Sometimes, I’m still standing, still around, but simply not seen, there is just too much going on around me, passersby, lost in thought, walk on by. Albeit brief, I enjoyed the visit… please come again soon.

PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop

PL Precept # 17 All is Essential

Are you too busy all the time? Who schedules your day? There comes a time in life .. when we have to realize that if we are “too” busy, then it is our responsibility to look at what changes can be made… All too often, we apply ourselves to work, or the “wants” of others, and put ourselves last. In the end, we are born into this world on our own, and we will leave it … on our own.

I walked the bog yesterday, first time in awhile where I have gone all the way around, the rain of the other day, left a layer of dampness over everything.. I was delighted to actually see a few mushrooms.

Thursday Doors

Does an open door intrigue and tease – do you often wander aimlessly looking for a place to be..

when out of the corner of your eye, you see… an open door, inviting you to enter

the sight brings a simple joy and pleasure … and look, there is a lot of space to simply rest and ignore that the rest of the world is sooo busy, but for now…

all you seek, is a place to rest and allow your mind chill….

All work and no play, is not what you need today… today is time for you to explore the open door.

For more doors. please visit Dan’s No Facilities site for the link to more doors featured in today’s weekly door/architecture feature.https://nofacilities.com/2024/09/26/back-at-osv/

Till soon!

aujourd’hui

‘NOW” is always the start of something new

Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Today I am doing something “new” I have booked a FST session at Movati (Fascial Stretch therapy). Want to know what that is https://youtu.be/Zvjy2muf35U?si=xOGv-c6pm5-5UB3M

Till soon.

dragon

tick one more item off my bucket list. meet my forever dragon.

I have been a lifetime living with a mystical dragon who roamed the galaxy .. coming home from time to time to tell of his adventures or to lend support. Yesterday the wonderful tat artist from Brisbane, Australia was back in Ottawa (Samantha Read).. I was one of the fortunate ones able to book with her for this visit. Thank you Sam, I have waited a long time for my dragon to appear. You can see Sam’s work on Instagram,https://www.instagram.com/samreadtattoos/ she travels the globe, who knows you may be lucky and she will be headed your way at some time. Tats are not for everyone, you remember when I got my bee those many years ago. It was a big step for me… but I took it… and with that first step, came many “adventures”. I stepped out of my comfort zone, and found a whole new world of possibilities.

If you’re going to do it, do it joyfully.

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty. (PL.2014.23)

Happy start to a new week, make it a happy one!

Wow… thank you everyone for all the BD wishes… Not gonna let me forget are you… I’ve had so many over the years. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to them. I even got an invite from Movatti (health club) I am entitled to one of their very special shakes from the health bar.. I will take them up on that, Since my return after an absence of 7 years, I have not sampled their new offerings. It is not that I try to ignore my BD, but you know… after a number of them.. we kind of… want to just acknowledge them and roll with it. As my cousin (Brian) said, September is BD month. September babies are lucky we have the most beautiful month of the year to celebrate in, I’m not alone, there are a lot of September babies.. Happy Birthday fellow Virgos. https://youtu.be/k37QvhAyA2Y?si=2-OGJ2FnBAKVLTIJ

Again, thank you all for you good wishes … I appreciate each and everyone of you. Always…

PS. NO I don’t want to count backwards. I love my life. I am very blessed…

A charity rally yesterday, bikers ready for the start of the tour. It began in Plantagenet Ontario, and was going to end with a spaghetti dinner in Alfred later in the day. The weather was awesome for the ride, good showing, and hopefully a successful event for the fund raisers.

A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.

When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face._(PL2014.15)

There is a sense of freedom when you ride a bike that I’ve been unable to replicate over the years. I’ve toured before, years ago now, but the feelings that I acquired from the rides has never gone away, I still smile when I see another rider on a touring bike go by. Noted yesterday although there were a lot of couples who rode together on the same bike. Many of the ladies had their own ride. THAT was a pleasure all on its own. I was given riding lessons MANY years ago for my birthday… but I was never brave enough to follow through. I liked being a passenger. =^_^= Spent many happy hours on a Honda Gold Wing.. and a Tiger (Triumph)

Cheers everyone.. make today a day of SMILES…

Many of the riders were from the Hawkesbury Harley Davidson club… sorry there were too many bikers to get a full picture of all participants and the various clubs that participated. If anyone knows or has information, please let me know. There were all makes and models of bikes there.
