Sunday moment

It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

I picked up a magazine the other day to put in the bag i was putting together for the charity shop, I saw that I had a book mark on a page. ID your strengths… I must have been going to revisit the page. I had had good intentions.. date of the little magazine was 2021, January.

My eyes lingered on the one block on the page of strength, the issues was January so it is when everyone is looking at challenges we faced in the previous year and what lessons had we learned etc. It is an interesting list. I’ll share it with you.

Appreciation of beauty and excellence ……………. Kindness …………………. Leadership …………

Bravery ……… Love……….. creativity ……………… love of learning …….. curiosity ……… perseverance ………..

fairness ……. Perspetive …………. forgiveness …….. prudence ……….. gratitude ……… self regulation ……..

honesty …….. self regulation ……… hope ………. social intelligence ……… humility ……….. spirituality ………..

humor……. judgement …….. teamwork …….. zest ………..

To cope with current problems, it helps to reflect on past successes .. and we are asked to look at what inner resources helped us to do this. Apparently psychologists call our “superpowers” signature strengths. is that a cape billowing behind you? Mine is tattered and torn in places, colours are faded,, but I won’t be trading it in soon…. I earned every wrinkle and stain… you?

Have a great day everyone, service is at 10 a.m.

Prayers

Praying before taking action changes the outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

Enjoy the process and savor it. the feeling you have when you’ve seen something through to the end is awesome, but the true joy lies in the actual execution of the plan.

Sometimes prayers are answered in a way that you don’t expect. Life has been busy, so busy that until it took its toll on me and I simply had no choice but to stop and unwind… I had no idea how brain fogged I was getting. We get busy, and we get into a routine of “doing” .. it is not until a friend mentions to you that you are always on the go. A friend actually was telling me that her friends were always telling her she was always traveling, and she didn’t necessarily see it that way, she saw herself as a stay at home person.

hmmmm. a little “bell” went off in my head. I was one of her friends who IF I thought of it, would think she did travel a lot. So when another friend said to me, “you are always on the go” I actually heard him, it wasn’t just words coming at me from across a room.

So… when a friend send me a link to pictures taken while he and his wife were on a travel vacation, I innocently opened up the files and WOW… OMG… this picture caught my attention, it literally screamed at me… if I was to visualize my inner thoughts and what was or has been going on in my gray matter, this picture said it all. Why? I don’t know.. it just drew me in, it captured my attention.

From my head to my toes, this picture could be an abstract picture of my emotions – all consuming yet not tangible. My life is so full in some ways, so content, so rich, so vibrant, yet… there is a part of me that seems to be simmering waiting to erupt.

Nick and Mel traveled through some very majestic territory.. they were exploring Yellowstone National Park… Some of Nick’s pictures were just too much to take in, I think it was the impression of the vast geography that they were experiencing, it was something that would be so totally mind blowing first hand. Thank you Nick for sharing, you gave me something that opened doors to possibilities.. more for me to think about .. LOL as always your sharing brings happiness and a smile

Make Today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do. as our unique signature.

Rabbit rescue

Domestic rabbits, the one today the lady at the SPCA told me it was a dwarf rabbit. These animals are bred to be pets, they are not born and raised in the wild. The are used to human contact, they are fed on a regular basis, have very different lives than an animal, born and raised in the wild.

Why then is it that someone who has such a young rabbit who has only known human care, takes it and dumps it in the parking lot of a conservation area that is full of coyotes, and every other kind of wild animal in the area… that has to hunt and kill for its meals.

Fortunately, I was in the parking lot getting ready to leave when one of the regular walkers there brought to my attention that there was a rabbit behind his van. Nothing unusual, there are wild rabbits around at this time of year, however, this one he told me was not a wild rabbit .. it was a looking to him for food. It didn’t run when we approached it, altho’ it was cautious… it kept out of our reach, but kept coming to us when we called. It wanted to hide under my car.. so it was used to cars.. and people..

Thankfully Daniel was in agreement with our trying to catch it and I’d take it to the SPCA.. I have no experience with rabbits.. I knew my dogs who are whippets (natural sight hounds and taught to chase rabbits (on a lure) in chase training, would not welcome a rabbit. But I agreed I would take it to the SPCA if we were able to catch it.

It took us time, but eventually we were able to get close enough to scoop it up… I put the zippers up on my dog bed for the car.. and put the wee one in. It was good it settled in and just sat there. Again what came to mind was how cruel it was to have dropped such a docile and trusting animal in a wild environment and driven away. I don’t think of myself as wicked, but I do send out to the Universe that the previous owners have at least one bad dream/nightmare.. for their thoughtless actions.

The rabbit was taken in by the SPCA, I ask that everyone focus on the good. It is my hope that he/she will be adopted by a caring family that will love it and give it a good home.

The Universe provided for this young life. It was discovered and taken to a place where it will have a chance at a long healthy life.
