When something comes to mind, do it right away.

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…

Life is a sublime experience
We come from No Where
We are Now Here
and we are heading to No Where
What is the difference between, No where and Now Here… space

Life is an accumulation of moments, cherish each one.
Always remember to be thankful. show appreciation – live your life to the fullest.

PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror
Where are they, what do they know we don’t. When we got that really cold weather last week, the chipmunks didn’t come out. They waited for the day to warm up. There have been whispers that we might get a cold snap over the next few weeks. On the bright side, with the cold…. I have not seen the pesky biters (mosquitoes)
Discover the joy of Transforming yourself. When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself. (PL2014.8)
…. do you realize when you are retired, you don’t “have” to get up and be somewhere, unless you decide that is something YOU WANT to do….

ps. I’m thinking of finally putting into action, an adult colouring book. I have enough material accumulated.
Feeling tired, worn out, need a break. This rusted beauty above has been sitting on the side of the road for years. I was glad to see it was still there, but it is showing its age. The picture below is from my collection of vintage oldies ( found on Pinterest). These relics are from a different time. Life was slower … the car was an invention that allowed for greater distances to be travelled, in a shorter time. It was the beginning of an era where life would no longer be lived “closer to home”
There was a time, when someone who lived in another village/town/hamlet would be a total stranger, and usually would remain so … because life was lived within the community/parish you lived in. Now we can wake up in one country and go to bed in another … Friends/family can be miles away, Sometimes the physical distance means the only communication is “electronic”…
How many readers remember when the only way we could stay in touch was by “Mail”… when phones were few and far between… How many of you have had a “penpal”… someone who you wrote to .. in a far away place.. and then wait for them to respond… a conversation tooks weeks/months. Sigh.. a trip down memory lane.
Note. I still communicate with two of my “pals” one in New Zealand, the other in NY State..
New Encounters can help you change.
Be up for anything, even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being. (PL2020.30)
Cheers everyone.. May your day be blessed with sunshine and friends.

The witching month is here .. it is official, the pumpkins, spiders, skulls, everywhere one looks we can catch a glimpse of spider webs, or the tail end of a broom as someone flies to work. In the shops, we can have spiced lattes, pumpkin pie, the restaurants are offering up thanksgiving specials.. (Canadian Thanksgiving is on the 14th. of October) Orange in every hue is all around us.
Express your feelings without hesitation
If you hold in all your feelings, you will feel heavy. Just say what is on your mind without hesitating. (PL2017.4)
Sometimes, we have to be “grown up”… Whatever that means!

Good morning, welcome to a small town along the highways as I made my way towards Valleyfield, Quebec.
.I looked up and saw the door leading …out to no where – then I spied this old concrete structure with the wonderful wrap around veranda.. it must have been a great vantage point for the town parades in the days of its past glory. I am thinking it could have been the village general store.., It was a delightful find.
Today’s thought -reflection.
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart
Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy. (PL2021.3)
Here is something else to think about. The other day my neighbour said to me ” soon we won’t be able to enjoy a banana” .. when I Iooked puzzled she said.. “no seeds in the watermelons, no seeds in the bananas, our food is being so manipulated (GMO) there are no seeds to carry on the wonderful fruits and vegetables as we knew them. Sure enough, when I got home, my watermelon, had no seeds, not one. and…. I’m told you have to pick where you get your bananas, they are not always enjoyable to eat (texture)
Have a good day everyone!
