Yesterday I made it to downtown Salaberry de Valleyfield in southwestern Quebec. To get there I took the route along the water, through Saint Zotique and other little villages. I was blessed with another gorgeous day. These pictures were taken when I stepped out of my car on rue Victoria that runs along Dellpha Sauve Park. I parked and walked across to the Restaurant la Pataterie, where I ordered …. you guessed it.. a steamed hot dog and fries … to go of course.. there was a picnic table just steps away from where I parked where I could not only enjoy the view, but the clear skies and mid day breeze.

I’d go back for the fries and to try the hamburger or their smoked meat combo.. there was a lot to pick from.

Driving along the roads I let my mind empty of the mindless chatter and let the thoughts come and go as they were want to. The mind can be a real chatter box, some of it is relevant … and a lot is just gibberish. But .. it is important to let the mind unclutter itself. We can’t do that when we are busy running here and there .. or having conversations … My car is like my office on wheels. Sometimes I need to shut the door, turn on the engine and let the open road call me to where ever…

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

In life we are blessed with the opportunity to make choices, to decide what and how we want to live our lives. As I drove by the areas that allowed me an access to the water… I took a small side street that gave me a full view of a big industrial tanker making its way across the water. I parked for a bit so that I could enjoy the view as it slowly sailed past.. not another boat in sight, just the open sky in the background. It would have made a great picture, but that would have meant my finding a place to park the car and my getting out.. by the time I would have done that.. it would no longer be in the perfect spot for a good picture. That’s what life is all about isn’t it. Each moment is a lifetime.

PL Precept # 19 Begin once you perceive.

Have a grand day everyone!

It isn’t always easy, but when there is a will, there is a way!

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. ^(PL2014.26)

Booooo hoooooo it is no longer light when I get up. Fall is officially here. Not crazy about the darkness, but love that fall is here and all the wonders of nature that begin to emerge.

You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task.

When you face your tasks with a can do attitude, you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration. ^(PL2020.22)

Can you feel it., it is only mid September but I can feel the crispness in the air in the early morning, and the various shades of reds/oranges/rust etc. are appearing against the many variations of greens. Whopppeee!

It’s in the air… I even have the urge to do another autumn junk journal or wicked multi media piece. Doesn’t that hint of October that is tainting the air… send a delightful chill up your spine. I see the Halloween stores have already begun to set up. Gotta dust off my broom today….. find my hat, especially now I live with a cat!

Flexibly adapt to changes. The world around you changes, and so do you. Enjoy the transformations and deal with them flexibly. (PL2015.31)

Friday

Yesterday you saw some of the buildings that caught my eye on the way to Ompah. Here you are seeing some of land I hiked along. To get to the water, I had to go down a steep ravine to a level area .. where I was looking down at the water… it was so inviting that when I came to a wooden set of steps, I ventured down to the water’s edge.

Lesson I learned… If you go down, you have to come back up! Focused on getting pictures, I had not taken into account to get to where I was I had walked down a steep incline, I found the steps while I was walking the grounds searching for another path leading back up to the area where my friend waited in the car. !!

Look at the rocks, the beautiful old fence, weathered and worn but still standing Yes I likely overdid, I didn’t have my walking sticks with me and because the area hosted art shows in the summer weather, the land was cleared of fallen branches and the like. BUT it was gorgeous .. life was good, life was vibrant, the air clear, getting colder yes (we were heading for an evening of snow and dropping temperatures) I WAS HAPPY, JOYFUL AND FULL OF LOVE… fresh air, the silence of open country (no city sounds) Yes, my body had a lot to say about the walking/hiking and the constant in and out of the car… BUT it was worth it. I think we have all had such experiences. If we are going to be here (on earth) we should appreciate and enjoy as much as we can. Peace on earth, begins at home and in our hearts.

Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

memories

The mind gathers up and stores the many moments we live. Some are easily found .. and others elude us for years till something happens that recalls or brings back that moment in time .. Other moments are dropped into a memory pocket with others, and all we get later is a vague glimpse into… a moment lived/shared.

Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness.
