How did you ring in the new year? Was it a big event for you? What does it mean to you? Has it or does it make a big impact on your life? I ask out of curiosity, in my world the moving into a new year, is a very personal and exciting time, not so much because it is a reason to celebrate and party, but because it is a milestone, one I can reflect on, and review all the goodness and positives that have enriched my life. I get to share the solar calendar with friends, and then later, the welcoming of the new lunar year.

When my Dad was alive, he would take me to big events, where there was always a dragon dance, with firecrackers, and the smell of incense filled the air along with the smoke from the fire crackers. We would go down to Chinatown, and he’d hoist me up so I could see the Dragon dancers make their way along the street .. merchants would stand in front of their shops… welcoming the dragon… there would be fresh oranges and rice on the small shop alters.. welcoming the new year spirits …. encouraging the dragon to bestow good fortune on their businesses, and good health and happiness to their families.

When my Dad passed the old traditions died with him… In my maturity, I have kept many of the old ways, the cleaning out of the “old” to make way for the “new”. I begin in late fall, meditating and reviewing what “life” is like for me.. Thinking of how I feel, what is happening with me, physically and intellectually. The biggie is…. is my life filled with contentment, am I happy. I am pleased that for the most part, yes … I am a happy person.. and.. I know contentment. Sure I get upset, and yes I have moments, but they are short lived, because, I like and prefer to be happy. We are all blessed with opportunities in life, I strive for and enjoy, quiet, serene, and tranquility. Simplicity.

Always express your true self with honesty and integrity

We feel a deep sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.

Happy new year to everyone, may your lives be blessed/enriched with love that is true, good health, prosperity and happiness,

Talent

There comes a time when we have to acknowledge that there are talented individuals out there.. Naria the vlogger/blogger who put together this video of a holiday show that was presented in Second Life for the holidays, is an “influencer” who helps showcase the many individuals in the virtual world who work behind the scenes to entertain and bring happiness and smiles to everyone… Not just the communities within Second Life, but to everyone!

Every avatar you see is a “person” who has spent hours not only developing their online personalities, but working together to put together this musical. The set designers, the costume makers, the makeup artist… No one person does it alone..

So it is in our everyday world. Please everyone..

Let’s find the good in others and praise them

All people have good qualities and bad qualities, Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.

Ever feel like you are on a ride that just keeps going around and around… you’re moving but not going anywhere…

Enjoy the moment while you wait

Things come about when they are meant to happen. Think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome. When you are not having fun, could it be because you are being lazy? Sometimes we feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

Till soon!

Experience the joy of being kind to others

The joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. Always strive to be a person who can be kind to others.

Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others, Always be true to yourself in your words and actions. Strive to make others happy with a sincere heart.

When autumn leaves begin to fall there is a lot of raking up to do. It never ceases to amaze me that when they fall, they don’t get up… nor do they do blow away. They just wait to be picked up. One year I raked them towards the trees and thought to leave them to mulch.. good idea, but it doesn’t happen that way… in the spring, I was left with a real wet mess to clean up. I have been dutifully doing a bag here and a bag there.. but just as I think I have cleared a good portion…. another batch falls from above. The maple has pretty much done its shedding, but the magnolia is still waving its leaves taunting me… c’est la vie… it will happen when it happens. (.. the leaves are so dry they crinkle and crackle when picked up.. notice that crisp smell they can emit. !! . now that is a pleasant surprise when you get a whiff ! )

There will always be a way

If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before. ^(PL2020.28)

Have a great start to the week everyone.

btw. pumpkin is a great veggie and so abundant at this time of year.

Hear the roar as the water rushes by…. in life…. time slips away … we don’t even notice…. but… one minute you are starting the day… and before you know it… the day has come to an end.

The colours right now are magnificent. I took part of yesterday to drive along country roads that were bordered by the trees that are alive with their fall wardrobe. Living in a part of the world where we are blessed with 4 distinct seasons, is pure JOY.

Let’s put our whole heart into everything we do, even if it’s something as simple as pushing a button.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone…
