Life presents us with challenges/opportunities every day. Sometimes we hear the call, when we do, we can take it on, or do our best to ignore it. However, the top photo is what happens to the clutter in our minds, when we try to push aside, or put off, something that needs our attention.
What are we back to….. choices.. yup.. somethings won’t go away on their own, WE have to take a hard look, and put an action plan in place. Or it will become overwhelming.

Strive to overcome obstacles by changing your mind-frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things. The outcome is in your hands.

Today, it was cold, damp and gray
what a wonderful day for a visit to the park
after all, with it being so brisk,
there would be little risk of finding a crowd
I bundled up, filling my pockets with roasted squash seeds
Didn’t take long before I made a new friend =^_^=
who couldn’t contain her happiness at her good fortune, so it wasn’t long
before I had several other chicks singing along …. two beautiful blue jays joined in, they truly made me feel like I belonged …
Dark menacing clouds soon began to push aside the sunnier skies, the wind that had been merrily drifting along beside me, began to pick up speed, nudging me back towards my car. The temperature dropped, icy chill seeped through my jacket, till I no longer felt like I wanted to stay.
The ornamental grass waved goodbye as I sped away. They know I will return on another day.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a Turning Point!
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,

I see personalities in each tree I meet. Depending on the time of day, where the sun is, how the shadows play on their textured bark…I’ve never come across a tree that I haven’t liked. Humans are the same. =^_^= some are easier to spend time with then others…. but everyone has the potential of being someone you can learn from, share with, and yes, even be friends with.
Learn to be a person who welcomes change, appreciate the journey you’ve been on. Life is to be lived.
Love is the elixir of life.

Offer your service instead of expecting from others. Take the initiative to do what you can to help others. Understand their needs and act swiftly.

At first when I saw this picture, I thought “nothing like being caught between a rock and a hard place” The second thought that came to mind was ” a rose between two thorns” Still I’m not decided.. but I am attracted to this shot. What do you see, what comes to your mind?
There is always a balance .. hard/soft, fast/slow, flowing/solid…
Have a great day everyone!

There is something about the evolution of a tree, and what we have learned about how it grows, the different types of wood, hardness, texture, colour. I am captivated when I walk into a workshop where wood is being worked on/with. I love the many shapes, forms and characteristics of the different species.
In Wakefield the other day, the wood workers shop was not open when we went, but I got to explore his outdoor work space. Wood everywhere, it was a mini paradise.
I know that pictures are not the same as being there, but I’m sure for those of you who love this kind of “setting” as much I do… you can almost smell the wooden wonder of the place. In the back of this property is a babbling brook. YES I not only got a visual “high” I had the ambience of the running water and clear blue skies. YuppeeDoooo!!!!
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

Doors are the keepers of “mysteries’ they come in all shapes and sizes, no matter the age, the shape, or location, they tell a story. These doors were all taken during my fun adventure on the Quebec side of the Ottawa river the other day. I can’t wait to share with you some of the “decor” that shared time and space with some of the above doors. Stay tuned. =^_^=
Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make effort to be cheerful and happy you will naturally begin to feel that way.

Today November 11 is also Remembrance Day in Canada, fitting that for us, in PL, it is Ancestors’ Day.
Just when I thought I had all the leaves… I noticed tonight when I let the dogs out.. that “oh NO! more leaves to fall”! How on earth did I not see them the other day… Goes to show me that I am not as observant as I think I am! This little corner got completely missed.
I must admit tho’ that I found the little vignette rather pretty. I even came back into the house to collect my camera.
Always there is a positive to be found ! Note to self, bring in my garden “keepers” for the winter. =^_^=
Be thankful to your parents and to your Ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. Always remember to be thankful.
