There is something captivating about seeing the trees shake off the winter pallor and begin their transformation — soon tiny buds will adorn the waking branches… you can feel the anticipation in the cool crisp morning air.

When I need to regroup, find my balance, my calm… this is where I go.. the quiet, the bliss.. ahhhhh
Geese flying overhead, their honking a reminder that spring has arrived. the tapping of one of the resident woodpecker drumming out his determined search for food. All wrapped around me surrounding me in the comforting embrace of nature’s embrace. I’d come home!
I felt strong enough to venture down the trail, it was a beautiful day, still early enough that I had the whole acreage to myself.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.
For many weeks I have been sidelined by a “health issues” that kept me away, it was so therapeutic to once more be under clear blue skies, my feet walking along the well worn path. Nature is healing. It is gift that we so often overlook and take for granted.
Have a good start to the week everyone!

Have a peaceful day.. surround yourself with the joy filled natural world around you. Let love be the mainstay of your day.

Happiness is found when we make time for discovering the world around us… away from busy hectic noises and frantic energy from negative activities and action.
When was the last time you took time to “stop and smell the roses”?

Bleak overcast, dull skies, off and on rain, eventually one has to say enough is enough. I find I’m not interested in the many dramas, cheating, killings, negative presentations on the telly. So I took to the internet and found myself a colourful landscape with little critters wandering around. Flowers in bloom everywhere.. little birds flying from branch to branch. Much more relaxing.
My avatar who worked this photo opportunity was happy to get her hair redone, new outfit to wear… all in all a productive few hours.
How about you, I’ve been catching up on my reading, I’m blessed with fabulous bloggers who live all over the world and share stories of life in their part of the Universe with colourful photos and brilliant writing. Due to my recent medical “issue” I’ve gotten way behind in my admin part of my “writing”… However, I have been reading and enjoying.. forgive my lack of immediate response.
Lately I have been totally captured by an Ai. artist who is producing and putting out Soul Blues .. he/she is all over FB and Instagram. I have mixed feelings about how fast Ai is appearing everywhere in my world. Just seems impossible to avoid it. I will leave a sample of his work at the end of this post.
Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

Another day beings
A season ends
Spring season will bring new possibilities
There will be new trails, and roads to travel
This moment will never come again, don’t squander it.

When we see something but can’t get to it easily. Do you persist at trying to get to where you want to go, from the exact same place you are standing, or do you try another avenue., Do you consider other alternatives? Do you ask yourself the question, “is it important, do I really need to go, or be there?”
Every day, we are faced with having to make a decision of some kind or other. It could be a simple decision, should I jay walk or should I walk to the corner where there is a cross walk? Do I want to eat now or in half an hour? There is no one else to make those decisions for you, they are one’s you make on your own.
What we forget is that, we are responsible for our own actions. If you decide to cross where there is no cross walk or light, then you are assuming the responsibility for your actions.
The road ahead isn’t always without it’s challenges, but it will always lead us somewhere. There is always other possibilities around a corner/bend.
… always …try to start your day in a positive way….
PL Principle #3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

A minute of thought – is worth more than an hour of talk
Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward.

A wooly face that always makes me smile.
Everything that happens to you is material for growth.
Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

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.
