Mindfulness. appreciation. this is the time of year when we see majestic colours everywhere, I am filled with an awe that such beauty exists, especially if I am driving with the sun in just the right position, and my way is filled with a dazzling vista of beauty so fleeting that I know, if I come back along the same highway, or road, the moment will have passed. I feel gratitude in my heart that I was able to experience such beauty.
Every year I would get such a chuckle out of how Chris and his wife would do their décor up for the fall, I went looking this year and couldn’t find what was done. Chris generously send me the picture for this year. So, dear readers, here it is…. the critters that visit their yard from the woods behind their home, must find it entertaining… they must wonder at the antics of “humans”.. we are after all such a special species.
Spent part of today, sweeping up leaves, and bringing some of my wood finds under cover ( into the garage).. there I hope they will dry out over winter.. they will no longer be exposed to the weather, it can get extreme here when we are into the full throes of a Canadian winter. Since the forecast is for rain off and on over the week-end I also drained the water barrel of the accumulation from the last couple of weeks. Called fall chores … bet you have your own to deal with… =^_^=
Please.. no applause, these tasks got done because.. I was in the mood today to be outside and I felt like it.. the “lazy” me could return at anytime..!!!

PS.. note.. raking/yard work can be satisfying when doing it.. the aftermath if you have arthritis in the hands/wrist/fingers etc. can be devastating
Look beyond the trees over the fallen or felled… walk slowly, move forward
You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. We are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.

Precept # 1 in PL, is Life is Art. We are the artists and each day is a new canvas. don’t get stuck in the past .. and don’t live running only on a “hamster wheel”… Only YOU can take control of your life .. of that one moment. Make a wise choice today. YOU count!
Good morning, when you see double numbers such as 10:10, the universe is practically shouting to get your attention… Love in abundance!!! With the fall colours right now you can feel the world is vibrant. if you have a guardian angel right now.. he/she is helping you with encouragement and confidence you need to explore territories and areas unknown to you. We are encouraged to move forward, luck and prosperity is in the air. =^_^= Bom dia!!!
It is easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

When we saw 10 10 we used to say, we would be receiving unconditional love from the Universe. It was a very positive sign. I wish you all a wonderful week.
The number 8 – symbolism and spiritual.. the symbol of infinite perfection. In numerology 8 is associated with power and strength. The power and strength associated with # 8 is said to be feminine energy, it gives you the strength to archive life’s goals.
Start by thinking “let’s do it!” Once you decide to do something and put your whole heart into it, things will start moving forward.

When the road ahead looks long and uncertain, taking the first step will always be an opportunity to new discoveries, even though you have walked that path before, each day is a new experience, and a new beginning.
Susan kicks into a new day! a # 8 day!
Tomorrow Sunday 9th. service at 10: a.m. and on 11th.(Tuesday) Ancestors’ day service will be 10:a.m.
The blue jay was not going to be intimidated.. you can see his blue behind the wild turkeys who once they discovered that there was “food’ on the ground, were not keen on moving off or away. They ran off at first, but one plucky one turned back to see just what was being offered. Once he discovered this was a mega of food, he applied himself to the task of eating all he could before the others realized why he was not following them.
It was very interesting to see how when the others saw he was not coming, he was busy eating .. there was no hesitation on most of their parts… to join him. Some did go off, not all were prepared to back track. Mind you they stayed in sight… just deemed not to return to the feeding area. I took myself off to walk the boardwalk, it was cool, but bright… I hoped to get a few fall colours in.

