travel the path with me.. just one more turn .. let’s discover what is around the corner…

Be creative in your efforts

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on. (PL2014.16)

A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy

When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face. (PL2014.15)

I have stepped outside my comfort zone, I entered a spooky/Halloween virtual building event.

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.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone…

What is the difference between, No where and Now Here… space

Enjoy the moment while you wait.

Things come about when they are meant to happen.

Think of what you can do for the time being… and don’t rush the outcome.

Tell yourself “things Happen”

Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step. (PL2021.8)

chipmunk

Where are they, what do they know we don’t. When we got that really cold weather last week, the chipmunks didn’t come out. They waited for the day to warm up. There have been whispers that we might get a cold snap over the next few weeks. On the bright side, with the cold…. I have not seen the pesky biters (mosquitoes)

…. do you realize when you are retired, you don’t “have” to get up and be somewhere, unless you decide that is something YOU WANT to do….

ps. I’m thinking of finally putting into action, an adult colouring book. I have enough material accumulated.

Monday

Put your heart into everything you do

Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something, With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights. (PL 2014.7)

Sunday

Feeling tired, worn out, need a break. This rusted beauty above has been sitting on the side of the road for years. I was glad to see it was still there, but it is showing its age. The picture below is from my collection of vintage oldies ( found on Pinterest). These relics are from a different time. Life was slower … the car was an invention that allowed for greater distances to be travelled, in a shorter time. It was the beginning of an era where life would no longer be lived “closer to home”

There was a time, when someone who lived in another village/town/hamlet would be a total stranger, and usually would remain so … because life was lived within the community/parish you lived in. Now we can wake up in one country and go to bed in another … Friends/family can be miles away, Sometimes the physical distance means the only communication is “electronic”…

How many readers remember when the only way we could stay in touch was by “Mail”… when phones were few and far between… How many of you have had a “penpal”… someone who you wrote to .. in a far away place.. and then wait for them to respond… a conversation tooks weeks/months. Sigh.. a trip down memory lane.

Note. I still communicate with two of my “pals” one in New Zealand, the other in NY State..

New Encounters can help you change.

Be up for anything, even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being. (PL2020.30)

This is the old truck that sits next to the first car.

Cheers everyone.. May your day be blessed with sunshine and friends.
