looking for birds
Trekking through an area of land that until very recently was unknown to me, it is only some 15 minutes from me.. Yes I’ve been driving by for years, and never knew his gem existed. Took a serious world ” happening” to get me to actually get out of my car and explore the area. Also.. to give credit where it is due, it took my dog taking off on me out of the car .. and heading down one of the trails with an urgent need to explore.
I took him back there today, but on a leash. He was not impressed. The little missy, balked at going out, so .. guess what.. she got left at home. Too bad so sad, was not going to insist. When Velcro and I came home, we were both full of the most wonderful tantalizing smells. Don’t know how they communicate, but they certainly seemed to be having a good exchange of information ..
About the birds, I saw flashes of colour here and there, and birds darting from one tree to another.. but was unable to get one to light long enough for me to grab a picture. What I can tell you is that right now the woods are filled with the chirping and singing of the many species that are taking temporary accommodation in the area as they migrate through Ontario.
Life is really an adventure, some chapters are easy reading, and others are jam packed with excitement, tension, and the unknown.. Whatever chapter you are in, you have to know.. that the next page will bring something new into your awareness, it will be forever unfolding.
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.

when two hearts collide
I have a dear friend who also has a blog, and who as a writer helps other writers by giving them a picture and asking them to write a story around what they see. Going through pictures for one of my other blogs, I came across this picture.. It spoke to me of so many possibilities that I thought I would try it out on this blog.
Who are these men, what is the storyline here. The postures, the looks, what do they tell you. Mollie you inspired this.. what do you see? Can you feel the emotions, what is happening here, or could be happening.
I look forward to some input here. I think I know where I would go with this story line, but… I’m going to stand aside and let you dear reader, tell me.
Today’s calendar said ‘Good or Bad, It is your Mirror.”
the 25th day, says.. “Let’s find the joy in Everything” Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.
Each personality is an individual, each with a heart, feelings and emotions that belong to them and them alone, … in life… we are all a continuation of Nature’s Energy field. What happens when two force fields collide?
Stay safe.. stay strong… be happy!

Good or Bad
Sincere expression invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble. (Perfect Liberty 2020.24)
Another day, another adventure. What will you discover today, whatever you do or say, make it count… Happy is the flavour of the day.

Don’t give up
Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that’s the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

Listening is not the same as hearing. You can hear something and tho’ you hear it, it is only sounds.. You are not LISTENING. Listening involves not only audio but movement. When someone listens, they are focused on the words, pauses and spaces. They have gone beyond hearing.
I am in the process of learning to listen more and talk less. OK. admits that works only some time…..but truly, we do need to listen to one another more. Learn not to talk at... but rather speak or try to express clearly to another what our intent is.
example… if I want someone to please me.. I first have to know what it is that pleases me.
Communicate today, include a smile. they work wonders.

things don’t always go as planned. When, that happens, try changing how you look a the situation or how you are doing things.
The outcome is in your hands.

maintain harmony
do you know Yoda, are you familiar with his philosophy.
A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate… hate leads to suffering.”
Yoda
Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
Yoda, The empire strikes back
How has the last month been for you? Are you the same person you were, or do you feel that you have changed? How long have you been in a “changed” environment, or had your daily routine drastically edited, so that now, you are faced with the daily challenge of “living in the present”..
It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important. Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.

driving in the rain
all around you is the soft tapping as the rain falls against the car.
It was wonderful… a natural healing lullaby
just the ambiance I needed.
When you think “I’ve got it” think again. It is easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusion. always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

Love doesn’t drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.

being thankful
Be thankful to your parents and to your ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. Always remember to be thankful.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Khalil Gibran
