blessings

I have been reminded lately of how with the passing of the seasons, there is also a change in our daily lives. Some are slow and gradual, while others come up suddenly and take us by surprise. Either way, they are happenings that we cannot divert from our lives. Challenges, opportunities, they come in all shapes and sizes.

This month there have been many beautiful, loved souls who have passed on from this world we live in to an eternal existence that leaves us with cherished memories of what was. I would ask today that we take a moment in quiet prayer. Let’s give thanks that we were so blessed in having been able to know/learn/grow from our connection to these beautiful souls.

In your prayer please include all the members in our community (near and far) and around us who are dealing with issues beyond their control, help ease someone’s pain. take time today to listen with an open heart, make time to reach out and call someone who lives alone or could be in “need” of a “friend”,

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Obrigado/a

Handle things that come your way one by one, Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently that way,

Saying thank you.. obrigado/a… for everything… is a “feel good” moment.

Roses in Dec.

From my sister’s garden yesterday, Nice to see at this time of year, weather must be good where she is. I could send her a few pictures of the cold wet tree limbs and snow covered paths, hmm maybe I’ll wait for a sunny day. or a picture of the little scarf and hoodie I’m knitting for the black squirrel… nah will save that for when she sends me the beautiful photos of the hand stitched quilt she is putting together. =^_^=

Applaud the Makoto of others, When you encounter good faith or kindness in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully. This will make both you and them happy. (Makoto: One’s utmost sincerity)

Have a great day everyone! Bom dia a todos!

PL Precept # 15  All is a mirror

If you force your values about anything on others, it can be self righteous Don’t be overeager and have a sense of “others are others, I am I.”

Take a moment today for “silence”…the “rush” of the season, the constant bombardment of “noise” from all directions, good/bad… constant energy whirling through your personal “sphere” … … … ahhhhh take that deep breath… smile as you close your eyes and drink in a moment of “pure YOU”.. just for a second, close your eyes.. take a deep breath.. hold it… then smiling… slowly let it out… ahhhhh…. all done… smiles at you.. didn’t hurt now did it. You just had mini break. Still smiling… pass it on.

How quickly things can change, with the rain and mild evening we had, I wonder what the scene will be when I arrive this morning. From -14 temperatures the other day, to in the 40’s today. The above pictures I took yesterday morning. The sugar coated trees and forest floor were magical.

Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

December is a month of many celebrations… It is a wonderful time to share and enjoy the diversity of the world we live in.

Perception is important Take immediate action once you suddenly perceive. You might discover something important in what you perceive.

I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of the beauty that Nature provides us with in any season. Today there were many pictures of cardinals and blue jays against the snowy background that is now our backdrop till sometime in early next year. Local birders and nature photographers have been enjoying the flash of colour against the fresh fallen snow …

Seasons come and go, but always, you will be in the NOW. Make each moment count, enjoy today .. it won’t happen again.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstanding.

Bom dia!

Nope, didn’t work, saying good morning in Brazilian Portuguese didn’t work, the snow is still happening outside my window,, NOTE. if you are out today the ice storm yesterday took down some of the weaker trees. P22 Mer Bleu has a tree preventing your exit from the parking area. I did report it yesterday morning, but the maintenance crew might not have gotten to it yet. BE CAREFUL unless you know that area of road if you back up to turn around, there is a steep incline on the right (Passenger’s side). You need to avoid the area and go back via the one way around the circle,. AND that is tricky if another car is coming in. Please take care.

Trees snap and break when we have heavy wet snow and ice pellets followed by more freezing rain, that is just what a Canadian winter can be like. We were lucky, power lines were not affected.

How are you doing Sunshine and balmy winds where you are? Life is good. Mother Nature has many forms of expression. Today is another day. Let go of yesterday and start fresh

It is interesting because it is difficult. In order to overcome difficulties in your life, you need to think hard and be creative. That is why life is always interesting.

In life we hurry, from place to place, task to task, cross another item off the to do list. We are in constant, “moving” mode. Sometimes in life we NEED to slow down, we NEED that moment of QUIET. Have you had yours today.

At first glance the old buildings used disused, empty, but when I stopped to actually look, I saw that indeed there was life, the place was being enjoyed, Being in the NOW is what will keep you grounded.

Experience the joy of change. It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year or today compared to yesterday and realize how much you have improved and changed. PL 2016.30

See the 2nd from the left, last row. That is the Li Ho Restaurant, it was a rocking juke box dance hall at one time, I won my first jitterbug/jive contests there a “few” moons ago. Smiles.. time was.. memories are always interesting,…. Now driving into an empty parking lot ..not another car insight, just the birds watching from the trees and the squirrels scampering to be first to greet me .. that.. is powerful. When the Ravens call down, even more thrilling.

Look at this bird, can you dig his/her haircut.. I was gob smacked when Michel posted this first picture, then I saw his two follow up pictures and knew I wanted to share this bird with you. Doesn’t she look like a Gertrude or maybe Harvey! Absolutely darling. You can find more of Michel Lanthier’s photos on FB https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79. He’d friended a fox, there are some great pictures of this little sweetheart on his photo pages.

I get asked why I go out everyday.. the answer is simple, I find much joy in sharing time with the wildlife, and in the nature they live in, It is in being out in the “world” that I get to experience and meet like minded “souls”… Thanksgiving is always a reminder that we have so much to be grateful, to the photographers who stand/wander in all kinds of weather, to share with us their “bounty” I send heartfelt gratitude…

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.

Accept everything with appreciation. Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them. A person who is always thankful is a happy person.
