where am I

What happens when you know you are awake, but you think you are sleeping, or vice versa. Is there a name for this condition. I was actually having a discussion with Velcro (male whippet) about his food intake, and whether or not the food was fresh.. I know.. scintillating conversation,but it seemed to me (at the time) that the discussion was heartfelt.

I must have gone to bed and gotten up again a dozen times yesterday. Not because I was tired and couldn’t stay awake, but because, my body wanted to lie down. With the poor air quality of the past week, I was still out and about. one day we walked the boardwalk to identify the planks that needed replacing. The NCC take safety seriously, the next day we went back and replaced a couple of the damaged boards and secured others that were not secured and wobbly. Yesterday I went back on my own and picked up the boards we were not able to carry the day before and carried them back to the parking lot to be dealt with Monday when the mtc. staff are back.

There were no problems, in fact I felt good at having accomplished the tidy up on my own. Obviously my brain and my body were not on the same page. (it does happen) The city rated # 1 for worst air quality (in the world) on one of the days that I was out …. I don’t know where I got the idea that I was invincible, but yesterday I got a healthy dose of “wake up” … I wanted to know from nothing, I ate, slept, ate some more and lay down again. I did try to watch the silly box, but it was a failed attempt at being interested.

Here is one of my gems of wisdom… that came into my brain while the fog was clearing. my aching arthritis in my thumb joints… as I lay there thinking about what a pain it was having to deal with the “aging body” and my throbbing thumb joint. Like an insert on a telly show. my mother scolding me, telling me to stop bending my thumb back.. I thought it was so cute I could bend my thumb to touch my wrist (flexible joint) ..my Mother told me over and over again, that I would be sorry. Guess what… she was right. fortunately she is not around to gloat .. which she would never do anyway… she had too much class for that.

Today is the 11th, Ancestor’s Day. In PL we have a ceremony every 11th of the month, where we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors …. service today sill be at 10. a.m. See you there!

Make today a “give back day” We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders and the work of our predecessors. Above all, kindness for others is the best way to give back.

a door beckons

Almost every day I drive by this old church, and almost every time I do … I tell myself.. to stop and get a pictures. It has been there a long time, the other church down the way has disappeared and it happened without my even knowing it was going. Both were old and had a lot of character. I was able to pull over the other day and get a few pictures, I noted it has been taken over by a different group. The sign which I was unable to capture, said that English services would be every third week. (the group that has taken over appear to be Asian). Today when I went to try to get a picture of the newest sign, I realized I didn’t have my cell with me… C’est la vie!….

Many of the old churches of this size are now up for sale… especially those in the downtown core or city center. It is a shame to see them sitting quietly waiting their fate. This one at least gets a new lease on life.

a door closes,

Abby Saint Benoit in the Eastern Townships, Quebec.

How often have you heard the expression, when one door closes, another one opens. I have heard it often over the years and I have lived long enough to know that, it is true. At the time when emotions are raw and the hurt is cutting… the agony of the moment seems so all encompassing that we wonder if we will live through it all. We do. To know such pain is because you were blessed with happiness. Incongruent but true.

It is easy for me now, year past my “youth” I can look back and remember the moments of total misery, I felt and knew “heartbreak”.. I longed for and wanted something that I couldn’t seem to find, I didn’t understand what I wanted either. What I thought I wanted, and what I was so sure I couldn’t go on living without.. turned out .. it was a total disaster in so many ways, yet, I learned from these heart aches, and I grew stronger as a person.

My interest in doors goes back many years… You’d think that by now I would have seen enough doors, but just when I think .. a door is just a door…. I will come across a doorway that is simply “striking” .. it will shout out.. “hey.. gotcha!” and I know I am about to participate in a new chapter of “life”.

Live in the moment. There is only today.

A door may close … and you will walk away

but. know. always. there will be another doorway

a new beginning .. a new discovery

the door will open for you

always/forever

is now

Let’s do it

Do we learn from our past. Can we move forward with peace in our hearts and the commitment and desire to live with respect/understanding and appreciation for others.??? This is a time to reflect and pause in our daily activities to remember and take notice of the positives in our lives.

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.

a Quebec moment

When you reach the edge of NOW. The Province of Quebec has many such moments, it is only when you drive through the province beyond the built up areas, when you park, get out and explore. You can find a wonderland of simplicity that can transport the viewer to another time. An example of Nature at her best. In this photo, he* shares a timeless moment. . (*Dave Renz)

I know many a writer who will find inspiration in this photo. It certainly stirred my imagination..

Meet my newest “friend”… yesterday I got to have a wonderful “away” adventure .. Having a friend who will drive and give me a chance to just “ramble” and let my “mind” wander .. take pictures… and basically just chill…. is an amazing way to share a few hours. Boniway is such a friend… it was so wonderful … I got to ohhh and awww at the wonderful animals who came up to the car to greet us… Miss piglet here was such a personality. AND the baby piglets who were trailing around behind her…were just the cutest.

We were favoured with gorgeous weather. The sun shone bright the weather itself was cool and refreshing…. a big enough breeze that there were no mosquitos .. at least… we didn’t encounter any. It was a day of blessings. I even got to cross the river on the ferry, not once but twice. Much appreciation and gratitude in a day makes for a perfect day. Boni… you were super fantastic in your generosity of spirit…thank YOU.

Wed. 17th.

The magnolia is trying, it really is… the up and down temperatures, the aging of the tree, and the lack of proper nutrition in the soil… It is doing the best it can. the blooms come and seldom last more than a day or two…

The ducks are happily regrouping on the water, and along the shores.. they are loving the sunshine and the feeling of the fresh spring breezes ruffling t heir feathers. There is promise in the air.

The path to achievement is “TO START WITH WHAT YOU AN DO” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

today 15th

“from The Prophet. Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. and how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is it not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say ‘Joy is greater than sorrow’ and others say ‘nay sorrow is the greater’ But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you as your board, remember tht the other is asleep upon your bed.
Kahlil Gibran first published 1923

Today’s calendar…

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you are troubled. Also it will be a good chance for you to get to know others.
