lundi

Good Morning everyone. The other day, (yesterday) I gave in to the loud messages I was getting from my body. I felt like the relic you see above. I needed to board up my windows, (close the blinds/curtains) lock the doors and go to bed… my pumps, were not working. I had to face the facts… I was in no shape to navigate the world. In fact, over the last few days I sensed I wasn’t functioning on all cylinders, but you know how it is…Sometimes, even when the body sends hints, we don’t hear them, or if we do.. we ignore them .. because we are “busy”. MY inner voice, had enough of my nonsense… it contacted nerve central and opened the drawer with the neuropathy file in it.. Pain, searing instant jabbing pain got my immediate attention. Took less than 48 hours to have me take to my bed.. and stay there.

Suffice to say, I feel more “human” today, but I will pace myself. (should I bold that statement..?) We did get the snow, rain, ice etc. fortunately it didn’t hit us as hard as predicted. (in my area)… This is the start of a new week. Let’s move forward with a positive attitude. (state of mind)

/Be True to yourself/

No matter how you try to make yourself appear differently you can’t alter your self worth. Just be yourself, and freely express yourself without hesitation.

I was well taken care of by Quincy and Quinn.. both were great ..Quincy slept with me, while Quinn took a nap and didn’t tear the house apart. (she is still a little terror, drags drops, yowls at invisible attackers… tell me again, how old does she have to get before she settles down?)

como vai?

Skies are blue, clouds are big and puffy. spring is in the air.. the season is changing… pollen is mixed with mould, it looks clean and fresh… BUT be aware, with the thawing of all that snow we had over the winter, the birds may be happily nesting … singing up a storm… but for the human with allergies… stock up on tissues. It will be a challenging few weeks till the ground warms up …

Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

a memory

of a gentler time. Yes there were none (or few) of the electronics we have today. Life often involved a lot of time outdoors, hard work, and a dedication to planting, and eating food that was locally grown. I have been eating local meat organically grown, grass fed etc. what a difference in taste and texture !!!

Put your effort into the “now” You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but now.

attitude

It is important to take time for relaxation, to just be able to sit back and share time with a friend that doesn’t involve going somewhere, doing something where there are tons of people and a lot of ‘busy” activities. No deadline, no need to be any place special, just time to chill and catch up ..

Be easy going and live your life cheerfully and flexibly.

Strong emotions can be the cause of various troubles. Always strive to have a cheerful and calm state of mind.

Wishing you the best of everything… have a great day!

Thursday

The snow is melting, yesterday I took the shovel to the big dump of snow on my deck it had been almost shoulder high, … the milder temperatures had me facing a pile of snow only about knee deep. I did clear some, I was (smart) enough to stop when I got tired. If it is mild again today and there is a bit of rain, it should rid me of what is left on the deck. I can put out my lay back and sun chair. Early spring is the best… too cool for most to be out, but I love it, especially when the sun is out. Yesterday my companion was the male cardinal, he was singing away… he is a romantic, he courts his female.=^_^=

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.

Happy first day of Spring.

today

What is it about today’s world. How come we are always taking selfies?

Why would one need a selfie when getting out of the tub? In fact what is the fascination with taking pictures of what we are doing, should we not be out living our lives.. interacting with other people, catching up with friends, making new friends?

I got a message the other day about storage, I realized that I had zillions of pictures… like really.. how many times do I need to see a picture of a tree, and is that the same squirrel I captured with my camera the other day… was I really going to pay to store more pictures that I may or may not ever look at again.???

Really world, time to focus on living what is left of my life. I realize that out of thousands of pictures .. only a few are really important to me.. the rest are an accumulation of moments, that I lived.. and today, this actual moment is the moment I have to deal with NOW. I am going to make a serious attempt to clear out the non essential “stuff”…

How about you? How are you doing today? Have you done something new? Are you planning something or working on something that is exciting for you? Quincy (elder cat) is wanting me to get on with this so I can finish feeding he and Quinn … She has settled in and is now letting us all know.. she is here to stay… by far, she has the loudest purr I’ve ever heard.

Yesterday I put my chair out in the middle of a clump of snow cuz that is where the sun was shining the strongest… and just sat with my eyes closed enjoying the rays… I put on my sound identifier (birds) in ten minutes it had recorded over a dozen birds who serenaded my stolen moments. It was so peaceful, I didn’t want the radio on in the car when I started my drive home.

Please slow down .. make time for YOU … get out and enjoy the world as it unfolds a new season for us to experience ..

If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it. Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

fyi. some of the conservation areas are now barred (closed) overnight. Unfortunately the grounds are being used late evenings by people with no respect for property and the wildlife.

A quiet time .. time to regroup, refresh, we need “ME” time.. to digest and organize our thoughts. A time to reflect on all the GOOD, the POSITIVES in our lives, we do have them, it is unfortunate that often we allow ourselves to get caught up in negative energy. The scrambled and chaotic energy seems to be all around us. It is our choice .. and ours alone .. on how we accept and deal with challenges/opportunities that come our way.

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.

You will feel better when you take immediate action

Things have a way of getting more complicated when you procrastinate. Work on taking immediate action and you will discover many ways to tackle the situation.

hello

Spring is in the air, the red wing blackbird was amongst the breakfast crowd yesterday morning, as well as the very vocal pileated woodpecker.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.

Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.
