How quickly things can change, with the rain and mild evening we had, I wonder what the scene will be when I arrive this morning. From -14 temperatures the other day, to in the 40’s today. The above pictures I took yesterday morning. The sugar coated trees and forest floor were magical.
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.

December is a month of many celebrations… It is a wonderful time to share and enjoy the diversity of the world we live in.
Perception is important Take immediate action once you suddenly perceive. You might discover something important in what you perceive.

I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of the beauty that Nature provides us with in any season. Today there were many pictures of cardinals and blue jays against the snowy background that is now our backdrop till sometime in early next year. Local birders and nature photographers have been enjoying the flash of colour against the fresh fallen snow …
Seasons come and go, but always, you will be in the NOW. Make each moment count, enjoy today .. it won’t happen again.
Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstanding.
No doubt, that winter had blown in. This picture was taken last year, so no chair left on the deck this year, but the snow is here, we got freezing rain, snow, ice pellets, more nasty freezing rain and snow ALL night and it is still doing its best to make sure everyone knows.. this is it… After encountering PC glitches with a new version of software program I use all the time.. I looked back at the wise woman in the mirror and said “good idea” went to bed, pulled up the covers and tuned out.
Listen to others until the end. If you put your thoughts first, you will not be able to listen to others until the end and understand them well.

When you face difficulties start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something that you can do,

The plows must be out somewhere. usually my lane has been done overnight, but it hasn’t, guess I get to “break a trail” Have a great start to your week everyone.. IF you are dealing with similar road conditions as we are here .. BE SAFE.
Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

When a trail is closed it is usually because the forestry personnel didn’t get to clear parts of the trail that were blocked by fallen trees, before the weather changed, there is always a reason. sometimes it isn’t obvious, there could be a tree that has been snapped and hasn’t fallen yet, and again, the crews were unable to remedy the problem before the change in weather. Unless you know the trail and the woodland area well, stay clear until it is opened again. Please be safe,
For the sake of others, society, and world peace. Always live keeping in mind everything you do is for the sake of others, society and world peace. PL 2021.10
Look at this bird, can you dig his/her haircut.. I was gob smacked when Michel posted this first picture, then I saw his two follow up pictures and knew I wanted to share this bird with you. Doesn’t she look like a Gertrude or maybe Harvey! Absolutely darling. You can find more of Michel Lanthier’s photos on FB https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79. He’d friended a fox, there are some great pictures of this little sweetheart on his photo pages.
I get asked why I go out everyday.. the answer is simple, I find much joy in sharing time with the wildlife, and in the nature they live in, It is in being out in the “world” that I get to experience and meet like minded “souls”… Thanksgiving is always a reminder that we have so much to be grateful, to the photographers who stand/wander in all kinds of weather, to share with us their “bounty” I send heartfelt gratitude…
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.

Accept everything with appreciation. Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them. A person who is always thankful is a happy person.
It is important to say “thank you” … Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself, whether it is food, people or things Learn to accept everything, whether it i something you like or not.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our American readers, in Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving in October, and in PL (Perfect Liberty) we have service every month on the 21st. (Day of Thanksgiving/Appreciation. No matter… wherever you are, feel the energy of LOVE and GRATITUDE, there is love in the world a lot of it.. We just need to give it more emphasis.. and to share our ability to bring happiness to others. Start with a smile. Smiles are infectious.
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.

btw. PL Thanksgiving, day of appreciation is every month on the 21st. With services in churches at 10: a.m.
