Sharing with makoto (sincerity)

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

Mindfulness is a journey. be patient and self compassionate.

It is important to let go of self judgement and practice going with the flow.. When we begin practicing “being aware” we can get caught up in “doing it right”… it is only when we let go of actually trying to do it right… and let the experience be based on … letting go… that we begin to notice the mind begin to slow down and “settle”. Notice and observe! we are strengthening our minds.

You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task. With a can do attitude you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration.

Snow

You know its a good day when the snow plow is following you. =^_^= Yes, I still make the trek out to the country. Weather is not a deterrent. In fact, it makes for a new canvas and offers the opportunity of a different experience.

Today was a brilliant blue sky …. another awesome day!

Your smile!

Thought we could all use a sunny moment!

Your smile is what’s needed. A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

winter 12.24

Sarsaparilla Trail, cold and quiet this morning, came across another photographer who was intent on trying to get a Pileated woodpecker that simply was not interested in being distracted.

I was looking for a picture to use for a holiday greeting…. I was so enthralled with my walk through the forest, that his red head will do for the holiday colour. After all, the blessing of the day will be my trip into the woodland, the peace and quiet that I found there.

Someone has shared/his/her talent with everyone, and put a homemade food “hut” out so that the seed will stay dry during our often wet/cold/freezing rain/snow and ice that comes to us over the winter.

May the spirit of the season, bring many hours of joy and happiness to you and your loved ones. Stay warm and dry. Be safe! Blessings of the season!

[Laziness] No matter how hardworking you are, you can call yourself lazy if you put off doing what you have to do because it’s troublesome or put off doing what you like first. What remains after being lazy such as “later…” is a pile of difficult problems that make you mentally tired every day. Isn’t it piled up with difficult problems? Let’s make each one interesting and enjoyable. Perfect Liberty 2021.12.24 (translated in Japan to English.)

With one thought, “the world” will change, changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.

Santa?

Recently went looking for Santa, in days of “old” at this time of year, people were searching out Christmas cheer. Merchants had their shops brimming with decorations and seasonal goodies, Xmas parades were happening, social get togethers were planned, even the church basements were being decorated for members to enjoy when they gathered for coffee and cake (social hour)

In touring around, I see or saw little of this merriment that once would just have been part of the day. Yes there are homes with decorations, and some of the stores have put up holiday decorations, but I’m not feeling the vibe. “Jolly Santa” and his crew of woodland creatures and elves seem to have faded into “never never land”

Instead of the spirit of the holidays being shared and delighted in, if you turn on the radio or watch the telly, the air is blue, gray and black. Yes there are patches of magic here and there, but it is not everywhere.

A little fantasy is good for everyone.. let’s try to recapture some of the magic of the holidays, in spite of what “some’ would have us think and do.

Make Today a different day. Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.

Day 4, December

Deck the halls and bring out the holly, everyone is so jolly and bright, especially when they think of the coming holidays and how wonderful it will be to visit and celebrate with friends and family. No matter the reason, this is a time when there is a lot of social “happenings’ Keep in mind that not everyone is in a position to celebrate, or can. More than ever we need to be aware of the world around us.

Energy springs from your smile. A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

a joyful morning

Guess who got out into the woods today… It was on the cool side, the water had a layer of ice on the top, snow lay in some areas, the chill was present. No matter, I loved it.

Do things joyfully. Instead of taking it easy. Enthusiastically engage with what’s in front of you. You’ll enjoy it more.
