for some reason the camera is acting finicky… half of the pictures taken the other day were not focused properly, I recall having trouble with the adjustments at the time.. of course its when I get home and upload them that I see just how wonky some of them turned out. The blue jays don’t strike me as being crisp… but.. and I do see the little chippy.
You can freely express yourself within the rules. Consider rules as a canvas on which to express your specialty artistically
I’m not in a rush, please stand by while I move over when I’m ready
Turtle rescue – one of the regular hikers .. found a turtle on the paved road.. it was very dry and far from water. He picked it up and carried it to a body of water.. (2 km. further down the road)
sharing love and compassion will always be rewarded.
Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

in the Tao we say, if you think you know the TAO, then you really don’t know it at all.

PL Principle # 2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

The world is changing.. (here I go again) the only constant in life is change!
PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being capture by my own thoughts.
Have a great day everyone.. share your smile with the world. Take time for a silly moment – really SMILE..
Strive to be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you. Brille usted mismo ardiente de entusiasmo e ilumine a su entorno. Live radiantly as the sun.

Embrace the moment, have fun, let it happen -reach out and be playful, who cares what others are doing, just be yourself.. dance down the trail, shake a foot, relax the shoulders, shake the hips.. laugh out loud. Its your day, your moment, express yourself with Joy.
I am filled with the unquenchable joy of Spirit! There is a joy I feel that comes and goes in response to what is happening around me. Yet I have a joy that is beyond what I feel as a response to people and circumstance. The spirit of God within me is my source of true joy.
In the presence of divine joy, I am encouraged to be aware of the love peace and strength that are in me, in others and throughout the world.
Daily Word, 209, Psalm 92:4
Each person’s peace leads to world peace. First of all, you have to be happy. that happiness will spread and be the foundation of World Peace.

Everything here is soooo green, lush and over grown, when I saw Shirley’s photos from her trip she was just on, I asked to share a few with you. Isn’t the world a wonderful place, the geography is so different .. depending on where you are on the “globe”
Life is what we make it.
Don’t think overly about people. Instead of being excessively concerned about others, focus on what you should do.

I had wonderful “ladies day” outing, we had lunch at a cafe/restaurant on the canal, ate out by the water. I didn’t intend for it to happen but I have a golden glow that wasn’t there earlier. The sun was out, there was a breeze, company was exceptional, food was good.. hey.. Life is Good!
when these darlings decide its time to cross the road (photo NumOttawa)
I was driving along drinking in the wonderful greenery on all side of me … when I spied two turkeys’ casually standing by the side of the road. I slowed down to a crawl waiting to see what they would do… as I was doing so, I saw two cars coming in the other direction… they did likewise. We sat, waited while the two divas took their time walking across to the other side of the road, disappearing into the woods. ,On a busy city street, when traffic is just a blur, I don’t know that I’d be so patient. There is something very calming about being in “the country”… we (the drivers) who frequent these roads that lead to trails and greenspaces, are in a different zone when we turn off the main roads, into our tranquil zones.
Do things joyfully instead of taking it easy. Enthusiastically engage with what’s in front of you. You’ll enjoy it more.
