Friday…

When it is just you and the moment you are in. When the calling of the sea gulls and the questioning crows is the sounds that you hear. Off in the distant horizon where one would usually see a big steamer slowly making its way down the channel, there is nothing but emptiness. This was a time for quiet reflection… I actually parked myself down on one of the benches and just enjoyed. (this was a memory from 2017)

The leaves are gone now, but yesterday was spent touring one of the X country ski trails that doe a loop near where I have the bird feeders. This is done to check for big roots that could be dangerous on the trail, hanging branches that are too close to where people will be skiing/walking/running… trees that are leaning over and could prove to be dangerous should they topple.

Being in Nature is one of the easiest ways for me to “chill”… to loose myself in the shadows and the intrigue of the forest itself. WE all have different ways of finding what “works” for us.. Whatever it is that reaches in and connects with you… try to find some time in your day to enjoy that “space” It is important to our “well being” … to find time to regenerate…recharge…

Today is the 11th. in PL. it is a special day where we have service (ceremony) each 11th of the month to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for guidance so we can continue to live the PL Way. I also make time during the service to do special prayers for all that have asked for and that require special prayers. YOU are all part of my day… service will begin at 10 a.m.

Today is also a day of remembrance – in Canada we call it Remembrance Day in the USA I believe it is called Veterans Day… Silence is observed at 11 a.m.

You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. we are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.

It is easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Nov 9…

Express yourself clearly so others can understand you. When you can’t communicate clearly it can lead to problems. always express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.

The magic of waking to another day, is realizing that there are so many possibilities, and each one will be a new beginning. I heard the other day that someone had made up a “mood board” they had collected and gathered materials to make up a poster with a collage of inspirations and aspirations. Sounds like a fun project, I am currently in a declutter “mode”, must ask if this is something they will put up somewhere or if it is like a journaling page. It is always fun and interesting to learn how others cope with mindfulness

a walk with myself

Today I forced myself to return to Pine Grove Trail .. it has been cleared .. above is what it looked like after the storm.. below is what I explored today.

At first I confess I was filled with a sadness, my feet were reluctant, and my whole body tensed as I made my way through the gate to walk along the once familiar trail Then I began to notice the new growth that was bravely dealing with the coming of winter. The young shoots were bravely waving their fall colours.

I was reminded that in nature, there is always tomorrow, and another day. Out of the broken, devastated remains of what was, there was new growth, Strong young shoots reaching up into the clear blue sky, their leaves a riot of colour showing their pride at having attained a place in the world.

The message was loud and clear, never let a set back, deter you from your goals or purpose in life. It may not be the easiest path, but it is your path, and you are here, live it… experience all of what life sends your way… if you come face to face with it, it is because the Universe knows you can cope/deal with it.

When you let go of what was… you are blessed with new opportunities .. you face new potential … you will make new memories … and you yourself, will grow, you open the door to new possibilities.

What began as a simple walk, turned into a moment of discovery, I feel so blessed, and that you are here to share it with me, makes it a pure delight.

into morning mist….

There is something about the tranquility and peaceful ambience of being in nature in the early morning hours.

Have a prayerful mind to love yourself and others. Open up your heart fully when praying to God. It will help you work out your feelings.

It is your road…

and yours alone to to walk, so much to see, so much to discover.

You will meet and walk with others along the way, but no on can walk the road for you.

Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well.

meet “Ham”

I really do believe that this one likes to pose for me. He will set himself apart and then just pose giving me time to take his picture… all sides =^_^= … It doesn’t earn him rewards just praise and admiration.

When the camera gets put away, he will saunter off being very nonchalant. No, I cannot tell them apart once they are gathered in a group.. not yet anyway. I have to admit to being fond of them, now when I see them when I’m walking a trail, I stop and visit.. a few of them will be social, others will turn and run off towards their “pals”.. they have the cutest way of running. The other day I was treated to two of them actually flying off into the trees. It was my first time to see them lift off and fly a distance.. they are a delightful bird.

I have a question, there is a big (I think) wasp nest hanging high up on a tree at one of the sites I go to, I watched it the other day swaying in the wind. It is big, how do they suspend it and with what?

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

Make a point of smiling, it relaxes the face and can alter your brain and body chemistry, It can also have a positive effect on the way people react to you.

frost – musing

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,
