Some furry scampered across the freshly fallen carpet of snow. Any ideas?
Make today, a “give back day!” Kindness to others , is the best way to give back.. Express your appreciation, smile, make eye contact when you see a friend. When you say, “how are you” wait, listen for the reply.
Don’t be capture by momentary troubles but continue doing everything with sincerity.(Makoto)

Think “now is the time” Instead of “it’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

Owl pic is a puzzle
These were taken yesterday, it was balmy, mind you I was bundled up with a very long coat, and Bogs* (boots that are made for Canadian winters, keep the feet warm to -058 degrees.) .. and layered “to the nines”. To do the Bog on days when the winds are whipping over the landscape, can be very refreshing. I enjoyed my walk, there was no one else around, There is something to be said about sitting on a bench in the middle of a snow covered Bog. The birds were huddled in the woods fluffed up, keeping warm. The one squirrel I saw was nuzzled in against a tree in the elbow of another branch. He had no interest in leaving the sheltered nook for a peanut.
When I got to the part of the Bog that leads back to terra firma, the wooden boardwalk that crosses over water, was snow covered, the winds had picked up enough that the dried stalks from the water plants .. whispered and sang as the spirited winds ran through them. Beautiful and serene.
The walk provided me with time for quiet reflection, any sadness was carried away by the breeze. Its cool caress as it gently brushed my cheeks, wiped the silent tears. Nature embraced me with the comfort I needed.
Your smile is what is needed
A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

Sometimes the struggles are real.
What is IS… and there is no going back, it simply IS what it is.
Flexibly adapt to changes, The world around you changes, and so do you. Enjoy the transformations and deal with them flexibly.

It is not the colour of the hair, or the clothes you wear, what is important is the quality of the time you share when in each other’s company.
Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serves to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself.
Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “that’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative. (PL2015.30,2022.30)

In the stillness of night hear the whisper your name echo and vibrate magically through the galaxy and beyond
Always you are loved beyond measure
I lived a lifetime
Pictures tell stories, yesterday, I took pictures.. the captions told of the energy around me. I named the file,
One with Nature..
The energy of the water cascading down over the rocks and cliffs
The quiet joy of being part of the world around me
No matter where I go, where I am, you are there with me.
Always you fill me with the balm of a love so pure and energizing, I know no other, but ONE.

Rejoicing in an early spring day. Soon, only a few months away! Trees will be sprouting their greenery again, and the cold and snow will be but a memory. Meanwhile, if you live here .. you can put on your skates and skate on the longest skating rink supposedly in the world. (The Rideau Canal)
There is always an adventure waiting, it is up to us to decide which “Path” we will take.
You are the result of your daily efforts
Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through.

Needle Felting anyone. When I saw this puzzle I wanted to run to my stash and reproduce it. Felting is such a relaxing and rewarding “hobby”. Then I thought it would be fun to stitch, my sister told me about a “new” pastime called “slow stitching” I think that is what she called it? Do you know? Does it inspire you?Is it the colours or the softness, it has dimension! depth! What do you see?
Open up opportunities by being proactive.
Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. Use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way.
Let’s pray for World Peace. We are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us. Live with a prayerful mind.
Have a great day everyone!

Winter, no matter the season, the outdoors, brings a quiet and a serenity that can’t be had anywhere else.
Always express yourself for the happiness of others as well as yourself.
The happiness of those around you can lead to your own happiness. cultivate a heart to always wish for the happiness of others.
