soon

As the season’s change, the summer sun begins to fade , the nights get cooler, and the mornings are slow to reappear. Darkness comes early and fades later… meanwhile, life in the human lane keeps trucking along adjusting to what ever challenges/opportunities come along. Some adventures we handle better than others. But handle them we must.

Sometimes, it is just hearing your friend’s voice at the other end of the line, or getting a responding text that will ease the “pain” “discomfort” of the moment.. honestly we are lost without our friends… I woke this morning with a shocking pain that ran up both legs. talk about being wide awake in seconds. Yes I have been up and around, doing and doing, winter is on its way, and things need doing. Unfortunately for me, the spirit may have been willing, but the body was “not amused” This morning it reported it’s unhappiness with some of my recent decisions it a very compelling way. I had no choice but to listen… it was a severe reprimand.

If you have ever experienced a muscle/tendon spasm, you know of what I speak. My body didn’t just give me one spasm in one leg, no, it gave me the full treatment to both legs, crippling me without mercy until I was able to find the spray that would freeze and shock the tissues into relenting and letting up. Good morning to me!!!! Guess who will be behaving all day today!

Express your appreciation with enthusiasm. Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development.

Ok. that means, that yes it was an unpleasant experience, but I appreciate that my body is telling me of my delinquent attention to it’s needs. I will show my appreciation by listening to my body, and my friends who have all been telling me, “you are doing too much, too soon!!!!” Practice patience… repeat after me, practice patience… practice patience……

To my wonderful friends who have been listening to me, helping me and scolding when I need reminding, thank YOU….

changes

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.
Confucius

What – its cold

Can you see cold? certainly I could feel it. When I went out it had begun to hail, hard white crystals of snow/ice were falling.

My Nikon was not impressed.. Needless to say the trip to the woodlands was postponed.

Enjoy the moment while you wait. things come about when they are meant to happen, think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome.

Wednesday – what?

So… I’m lying in bed, eyes open – am I awake? .. Cuz… I’m looking your way, do I see you? – your mouth is moving and there is sound, are you talking to me? Oh hello… we are on the same road, are we going the same way? Is our reason for being there the same?

and here is another one… because you see a smile, am I happy?

Make today a different day. Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.

Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased, it comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.

Normal?

What is “normal” is different for each individual. Everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. it is important to understand others’ feelings.

house on the hill

So lonely and sad, the old house now sits so silently on the hill – No more does it hear the sounds of children playing – or the clanking of pots and pans as dinner is being made It’s former charm has now long since gone.

Imagine how it had once been, the proud haven for how many generations of families? Can you see the farmer tending the land, animals grazing near and around the homestead…. I think I see that a swing once sat in the front yard, where come evening, the family could gather and watch as the evening skies filled with stars. A gallery of twinkling particles of light against a clear night time sky

My friend and photographer Shirley Keen took these photos while on one of her jaunts. I was going to use it for “Thursday Doors” but there was a poignant feeling about the house, that inspired me to give it its own place on a page. Old homesteads like this are found not only in NZ but here in Canada, and I’m sure in the USA. I noticed in the pictures there was no road leading in to the house, nor any sign of hydro (electricity) being fed to the house. It has to have been vacant for years. There is a road not far off, but no driveway to this building.

Update. the Hoult farm house has been in the same family for 6 generations. It seems there will soon be a new house built close to where this one now stands by one of the descendent of this family.

Could this have been a reservoir for catching rain water?

Seeing the pictures Shirley took of this old farmstead brought back memories of days when the entire area around where I grew up was farmland such as seen in these photos, and now … all one can see are city lights and urban sprawl.

Let’s interact proactively with an ever changing society. society is always rapidly hanging with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these change and learn to deal with them proactively.

Mindless Monday

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.

light and shadows

Being sidelined these past weeks has meant that I have had plenty of time to visit and revisit some of my creative endeavors that I’ve played around with over the last couple of months. In particular it has given me time to work on the Christmas greetings that I have to have ready to send over seas. The new year is fast approaching, and if mail (snail) is to get overseas in time for the holidays, I need to meet the postal deadlines set by our postal system to ensure that mail will arrive on time. Last year there was a huge rush and a lot of delays depending on the country you were mailing to. Check with your local postal authorities for the deadlines this year.

We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important, your effort is what is truly precious.

Sometimes an overcast day provides the best natural lighting to evoke a mood or an ambiance that is soothing and calm…..

In the quiet of the moment – now becomes forever

dog wisdom

The Universe is always looking out for you.. It may not be what you expect or want, but in the long and the short of it, eventually, you will recognize, or see that what IS, is meant to BE.

I received an e-mail earlier today with a lot of dog wisdom pictures/quotes. They came at a time when I needed to see and hear what was presented in the files he sent, I’m sharing a few with you now.

Monday blues/jazz

Good morning everyone.. last night ensuring I stayed off my leg so that I can safely go out this morning for an appointment, I treated myself to an evening of “tunes”.. like in the “old days” when I loved just kicking back and listening to music. Now with the internet and YouTube we can browse to our hearts content and find the musicians and music we want in as many flavours as we want. Here are two videos you can listen to if you are in the mood for some good sax…. =^_^=

Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient once you accept it, you’ll be able to move onto the next step

May the joy of living fill your hearts with the simplicity of love and sharing… when we live with sincerity in our hearts.. and a genuine caring for those we share our lives with. Life is Good.
