Morphologically, trillium plants produce no true leaves or stems above ground. The “stem” is just an extension of the horizontal rhizome and produces tiny, scale like leaves (cataphylls). The above-ground plant is technically a flowering scape, and the leaf-like structures are bracts subtending the flower.(def. internet)

Take care of things as they come to your attention

When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.

Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble

You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boatful mind. Always remember to be humble.

your true self is revealed in the smallest of actions

Your personality shows in even the smallest actions you take. Regardless of whether it is a minute task or a monumental job, put your whole heart into it.

Hello this is a picture taken in NZ the other day, it is going into fall there.

I’m waking up here to a spring day… here in Eastern Canada.

Same week .. same world, but in very different parts of the planet.

Shirl went for her walk at home in NZ and I had my stroll here in Canada.

Isn’t life grand… Think about it, Eliza is starting to share her photos of her spring flowers ..(excellent moments of shared beauty) she is in the States…

We are so lucky/blessed that the technology we have today, allows us to experience “visual” gifts that before .. we would have had to wait days, weeks, even a month, for our friend to take a picture, have it developed, then get it ready to post… Once posted that letter would take days, weeks to travel to your mailbox.

There is much we have to be thankful, let’s remember to give thanks…

Appreciate your friendships… they are part of your personal treasure chest.

We are all here today… we may not be tomorrow.. This is life..

Wednesday

Never judge a book by its cover… or think you can “know” someone or something, by just glancing… three friends on a walk, see the same tree stump, not one .. will see and take in the same stump in the same way.

The only thing that is constant in life… is change.

sanctuary

When I need to regroup, find my balance, my calm… this is where I go.. the quiet, the bliss.. ahhhhh

Geese flying overhead, their honking a reminder that spring has arrived. the tapping of one of the resident woodpecker drumming out his determined search for food. All wrapped around me surrounding me in the comforting embrace of nature’s embrace. I’d come home!

I felt strong enough to venture down the trail, it was a beautiful day, still early enough that I had the whole acreage to myself.

For many weeks I have been sidelined by a “health issues” that kept me away, it was so therapeutic to once more be under clear blue skies, my feet walking along the well worn path. Nature is healing. It is gift that we so often overlook and take for granted.

Have a good start to the week everyone!

Good morning dear friends … of late you may have noticed that there is a huge posting of new sounds/music that are Ai generated. This one I have added here is one that if you listen to it will show you how it is very different from songs we have been bombarded with over the last few decades.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FTBejXsiS5I

The words are meaningful and speak of love and sentiment that many of us feel and live day to day, but never speak out loud.

Songs like this are being viewed and liked by not a few hundred but thousands of listeners.

There has to be a reason, yes? that these songs are being embraced by so many viewers/listeners …

Please … take time to listen to your friends/family/coworkers… and very important, listen to yourself.. take care of YOU.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Have a good day … you are special appreciated and loved.

Wednesday

Happiness is found when we make time for discovering the world around us… away from busy hectic noises and frantic energy from negative activities and action.

When was the last time you took time to “stop and smell the roses”?
