Harmony leads to world peace
It is important to live in harmony with our surroundings. The basis of a peaceful society is to maintain harmonious relationships.

cosy & warm
Let’s sit by the fire where it is cosy and warm. We can listen to the crackling and popping as we watch the flames dance merrily in joyful harmony along the burning logs. Everyone is so busy, running here and there, getting ready for one last fling in 2024. In contrast I want to mellow out and ease gracefully towards the new adventures that await me. 2024 has been a wonderful year, I am blessed with love and friendships that grow richer with each passing moment … It is with heartfelt gratitude that I wish you all the very best in the coming days, months.. Thank you for your participation in this “community” I enjoy your input, your blogs, photos, music, life is good when we can share it’s bounty with friends.
The world will change when you look at things in a positive light
Everything we encounter is an opportunity for us to express ourselves. What we choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you/us. We cannot always avoid “situations” but we have control on how we react to them, or let them impact on us ….

Feliz Ano Novo! Bonne Annee! Happy New Year! Akemashite omedetou!

waiting
I didn’t see her at first… she stood so still…
Once I caught the glimpse of her waiting patiently, I couldn’t “not” see her
My first intention was to just grab a picture … then I thought I’d clean it up, take away the tree she stood behind. In the spring when the tree begins to leaf out, she will be hidden from view again. I might still do that, meanwhile, I wanted to share her… She obviously has been there for some time. I wonder at the stories she could tell.
Awww … someday… I’ll stop and …. Another mystery to unravel when time and inclination strike again…
Today Monday the 30th. there is one day left in the year 2024. Are you ready for a new year, another 365 days of adventures, new opportunities, new friends…
Use your results to make the next time even better
Whether “things” turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the next time.

TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN
My thought as I drifted off to sleep –
Solitude offers stillness of one’s own being.
The joy of/in simple pleasures
Happy week-end everyone.
Blessings
Make today a memorable day!
Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do as our unique signature.

We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.
Buddha
Leave the past in the past. What is important is what you are going to do now. Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

shortest day!
Not only will it be the shortest day of the year.. weather is predicted to be 7 degrees colder than yesterday. Bundle up! enjoy the crispness in the air… have a joy filled day! Why? because you deserve it!
A thankful person will grow as an individual
When you are able to have a thankful attitude, you will be blessed with good intuition and more enthusiasm, which will continue to move things in a positive direction.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.
Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.

Wednesday
Always remember to be thankful and humble – everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. We are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down.
You create your reality when you begin each day in meditation/prayer
Every experience is a journey and brings awareness.
Have a good day everyone! till soon.
