honesty

If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful. Cheerful and happy people attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude,.

In the beginning love holds so much promise. It takes work and dedication for a relationship to flourish. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts. It doesn’t help to over think situations … be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Be true to yourself. but be aware of how others feel, be open to listening to another’s thoughts…. be willing to discuss, and consider all options.

Feelings

Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming, but, we can choose which ones to surf

Always live with hope in your heart.

With a clear image in mind, move forward with enthusiasm. Your dreams will surely come true with perseverance.

Back road to simplicity and charm. Best of all… no snow.

I remember many years back, living in BC, we took a trip into the mountains… my husband at the time was an avid outdoors person. He had booked a rustic weekend,, the overnight was in a log cabin such as the one shown above, only it was in some remote location and totally a surprise to me… we required our own linen, the stove to cook on was wood, and the loo was a walk into the woods to an outhouse. Those of you who have known me for a long time .. know what my reaction would have been. The activity of the day, was fishing on a crystal clear lake from a row boat. the dog loved it.

Live today filled with enthusiasm

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Time and our past make up the pieces of who we are today. Today I would rejoice at reliving that moment in time. I squandered that opportunity,

Take on any task with earnest enthusiasm and it will become interesting.

No matter what it is, if you really get into it, you will be able to find joy in doing it. The important point is to put your whole heart into what you are doing.

Snow

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.

Ottawa is in for another snow storm, hello. another one, yes! and, it will only be the appetizer, mid week it seems a bigger one will arrive. Keep the snow shoes and skiis ready!

remember

Listening to music, while the rest of the world went about its business, you could enjoy quiet time with your favourite furry… be lazy… and simply drift into a musical reverie. Last night I realized that it is something I don’t do enough of. Somewhere along the way, I allowed my activities to overtake my ME time. It happens. On Friday there was an Etta James night at one of the clubs I sometimes go to, it was a blues night, she ( friend who Djs at the club) was playing a lot of “old” blues. A lot of the music brought back memories of another time. Put me in a reflective mood.

Last night I was enjoying a plate of big freshly steamed shrimps (butter garlic sauce) dipped in a spicy Eda dip, with a side plate of cold ginger pork dumplings, and a topping of sliced roasted chicken c/w tasty skin. (Eda-yummy is a spicy kale edamame dip) when I realized that I don’t indulge as often as I used to.

The new year (lunar) is fast approaching, the custom has always been to begin in the months of the outgoing year, to sweep away old cobwebs and prepare for new beginnings. This year I think I would like to rejig my thought process and start reintegrating more quality Me time. I don’t mean spending more time alone, I can do that anytime, I mean revisit activities and “hobbies” that give me pleasure and add to a rather routine existence.

For those who began the new year Jan.1.2025.. how has your year been so far, notice much difference?

I have long known it is not the quantity of times you do something, it is the quality of the interactions and time you spend in your day/night. In the last many years I have been working along side someone who is a musician and plays a lot of instrumentals, (no words). I have learned to “hear” and enjoy music in a different way because the music itself allows MY thoughts/words to be part of the experience. Not a song with words painting the “storyline” for me. Make sense? any comments/input?

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.

Think a moment, do you listen to music as a habit, is it inspiring, what role does music play in your life. if anything?

Have a great start to the week everyone!

The best timing to take action is when you notice it

When you take note of something, it is a signal from the Universe, that you should take care of it right away.

This is the “cold” season, have you tried brown rice roasted tea? If you are already a fan, try making it with fresh ginger…. (for the brave, crushed garlic (fresh) helps with coughing.) I am going to make a carrot, spinach smoothing heavy on the ginger, garlic and celery. (I’m adding beets)

Stay warm.

Wednesday

Sometimes… we just want to ignore the world around us. Why not? Were you told when you were younger that sleeping all the time wasn’t good for you.. “the early bird, catches the worm” or to stop being so lazy!

Rediscover your “inner calm” your “quiet”. Quincy is very good at showing me “how” to reclaim my inner quiet. We forget, we plan, schedule, make arrangements to do this, that, and something else, sleep is something that our “body” needs. Our minds travel at speeds unknown to man… there is a constant chatter and bombardment of “sound(s)” .

Turn it off. All of it! Can you do it?

There was an owl sighting recently, a quiet country road became a parking lot. The poor creature was stalked, hawked at, and surrounded by the chatter and movement of humans all clamoring for a look.

Imagine your tired after a long day, you’ve had to soar the skies looking for your next meal. finally come the end of your day, you find a quiet place to rest your weary wings….. and what happens, you find you have a camera in your face, not one, dozens, flash bulbs going off, excited chatter .. car sounds, human sounds, they just won’t leave you alone, you fly off to another tree hoping for some quiet… awwww. your head falls, your eyes close, there is a gentle wind… AND … oh no.. they have found you again, is there no peace and quiet, what have you done to deserve this.

The owls plight is yours. your mind is kept so busy all the time, when suddenly your body and inner self want to rest…. the onlookers the curious, the unwanted intrusions keep happening. Time to evaluate just how much of the “outside” you let in. Time to put your SELF first. Has your creativity become repetitive, do you need a “break”. You are the master/mistress of your destiny…. There are ways to reconnect with YOU.

First you have to decide, enough is enough, and YOU and only YOU can make the changes needed to find your way back to “home”… Home=contentment… home is not a physical structure, home is where your “heart” is.

Be in tune with the feelings of others – Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples feelings. AND most importantly our own.

PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror

Follow Quincy’s lead… slow down, be gentle with yourself and others, and take a lot of mini naps, (quiet moments)
