Cloudy, overcast, rain, fog, heat and humidity. Summer has arrived.
Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the world. Be one of those who makes more smiles. (PL2023.23)

In my wandering yesterday, I came across a book at charity. I don’t need anymore books, but you know how it is.. your eye falls on something, and after you pick it up to look at it, it somehow stays in your hand.
The life 101 series – You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought. by John-Robert and Peter McWilliams
“Tis the good reader that makes the book; in every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ears; The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. Emerson
Value your intuition. (PL2014.19)

Isn’t this the sweetest face.. loves his peanuts.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested. When ever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance, Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion. (PL2014.17)

Thursday
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.

Wednesday
The easier the task, the more careful you should be. When you do something you are used to doing, it is easy to fail due to overconfidence or conceitedness. Avoid falling into this trap, and proceed with caution (PL2012.12)
Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent, (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Finally Friday
Treat today a if it is your first time around. Just because you succeeded in the past it doesn’t guarantee that things will go as smoothly this time around. Every day, each moment, there is a new challenge to face. (PL2011.7)
Life is an adventure, live each moment as best you can, you can never redo it there is no rewind and replay, . PL Precept #1 Life is Art.

pause, go back!
When you get stuck, go back to the beginning … Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm. (PL2012.04)
I don’t know if this is an old soul I’ve met in years past, but every once in awhile, there is/are turtles walking the trail(s) where they come across long legged creatures like myself. Wonder what they think of us. Check out this critters back claws.

another day begins
Good morning everyone, today being Thursday I’m sharing a couple of doorways that I found along the St Lawrence (the river between Canada and the USA) It was a beautiful day for a drive .. a friend and i had an “outing” … there is a food stop along the hwy that runs along the river to Cornwall. It was a lovely day for a drive. the hamburgers are actually made with real meat patties,,, the fries are delicious. everything is made fresh on the spot, Rather than just sit and visit, we explored and enjoyed the beautiful day, Bonus,, I found some great welcoming doors.
Today’s quote..
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, (PL 2020.30)

For those who have asked for the last post on my virtual post site… This is the link https://virtualnws8.ca/
Update .. my car came back to me yesterday, it was detailed and repaired, it looks factory new. Smells like a new car The dealer (Surgenor GM Ottawa ) did an amazing job of repairing it and getting it back to me as soon as possible. Their customer service team goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after a client’s needs. We all hear the advertisements, but this is a team that provides and excels at looking after their customers.. remember how they helped when my car rebelled on me when I was out in the woods…
The Service Advisor who looks after my car when it goes in, for regular maintenance and other required services is excellent at what he does, And it is not just him, it was so busy when my car had its breakdown, a member of the mgmt. team gave of his time to help out. No wonder everyone who uses Surgenor has only praise for the service they provide Whether it was the car jockey or one of the mechanics they are tops! The critters did the car in, chewing wires and whatever else they could get at.. but the staff at Surgenor saved the day! Kevin (service advisor) thank you.. you wore your super hero cape again!
There you have it.. my post for today, now I’m going to go and drive my all cleaned up and road ready Buick!
Remember to be kind and smile today… it always comes back to you!
