Hors d’oeuvres – Onion Bhaji with Tamarind sauce

It is not often I allow myself the luxury of picking these delicious delights up, but after last night I felt I deserved something special. If anyone knows what the country of origin is for these tasty morsels I would appreciate it if you could let me know. I came across them about a year or so ago, there was a package on sale at a local specialty food shop … I thought why not… I was feeling adventurous.. I was not prepared for just how much I would enjoy them. I suspect they are laden with calories.. so I don’t allow myself the luxury, especially when prices have gone up so much. I eat them cold right out of the packaging. (they are found in the fresh food deli section .)

What happened last night. Grief,, sorrow, delayed reaction to the loss of my precious Canaille.

Canaille was a Porti (Portuguese Water Dog) who stole my heart the moment I met her. She and I bonded like nothing I had ever experienced before. We went everywhere together, she was my constant companion, My husband graciously allowed her to sleep with us, he knew there was no parting us.

When he was diagnosed with terminal cancer with only a very limited time to live, I rushed home to get documents they needed at the hospital and get personal items he needed. When I got home, she was having a stroke… I rushed her to the vet… and… well… you know the rest… it was a devasting day for me, but I needed to move forward. I never had time to properly grieve for her… Then recently a friend sent me pictures he found on an old disk I had given him… the above picture was what he sent me… Its been 8 years but the blinding grief, hit me so suddenly it was like it happened yesterday. We can’t go back, life moves on… but …. the hurt, the sorrow, the stabbing reality of the loss …. has shaken me to the core.

Life is fleeting, please… don’t squander time with loved ones… cherish the moments you get to hold them, share time with them… when its gone, there is nothing left but the memory.


Today’s message..

Offer your services instead of expecting from others.

Take the initiative to do what you can to help others. Understand their needs and act swiftly.

Thursday

Good day everyone,… my tuning forks arrived.. missing from the picture is the rubber disc used to tap the forks on. (you can find info on Tuning Fork healing via. internet /or AI) I didn’t have time when they arrived to have a proper look, so it was bedtime before I took them out and had a look at what arrived. I sat back and played them all. Enjoying the white vibrations from the various forks,.. It was pleasant .. I look forward to really working with them… I mention this because… I slept this morning till mid morning.. I usually wake around 4, 5 a.m. Today it was almost 10:30 a.m. when I woke up !!! NO outing to the woodlands, or to feed the crows… I am usually on the road between 7 and 8 .. no later.


You can become more attentive with prayer

Live your life with a prayerful mind so that you can be more attentive and make the people around you that much happier.

Wednesday

So many time I see kindness, passers by moving aside when they see you are carrying a heavy bag of groceries, wait patiently while an elderly person is crossing a busy lane in a parking lot, or a mother with children is wanting to move the children along when they are blocking an aisle by being “children”. What I don’t see, is a nod of thanks.. or even a smile that the kindness happens/happened.

We are all living in a world that has become indifferent to the hurry up attitude, or demanding schedules that keep us constantly on the move. I know… life gets busy, life happens, and we all have deadlines or places we have to be. Many of us function at times on auto-pilot, it happens. May I take this opportunity to ask you… myself included in this reminder… say thank you more often, and smile, nod, recognize that we are not alone trying to maneuver in this hectic day to day of modern living. A smile can change someone’s day…. even if is for a moment.

Your enthusiasm, will pave the way

Your enthusiasm will fuel your efforts and creativity, and will spread to those around you, driving new developments.

PL2019.7

Have a good day dear friend…. till soon.

now

People gather, party, dance, share moments of simply enjoying music and friendships.. This is the time of year people are out and about more than they usually are… make sure to enjoy the season, share your smile. It is also the time of quiet reflection. Whatever you decide, it is your decision.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others,

domingo

Snow covers the ground a beautiful blanket of white. Holiday music is heard every where we go. You ready for the season of holiday cheer and festive gatherings? Not to be a wet blanket, but it isn’t a holiday for everyone, please be aware of the hardships others may be facing.

Sincere condolences and prayers go out to the families that are facing the loss of a family member… or having to spend time in the health care facilities who are open 24/7. The support workers who work holiday and shifts, who can’t just stop what they are doing to celebrate. Hats off to the work crews who no matter what the day, night … if the weather decides to play havoc with travel, they are out working to keep our roads safe. Its not a party for everyone…

Work happily with good rhythm

If you take on your tasks willingly, you will enjoy the task and you may even be rewarded with a more positive outcome.

Expecting too much leads to dissatisfaction

When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too.
