Thursday

Good day everyone,… my tuning forks arrived.. missing from the picture is the rubber disc used to tap the forks on. (you can find info on Tuning Fork healing via. internet /or AI) I didn’t have time when they arrived to have a proper look, so it was bedtime before I took them out and had a look at what arrived. I sat back and played them all. Enjoying the white vibrations from the various forks,.. It was pleasant .. I look forward to really working with them… I mention this because… I slept this morning till mid morning.. I usually wake around 4, 5 a.m. Today it was almost 10:30 a.m. when I woke up !!! NO outing to the woodlands, or to feed the crows… I am usually on the road between 7 and 8 .. no later.

You can become more attentive with prayer

Live your life with a prayerful mind so that you can be more attentive and make the people around you that much happier.

Wednesday

So many time I see kindness, passers by moving aside when they see you are carrying a heavy bag of groceries, wait patiently while an elderly person is crossing a busy lane in a parking lot, or a mother with children is wanting to move the children along when they are blocking an aisle by being “children”. What I don’t see, is a nod of thanks.. or even a smile that the kindness happens/happened.

We are all living in a world that has become indifferent to the hurry up attitude, or demanding schedules that keep us constantly on the move. I know… life gets busy, life happens, and we all have deadlines or places we have to be. Many of us function at times on auto-pilot, it happens. May I take this opportunity to ask you… myself included in this reminder… say thank you more often, and smile, nod, recognize that we are not alone trying to maneuver in this hectic day to day of modern living. A smile can change someone’s day…. even if is for a moment.

Your enthusiasm, will pave the way

Your enthusiasm will fuel your efforts and creativity, and will spread to those around you, driving new developments.

PL2019.7

Smiles and laughter can be a balm on an “off” day.

Have a good day dear friend…. till soon.

info on picture below

Work well with everyone regardless of their age or position

The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solutions, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders.

Good Morning everyone…

The picture above, was taken by local nature photographer Dan Cadieux, https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography I have known Dan now for many years, we run into each other in/on the nature trails in the area. He knows of my love and friendship with crows. He shared this picture with me, that he took a few years back. It was taken on a day when the temperatures were just above zero degrees, it was a fall morning, the wasps were semi-dormant…. his patience and quiet determination got him this great photo… Isn’t it fabulous. If you love nature, and like pictures that show case the nature around us, please give Dan’s photo gallery a look. He has a unique way of presenting his finds….. I’ve seen him lying in the mud on the side of the road * camera focused on a puddle where robins are bathing for hours if need be to get just the picture he wants… thanks Dan for sharing your amazing talent with us….

road was in a forested conservation area .. off the beaten track… far from traffic.
like myself, we frequent the wilderness areas of conservation lands searching out the wonders of Nature.

help please

I am revamping one of my characters for a short story I’m doing.. When doing her face. I used a skin from a designer I don’t often use… I was getting ready to make changes when it struck me that the face looked very familiar to me. I know I’ve seen it many times but I can’t place the series she was on. So I left her face the way it was… and I’m building her character around the persona I’m getting from her. If by chance her appearance rings a bell .. could you let me know.. please. and thank you.

Now for today’s quote.

It is not fun to be stuck in one place

Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons

PL2022.28

Cheers everyone, have a great Sunday.

the character was middle aged , she was not the lead, but had a supporting role and was seen regularly. She was angular and thin just like the avatar you see above

Trees

When the “boyz” decorate, they don’t fool around, these are just a few of the trees that decorate their home during the holidays.

I usually go out to take pictures after they are set up…. this will all be enjoyed with their annual New Year’s “come visit” party…I have watched as every year, a new year or new theme gets added.. Even the exterior of the home is festive bringing a smile to all who drive by …Believe on cold dreary days travelling through the snowy challenges.. Canadian winters can offer up… seeing this festive display shining out at you never fails to bring smiles and cheer a traveller on their way. (promise more pictures soon)

This year I have been visited by a persistent flu germ…. what a nuisance, It is visiting the least patient of humans… its been an unwelcome guest for weeks. leaving me tired and uninterested in simply everything. How are you doing? We are days away from the jolly holiday …you ready?

If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

PL2014.23

For those who have asked me how the cats are settling in… they have discovered YouTube/ bird videos, I now have two cats who can sit for hours watching woodpeckers, grosbeaks squirrels cardinals and and and. They are fascinated.

and,… yes.. there is a performance tonight, 4 pm slt. @ Nat’s (SL)

Snow covers the ground a beautiful blanket of white. Holiday music is heard every where we go. You ready for the season of holiday cheer and festive gatherings? Not to be a wet blanket, but it isn’t a holiday for everyone, please be aware of the hardships others may be facing.

Sincere condolences and prayers go out to the families that are facing the loss of a family member… or having to spend time in the health care facilities who are open 24/7. The support workers who work holiday and shifts, who can’t just stop what they are doing to celebrate. Hats off to the work crews who no matter what the day, night … if the weather decides to play havoc with travel, they are out working to keep our roads safe. Its not a party for everyone…

Work happily with good rhythm

If you take on your tasks willingly, you will enjoy the task and you may even be rewarded with a more positive outcome.

Wednesday

You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.

And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.

Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.

PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.

PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,

This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.

Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….

note. The church in Ottawa is open to anyone who would like to visit ..

Thursday

Pretty sight to come home to. Freezer door had somehow opened, when bottom door of refrigerator in morning was closed. AND it wasn’t noticed till I came home to find… yes.. a mess.

When you have lemons, you make lemonade – I cleaned and cooked what i could save and packaged the rest to be thrown out. What a mess. No I don’t drink lemonade… but, I have lots of cooked chicken, oysters, , shrimp, lobster, clams, etc. ready to eat, sigh,,, I am thankful that I was able to simply tackle the mess and deal with it., took several hours, but it got done.

The Universe must have been watching… I was nudged to go looking for containers to restock the freezer in a more orderly fashion… and I had come home with containers .. with the intent of take everything out of the freezer and restock it using the containers. Well imagine my horror and surprise when I came home and found the pool of water, ice (green) on the floor. a bag of spinach has leaked it was everywhere.

So dear readers, I’m sorry if I didn’t get to reply individually to your kind likes and comments.. I was busy being domestic, and as you all know.. that is NOT my “strong suit” The crows will get a feast this morning, they’ll be happy,

Today’s quote..

Energy Springs from your Smile

A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

PL2021..4

Yes, I’m smiling, that was yesterday, this is today!!!! … food in freezer is now once again frozen solid, its tidied up, and I won’t have to cook for a couple of days… yipeee! thank goodness this is Canada, and December. Always look for the positive!!!
