It’s easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Sometimes it is not what we see, but what we can’t see that speaks to us,

Same area, just weeks apart, drum roll, It is dark in the mornings when I get up, very dark, yesterday when I left it was too dark, today I’ll wait a bit before leaving. I got to the feeders and no one was there to greet me. The sleepy heads heard me and slowly began to arrive, but they were not their chatty selves, there was a lot of grumbling (Ok I might embellish a bit) But they were not their busy busy selves. Bless the little chickadees they were present and greeted me through the grayness of the morning.
Now.. listen up. I have never been a wonton soup fan. In fact I don’t recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. EVER. in Costco the other day, I was getting my shrimp Sui Mi dumplings, and a lady and her friend came to the area and began taking out the wonton soup packages that were displayed beside my Sui Mi. The lady couldn’t say enough about the soup and she and her friend took several boxes. I smiled took my purchase and left. However… the conversation stayed with me.. she had been very enthusiastic. and I love shrimp dumplings. (this wonton soup is filled with shrimp dumplings).
I confess to being at a time in my life where I am not overly keen on making dumplings anymore, or cooking anymore than I have to….. so.. when I went for my top of shrimp dumplings the other day, I took a box of the wonton soup. (6 individual servings per box). I have now gone back and purchased more TWICE because I am having a bowl of wonton soup for breakfast, at lunch and maybe even as a snack later, AND … I bought a box yesterday and already I’ve gone through half of it. Thankfully, I am hoping that this phase will pass. When my husband was still alive, at this time of year he liked the Costco French onion soup .. I never bothered, as I said I was not a soup person. I let him have all the portions. Well…I bought a box of the French onion soup yesterday too. AND its pretty good…….
Tell yourself “things Happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

Change…. we are still in the fall, this snow will likely disappear before the hard core snow arrives, It was so peaceful in the parking lot when I took this picture, Temperatures had dropped, there was no one else around, I was able to take my time and enjoy the moment,

Girls wanna have fun. Remember when we played dress up.. what movies do you watch, what captures your imagination.. Today everyone has license to dress up and have fun, its Halloween. People add colour and fun to their appearance to go to work, wear costumes representing a popular game character, or super hero, there have been parties going on all weekend. You got a costume in mind?
Mother Nature had her own bit of fun, she gave us a sprinkling of snow.
Be Flexible to Change. A flexible way of thinking and responding is one of the keys to getting along with others,.

Whatever you do today.. celebrate the joy of living… be in the moment… allow your creativity to shine.. wear a smile, it goes a long way… I put on my halo and wings for the day…. wink…
High above the tree tops is where I want to be… woke up to snow.. on the ground and still falling,
Cheris this moment, this time this day. People keep growing as time goes on. Cherish your self-expressions.

.life is fleeting – it happens – like the moment that comes and goes – there is only now.
Get things started with Grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

You can travel along .. enjoying the view, if you look left, you get a beautiful view of the fall colours, if you look to the right.. a totally different sight meets your eyes. In life we are faced with such situations often in one day … Sometimes it is verbal not visual, but it comes down to choice. How do you cope or accept the opportunities that come your way,.
“When you get stuck, take a step back.. When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom,”

Sometimes we have to go into the night and dance .. ” no one is watching” and if they are, who cares!… Let the moment happen, enjoy the freedom of movement and space.
Yesterday I finally got to have my BD lunch with my niece and nephew. It was the last day of the Moon Festival offerings at our favourite buffet. 3/4 of this plate is filled with shrimps cooked in different ways, the green beans you can see, I got a couple of slices of ginger beef, and same with the salt and pepper pork. The only noodle is the decoration you see on top, Notice I did take a piece of corn on the cob that sits in a lovely butter sauce in the heating trays.
Being asked for a favor is a chance. When someone asks for a favor from you,, this is a chance for you to help others. Face the chance proactively,

Yesterday I looked up as I was walking back to my car, and saw a Benedictine monk standing behind a stand of trees, I got out my camera.. I had to look a few times, but yes… I saw him standing there as clear as day. As I put the camera into a different position, and moved to get a better shot, a big white van backed up and obstructed my view. The moment had come and gone.
The photographer driving the van offered to pull out so I could get the shot but you all know, if you don’t catch it when the light is just right and you are in the one spot where the “moment” appears.. its gone, lost.
Life is a series of moments.. no more.. no less.
Move forward with confidence. Experience you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.
