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.

18th

Be mindful with prayer. If you work on things with a prayerful heart, there will be many things you can be taught,
Perfect Liberty 2023.18

Perceiving equals doing. Each time you notice something, it is a gift from God. Don’t miss this opportunity to act.
Perfect Liberty 2021. 15

YOU are here now, take a minute to reflect on this moment. Each of these pictures will lead you to an “inner” thought, close your eyes, and simply BE. Takes just a minute, then go on with your day. Carry that peaceful moment of mindfulness with you into the day,

Happiness is sharing with YOU,

The path to achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation, This will pave the way for achievement.
Perfect Liberty 2023.17

“Give voice to your needs” simple advice .. not always easy to do. We need recall and to notice how we feel, give ourselves time to relax and accept the moment before we move on.

Sometimes we have to accept that we are faced with limitations for a reason.

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?

Breakfast

I visited with them for almost an hour, the guests just kept arriving. In the afternoon at a different location, I had cardinals, chickadees, sparrows (several varieties ) starlings and a couple I didn’t recognize. In the morning I also brunched with crows, MANY crows.. Yesterday you could say was a day for the birds and wildlife. * I didn’t get pictures of the nuthatches/chickadees/BlueJays or woodpeckers.. there was too much movement (there had to be close to a dozen Bluejays) around me. *Note.. there is a place or two now for those of you who bring a small stool or folding chair to sit and enjoy.

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you ae troubled.. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others.

Have a good day everyone..

I didn’t want to hear, but what could I do, if I moved away too quickly they would know they were not alone. Sound carries when you are walking along a trail, especially if it is a boardwalk, or a trail that winds and turns. The couple were not happy with each other, and both were trying to get their point across. Unfortunately, at the same time. Neither was listening to the other.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves alone.. a lot to think about and no one to dialogue with. Pets are great listeners, but.. don’t offer much in the line of feedback. If you care enough to argue with each other, then would it not be important to actually listen to what the other is saying. For those of us who have lost a partner .. because life was no longer an option for them …the finality of that separation is something that never goes away, You can’t take words back that were said in anger, or frustration.

Respect the existence of each other The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles Respect and understand each other.
Perfect Liberty 2023.14

The past leads to now and now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each one.

Friday

Yesterday you saw some of the buildings that caught my eye on the way to Ompah. Here you are seeing some of land I hiked along. To get to the water, I had to go down a steep ravine to a level area .. where I was looking down at the water… it was so inviting that when I came to a wooden set of steps, I ventured down to the water’s edge.

Lesson I learned… If you go down, you have to come back up! Focused on getting pictures, I had not taken into account to get to where I was I had walked down a steep incline, I found the steps while I was walking the grounds searching for another path leading back up to the area where my friend waited in the car. !!

Look at the rocks, the beautiful old fence, weathered and worn but still standing Yes I likely overdid, I didn’t have my walking sticks with me and because the area hosted art shows in the summer weather, the land was cleared of fallen branches and the like. BUT it was gorgeous .. life was good, life was vibrant, the air clear, getting colder yes (we were heading for an evening of snow and dropping temperatures) I WAS HAPPY, JOYFUL AND FULL OF LOVE… fresh air, the silence of open country (no city sounds) Yes, my body had a lot to say about the walking/hiking and the constant in and out of the car… BUT it was worth it. I think we have all had such experiences. If we are going to be here (on earth) we should appreciate and enjoy as much as we can. Peace on earth, begins at home and in our hearts.

Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.
