TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN
My thought as I drifted off to sleep –
Solitude offers stillness of one’s own being.
The joy of/in simple pleasures
Happy week-end everyone.

A visit to the Sahara, Marrakech and a peek at Chefchaouen
With the white world around us at the moment, those wishing for a white Xmas this year, got their wish. And, with the deep freeze we had for a couple of days there is hope that the longest skating rink in the world will open this year. So saying, when these pictures came in from one of our “world” travellers.. I wanted to share.. the picture lower left … had me wondering why a carpet is rolled up against the outer door? Could it be there for prayers… I have other pictures to share of the blue doors found in that part of Africa… watch for them. Isn’t the brave little flower delightful. Hope you are all having a wonderful end of the year…
*** If you face a situation head on, a Path will open up ***
No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. Make today, a memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

There was a picture I saw of our “traveller” riding a camel across the desert. it “almost” had me calling CAA for travel arrangements.. then I remembered, cold or extreme heat.. I like cool and cold. the memory of that time in Japan during one of their “heat waves” flashed across my gray matter… I’ll continue to be an arm chair traveller… cheers everyone! See you on Dan’s page,, he is on hiatus till Jan.9.25.. but have a look. https://nofacilities.com/2024/12/26/just-in-case-3/#comment-377595
With determination we can achieve anything.
A health lifestyle means connecting with your body’s needs, moment my moment. Develop a kinder more loving attitude towards yourself.

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 other so that we can get along.
Peace begins within… Live authentically

The key to solving problems is within you
The problems that appear before you can surely be solved. Give it your best effort, and the answers will come to you as long as you remain strong in your conviction that all will turn out well.
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.

Interested in the Virtual blog.. have a look https://virtualnws8.ca/2024/12/12/holiday-greetings/
Picture was taken the other day during the fog/snow and rain at P22
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!

All the little reindeer are getting ready for their big haul coming up. They have to keep in shape, work their muscles, and keep their limbs flexible… build their stamina. We are being told to expect our first big snow drop…there were snow dustings yesterday. Time to put the sand and a shovel into the car, make sure the ice and snow scrapers are within reach. You ready?
When you get stuck, go back to the beginning
Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm.
For those of you following the car saga, Its back, however it is not finished, there is still a problem with the wi-fi system, I can get calls, but no one can hear me.. could be the speaker or another wire that is malfunctioning!… but it can’t go back in till the 10th. Not having it for over a week, means I have a lot of “catch up ” to do. Positive side. I will be unavailable while in my car /out on runs etc… just like in the good old days of landlines and no wi-fi in cars. Always look for the silver lining!!!!!!
Have a great day everyone, and IF you are in an area where the snow is coming or has come, please be prepared. Check your anti-freeze, the windshield washer fluids are they minus weather grade, do you have a shovel, sand/salt in the car if you travel outside the city a must ….. yup winter is here. In Canada winter tires are a necessity … NB* in some Provinces you will be ticketed or fined if you are travelling without them. Take heed. Be Prepared.

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. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts.

If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.

The joy of expression is in the process.
Of course results are important but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that can be found in the actual process. Face every task with whole hearted enthusiasm.
Approach everything optimistically without hesitating. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.
