“As a living person you interact with the people and things around you in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express your feelings, each and every day. “your artistic expressions are what make your life a work of art….” If you are ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions you will not be able to lead a full life. Life is an accumulation of small moments.” (members guide)
You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.

Daily Savings time change… yes… it is an hour ahead… service is at 10: a.m.
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

Remember – YOUR artistic expressions are what make your life a work of art!
I’m here and I’m coming down whether invited or not…

We are capable of handling whatever comes our way. Instead of asking yourself “Can I do it?” simply tell yourself “I’m going to do it” then, give it your best effort.”

Sometimes we are faced with sudden change in plans, in this case, the container of seeds I was carrying to a feeder slipped and fell to the ground, so instead of being in the feeder, there was a full cup of seed, peanuts and such on the ground at my feet. You can see my friend here was quick to help rescue the situation. He /she did not want me to feel my efforts would go unappreciated!
I’m off to see if she/he is still waiting for breakfast. Sky is clear and a bright blue.. clouds are white and fluffy.. Till soon…
No words, just sharing a few special moments with you.
Express yourself clearly so others can understand you. When you can’t communicate clearly, it can lead to problems. Always express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.
The activity at the feeders has been telling me for weeks now that the birds have begun to wander and soon, few of the original “gang” will still be around. Today at Mer Bleu there was a very clear indicator that in the bird world, spring is very near.
I saw one, than 2, then there they were, all scattered on the forest floor picking up seeds. The Red Wing Blackbirds… above, Dan saw the Rusty Blackbird in February… these birds are here early. It is interesting for me, since last year I read the signs, but didn’t understand, this year I recognize the “change’ in the ” glen” and realize that the travellers have started to migrate.
Start by thinking ” Let’s do it” Once you decide to do something and put your whole heart into it, things will start moving forward.

In Nature, things happen when it is time.. obviously these birds have decided it was time to move on and come to their “spring” grounds.

The darling woodpeckers are still hanging out… still a lot of snow on the ground in the woods.. If the birds are right, the balmier weather is here to stay.. We’ll have cold spells, but they will be fewer and farther in between.
Strive to live with a positive outlook everyday. Put your whole heart into whatever you do. With motivation you will feel joy and excitement.

The season is changing, I can but.. go with the flow…
the entrance is around here somewhere….. hold that thought….
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.

An artist ( I don’t like titles/roles) but I’m often referred to as an artist, so I’ll wear that hat for the moment, I learned a long time ago when I would have an urge to paint or visually express something and I’d draw a blank.. to stop… take a step back… and let it go if I had to.. if I forced the idea, or tried to replicate my “feeling” into a visual, I would end up with a disaster.. technically speaking I could paint/draw or sculpt something.. but it just wouldn’t be “right”. We all have had that “blank page” empty canvas moment.
When I’m in the woodland… some days I simply tend and fill the feeders.. and leave.. other days, I’m drawn to stand still, or sit where I am and let the environment speak to me. I take in the decaying vegetation, the fallen branches, the sounds and the scents… I simply stop moving, close my eyes to regroup, then with my eyes closed the sounds become music, the breeze/wind becomes an instrument harmonizing with the chatter of the squirrels/chipmunks and the social greetings of the birds. I am re-energized.
How many “me” moments do you take during the day/night.
Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward.
Perfect Liberty 2022.6
We limber up our bodies, we stretch, and move so that as we “age” we can still be mobile as “time” inches its way into our lives. Let’s’ not forget our minds… the mind gets so overworked, we expect it to constantly be on the alert for us. Take 30 seconds .. start with baby steps… give your mind a break, allow it a super stretch of “stillness”..
It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. if you are stuck in your own ways, you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we an from the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.

sometimes i ask – will the real me – please stand up!
visibility during the morning when the wind picked up
Sometimes in life, this is what happens when we least expect it to.. Other times, we know that there is the possibility that with weather conditions, the driving could get dicey. Still if we need to get things done, then we have to do our best to handle whatever comes our way, with careful attention and not only observe what is happening around us, but stay focused on the task at hand.
Multitasking reduces your joy by half. When doing something give it your all. There is joy in everything.

Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

In the shelter of the trees, the critters and I rather enjoyed the quiet of the woodlands, the crows, ravens and blue jays were not happy with something going on down the trail, they were squawking and aggressively ganging up on???? I didn’t go and see, there were so many of them having a shouting match … I stayed put where I was. Eventually it quieted down, and we simply went back to doing whatever we were into doing. The forest floor began to hum with the activities of the smaller critters, and I went on my way. That is when I discovered the snow was falling heavier and the winds had picked up.
