Spring

A walk of discovery in the rain the other day. I love the quiet at this time of year, the awakening of the forest floor… the miniature ponds where winter snows have not yet evaporated. The falling rain plops into the standing water, creating beautiful little waves that dance and make merry… New growth hungrily soaks it up. I walked the old road towards the research station…. saw the sign that intrigued me when I first started to explore the area…

It is hard to imagine that this was once a thriving country road, with a tree farms, and other country homes. A speed limit of 60 mph or was it after the metric system came to Canada. ? . Change, the only constant in life!

For those celebrating a holiday week-end… may Peace and Glad tidings warm your hearth this cool misty spring morning.

We are each and everyone of us, “different”… we have our way of thinking and our own lifestyles. That is what makes life interesting. (PL2020.20)

Walking in the rain is exhilarating

Even if you have done it many times before,

put your whole heart into everything you do,

even if it’s something as simple as pushing a button.

…Believe …

Shrouded in mist… another day begins.

We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. It is important to do our best to have harmonious relationships with everyone around us.

decisions

My two handsome brutes are back… they are out for a morning stroll, looking to see who else is around. I was overjoyed when we met up. They remembered me and came to say hello.. ask me if I was “over the moon”.

My other wonderful find this week was a surprise I got when I went into the ladies at the church. Yoshiko was in Japan recently to bring Zak, Ashley and Alex to Canada ( their school break) so they could see first hand where their parents are living .. not much of winter left, but they did get to see snow.. you can see it is still around here.

Ta Da!!!! a toilet seat cover.. ingenious… seems they use them in Japan, not because of the cold, but the heat!!!!! Who knew!

Life is full of wonderful moments. Isn’t it.

A friend took me around to show me his creative endeavours, he is a huge Prince fan, he has built a museum, nightclub and picture gallery in Second Life to showcase the artists work. This has been done over the years, and introduced me to a singer I knew little of. Artists who work with the software and technology of the gaming world add a whole new dimension to the every day world ..

A thankful heart leads to happiness

When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for; the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

I would like to say Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart to all who have written me over the years telling me how much you enjoy this blog and the philosophy shared. The other day I found a section in the format that had stored many many wonderful comments and feedback that for whatever reason, I did not see, or even know were there. I responded . finally.. some were over a year plus old. I apologize.

Thursday

The snow is melting, yesterday I took the shovel to the big dump of snow on my deck it had been almost shoulder high, … the milder temperatures had me facing a pile of snow only about knee deep. I did clear some, I was (smart) enough to stop when I got tired. If it is mild again today and there is a bit of rain, it should rid me of what is left on the deck. I can put out my lay back and sun chair. Early spring is the best… too cool for most to be out, but I love it, especially when the sun is out. Yesterday my companion was the male cardinal, he was singing away… he is a romantic, he courts his female.=^_^=

Live today filled with enthusiasm

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Happy first day of Spring.

today

What is it about today’s world. How come we are always taking selfies?

Why would one need a selfie when getting out of the tub? In fact what is the fascination with taking pictures of what we are doing, should we not be out living our lives.. interacting with other people, catching up with friends, making new friends?

I got a message the other day about storage, I realized that I had zillions of pictures… like really.. how many times do I need to see a picture of a tree, and is that the same squirrel I captured with my camera the other day… was I really going to pay to store more pictures that I may or may not ever look at again.???

Really world, time to focus on living what is left of my life. I realize that out of thousands of pictures .. only a few are really important to me.. the rest are an accumulation of moments, that I lived.. and today, this actual moment is the moment I have to deal with NOW. I am going to make a serious attempt to clear out the non essential “stuff”…

How about you? How are you doing today? Have you done something new? Are you planning something or working on something that is exciting for you? Quincy (elder cat) is wanting me to get on with this so I can finish feeding he and Quinn … She has settled in and is now letting us all know.. she is here to stay… by far, she has the loudest purr I’ve ever heard.

Yesterday I put my chair out in the middle of a clump of snow cuz that is where the sun was shining the strongest… and just sat with my eyes closed enjoying the rays… I put on my sound identifier (birds) in ten minutes it had recorded over a dozen birds who serenaded my stolen moments. It was so peaceful, I didn’t want the radio on in the car when I started my drive home.

Please slow down .. make time for YOU … get out and enjoy the world as it unfolds a new season for us to experience ..

If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it. Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

fyi. some of the conservation areas are now barred (closed) overnight. Unfortunately the grounds are being used late evenings by people with no respect for property and the wildlife.

A quiet time .. time to regroup, refresh, we need “ME” time.. to digest and organize our thoughts. A time to reflect on all the GOOD, the POSITIVES in our lives, we do have them, it is unfortunate that often we allow ourselves to get caught up in negative energy. The scrambled and chaotic energy seems to be all around us. It is our choice .. and ours alone .. on how we accept and deal with challenges/opportunities that come our way.

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective.

The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

You will feel better when you take immediate action

Things have a way of getting more complicated when you procrastinate. Work on taking immediate action and you will discover many ways to tackle the situation.

differences

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes.

Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that’s the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.
