Thursday

Ok.. yes you’ve seen this message before… did you listen… did you consider the message?

Have you slowed down the pace of your life? I just received a very interesting video .. these days I can’t always tell if its Ai or ? because it has information that many will find useful, I’m leaving a link to it at the end of this post. Its about being an older “person”, this video is by a woman and aimed at women, but the message is important to everyone. We are all on the path that leads to “aging”.

Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves

Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.

Have a prayerful mind to love yourself and others.

Open up your heart fully when praying to God. It will help you sort out your feelings.

Living with cats has been a new adventure for me. Even tho’ I had cats for years in a bygone day… the most recent companions over the many years (more recently) were canine. Big difference. The cats and I have had to adjust … them to an eccentric eclectic human (they were rescues) and I… well… good thing they are patient..

Tomorrow we start another month. It is also the 1st, there will be a 10 a.m. service at church.. See you there if you can make it.

a wee owl resting in the trees.

The picture has been cropped so that the location of the wee one is not easily determined. Yes I am one of the nature lovers who protects the wild life .. from onlookers who come and destroy the peace and tranquility of the woodlands …. it is unfortunate, but I have seen too many scenes of mobs who treat the wee ones like a sideshow.

Good morning everyone..

You gain strength through your hardships

Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.

PL2014.29

Please pray for world peace. These are troubled times.

Green is the colour for today – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective

The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

Active listening

Giving your whole attention to a conversation without anticipating your response. With practice you can learn to push distracting thoughts aside, and really, focus on what’s being said in the moment.

Today (actually yesterday now) I drove to Montreal’s West Island and back, did it all in half a day, I find that driving along a highway with nothing but a straight road ahead, and one disappearing in my rear view mirror, relaxing. It was a spur of the moment decision, I had been going to go, changed my mind, realizing I had a full afternoon and evening. But on waking I saw on my calendar that the city was working in the area, and I would have no water … it was being turned off .. 8 – 4 … ugh.

The day being bright, skies clear, I decided to hit the road, the gem/mineral show is on all week-end, but I knew the week-end would be a zoo. I went for many miles with no radio on… I wanted the quiet. The car is my personal space… a place where I can lock myself in and just BE. No distractions unless I want them.

There is something soothing about driving in silence. There were few cars /trucks on the road.. I didn’t question it, I enjoyed it. I took the 417 (super highway) going down, and on the way back, veered off and came by way of Hawksbury. A secondary road that goes through small communities.

My objective was to attend a warehouse sale of earth treasures, crystals, minerals, fossils and one of a kind treasures .. This vendor specializes in high quality specimens, he travels all over the world, his inventory is wonderful to experience.

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Specific mindfulness exercise can help you ease your mind and improve your every day.

Wandering down aisles of crystals, minerals from all over the world, unique fossils .. feeling the vibe from “mother earth” was “grounding”

The “Universe” will support you if you put your full makoto (sincerity) into what you do.

Have a good day everyone!

jeudi

With milder days, and the sun so much warmer on the skin… thoughts of sailing off into the sunset… start creeping in..

Soon there will be different birds in the sky, we’ll hear the honking sounds of the geese as they make their way back…

soft green shoots will start to emerge, and before we know it, the world around us will be awash in pastel colours of spring.

A bouquet for your my dears, let’s share a moment of quiet reflection, your visiting here today, made me smile.. Thank you for dropping in today, hope to see you again soon. Have a good day!

Be a messenger of Peace

Express yourself for the happiness of all people.

Bom dia!

I have saved this picture for years and years. I fell in love with this face the first time it showed up in my life. I searched out the kind of fleece, how it would felt, In those days I was sculpturing dolls/figures and wanted the fleece/roving to do hair. (Needle felting) To this day when I find the picture it makes me smile.

Please share a smile today…

Sunday

Me, myself and I…. that is who I am responsible for and to. I am so tired of hearing from people that what has happened to them, is always someone else’s fault. if he, if she hadn’t done, this, that etc. what has happened to being responsible for one’s own actions. Alright, the world isn’t always fair, but it is how we react or respond to a situation that is important. If you feel someone has done you a disservice.. you can be thankful that you found out or recognized what is or was being done. You look at the perceived negativity towards you,, and move on, it has already been done,… you can’t go back and erase what happened but you can learn from it.. and move on. Your life is just so much more important …

I started this yesterday but I was sidetracked by a body that won’t let go of a virus.. I listened, and went back to bed and stayed there, Does anyone else out there use weighted blankets?

How has the week begun for you? I hope it has been a sterling start to a brand new week.

A winter sculpture, a promise of spring and new beginnings. Smile.. Nature is a wonderful cure for anything that ails us.

If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm, By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.
