It was a beautiful day for reflection yesterday.
Day 26 of the PL Calendar
Maintain a positive attitude and wisdom will come to you.
Worrying will prevent you from having good ideas. Stay positive and you will find a solution.

When a stranger lands in your space – There is nowhere to escape
The eyes reflect the night, you look for life inside, but find there is no sight
Others wander the night, some with seeing eyes, but not the stranger in your space
what brought her here, will tomorrow a tear be shed, or will we both stare into the night
waiting for the starship to return for her. Of my world she cannot be, for in my world, there is room for only me I have eyes that see and a heart that breaks, vacant eyes belong in another time and space.
Be calm and kind hesitating to share true feelings, can hurt not only ourselves but others. PL calendar .. day 17 Oyashikiri

Trees reaching towards the sky, as far as the eye can see,
lost in the bush, no not me, but lost in the moment, yes
I travel the distance to visit the open skies and the wild abandon of the tall-growing trees
In any direction I head, I know that just around the bend, I will find a crop of trees
Yesterday with the azure skies and dazzling sunshine, it was anyone’s guess just where my day would lead, without a care, I let my spirit roam. I soon found myself on a highway headed south-west. Crossing the 416 I knew I would stop for food in Kemptville. Taking myself out is always a surprise. A&W and fries, and lots of cold water. yum.
Happy is different for everyone. Find yours today. Every day is a new opportunity to find and express, appreciation, and gratitude for the “happy” in our lives.
Did I spot something in the field? No, I caught the moment. For me it was joyful.
PL Calendar, day 16 Don’t hold anything back; give it your all
Always approach things with full enthusiasm and energy. Then, things will develop in a new direction.
I love my life, and all the goodness that surrounds me. You are a part of this goodness, when you share with me, I appreciate the time you took to visit my blog, and thrilled to bits when you drop in and say hi, or express your views. Life is good when we appreciate those around us. Life is good when we love unconditionally.

off route 43
I stepped out of the car the other day, without moving, I was lost
Sometimes it happens, without knowing it, I somehow pushed pause
so while the rest if the world drives by, children play, and daylight fades away
meanwhile, I am in pause mode, and here I will stay
Till reality and memories catch up, to my odyssey in space
no mistake, what is, is.

one can never go back.
I came, and went, laughed, cried, blossomed and flew away.
You missed that moment, didn’t you?
A moment comes, and vanishes, within seconds,
true intentions come from the heart
no day is like another
a moment lost in anger
is time not lived in happiness
with winter comes a calming bliss
purity and stillness
no matter the chaos around us
when we are present in every way
a moment is never missed
life is what we make of it
choices we make,
be happy today, make it a special day
why, because you can!

Sometimes when I need to remember a destination that still evokes the spirit of open country, freedom to roam, with an abundance of natural landscapes, I dig out my trips to Ompah. We would find what some would call a road, but in fact would be perhaps a skidoo trail sitting idle till the winter season descended allowing the snow vehicles to travel into the inviting dense woodlands. We ruined many a muffler till we got the truck. Such were our wanderings. The winter season would not call us back, the snow machines are too noisy. Although I’m sure that had the mood struck, we would have unearthed our snowshoes and tramped our way somewhere into the waiting arms of Mother Nature.
That is the advantage of the snow machines, they traverse land that is unseen during the spring, summer and fall months. There is a season for everyone. It is finding that bit of paradise. Each and every one of us, will describe our personal wonderland with a reverent awe, yet to another, they can’t imagine it at all.

Sometimes, we just sit around,
we don’t make a sound
except perhaps a burp now and then
really the day stretches on
we don’t know where the time has gone
It takes years of trial and error to develop this useful skill. We live in a world of go, go, go.
Sitting with only the gentle stirrings of the world around you.
Can be a difficult task indeed.
Try bundling up and doing it in the dead of winter.
It is an amazing release of unwanted “baggage”.
Sometimes, the road that beckons isn’t the road you are on.
You will find that stepping into a different space, will also bring you to another place and maybe even time.
Live each moment with the interest you give a new book that has caught your fancy, where each page is riveting and you drink in each word, fingers poised to turn the page.
Our lives are just as interesting, when we sit in the silence of the moment, The reality of BEING is rejuvenating.
Sometimes, it simply is… no more..no less…
Bom dia everyone, have a good day dear friends.. I carry you in my heart always..

Good morning, bom dia, at the start of another beautiful day. 8 in my world is considered a lucky number. I just happened to have my camera ready when Nick had his back turned. Nick is one of a pair. Mel his beautiful and talented wife was, we soon discovered, watching us from other part of the museum where she was stuck behind a short wall. It was my good fortune that the two decided to take a day trip up to visit. Heck they only live some 11, 12 hours away. Let me tell you they are very special.
I got to see a lot of interesting exhibits as we wandered the museum, but the greatest gift for me was to share time with friends that I have grown to love. They bring such caring and open sharing when they are visiting. Every visit is like a homecoming. The laughter is genuine, such friendships are treasured.
Possessions can be acquired, They can be enjoyed and cared for, but having good friends, and time spent in warm, comforting camaraderie. That is a blessing. It was a wonderful visit, I thank them both.
PL calendar day 7 Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy
When you are doing something, you may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead, relax and enjoy he process.
I can only imagine how as the friendship grows, we will appreciate even more our differences, and our sameness.
One of life’s lessons, to be practiced and lived – appreciate differences, everyone is unique, share with an open heart.

I travel far and near to find a tree, usually when I do find one that will chat with me, he lives with cousins near by who are also willing to spin a yarn or two.
Oh goodness me child, how nice of you to stop and visit. We can wait from dawn to dusk to be noticed, but find, we are old, and worn, so no one stops to visit anymore. They come with their dogs and walk right by, they head for open spaces.
Freddy down the way, will be glad of some company, he gets few tenants these days, not even the dogs that come this way, use us anymore to mark their way.
Down the bend, to the right, you will see a path beside Uncle John. The leaves are crisp you will enjoy the sound as they say thank you for your trust in accepting their guidance as you walk the unknown path.
Please come again, your shadow is growing taller, In a few months when you come again, we will be able to show you much more of our world. Then we will see your shadow in the snow. till then, your shadow imprint, will remain for a while, leaving us smiling, because you shared with us.
Just me and my shadow, enjoying the morning sun. There are a lot of roads out there, this one I will visit again. I enjoy and appreciate visiting with Nature. It is pure, it is real.

Bonjour, Bom dia, greetings, Sunday 4th. November
Words are wonderful, words can do so much, however, as I wrote about my adventure to and from Montreal the other day, my thoughts were in colours. Try as I might, I wanted somehow to express the emotions of colours in a more tangible way. I have a canvas on the go too, but am not ready to show you yet. I am on stage 3 or 4 with this book cover. This will be my November December art journal, or Junk journal, whatever, which ever it is a book I will use to play “art” in.
That means that I will play with it, use it, daily or when the time is there for me, to interact with it.. and allow it to become. =^_^=
When we love what we do, or are doing, it may have its “opportunities” but we will creatively enjoy each step of the way, learning all the way.
PL calendar day 4 Enthusiasm will make things interesting
When you put your whole heart into what you are doing, you will begin to notice many important details and your creativity will blossom.
