Exit

When a fire alarm starts going off in your building before 7 a.m. and just keeps ringing that warning sound, ahh what do you do… Thank goodness I’m on the ground floor and I have an exit right on to my patio which is just outside of the courtyard where where the fire trucks are rolling in. Yes this is the day after a snow storm that has left about 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground over whatever was there before the latest snow fall.

Today I’m showing some of the door ways that I would choose to enter… to escape the noise and the confusion that happens when an alarm goes off in a Highrise complex.. (adult living) My door that I got open with some difficulty since its middle of winter and I have not opened it since the fall, was my patio door. Grabbing my boots and trudging out beyond my hedge to the fire trucks… Firemen were coming back from doing a walk around the building looking for ???

I still don’t know what happened, but I was assured, I would be fine, and not to worry … no action was required on my part. The cats who were taking it in stride, but like myself were not happy with the shrill ongoing noise. Took another 15 minutes or so before the alarm was silenced. I can assure you, it is a rude way to start one’s day.

If you have an interest in doors, today being Thursday, the link to the Thursday Door link on Dan’s No Facilities site, will be posted at the end of this blog.

Today’s message

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through,

PL2014.26

Since I was already outside, when I went out to find out what was going on, I grabbed my shovel and cleared my patio area. Not such a smart move with me just at the tail end of a serious chest and sinus infection.

Have a good day everyone.

Wednesday

Sunbathing is an activity that Quin likes to take in when the sun comes streaming through the window. It also allows her to monitor her patient (me) who is still lingering under the covers with a miserable cold. Her brother is more hands on, he likes to be right by my head, I guess its to make sure I’m still breathing. I’m too tired to even be grumpy about it.

Express yourself freely within the rules

We are able to experience the joy of being creative because we have the framework of laws, morals and rules to follow.

Live freely and vivaciously within these rules.

I sent one of my gals on assignment yesterday, show us how many ways our readers can stop, sit, relax for a moment.. She travelled to a retreat… found a comfortable chair and … here are some examples of taking an “adult, TIME OUT” you can’t hear it but there is a water fall in the courtyard… it was very picturesque but you can sit anywhere, at any time… You just have to make the time, to STOP for a moment, and SIT …

I know it is hard.. every time I open one of my devices I find some kind of ad/commercial/video about how to get better, feel better, and how their product will be a miracle cure like no other.. All you have to do is send them your information and buy their product. This Time Out is free…it is all Y O U.

Ok you can do that if that is what pleases you.. but you can also try … listening to your body/mind…and you can’t properly listen if you are constantly on the go… or interacting with whatever noise is coming at you. BUT Y O U CAN…. stop for 5 minutes… and just sit down somewhere, close your eyes, and listen to nothing in particular.. maybe count your breath, in and out…

I recommend, you close your eyes, take a deep breath in… and tilt your head back, and just let it out with a huge big sigh… and feel how your body responds… as you exhale your shoulders actually crop slightly.. and wow it didn’t hurt at all, it wasn’t hard to do… you survived.. Try it for a few more minutes… I know you can do it… don’t be shy, let the sigh be audible if you like… its YOUR moment… After that hard workout… you can treat yourself to another quiet moment, maybe sip on a coffee, drink some organic tea… after all you took a TIME OUT… you deserve a reward… smile…

The best part is you can do it several times a day if you want… if its too hard, try it three for times a week… see if it helps…you can work up to doing it daily… Putting yourSELF first can at times be challenging .. but. you are worth it !!!

This is a cold hard fact…. no one but YOU can make changes in YOUR life, Things happen that we can’t control, but WE can control how we deal with/accept… the opportunities that come our way.

With the lunar new year not far off… I let my thoughts drift to another place and time… in my youth, I dreamed of being able to wander the grounds of a monastery high in the mountains. I knew I would feel at home .. looking out into the distance… hearing the soft chanting of the monks… the sweet smell of incense and sandalwood wafting through the air. I never made it to China but my Mom and sister did… . no their interests were not mine… but they did get to explore and bring home memories of a land that was very different from the world we knew. My time abroad was spent in Japan.. smiles with a soft stirring in my heart as I recall the cherry blossoms… and the rice fields as i wandered and took in life in Japan. I loved it there, but I missed hearing English and French, oui, je suis Canadianne …

We can’t always do all the things we want to… but we can explore and take in the world around us, every day there is something new to discover. We need only look around, and reach out, be open to try something new, something different, try something you have never done before. It’s a thought, think about it.

Once upon a time .. we used an expression, “arm chair traveler” have you heard it? do you know it’s meaning? Now I am an “internet buff” I use different platforms to explore my interests. In person, travel to far distant places is no longer a possibility for me, I’m just not interested in airports, long lines, customs, politics.. I simply want to enjoy life and the pleasures available to me. I am thankful for the experiences I have had, and the many wonderful people I’ve met along the way…. now I make no apologies for making time for ME… my interests, my joy at being able to explore places via the creative efforts of others.. I am learning and appreciating the talent and skills of creative minds that impact my world in a positive way.

I discovered I like being happy. I like sharing that happiness… and if it isn’t what others want who are in my space.. I move on. simply said. life is to be enjoyed.

Always express yourself for the happiness of others as well as yourself.

The happiness of those around you can lead to your own happiness. Cultivate a heart to always wish for the happiness of others.

winter

Even if there is snow, the little critters still have to eat.

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “this is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

Instead of worrying do something about it

It doesn’t help to overthink situations such as, “what if this happens?” or, “Things might end up that way” Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.
