It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.

If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible. (PL2017.11)
seasons are changing the only constant in life is change.

*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO
Spread your love beyond your borders, out to the entire world
Our world is overflowing with problems. Let’s pray not only for those around us, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world (PL2014.1)

This is the happy picture that greeted me this morning. My sister out on her evening walk, came across this delightful scene. I just love October, it seems to bring out the light hearted fun in sharing. Neighbours decorate their homes.. streets come alive with creative decorations.. love the smiles!
Let’s find the joy in everything.
Are you looking for things to complain abut? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful joyful life. (PL2020.25)
If you aren’t doing it light heartedly and efficiently, it is the equivalent of being lazy. Switch your mind quickly to tackle the task at hand.(PL2017.23)
Hear the roar as the water rushes by…. in life…. time slips away … we don’t even notice…. but… one minute you are starting the day… and before you know it… the day has come to an end.
The colours right now are magnificent. I took part of yesterday to drive along country roads that were bordered by the trees that are alive with their fall wardrobe. Living in a part of the world where we are blessed with 4 distinct seasons, is pure JOY.
Let’s put our whole heart into everything we do, even if it’s something as simple as pushing a button.
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..
