pause, go back!

another traveler along the trail yesterday

When you get stuck, go back to the beginning … Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm. (PL2012.04)

I don’t know if this is an old soul I’ve met in years past, but every once in awhile, there is/are turtles walking the trail(s) where they come across long legged creatures like myself. Wonder what they think of us. Check out this critters back claws.

Rather than thinking “I have to ….” Think ..”OK, Let’s do this!” When you procrastinate and put things off until later, you will make things harder than they need to be. Get up and do it now. (2020.31)

another day begins

Good morning everyone, today being Thursday I’m sharing a couple of doorways that I found along the St Lawrence (the river between Canada and the USA) It was a beautiful day for a drive .. a friend and i had an “outing” … there is a food stop along the hwy that runs along the river to Cornwall. It was a lovely day for a drive. the hamburgers are actually made with real meat patties,,, the fries are delicious. everything is made fresh on the spot, Rather than just sit and visit, we explored and enjoyed the beautiful day, Bonus,, I found some great welcoming doors.

Today’s quote..

New Encounters can help you change, Be up for anything even if its out of your comfort zone This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being, (PL 2020.30)

Being Thursday, if you would like to visit more doors .. please visit Dan’s No Facilities site.. where other “door/architecture” lovers will post on Thursday Doors. https://nofacilities.com/2024/05/27/memorial-walk-tdwc/

For those who have asked for the last post on my virtual post site… This is the link https://virtualnws8.ca/

Update .. my car came back to me yesterday, it was detailed and repaired, it looks factory new. Smells like a new car The dealer (Surgenor GM Ottawa ) did an amazing job of repairing it and getting it back to me as soon as possible. Their customer service team goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after a client’s needs. We all hear the advertisements, but this is a team that provides and excels at looking after their customers.. remember how they helped when my car rebelled on me when I was out in the woods…

The Service Advisor who looks after my car when it goes in, for regular maintenance and other required services is excellent at what he does, And it is not just him, it was so busy when my car had its breakdown, a member of the mgmt. team gave of his time to help out. No wonder everyone who uses Surgenor has only praise for the service they provide Whether it was the car jockey or one of the mechanics they are tops! The critters did the car in, chewing wires and whatever else they could get at.. but the staff at Surgenor saved the day! Kevin (service advisor) thank you.. you wore your super hero cape again!

There you have it.. my post for today, now I’m going to go and drive my all cleaned up and road ready Buick!

I have seen a lot of robins of late… they are busy picking out worms.. the red wing blackbirds had a new friend hanging out with them yesterday.

my attempt at wood burning… on the left is a sculpture in mixed media (garden elf) done for the outside,

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook. If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

The elf lasted almost 20 years outdoors in the elements, the wood burning barn, I have no idea where it is now. Life is…
