Wednesday

This was what I was greeted with yesterday.. and yes it is still there today! If lucky the temperatures will warm up, it is sunny, just maybe, it will disappear. But this is Ottawa, and it is Canada, so…. Mother Nature will eventually turn the page and we will head merrily along into the bright days of spring.

View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress.

You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.

On another note… a big thank you to everyone who attended the Sunday performance of the MMAC 18th anniversary. The Trow Boa Experience, featuring all originals written and performed by Trow (saxophonist) was a “sell out” performance.

Yup. took one look out the window saw the snow covered branches, the whole backyard is a white blur. Seems we are in the middle of a weather hiccup. Overnight it was a total down pouring of what was left of the snow clouds… It seems we are to have a cloudy overcast day, while the weather artist mixes up a batch of ice pellets, rain, and then as the temperatures drop again, some kind of snow/ice offering, so Mother Nature can empty a couple more of her miscellaneous storm buckets over the area.

Not likely that I will see the short clad joggers out today, or the sweatpants and hoodie)s) out running errands. Was thinking I’d do something really different today, .. stay home and not visit the woods.. BUT

Let’s see… AHHH. PL 2012.20

To do… or Not to do… There is only one way

Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once we have made up our minds, move forward without hesitation.

como vai?

Skies are blue, clouds are big and puffy. spring is in the air.. the season is changing… pollen is mixed with mould, it looks clean and fresh… BUT be aware, with the thawing of all that snow we had over the winter, the birds may be happily nesting … singing up a storm… but for the human with allergies… stock up on tissues. It will be a challenging few weeks till the ground warms up …

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 be well balanced.

hello

Spring is in the air, the red wing blackbird was amongst the breakfast crowd yesterday morning, as well as the very vocal pileated woodpecker.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.

Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.

They say seeing an owl is a good omen*. I saw the gray the other day as large as life, he was looking down at a photographer who was busy taking photos of him. I was a tad too far to get a good enough picture, but had this one Louis sent me the other day. What must this great bird think of the humans who stand out in the field everyday, pointing their arms up towards him with the big round glass objects. I wonder if he considers them at all.. are they a curiosity. Will never know will I.

I have seen the Barred Owl up close and personal, would be interesting to see the two in close proximity. The weather has turned mild, but then .. this is March and this is Ottawa, we could be basking in spring like weather, only to be visited by a wild, angry winter storm stamping and growling its way out of the region. Best get on my way… Have a good day everyone.

Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking

There are different points of view and ways of thinking, which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.

… for those interested in the dryer saga.. there is now a new compact dryer installed and operational.. almost had to deal with another refusal on the removal of the old one, but thanks to caring delivery personnel, the old one was taken away,

  • I’ve seen how many, 4, 5, owls in the last month.

Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body, or work your mind to the fullest extent.

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes.

Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that’s the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.
