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.

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

somewhere

somewhere,

somehow, I got there

hidden just beyond where I stood

I heard the sound of water

.. .. I looked beyond the trees

and there it was…

I had arrived..

sight ..sound … light …

Collide..

I am here

now

Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. there are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.

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.

Saying thank you

Thank you… again and again… It feels great if someone tells you,, “thank you” even many times. By repeating this , become a person who comes up with the word “thank you” naturally.

Sax

Yesterday was National Sax Day in the USA, It was interesting to hear a song I knew always played by a tenor sax, being played with an alto.. same musician was delivering the song, different date. Each instrument lent a different “story” to the music. I found myself hearing and feeling totally different reactions to the piece. I contemplated on this later… how one person can interpret a song one way with one instrument and yet have it be almost a totally different experience when that same song is delivered with a different instrument .. and at a different time/place.

Like watching a fire burn … beautiful in all its stages, same fire, but always different. hmffpph .. LIFE IS.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings

memories

The mind gathers up and stores the many moments we live. Some are easily found .. and others elude us for years till something happens that recalls or brings back that moment in time .. Other moments are dropped into a memory pocket with others, and all we get later is a vague glimpse into… a moment lived/shared.

Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness.

contemplate

It’s easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

confession

Same area, just weeks apart, drum roll, It is dark in the mornings when I get up, very dark, yesterday when I left it was too dark, today I’ll wait a bit before leaving. I got to the feeders and no one was there to greet me. The sleepy heads heard me and slowly began to arrive, but they were not their chatty selves, there was a lot of grumbling (Ok I might embellish a bit) But they were not their busy busy selves. Bless the little chickadees they were present and greeted me through the grayness of the morning.

Now.. listen up. I have never been a wonton soup fan. In fact I don’t recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. EVER. in Costco the other day, I was getting my shrimp Sui Mi dumplings, and a lady and her friend came to the area and began taking out the wonton soup packages that were displayed beside my Sui Mi. The lady couldn’t say enough about the soup and she and her friend took several boxes. I smiled took my purchase and left. However… the conversation stayed with me.. she had been very enthusiastic. and I love shrimp dumplings. (this wonton soup is filled with shrimp dumplings).

I confess to being at a time in my life where I am not overly keen on making dumplings anymore, or cooking anymore than I have to….. so.. when I went for my top of shrimp dumplings the other day, I took a box of the wonton soup. (6 individual servings per box). I have now gone back and purchased more TWICE because I am having a bowl of wonton soup for breakfast, at lunch and maybe even as a snack later, AND … I bought a box yesterday and already I’ve gone through half of it. Thankfully, I am hoping that this phase will pass. When my husband was still alive, at this time of year he liked the Costco French onion soup .. I never bothered, as I said I was not a soup person. I let him have all the portions. Well…I bought a box of the French onion soup yesterday too. AND its pretty good…….

Tell yourself “things Happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.
