well hello!

They came, they looked around, satisfied, they left. Thank you! Ian/Chantal, great pictures.

Everyday we are blessed with gifts from the world around us. It’s important to take a moment each day to say “thank you” for the unexpected pleasures that come our way

Harmony bring us peace

Let’s strive to always maintain good relationships at home, at work and in the community we live in.

LOL it does look slanted, but when I go and look at it … it looks fine, could have been the angle when I took it… anyway, the minerals are safe away from furry paws.

The Brats play cowboys or space cadets not sure, all I know is at some time in the wee hours they go into frisky mode and use the bed as a trampoline to dive over to the bureau where their cat tower is. Thankfully I’m in a dead sleep.. and barely wake now that I know what is happening, The first night or two.. it was a bit un-nerving

No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something,

The joy your feel when you’ve put your all into something its yours alone, Nobody can take that away from you,

Have a good day everyone. happy start to a new week.

The Sun

The sun that had warmed and welcomed her earlier that day was no longer friendly. She lay in quiet despair feeling the unrelenting heat, burrow down deep into her body. The ground under her was hard, unforgiving and uncaring that her body hurt. Where once she thought of the sun as a healing energy and one that gave life, she now thought only of how it was slowly killing her with it scorching blistering persistence on her now barely living shell.

The once slender arm that one gracefully waved to friends and showed her animation for life, now lay limp and useless across her eyes. Her parched throat tried in vain to find one tiny drop of saliva ..anything to relieve the thirst that raged inside her she felt her soul evaporating drop by drop into the stillness around her. Nothing moved. The animals knew to conserve their energy. Not a sound could be heard … and she had no energy left to try to cry for help.

How long she lay in the semi state of consciousness, no one would ever know. All hope for rescue was gone, she simply let herself go.

It was at that moment that she felt rather than saw a presence. She knew her eyes would not open, her strength was gone. Maybe the angels had come to take her away from this burning inferno. Maybe… he would once more feel the cool of a shaded nook, and feel the fresh green grass beneath her feet. If she were to die now… she would be rescued from this horrible state of passive death.

What was that…. a sweet smell … the air around her had changed… Then yes… she felt a drop on her lips. A gentle rain, just enough to slowly wind its way down her throat and give a feeling o reprieve. She knew she could not move… so she lay and accepted the gift from the “gods”…. her body was bathed in healing rain, drop by drop she felt her skin greedily take it in.

Maybe she would see tomorrow… maybe there was hope… as her body drdank t his blessing from above, she felt the earth beneath her begin to take shape and mould to her now drenched body…. Her arms that had been limp and useless now began to lift in prayer to the skies.

Her eyes opened to the world and she knew she could stand tall and be strong again. In letting go and accepting the moment of despair, she had welcomed the unknown, in doing so, it became her friend…. she was free to embrace the sun again.

In death, comes a new beginning/life.

Q

Monday

Good morning everyone,,

Heal from the past

Simply be here

There is only NOW

Cherish what can’t be measured

New Zealand is very beckoning. This picture my friend posted has an almost surrealism to it. Moving has had a dramatic effect on me.. I am still putting together the pieces that shattered around me during the start of the move.

The reality of my situation didn’t hit me till I was able to distance myself from what “was”. You all know the expression,. “one can’t see the forest for all the trees”

PL2012.24

in my case it wasn’t a small change.. and… when the reality hit, it was a whopper.

Till soon..

musing

When we experience loss – we learn to survive

the sun keeps shining, night follows day

We wake one morning and realize, we’ve outgrown who we used to be.

We choose silence from noise – somewhere in between nothing makes sense – but we are learning

We are no longer who we were – our season is changing

In the solitude of our silence – something new is born.

Love from a place of depth

Life unfolds in its own rhythm

Letting go, means we care enough, trust and have faith in being true to Self. There is great strength in Quiet.

Slow Down

Put your heart into your words.

Do you tend too speak in just a matter-of-fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

And away we go – another day of moving

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.

Vendredi

Last night as I tried to quiet my mind, my thoughts drifted in and out through the many corners of that gray matter within my skull. I felt like I was shedding skin (a chapter of my life) like a snake…. I felt myself glide through a mist, and ………… ………… in the stillness of the night, I stepped willingly into the abyss.

Find a good balance between your present and past experiences.

Without forgetting your original intent, continue to develop your own path by also relying on your knowledge and experience.

PL2019.20

A reminder for me during this move.

Be Sincere and honest toward the people and situation you encounter.

Your expression comes to life through your interactions with people and situations. Strive to put your whole heart into having good relationships with those around you.

what ?

What a hoot!! Let’s see if you can tell which house is mine ?

Ok everyone now knows I’ve put the house up for sale… the once quiet residential area I fell in love with, has become a very different place, with a totally unfamiliar vibe. The real-estate agents listed it yesterday, there is now a sign in my front yard. Thanks Bonnie for looking up the listing for me.

I have had many encouraging messages, for that I thank you, it has been a mouthful for sure. There are a lot of memories associated with the place. When we bought, the property was bare of vegetation. There is a cherry tree that gives an abundance of cherries every spring, and in early spring there is a Saskatoon Berry tree with amazing berries. The birds, love the trees and visiting the property. I will miss them. There is even a rabbit that lives somewhere in the neighbourhood, spends a lot of time in my front yard. (wonder why)

In the back I have a maturing magnolia, maple, evergreen, and an assortment of other small trees and vegetation… In my new place (apartment) I have an outdoor patio, with a hedge .. that will be my greenery. All things must evolve and we must embrace new beginnings.
