Canaille

My Porti, Canaille, she was the love of my life … my best friend, my one and only, When I saw this thanksgiving puzzle, I had to do it…

There are always special “loves” that share our “world” always do your best to treasure every moment you have with them… There is only “NOW”

Put Makoto even into small things.

Don’t let things go with “oh well” You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into all you do. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you.

Let’s express our joy to others

When you express your joy to others, the joy will multiply and make others happy as well.

Happiness is a state of mind that is so wonderful …. I wish you all a great day!

Casablanca in November

Let your gratitude show in your words and actions.

When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud. (PL2017.21)

Casablanca

I saw there was a bend in the road ahead, should I go straight or take the turn and see where I land? Ever wonder what is around the bend? Driving along the long dusty road, I was enjoying the view, but there was a temptation to see something new.

Life can be overwhelming at times. Not everyday is a holiday, and not everyday, can friends come out and play.

“Now” is always the start of something new. Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress (PL2014.24)

Till soon…

Be careful not to lean towards only what you like

Live a life of balance; don’t just do the things you like to do, or are good at, or already know how to do. (PL2017.19)

I would like to give a shout out to employees who work in Asian grocery stores — I am a shopper who cannot read a lot of the packaging. Many of the employees are not fluent in English… yet they go out of their way to ensure you have a positive shopping experience. The other day as I was topping up on my Starbucks bottled coffee (from the cooler) the young man stocking the cooler next to me… leaned over and said “please wait if you can, on sale soon for good price” Did I appreciate his help.. you bet.. it was 8.99 a bottle and when they put it on sale it goes to 6.89..

Have a good day everyone!

Welcome the new while respecting the old.

Every generation brings forth new and positive changes, but also relies on the wisdom of the past. Be able to appreciate both and take the best from each. (PL2017.18)

Have a great start to a new week everyone!

Sunday

We are capable of handling whatever comes our way.

Instead of asking yourself,, “Can I do it?” simply tell yourself ,”I’m going to do it!” Then, give it your best effort. (PL2017.17)

Eartha “hey want to go to the States tomorrow” Me, “sure, ” and as simple as that, the next day (yesterday) we were on the road to Norther NY State. If anyone has information on how to find the Amish community in the area between Watertown and Massena… it would be appreciated if you could drop me a line, we’d even travel further down towards Syracuse.

There is a good Chinese Buffet in Watertown… in the shopping Centre with the Joanne’s and the Dollar Tree. We got there as they were changing over from the lunch buffet to the dinner one. The dinner selection had more seafood. Prices were reasonable the same variety up here would be between 25- 35 dollars on a week-end.. For two yesterday it was under 40 for both of us. Incl. tip.

Yes it was dark when we were driving home.. but Eartha was a pro… it was a breeze for her..

Have a great Sunday everyone…. oh.. in the States, we found less Xmas cheer in some stores, we were told they wanted to focus on Thanksgiving.. Up here, Xmas decor and merchandise is in full swing. (was looking for that “ugly” sweater.)

Cheers – Till soon!

good morning

A busy person is someone who others can count on

The fact that you are busy means that you are needed by others. In a way it’s a sign of how much they trust and rely on you. ^(PL2017.15)

Mid month already! Have an awesome day everyone!

Doors – wood

I was inspired today by Dan’s post on the beautiful wooden door he made out of a piece of wood he found at a wood working show. Back many years ago, I discovered I had a passion for wood, and carving, A friend was an excellent carver, he would carve something out of pieces of wood he would find, it was inspiring that he could bring the wood to life. To my surprise I’ve since learned that he no longer has a passion for the craft. But the love of the craft for me has lived on.

The love of wood has stayed with me over the years, whenever I travel I look for exotic or different kinds of wood … I’m totally fascinated by what nature does on her own with the never ending displays she puts on with the trees, their form, the way the bark can take on a life of its own, how the elements bend and shape the landscape… and doors are part of that passion. Wooden doors. I found the door you see above on one of my travels.. I wanted to bring it home, sand it down and carve it. I had no way of getting it home, I no longer had my truck. By the time it would take me to find a way to transport it, and find my way back to the location where the door was… it was a dream.. I kept the picture.. “in case”

Dan I’m green with envy you got to work with that piece of wood. I love the smell of the wood when we work on it. In fact, after I finish this little blog, I’m going to go in search of my tools. I still have a couple of pieces I bought many moons ago in a small village when I searched out exotic woods for my friend to carve. Funny I never wanted to let them go.. I just moved them from one storage place to another, always in my “office/studio”

Your door has reopened one for me… That is what doors are all about… can you see how beautiful that door would have been had it had some love and attention.

To see Dan’s work of art, please visit his site, and take the opportunity to visit all the other doors that will be showcased today from all over..https://nofacilities.com/2024/11/14/one-door-one-doorway/

Enjoy exploring the many different doors/ doorways and architecture that will be featured …

Till soon everyone!
