Can you feel it., it is only mid September but I can feel the crispness in the air in the early morning, and the various shades of reds/oranges/rust etc. are appearing against the many variations of greens. Whopppeee!
Open up opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way. (PL2015.13)
Have a good day everyone
. I am having trouble with this format.. any suggestions out there for an easy to use format that remains consistent in the layout.
Yesterday it was raining do hard, the water was ankle deep in areas….. yet.. there was a quiet that drew me in.. even without my “gum” boots I saw myself walking through the water… my inadequate footwear didn’t deter me from sharing breakfast with the furry and feathered friends that came to share the moment with me.
It was the first time I saw rain drops glistening on the iridescent feathers of the Wild turkeys. There was no sun, it was very cloudy, yet they were magnificent . the drops were like little crystals… rolling off them. Even the bunny came to say hello…
The rain was pelting at times… not all the chippies came out, but the ones that did were rewarded with easy access to the buffet.
Be in harmony with those who are closest to you. Work to cultivate positive and strong relationships with your family and with the people you work with. Getting along with those who are closest to you is the key to happiness,
The parking lots of the other parks I drove past were all empty. No Park “rangers” no contractors, the constant downpour kept the human visitors away. I drank in the “solitude” my bright yellow rainwear.. and fisherman’s hat meant I could just stand and enjoy the soft tap tap taps of the rain drops as they danced over me. Standing in the rain is hypnotic.
Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it
It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative
Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….
Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.
and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…
Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.
Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)
Listen to others until the end. If you put your thoughts first, you will not be able to listen to others until the end. Firstly, listen to others to the end and understand them well. (PL2023.4)
Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not try to blame others.HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took:
The melody out of music,
The prideout of appearance,
The courtesyout of driving,
The romanceout of love,
The commitmentout of marriage,
The responsibilityout of parenthood,
The togethernessout of the family,
The learningout of education
The Golden Rulefrom rulers,
The nativityscene out of cities,
The civilityout of behavior,
Therefinementout of language,
The dedicationout of employment,
The prudenceout of spending,The ambitionout of achievement.
Received this in my morning mail. thought I’d share. why not! Anything resonate with you?
in passing. with the cooler weather I went in search of a piece of gingerbread…(from a gingerbread loaf, not cookies) None found!
