Thursday doors 2.1.18

When you see a building off in the distance, you know you are going to get closer.  No matter the weather or the road conditions on that day,

A simple structure, not sure what it is for, I wondered if it is decoration or for children to play in while the parents enjoy a coffee break.

When I found the door I was excited.  Wow… it is all in the details.. rustic, charming, certainly a cheerful moment in an otherwise ho hum day .. (weather wise)  My husband and I enjoy this park, in the summer, it is not over crowded, and the breeze from the water is always refreshing.

We didn’t get there last fall, due to circumstances beyond our control, so this was a very pleasant surprise.  Put a door on something and all of a sudden, it becomes a much more interesting place.

PL calendar 1 – It is important to live in harmony with our surroundings.

This little house and door,  fit into the landscape just beautifully. =^_^=

Maintain harmony in your lives, daily, harmony is the basis of a peaceful society.

Happy Monday

west end Munster 4

I confess to being a back road junky.  I will take wrong turns or continue along a road, just because.  I love to see the different landscapes, colours, building and whatever else cannot be seen while we are driving on a main road. Admittedly, I sometimes find myself on a country road that I had no intention of being on..  Usually that is when I find something that cries out to me.. Stop… come back,  and I do.  I pull over, there is little to no traffic,  put on my emergency lights and get out.

west end Munster 1In the summer or in other seasons where foliage and filled in landscapes, catch the eye, the buildings can go unnoticed.  Not the other day,  I stood on the empty road, and just took in the quiet, the different shades of blue/gray in the skies, and the personality of the building that once was.

west end Munster 5

Somehow the snow and the wisps of dried vegetation that poked out here and there, gave the building a charm, I don’t know would be there when the trees were in full bloom.  Maybe in the fall with the autumn colours.  Come September/October, if I remember, and IF I can find it again.  I should check it out.

Time to find a main road, so that I can get back on track, do what needs doing and head home …

Today is a hospital day.  Please keep us in your prayers, send positive, healing energy, we will hear today, what the doctors have put together for us.

Know that we appreciate all the kinds words, your thoughtful caring “presence” in our lives is truly a blessing.

Blessings be….

turn on the light please or open the light please

the date has been moved ahead, or has it been pushed back

costco 1.26d

does that picture have meaning, or is the meaning the picture

close the light, or shut the light

costco 1.26cI realized that we were miles apart on that one thought

you really were adamant and for me.. simply, it didn’t matter

what mattered, was that you be happy, I let it go

instead, I said, I loved you….

and my heart sent loving thoughts your way,

you laughed, and that was that.

Friday greetings..

Miss Piggy tea pot VV

Miss Piggy waves hello.. a cheerful pot of tea, she is dropping in to wish you well,   We have a bright sunny day here, milder temperatures too.  I think I heard thunder rolling across the winter night sky in the early morning hours.  Warmer air, passing over and pushing down on the colder air below.

Works for me.  What ever you are doing, where ever you are going.. May the rays of positive energy bless your day today !!

Oyashikiri

You are loved, today and everyday!

 

and no, Miss Piggy did not follow me home.

shades of gray

IMG_0104

stark, cloudy, bleak, no, not bleak, just gray

what is there to say

the water looks dark, cold and uninviting

no need to test it with my toe

by the time I walk across the snow-covered grounds

my feet and toes will  no longer be cozy warm

I think I will pass, and not go near the water’s edge

that is something I can do on another day

meanwhile I will view from afar

the far away shoreline, before

I head back, following the path that I’ve taken

back to the truck.

Not really exciting, but refreshing, yes.

A winter’s day, shown in shades of gray

IMG_0103

I found some colour to brighten the gray

I will come back another day

We are heading into a storm

for winter, this is the norm

after all this is Canada eh!

mountain 1.15.

I knew I shouldn’t just stop along the highway, but when I saw the trees coated in white snow, I found a way to stop so I could take a few pictures.

mountain c 1.15

Too often, I squeal with delight at something I pass along the way.  I know moments can’t repeat themselves, but still I try.  I wanted to capture the white frosting on the sculpted branches.  I drove for miles and saw only open fields, with winter shades of blanched stalks, and soft golden grasses standing out from the fresh fallen snow.  Farm houses, and barns in the distance would have made great captures, but there was no place to stop.

We need to seize opportunities when they show themselves.  As I turned off the busy #43, towards Mountain, I saw the  stand of trees, with their blanket of snow, and the textured ground cover and I knew… it was time to pull over.  Such moments, are not necessarily the best photos, but they sure are rewarding moments that leave a person feeling good. Sometimes we need just LIVE the moment, and then move on.

If we hold back, wait and want only that perfect picture.  We miss the moment.  Technical composition, for me does not  >for me<  a memory make… Just saying…

That is why we are all so different, and why appreciation of another is so valuable in the enrichment of daily life.

VelcroStart your week with a positive vibe.   Let it carry through giving you a wonderful week.

breakfast

noodles,shrimp,egg and greens

Japanese noodles, Chinese greens, green pepper, hard-boiled egg, and big yummy pieces of shrimp.  The shrimp I put in first, so that it would warm with the hot chicken soup base, and pork flavour seasoning.  While this sits soaking up all the flavours, I read my morning lesson,

PL Calendar #13  There will always be a Way     

“As long as you are serious, there is no reason for you to give up.  Move forward one step at a time and things will always turn out for the best”

What better way to start the day, nourishment for the “tummy” and wisdom for the “soul”    

If you haven’t already gotten your calendar, there are still some available at the church here in Ottawa,  or any  of the other churches nearer to you.  They are available in Japanese, English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Friday Fog

Innes VV 1

As I drove through the fog today, there were stretches of road that simply disappeared from view.  I turned on my head lights and carefully followed a good distance from the car in front.

The radio was on, the announcer telling me about the flash freeze heading our way, and that once the temperature started to drop, listeners were to proceed with caution, being watchful for black ice.  I was almost at my destination, slowing down I pulled into the parking lot and made my way to the back of the building.  As quickly as the rain had started to  pour down in an angry stream of driving rain, it stopped. I was able to get out of the truck, and snap a few pictures before it started up again.

I got home before the temperature did its plunge to below zero, in single digits.  The fog inspired another page on http://www.dymoonadventures.com  It will be a challenge, splitting my “creative moments” but, I feel up to it.  I am hoping that it will encourage me to write more of the fiction that I used to so enjoy.

In PL, Perfect Liberty, PL Precept # 20   Live Maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.  Basically to me, reminds me to find and maintain balance in all I do.   Like today’s fog, that floated in and out of my awareness, ideas, words, thoughts are continually taking center stage in my conscious mind.

Obviously I am grateful, and appreciate that this is “me”  but there are times, when the “I” in me wants to express life in a different way.  Where philosophy, and creativity “play out” to get my attention.  My solution today, clean up my messy work table in my “studio” and reward myself with an early night.

PL Precept #7  Everything exists om relativity.

Have a super great week-end everyone.  Till soon.
