No two doors are the same, no two people are the same, YET

Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement, (PL2023.22)

Everyday, we walk by doors and never see them. How many times have you walked by someone and not even been aware you’d done so… or … you see people all around you YET…. you cannot recognize or identify anyone you just passed. We have become so used to having “busy” around us, that we “tune out” and often are so wrapped up in our own thoughts.. we miss “the” moment.

The picture bottom left, When I first saw it, I was captured by the closed door and the open entrance right beside it. on closer inspection, I saw that they had different house numbers. Right away, I thought, “which entrance would I want to explore?” Do you have a preference?

I have learned over the years… to never judge a book by its cover.… what doorway would inspire a story from you today?

Value your intuition – Change your mind thinking “it will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached. (PL2021/20)

Temperatures have dipped here the last few days, a touch of days to come. The animals react to the change, their chatter is more insistent, the chipmunks have renewed their determination to gather all the goodies they can find. They don’t come out in the dead of winter, but the squirrels who stay active most of the time, are just as active. The floor of the area where I feed is alive with their movements .. I have to be careful, they are focused.

Even the Blue Jays are being demanding, not waiting, but dive bombing the minute the peanuts hit the ground.

What are your plans for today? Whatever you do… do so with the intent of enjoying every moment of your day!

Good morning… hello… bonjour… bom dia …

Remember this picture from yesterday? How many of you saw the bird?

The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important, but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face every task with wholehearted enthusiasm. _(PL2012.2)

In the darkness of night – when only the moon shone bright

two souls were entwined in a moment divine

the night was ablaze with twinkling stars

eternity was born

I was “home”

Beauty can be found anywhere, at any time.

Love is everywhere, we need only be open to the positive energy that surrounds us.

We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important, your effort is what is truly Precious. (PL2021.13)

Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.

I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.

He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!

Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

How cool is this! I saw this sign on a wall where there was gym equipment being sold. I knew when I saw it, it was a message to me, you all know I have gone back to Movati (health club/gym) … I’m “trying” to work it into my schedule so that it fits in with my “routine”. There are only so many hours in the day. My focus is and has always been.. being happy.. (I can be so self centered)

The other day I found myself watching other members using the various equipment that I see around. The cardio area has been set up differently from when I left in 2017 at that time, they were bringing in new equipment.. now I’m seeing it, and how it is used. I have been offered a free refresher hour, a tour of the new equipment and how it is used etc. Problem with that is I have to stay an hour with a trainer who will also try to be selling me private coaching lessons.

Not up to that at the moment… I just want to wander and use my time there to stretch, walk, do the stairs, and some weights.. etc. the stretching is important and the stairs. It has only been a short time since I’ve signed up again, and already, I can feel the difference in my legs. Doing the steps .. going up to the second level using the winding staircase… is a must.. even if at first I did it at a crawl. I see even the younger members holding on and “huffing”…. I am sure the stairs were not only designed for appearance, they are functional in more ways than one.

When you reach the 2nd level there is a spacious area with very comfortable looking chairs…(I’m happy to say, I do not sit or use the chairs… I keep moving. If I want to sit I do so on a bike.. and pedal.

Put your heart into what4ever you do, and you will find the joy in it.

If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it (PL2012.19)

Make it a happy day everyone.. Enjoy!
