Gratitude

I am seeing more of these red wing blackbirds this year than I have in previous years. These and the Crackles are now regulars along with the Blue Jays.. altho at P23, the woodpeckers are holding their own.

Begin your day with appreciation. Welcome each new day with renewed appreciation, and step forward with a feeling of World Peace in your heart.

With the extreme heat we’ve been having, please take precautions if you are going to be outdoors for any length of time. There will be two services at the church today, one at 10 a.m and the other at 7 pm. for those wanting to participate in the Day of Appreciation service ( PL Thanksgiving)

-round about. – life is –

Round about midnight inspired many a young musician. Still does today, (music by Thelonious Monk) – link to Monk’s Dream/biography https://youtu.be/icFRHJ9VZaw?si=i-h_2VKdbQyuhzN9

Round abouts are either loved or cause a lot of angst… I’m always surprised when driving with someone else it never fails .. there is a comment if we come to one. (seldom of a positive nature) I myself find them very helpful. Such is life. On the radio yesterday the talk show host was raving on about something, I pushed the button and found myself listening to a country song about, thanking God for unanswered prayers.

Life is full of messages, intuitions and insights, do we listen? maybe yes maybe no.. however, our “mind” hears what we don’t.. and will often replay what you didn’t hear or want to hear.., when you are more receptive. Like 2 a.m. when you are minding your own business… like trying to sleep.

This morning. I think it is pouring rain outside. I will soon find out, Have a good day everyone, I’m heading for the round about… think of the choices I’ll have!!!!

Remember that learning is a lifelong process – No matter you age, there s something to be learned and there is always room for improvement. Always remember that there is wisdom to be gained from any situation. (PL2011.25)

When sadness visits.

Se a tristeza e a faita de esperanca, Forem bater em seu coacao.. try to do something positive for others.. (If sadness and lack of hope knock in your heart)

Words. words. I hear them. and I feel the love and support …. but there are moments when, I am inside in the darkness… looking out, It will pass.

Monday

Always live with a kind and generous heart. Show love and embrace others’ good points, and be willing to overlook their faults. One who has a generous heart can live a fulfilled life. (PL2017.17)

My sincere thanks to everyone who reached out to me, I have tried to answer as many of you as possible directly, but I confess to finding life a little “stressful” these days. I am in a bit of a “void”.. the silence around me, is a reminder that Keeper is not here to check in on me, or waiting for me to see she wants out etc. Time heals I know that. and… I know she is in a much better place, she can run pain free, and be the beautiful spirit she is without human interference.

Otherwise, life is good, I have caring, wonderful friends… I am blessed.. just be patient with me for a while longer. please. the pain is excruciating at times.. it will pass..

Enjoy the changes in your life. Things around you are constantly changing with the times. Take on the challenging and new experiences as materials for self expression. (PL2011.16)

Decisions

Things start happening the moment you decide. From the moment you decide “I’m going to do something” things begin to happen. Ride your initial wave of enthusiasm to get things done efficiently, (2011.15)

Physical pain is something that everyone endures differently. Acceptance of discomfort as we age, and the various symptoms that become annoying and sometimes, ever present… can be challenging.

” And now you ask in your heart, “how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?” Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is in the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower, a bee is a messenger of love. And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.” (The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran)

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you when you are happy or when you are troubled. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others, (PL2023.15)

Happiness

When one’s spiritual needs are met by an untroubled inner life. Happiness comes when your work and words are benefit to yourself and others.

Don’t be captured by the past; live in the now. All things, whether they were positive or negative, are things that have happened in your past. You have the whole world ahead of you to focus on, (2011.28)

We all live through rough moments when we wonder– what? why? how did this happen? Why me? These ahHA moments can be startling, revealing, and even painful. But. the truth and reality of it .. is that moment will pass.. in French there is an expression, “want to or not, this is what it is”… When you have these light bulb moments, thank “Universe/God” you’ve reached the turning point. Say thank you… and move on.

Feelings of appreciation become real when we express them.

Find the door .. open it, walk out or walk in, the world is yours to discover.

hello!

Hello… remember me.. I am here even tho’ I’ve been boarded up … I can still see you as you pass me by… no longer interested in how I’m doing … I miss the sunny smiles, and the cheerful greetings of passersby … It isn’t my fault that fate happened, and I was made redundant.. .. I do smile as you walk by and hope you will feel the cheerful greeting I send you..

Everyone is in such a rush today, always in a hurry, or looking at some object in their hand… I once had flower beds under me, I could watch as each planting grew each year from budding babies to beautiful petals in such an array of delightful colours. Visitors would stop to admire the flowers and always there would be a smile my way .. Alas that was another day,

As we age, we do see and live through changes, Some changes are life changing, and there is no going back. The reality is.. there IS NO GOING BACK… we can revisit the place, but not the time.

Don’t be swayed by the past: It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look toward the future and start with a fresh outlook. (PL2015.9)
