In silence I find myself transcending the NOW of the moment
To the vibrant energy of the forest trail
I see before me the portrait of the life on each leaf – in the textures of the tree bark
I am in awe at the way the frost paints a delicate lace on the landscape that surrounds me
Each picture perfect moment is etched in my consciousness
THIS is LOVE of the rarest kind – it removes the blindfold from my eyes
I am seeing the world again … not just with my eyes
but from the heart and soul of my BEing.
Every day is a gift from God/Universe

Choices – we all have them, we encounter them every day – some we make without really thinking about them, others we give a lot of thought to. With the change of seasons, comes an opportunity to listen closely to our inner voice, and let the past drop, like the soon to be falling leaves. Once lived, it is time to let go. Learn from what was, appreciate now and move forward. Love is a powerful emotion, live with it wisely,
In life there is Yin/Yang, we cannot have one without the other. (positive/negative)

It was cold .. I’m layered with a long sleeve sweater, quilted vest an outer denim vest and then my rain jacket. Wild turkeys following my lead back to the feeding area. (7 a.m. ish)

The maiden sits. Seasons come and go. Still she sits.
Once I saw her, I couldn’t not see her. What drew me to her initially was the face that looked out at me.
It was only when I got home and uploaded that I realized it was a woman sitting. (a maiden)
I posted it on Instagram, then felt the need to share her with you here.
Help the people around you smile more. always strive to make those around you smile. That will bring you joy too.

Yesterday’s journey took me through a golden glow of pure ecstacy. This means, the leaves are in change mode from scrarlet/crimson tones to the sunshine yellows/golds and bronze…
Today is a new day, the start of a new work week. I cleaned out a file drawer last night, I found files back to 2008, some even older. One of the tips to finding mindfulness and calm, is to declutter. Since my husband’s passing, and prior to… I have been doing a slow but steady “clean up” Over the years it is amazing how much we retain, or put away to look at later. What we thought was important to keep .. yet once tucked away, seldom or if ever… looked at again
Somewhere in time I had picked up a book called Stuck on YOU, 140 quirky love quotes that stick in your memory and on your stuff (there were stickers in it at one time) the book is titled, Stuck on you, the heading is… Where there is love . there is life. copyright 2016. In looking at it again, I see the pages tear off, even more interesting to me is the quotes I used (I date or highlight if I something catches my eye)
Here is one, by unknown. ” I wish I could turn back the clock, I’d find you sooner and love you longer.” my little inner voice says… you didn’t find him/her sooner because you were not ready…
Today’s quote from the PL calendar..
Start today with a fresh outlook. Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start eah day with a fresh mind

In cleaning out that file drawer, I threw out a lot, but I also found a few treasures that I have put aside for another moment of discovery at a later date. Love has been a constant thread in my life. I love being happy, and loving life brings a lot of happiness.. yes knowing love means you live all the emotions that go with it.. but when love is true, it is all a blessing.
True love doesn’t have a happy ending. True love never ends.

Every year I would get such a chuckle out of how Chris and his wife would do their décor up for the fall, I went looking this year and couldn’t find what was done. Chris generously send me the picture for this year. So, dear readers, here it is…. the critters that visit their yard from the woods behind their home, must find it entertaining… they must wonder at the antics of “humans”.. we are after all such a special species.
Spent part of today, sweeping up leaves, and bringing some of my wood finds under cover ( into the garage).. there I hope they will dry out over winter.. they will no longer be exposed to the weather, it can get extreme here when we are into the full throes of a Canadian winter. Since the forecast is for rain off and on over the week-end I also drained the water barrel of the accumulation from the last couple of weeks. Called fall chores … bet you have your own to deal with… =^_^=
Please.. no applause, these tasks got done because.. I was in the mood today to be outside and I felt like it.. the “lazy” me could return at anytime..!!!
Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

PS.. note.. raking/yard work can be satisfying when doing it.. the aftermath if you have arthritis in the hands/wrist/fingers etc. can be devastating
Fall is such a special time of year, we all have different memories about this time of year. For me it is wandering the various back roads in “anywhere” I can get to. I thought this was a happy picture, hope it brings a smile to your day.
Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

Good Morning everyone, my eyes are tired already from trying to find the photographer for the top photo.. time marches forward.. wishing you all a happy Thursday, this is today’s PL Calendar quote of the day.
You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.