The best timing is when you notice. When you notice something it is God sending you a message. Act right away so you don’t miss good timing.

ps. wasp sting symptoms, still happening after 6 days.
The fall colours are just getting going, they are spectacular so far.. Being in Canada with its 4 seasons is a blessings and wonder!!
Take action without thinking too hard. No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turn out. Do your best and see how it plays out.
Stretched out on a sunny bench enjoying a sunny day, clear blue skies, being totally lazy and enjoying the afternoon sun after the cooler morning weather.. was on the pier surrounded on all sides by water except for the small walkway that led from the shore to this cement pier out from the boat launch. I was happily minded my own business when I heard a buzzing near my left ear…. I reached up to brush it away from my hair/ear when this stabbing pain shot through my arm. Instant , and I mean instant searing pain. I shot up into a sitting position, but couldn’t see a thing. it was a hit and run…
If you have experienced a wasp/bee sting yourself, I need not go into detail, if you haven’t.. don’t go looking for it… Fortunately Bonnie had finished her walk and had arrived back to where I was.. we went to a drugstore right away to get something to deal with the pain, It was not something to ignore.. I looked for a stinger but didn’t see one… just a finger that was swelling and getting red. “after Bite” is the product they sold me at the pharmacy. When I got home I immediately took two Bendery allergy pills.
Having google has its benefits.. It was interesting that yes the area got all red but you could see a white dot where I had been stung… just like it was explained when I did the google search. One learns something new .. all the time.
I was told in the pharmacy that there were a lot of wasps in the area, it seems this is the season for them, the yellow jacket. was known for being plain vicious biting, just because.
Today’s PL calendar quote..
Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “That’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.

wasp sting.. wash affected area with warm water and soap, this removes any poison/venom that could be left on the skin, use an antibiotic with properties to help with the sting and the itching, if you have allergy pills take one/two….the pain and stinging sensation lasts for a couple hours to 4 or 5. The internet is full of info on how to deal with a sting.. if you suffer from severe reactions see a doctor right away. Especially if you have problems with your breathing. The symptoms could hang around for a couple of days… yeah.. on the positive, I learned something new.. it has been years since I’ve had to endure a sting…
It is not fun to be stuck in One Place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

Yesterday coming out of the Mer Bleue along the road that brings me out to the highway from the conservation area… the wild turkeys were doing their usual foraging enjoying the early morning quiet when a car came barreling down the road. This is a no exit road, it ends at the bog. The turkeys were making their way across the road, had to be over a dozen of them… I was slowed to a stop on my side of the road, when I saw the car. I waved to caution the driver.. but she didn’t stop, she did slow somewhat, but not really, the turkeys fortunately cleared a path for her. I guess they have had experience with uncaring humans.
I had to ask myself, what or why would someone be coming into a conservation area where people come to enjoy the quiet and solitude, to share with the animals in the beauty and bounty of nature – and have such a disregard for the critters that call this home. Of course, I had just left the parking area a few minutes past, and knew that there was a group gathering there of “seniors” who were going to be touring the bog. Several cars had already arrived for the 9 o’clock meeting time, and stragglers had been arriving the last 10, 15 minutes before I left. My guess is the rude driver was late .. and was bent on getting to the parking lot before the others took off. Not impressed.
No, the turkeys were wild turkeys and not the turkey vulture you see above.. Dirk took that picture a few years back and had graciously given me permission to use it. Isn’t he /she a beauty. When I went looking for a picture of the actual wild turkey, I spied this one and had to share.. I don’t understand myself how I’ve come to be so fascinated by the turkey type birds… but… there you have it… they aren’t even cuddly. Life is what it is… we don’t pick who or what we fall in love with.
There is that word.. L O V E …. let’s spread it around today… sprinkle it in all our actions..
Oyashikiri
When love becomes a habit and part of our every thought and action… life becomes a JOY that enriches all our moments.
Oh No she cried.. Go away, – Come again another day…the sun isn’t up yet – Let me stay in bed – Only for a little while longer – But – the dragon’s voice grew stronger – you have things to do – You can’t just lie in bed – Why ?? Why? Why?? – She tried pulling the covers over her head – the dragon pulled back his head and blew a gentle nudge her way – There are things to do and you will be late – now be a good girl and get out of bed – She knew he was right – the dragon was always right – But dragon wasn’t finished – Close your eyes for 30 seconds… go on… do as I say… with a sigh she closed her eyes…. She felt a gentle kiss on her forehead and smiled…. – Now you can get up his quiet calming voice spoke, she felt his love and knew he would be there with her to face the day – With a smile on her face and in her heart she rose to meet the day.
Begin each day with love…
That is the dragon way….
Praying before taking action changes the outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.
