Bom dia!

Nope, didn’t work, saying good morning in Brazilian Portuguese didn’t work, the snow is still happening outside my window,, NOTE. if you are out today the ice storm yesterday took down some of the weaker trees. P22 Mer Bleu has a tree preventing your exit from the parking area. I did report it yesterday morning, but the maintenance crew might not have gotten to it yet. BE CAREFUL unless you know that area of road if you back up to turn around, there is a steep incline on the right (Passenger’s side). You need to avoid the area and go back via the one way around the circle,. AND that is tricky if another car is coming in. Please take care.

Trees snap and break when we have heavy wet snow and ice pellets followed by more freezing rain, that is just what a Canadian winter can be like. We were lucky, power lines were not affected.

How are you doing Sunshine and balmy winds where you are? Life is good. Mother Nature has many forms of expression. Today is another day. Let go of yesterday and start fresh

It is interesting because it is difficult. In order to overcome difficulties in your life, you need to think hard and be creative. That is why life is always interesting.

It was a sugar coated world yesterday . Mild, very pleasant. There is a simple joy in standing quietly while the fluffy snow flakes dance merrily through the air. Of course if I stood too long, there were complaints from the peanut gallery that the morning breakfast was being delayed. Interestingly when they see the chair and I sit.. they stop chastising me and go about cleaning up their “plates”… they seem to know, when the human sits and closes her eyes, I’m having a ” time out”.

Enjoy the day everyone, don’t know about where you are, but here, the airwaves are full of the holiday cheer “songs” and “stuff”

Choices

Thanksgiving offering at a friend’s place. I’m glad I wasn’t there, it would have been a difficult choice on what to put on my plate. Montana is a tad far to get to for a meal, but what a spread she put out for her friends! Wow! Wonder if she made everyone eat with chopsticks! Hope if you were celebrating Thanksgiving, you had a wonderful day/evening. Now its time to carry the bounty of kindness and good cheer forward.

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make the effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way.

ouch

Sometimes in life, we have to deal with challenges we were not expecting. How do you cope.. “let me count the ways”… It certainly took me by surprise one day to find that ouch.. that hurt, and .. contrary to what I thought. .. after a rest it did not go away. It did calm down, but it did stay around, and by the looks of it, it has no intentions of just packing up and going away. Others suffered with this painful “nasty” not me.. Hah! Nature does not play favourites

I do suspect I know some of the “sitiuations” that could have caused this latest flare up, the cold damp weather that has landed in the area, due to the coming season change. Not wearing proper footwear that my “current” time of life requires. i.e. heavy insulated outdoor gear .. is now too heavy for my unhappy hip joint to carry around when I’m out and about. Means.. I have to (had to) consider getting myself a pair of boots that will do the same job but are more lightweight and easier for me to maintain my “active” lifestyle.

We tend to want to continue doing things the way we did,,, and we don’t take into consideration that “change” affects us all…not just “others”. Have the new boots helped, yes.. but it will take time now for me to allow the joint to recover. This means.. R E S T I N G the joint when it says “stop” I need to heed the warning. Gosh.. rules, rules, rules..

This is thanksgiving week in the USA so for us here in Canada, we get to enjoy focusing on appreciation and practicing mindful awareness of all the good in our lives. Again.. note to self, this should be done regularly all the time.. without coaching or civic reminders.

Today’s calendar

Move forward with confidence. Experiences you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.

This wonderful collage of Cardinals, was presented to us by photographer Michel Lanthier, to see more of his captures, you can visit his FB page https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79 an avid nature photographer, he brings the beautiful birds you see,( or don’t see,) that share our environment. I am blessed that I have a family of Cardinals that have adopted my feeders in the front yard, so I was delighted when I saw his post. I am never standing there with my camera .. and even if I was, I would be trying to take the picture through my Livingroom window. thank you Michel.

hideaway

You need a place to unwind, to get away, change of pace, you have a choice, where would you go ,, ie, my car yesterday decided that it was in danger, it put itself in anti-theft mode. Go figure. I’m in the middle of the woods, no one around.. it was perfectly safe. I was back and forth to it every few minutes filling up bird feeders. I was using the doors, (side) to get at peanuts, sunflower seeds, the boot was open, that is where the bird seed and corn is, and the suet balls/ cakes, 3/4 of an hour later, I close the doors get in to drive away and “she” goes ballistic. Little alarms go off, the dashboard lights up, anti theft mode, the symbol of two locks appears.. the battery did “NOTHING” but make time bomb sounds, tick tick tick. I try again, dinNata, zip… nothing, I could only stare in disbelief,

Suffice to say, I had a “busy” day. It is cold in the early morning, I had gotten to the conservation parking area around 7:30 a.m. The tow truck arrived at 11:44 a.m. I will spare you the gory details of my adventure, but when finally I got to “review” my day,,.. I thought of where I would like to be for a bit of a HOLIDAY, getaway,, The top picture is of a place that was discovered during my last trip to the Ompah part of Ontario. A roaring fireplace, someone to tend it of course (not moi) … a small supply of easy to heat and serve dumplings, maybe dry garlic scallops, a nice tossed salad in the fridge, lots of ice.. (for my coffee of course)… mellow music .. or maybe just the sound of the crackling fire… Yeah… Nice. What about you.. ? Do you have a hide-away?