Dan, thanks again for the pictures of Pittsburgh, you just saved me a long drive.=^_^=. I have been a Penguins fan for years.. not because I was a huge hockey fan, but because I loved penguins, and besides friends live in Philly and are Flyers fans. ^^^ you know how it is ^^^ Go Penguins !!!!!!
He shoots – He SCORES !!!!!!!! I think there is a game in October between Pittsburg and the Canadians Oct. 17, they play the Maple leafs Nov. 11 the Senators on Jan. 18/23 But the only one that will have me checking the scores will be NOV 25 when they play the Flyers. (hahahah).. hey.. not me, I’m not a hockey fan!
When you select 7 pictures and only one shows up on your screen… you work with the one that shows up,
It was on the cool side during my early morning walk, I saw the valiant little faces along the side of the path I was on…. they looked so cheerful .. hopeful even. Didn’t matter they were somewhat tired, they were stretching up towards the sun… wanting to catch what warmth was being offered.
I felt a kinship with them. I was happy, the walk was refreshing and the birds that were around kept me company chirping away and singing as they flew about their business. For the first time since early spring I saw lots of crows this morning, they were showing up everywhere. That cheered me too, you know I love my crows and ravens. I realized that after continuous trips down the road I was on, the landmarks were very familiar to me… the fallen trees, the broken limbs, the rotting stumps… all seemed to wave and greet me as I passed. I was even noticing where animals had crossed over to the other side and made paths in the overgrown vegetation. I was tempted to take one of the paths to see where it led… but decided to save it for another day, I still had to get to the other location that I go to each morning. Yes, that moment didn’t escape me either. I have become set in my routine…
Because I am alone on the road, no one is around for miles, I hear myself talking out loud at times. Musing, when I hear a thought spoken out loud, I reflect on it in a different way than if it is just a thought in passing. I met a man with an interest in insects.. I could see him looking carefully at the trees and objects close to where he was standing. He would bend and poke at the ground, move the tall stalks/stems of plants, look under and around the leaves. by the time I reached where he was standing, I was curious enough to ask him if he had lost something. “No, not at all” he replied “I’m looking for insects that might not have made it through the night because of the frost.” I beamed, I had just learned something new. I would never have thought of looking for dead insects.
My walk did produce two more broken tree limbs that I can whittle. big grin. You see, he probably thought I was weird too, he would have seen me walking along whittling a decaying branch as I was coming his way. When I find them, they have been lying on the ground, they are not pretty, often wet and dirty, maybe of interest to a dog, but again, maybe not.. they are not that big and until I take off the rotting outer bark, look rather shabby, Because nights have been cold, they are not only wet but cold. You can feel the cold coming off them sometimes numbing the fingers till they start to warm up,
When I got to Mer Bleue I was late, having spent so much time walking and rambling at P23… there were signs the wild turkeys had been there, the ground was cleaned and you could see their foot prints and pawing. I fed the Blue Jays and put out grain for the nuthatch and chickadees etc. then started to pack up to leave.. Suddenly I had about a dozen wild turkeys running towards me.. looking for their treats.. how did they know .. I had not seen a hint of their presence, had it been the sound of the Jays calling to each other and the chipmunk and squirrels chattering over the peanuts? Whatever it was, they were suddenly very much there.
It is interesting how many people are thrilled to see them up close, I am going to have to look up how to tell a male from a female, I must have been asked a dozen times today, and I haven’t a clue. I had an appointment to get to and had to leave.. but not before I saw a lot of happy faces admiring and taking pictures of the wild turkeys.
In life we never know what the future will bring… if you had told me years ago that I would become a bird fancier I would have thought you nuts, Perhaps even unhinged… yet.. here I am today a certified wild turkey fan. Well, not just the turkeys.. I am especially fond of the ravens and crows. If I am quiet about it, no one will know =^_^=
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let’s make each day meaningful, live life with appreciation and gratitude. Live the PL WAY
