Silent Sunday
Express your feelings without hesitation. If you hold in all your feelings, you will feel heavy. Just say what is on your mind without hesitating

Today is a brand new day. If you think, “it’s just another day” your life will simply be stagnant and unchanging. You are in fact given this unique day, unlike any other, so live it to the fullest.

I like to think of myself as always being creative and able to adapt. Surprise, I uses and avatar to navigate and get around in a virtual world. Over the years, she has changed as the technology has changed, so I was really surprised when I was not forced to, but it was time for an update and I made changes by updating to a more “today” head. The technology of the world around me in the virtual world has been changing in leaps and bounds, and I was still years behind in the technology I was using to get around.
It was a shock to see the transformation, and to realize that the face looking back at me, was me, but she wasn’t. Kind of like looking in a mirror and realizing the face and body you see is not what you remember it to be. In talking to others who have undergone the same “changes” it seems that it is not a quick fix, but one I’ll be adjusting to over the next while.
Like life really, I think and feel like me, but when I see myself in a mirror or pass a shop window, I’m always taken by surprise that there is someone else with me.
For you who follow my adventure in the “woods” I walked one of the trails yesterday, So I covered over a mile over snow packed down by snowshoes/X-country skiis, and hikers. The snow is a hard crust but beware in many places it was soft under the ice, and you could drop a good foot or more before hitting a hard surface. I was glad I had my poles with me. For sure it would have been disaster in places had I not also been wearing cleats. Also. note if you venture out and .. if you are not familiar with the trails, stay on the main one if you can determine which one it is.. landmarks are very different or non existent with all the snow and fallen trees.
On the plus side, the woods the last week or so have been filled with the singing of birds. Lots of birds. Days are getting longer, and we have had ”mostly” a mild winter, If you love the happy chirping of birds… take a walk in the woods.. Pure awesomeness.
Friday
Always think that everything will work out. When you allow yourself to be pessimistic, your thought and actions become sluggish. Approach everything optimistically without hesitating.

Good Morning. sharing a picture taken the other day at the breakfast buffet. This is only a small number of the guests. They interact and share in almost an orderly fashion, it does get loud tho’… I think they invite all their “clan” for miles around.
Have a great week-end.

No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you

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

Would you, could you be happy living the simple life. We are all so used to getting unsolicited information sent to us. In this instance I’m referring to a site I used to post a lot on. Over the years it has changed and progressed in its fashion, my time and interests have gone in a different direction, I still enjoy seeing some of the pictures posted by others .. in the themes I had enjoyed BUT with photoshop etc, I have noticed that many posts I’ve seen lately have been “changed” a beautiful landscape . scenic and enjoyed for its beauty alone … has been “redone” ..ie. a shot of a mountain top surrounded by awesome landscape has now got an old derelict building on its peak.. with the caption, could you live here,, ? The house once a beauty is aged and falling apart, Nature has reclaimed part of it. it is set so that if you walk off the veranda or down the stairs you are in “space”. All I could think at the time .. was… the art, the design was thought provoking yes, but, the original art, the picture of nature in its awesome natural state .. was now marred.. and if I hadn’t known that location would I have believed the view as it was presented to me in 2024.
So much ran through my mind, on one hand I appreciated that the artist had done a good job fitting the building on the peak, but on the other hand, I felt like what was real, was being reshaped, and the viewer was being misdirected. Then I realized that with technology today and Ai (artificial intelligence) the simple fact, in all cases … is not reality but what someone (others) want us to “believe” or “see”
Back to the caravan… yes if it had a bathroom and electricity I would like to spend “some” time enjoying the simplicity of the moment for a “short” time. Even the dreamer in me, needs a sink, loo, and electricity. Life eh!
On the Banana tea*, I was asked, did it work? I think so.. the first time.. I didn’t really know, but I tried it again, using two bananas and they were riper. This I enjoyed more, it was however “sweet”.. with 2 bananas the flavour was stronger, and the texture fuller. I slept well, ( *a few posts back)
A bit of a chop suey post today, it is Friday! Have a great start to the week-end,. this is the quote of the day.
Use things for what they are meant for. Everything has a purpose. Let’s use things to their fullest potential.

The nuthatch came for breakfast yesterday, I heard his little greeting and sat with him while he made several trips to the suet balls on the tree next to me. He did sneak over to the seed and sunflowers for a peck or two in that “tray”

Mixed media .Q
how we perceive
When you look what do you see? When you listen what do you hear?
You can learn from anyone. There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience, Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinions,

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,,

original art – Q
14th. yes. already!
Seems like only yesterday we were welcoming in the year of the Rabbit, soon in another couple of weeks we will be celebrating the arrival of the lunar new year, this year it will be the Dragon who will watch over us. As I reflect on the year that was… I have a lot of happy memories, and a few not so happy, I remind myself that I know sadness because I have lived and known so much happiness,

Remember how you felt in the beginning Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh.

I reposted a blog this morning on FB another blogger, wrote a blog about her “reality” at this time and sense of loss.. https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/135943232/posts/5073914317
One of my joys, has been sharing with you all.. meeting and learning about life through the eyes of fellow bloggers. Wow. Life is rewarding, I am grateful that in my needing and wanting to share the visual moments in time, of my discoveries, I have gained a global friendship with others who delight in the written and visual art form of creative expression.
Happy Sunday …
