When you get stuck, go back to the beginning … Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm. (PL2012.04)
I don’t know if this is an old soul I’ve met in years past, but every once in awhile, there is/are turtles walking the trail(s) where they come across long legged creatures like myself. Wonder what they think of us. Check out this critters back claws.
Differences – Differences can be the foundation of Understanding. our age and gender, our workplace and position in the family are all different. The first step to peace is to respect and honor each other’s differences. (PL2011.1)
Rather than thinking “I have to ….” Think ..”OK, Let’s do this!” When you procrastinate and put things off until later, you will make things harder than they need to be. Get up and do it now. (2020.31)
Good morning everyone, today being Thursday I’m sharing a couple of doorways that I found along the St Lawrence (the river between Canada and the USA) It was a beautiful day for a drive .. a friend and i had an “outing” … there is a food stop along the hwy that runs along the river to Cornwall. It was a lovely day for a drive. the hamburgers are actually made with real meat patties,,, the fries are delicious. everything is made fresh on the spot, Rather than just sit and visit, we explored and enjoyed the beautiful day, Bonus,, I found some great welcoming doors.
Today’s quote..
New Encounters can help you change, Be up for anything even if its out of your comfort zone This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being, (PL 2020.30)
Being Thursday, if you would like to visit more doors .. please visit Dan’s No Facilities site.. where other “door/architecture” lovers will post on Thursday Doors. https://nofacilities.com/2024/05/27/memorial-walk-tdwc/

Update .. my car came back to me yesterday, it was detailed and repaired, it looks factory new. Smells like a new car The dealer (Surgenor GM Ottawa ) did an amazing job of repairing it and getting it back to me as soon as possible. Their customer service team goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after a client’s needs. We all hear the advertisements, but this is a team that provides and excels at looking after their customers.. remember how they helped when my car rebelled on me when I was out in the woods…
The Service Advisor who looks after my car when it goes in, for regular maintenance and other required services is excellent at what he does, And it is not just him, it was so busy when my car had its breakdown, a member of the mgmt. team gave of his time to help out. No wonder everyone who uses Surgenor has only praise for the service they provide Whether it was the car jockey or one of the mechanics they are tops! The critters did the car in, chewing wires and whatever else they could get at.. but the staff at Surgenor saved the day! Kevin (service advisor) thank you.. you wore your super hero cape again!
There you have it.. my post for today, now I’m going to go and drive my all cleaned up and road ready Buick!

Remember to be kind and smile today… it always comes back to you!
Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things, you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more
Nos momentos dificeis da vida….. in difficult moment of life,..step back, stop and listen to the voice within. If you can… visit a place where you can meditate/pray … take in the silence, the quiet, let your body/mind recalibrate, release negative and worrisome energies.. In areas where the seasons change, the transition from winter to spring can be a gradual change or a dramatic explosion … ie. severe weather warnings, forest fires, flooding..
You are never alone, even if at times it feels that way… Turn on the flame of hope… let the Universe help you to find inner peace.., The rain will feed the plants that are waking after being dormant for months on end .. spring flowers are blooming, the other day I passed many lilac bushes already bursting with colour.. I would have gotten out to see if their fragrance was filling the air, however.. I was stopped from following that thought process,, when I saw the mosquitoes eagerly waiting for me to get out of the car.

Here are some of the birds I’ve heard singing these past couple of mornings.. chestnut sided warbler, gray catbird, red eyed Vireo, Great Crested Fly Catcher ,Oven bird, wood thrush, hermit thrush, there were of course many others, but these are the newer ones for me.
Put your whole heart into everything and express your individuality. When you put your whole heart into expressing yourself, your true beauty will shine through. (Pl2020.19)

If our perspective on the world doesn’t widen and deepen as we age, them we have squandered the most valuable asset life has to offer.
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year’ Ralph Waldo Emerson
When something comes to mind, do it right away. The moment that you notice something is the best time to take care of it. If you react quickly, your life will be more efficient. ( PL 2020.18 )
In Canada this is a long week-end. Gardeners are putting in their annuals and doing their “big plantings” and cottage goers .. it is traditional that most drive out to open their summer cottages. Happy Long Week-end everyone. Enjoy what ever you have on for the week-end.
Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best” Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best. (PL2019.15)
