lundi

Good Morning everyone. The other day, (yesterday) I gave in to the loud messages I was getting from my body. I felt like the relic you see above. I needed to board up my windows, (close the blinds/curtains) lock the doors and go to bed… my pumps, were not working. I had to face the facts… I was in no shape to navigate the world. In fact, over the last few days I sensed I wasn’t functioning on all cylinders, but you know how it is…Sometimes, even when the body sends hints, we don’t hear them, or if we do.. we ignore them .. because we are “busy”. MY inner voice, had enough of my nonsense… it contacted nerve central and opened the drawer with the neuropathy file in it.. Pain, searing instant jabbing pain got my immediate attention. Took less than 48 hours to have me take to my bed.. and stay there.

Suffice to say, I feel more “human” today, but I will pace myself. (should I bold that statement..?) We did get the snow, rain, ice etc. fortunately it didn’t hit us as hard as predicted. (in my area)… This is the start of a new week. Let’s move forward with a positive attitude. (state of mind)

/Be True to yourself/

No matter how you try to make yourself appear differently you can’t alter your self worth. Just be yourself, and freely express yourself without hesitation.

I was well taken care of by Quincy and Quinn.. both were great ..Quincy slept with me, while Quinn took a nap and didn’t tear the house apart. (she is still a little terror, drags drops, yowls at invisible attackers… tell me again, how old does she have to get before she settles down?)

Soon

como vai?

Skies are blue, clouds are big and puffy. spring is in the air.. the season is changing… pollen is mixed with mould, it looks clean and fresh… BUT be aware, with the thawing of all that snow we had over the winter, the birds may be happily nesting … singing up a storm… but for the human with allergies… stock up on tissues. It will be a challenging few weeks till the ground warms up …

Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

a memory

of a gentler time. Yes there were none (or few) of the electronics we have today. Life often involved a lot of time outdoors, hard work, and a dedication to planting, and eating food that was locally grown. I have been eating local meat organically grown, grass fed etc. what a difference in taste and texture !!!

Put your effort into the “now” You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but now.

a new day

If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the World. Be one of those who makes more smiles. Smiles are the World’s treasures. PL2023.26

Have a grand day everyone. Nancy Sinatra used to say, “these boots are made for walking”. .”away we go” (Jackie Gleason)

Till soon.

Always have presence of mind.

If you overexert yourself you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

PL2023.25.

Have a good day everyone!

attitude

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.

Bohemian Waxwing

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.

PL2015.23

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.

Thursday

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.

PL2015.20

Happy first day of Spring.
