Sunday

a wee owl resting in the trees.

The picture has been cropped so that the location of the wee one is not easily determined. Yes I am one of the nature lovers who protects the wild life .. from onlookers who come and destroy the peace and tranquility of the woodlands …. it is unfortunate, but I have seen too many scenes of mobs who treat the wee ones like a sideshow.

Good morning everyone..

You gain strength through your hardships

Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.

PL2014.29

Please pray for world peace. These are troubled times.

Express straight away once you’ve found it..”Great”

Proactively express about others goodness. It feels great to be told so, even about things you already know.

A beautiful sun filled day, the skies a brilliant blue – it was an amazing moment in time.

It was a clear day, and I was lucky enough to have the miles of forest to myself. Well almost, I had all the woodland critters with me. ^_^

Handle things that come your way one by one

Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently this way.

Tuesday

Green is the colour for today – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective

The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

lundi

Listening to the pouring rain. The fire is crackling and blazing in the fireplace, there isn’t another person home, just the cats who are somewhere enjoying the quiet of the day.. Taking time to rest to just listen to our thoughts is a pass time that many of us put off. I am guilty of it myself. I am tempted by the photographic possibilities in a virtual world…or caught up listening to my lessons .. reviewing incoming mail. there is always “something” that catches my attention.

Yesterday, I had a “chat” with my nephew who is gathering information to do a “chart” of our family “histories”… I know some of you have been doing similar research, going back over family photos, gathering stories of the past moments in your family history. It seems like in today’s world (according to my nephew) it is somewhat simpler. He was able to (with a few clicks) show me a map of where my grandparents came from in China. The exact location on the map, so I could actually see the province in China and the little town near the coast where my father’s family came from. I could see how far it was from Taiwan, and picture them travelling from China to Canada way back when.

I sometimes get very annoyed at the constant barrage of information and images that constantly appear on my screen when I’m trying to do something else. But yesterday I was grateful and thankful for the technology we have today. Reminded me again, that there is always a positive to something that can be so negative at times.

“Time is more valuable than money because time is irreplaceable” (God’s little devotional book)

Appreciate each person’s good points.

Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in others so that we can get along. (PL2015.16)

Have a good start to a new week!

I know I will be asked, let me give you the LM to the location I visited in SL (Second Life) The ambience is lovely, the sound of pouring rain is restful… http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Silent%20Melody%202/224/114/2520 /silent Melody is a lovely relaxing setting … rain
patters against the windows. Each corner reveals a hidden nook, a tranquil spot to sit and savor the peace to silent melodies, as the world outside fades into a distant murmur.

Friday the 13th.

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.

Monday

With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do.

The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift not a right.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we carry nothing out. (1.Timothy 6:6.7)

samedi

Hello? What have we here? Anyone home?

Do you ever get that feeling, that you are not alone…

Yet you see no one close by, but still, there is that feeling of being “seen”

Good Morning, it’s Saturday…. Hopefully you have had a quiet productive and happy week. This is the week-end where our time changes, Reminder to change your clocks tonight if the time change applies to you.

Think “now is the time” instead of “its no use now.”

Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

Active listening

Giving your whole attention to a conversation without anticipating your response. With practice you can learn to push distracting thoughts aside, and really, focus on what’s being said in the moment.

Today (actually yesterday now) I drove to Montreal’s West Island and back, did it all in half a day, I find that driving along a highway with nothing but a straight road ahead, and one disappearing in my rear view mirror, relaxing. It was a spur of the moment decision, I had been going to go, changed my mind, realizing I had a full afternoon and evening. But on waking I saw on my calendar that the city was working in the area, and I would have no water … it was being turned off .. 8 – 4 … ugh.

The day being bright, skies clear, I decided to hit the road, the gem/mineral show is on all week-end, but I knew the week-end would be a zoo. I went for many miles with no radio on… I wanted the quiet. The car is my personal space… a place where I can lock myself in and just BE. No distractions unless I want them.

There is something soothing about driving in silence. There were few cars /trucks on the road.. I didn’t question it, I enjoyed it. I took the 417 (super highway) going down, and on the way back, veered off and came by way of Hawksbury. A secondary road that goes through small communities.

My objective was to attend a warehouse sale of earth treasures, crystals, minerals, fossils and one of a kind treasures .. This vendor specializes in high quality specimens, he travels all over the world, his inventory is wonderful to experience.

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Specific mindfulness exercise can help you ease your mind and improve your every day.

Wandering down aisles of crystals, minerals from all over the world, unique fossils .. feeling the vibe from “mother earth” was “grounding”

The “Universe” will support you if you put your full makoto (sincerity) into what you do.

Have a good day everyone!
