It is important to take time for relaxation, to just be able to sit back and share time with a friend that doesn’t involve going somewhere, doing something where there are tons of people and a lot of ‘busy” activities. No deadline, no need to be any place special, just time to chill and catch up ..
Be easy going and live your life cheerfully and flexibly.
Strong emotions can be the cause of various troubles. Always strive to have a cheerful and calm state of mind.

Men and women alike should respect one another.
Although they are different, men and women are equal as human beings. Always work to understand and respect each other.

Yes, the waxwing is filling the air with its melodious song – this is the time of year when the birds are bubbling over with the joy of spring.

The snow is melting, yesterday I took the shovel to the big dump of snow on my deck it had been almost shoulder high, … the milder temperatures had me facing a pile of snow only about knee deep. I did clear some, I was (smart) enough to stop when I got tired. If it is mild again today and there is a bit of rain, it should rid me of what is left on the deck. I can put out my lay back and sun chair. Early spring is the best… too cool for most to be out, but I love it, especially when the sun is out. Yesterday my companion was the male cardinal, he was singing away… he is a romantic, he courts his female.=^_^=
Live today filled with enthusiasm
Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Happy first day of Spring.

Choices, we all have to make them. Some come with answers that are easier than others. A simple, “how are you?”, “tudo bem?… requires a thought, do you just reply with “fine” or, do you reply with the thought that comes immediately to mind.??
Face challenging situations with positive determination.
When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

Make today a “give back day”
We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders, and the work of our predecessors. Above all kindness for others is the best way to give back.

Photo taken this morning.
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.
