pull of the breezes.

I had wanted to visit the Cranberry fields for a very long time. The other day, I slowed down, and took the winding country lane down to the farm. Upper Canada Cranberries, Ottawa’s only cranberry grower. Greely, Ontario. 613-798-6232, or the other number shown, 613-720-6232.

It is of course off season, the harvesting had been down, workers were gone, it was just me and whatever wild life called the farm home.

I was happy, my spirits were soaring with the high of being alive and able to be there at that moment in time. For me, it was a blessings, pure intoxicating love for all that IS.

The owner was busy when I was driving out, I hope he knows how content I was. He lives and works in this environment all year. WOW… He has a small store front, for days he is open. You can get fresh cranberries, and pure cranberry juice, no sugar. That my dears is a find. If you are in the area, please look the place up.

This was a very special blessing, I followed through on my desire to visit the farm, there was no distraction. My reward was the intense feelings of being ONE with the environment I was in.

I wish this for each and every one of you. Have a joy filled day… now and always.

Thursday doors, small and huge

A gateway to a new experience

When we were younger, the new experiences were self-generated and often kept us busy for hours, the doors were special, giving us access to … happily ever after.

Big, small, old, new, a door, doorway is a different to each and every one of us. But boy oh boy, they still hold a fascination, keep us wanting more.

PL Calendar day 18 Look Forward to What’s ahead

There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.

Good morning Monday

Bom Dia

*Deus Natureza (Maria Aldinria M.Martins)

Obrigado Oshioya-Sama Por me ensinar amar assim. Por ver Deus dentro de mim E em qualquer lugar.

Thank you Oshieoya-sama for teaching me to love, to see God within me and everywhere around.

*Excerpts from God and Nature, sung in church Sunday, (page)

I can harmonize with you with nature and humankind. I am happy living like this, a rich feeling hard to find. Harmonizo-me contigo, com os homens e a natureza. Viendo assim sou feliz E nao ha maior riqueza

With love and blessings, great the world with your smile and presence.

lego hero

harry potter2

Bom dia, good morning

Lego, Lego, it has been around for years. I never played with it in years gone by, and had no intentions of playing with Lego now. One should never say never. Lately I have been introduced to the many “wonders” of the Lego world of activities, I thought for the younger generation, however, I have since learned that Lego is played with by the young and old, and that collectors are hugely abundant.

In my travels I came across this set. #75951 Fantastic Beasts. I thought to give it a try. It was not in the cards. My fingers lacked the coordination and my aging gray matter rebelled unkindly to my intentions. A friends grandson, I was told was a super whiz at building Lego, and that my little 100 some blocks would be sneeze. His accomplishments are in sets that have thousands of pieces. I shudder at the thought, what patience he must have. I surrendered my little horse and carriage.

And look dear friends, I have it back and it is a beauty. I am thrilled. The young man is now my Lego hero my knight in shining armor. I will never think of Lego in the same way again. btw notice that the heroes are younger now.. or is it I am getting older.
