Life is a sublime experience
We come from No Where
We are Now Here
and we are heading to No Where
What is the difference between, No where and Now Here… space

Always do your best to be a better person.
If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time. (PL2014.12)
ohhh there is magic in the air, the mystical and the witching themes are everywhere…. ghosts and goblins sneak out of hiding and float happily past on their way to hide-a-way where they can enjoy a ghoulish brew. I tried all day yesterday and the night before to get into the Fifty Linden Friday Halloween venue… there are a ton of free gifts and spooky items to be had.. sale items are all 50 linden. I was determined, I tried again first thing on getting into the office today…. when there is a will, there is always a way!!
I can see some of you shaking your heads.. it is not even mid month yet… let me tell you, there are pumpkins and Halloween decor everywhere ….. I’m not alone in my love of the ” Halloween season” What other time can you take your pet dragon out for a walk. wink..
start witching…. have a booootiful day!

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.

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!
Open up opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way. (PL2015.13)

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)
