Friday
For days I basically dragged myself around, my attention span was that of a gnat … did you know that these little insects besides being a bother.. can bite, (they feed on blood) (biting midges)
I mentioned the other day that I had returned to the “bush” and spent some time in the dense overgrowth… pruning back, and clearing areas that were getting too dense to walk clear of wet prickly vegetation.. it was time well spent, but I was exhausted from the effort.. when I finally sat still .. my body had something to say about my activities.
Well dear reader… my body decided enough was enough, and took my mind off of wandering the woodlands. It allowed me to feel its opinion..I started to sniffle, sneeze, ear blocked, I felt a cold sore coming on.. and then it struck with the symptom it knew I was not going to enjoy,, chills, Let’s just say, my body does not have a sense of humour.
I’ve been practicing a lot of C A L M …. the rip van winkle kind.
How are you doing? Did you experience any of that thunderstorm we had the other night. Do you know we still had hail around one of the flower beds yesterday afternoon.
/all in all, today is a brand new day. Sun is out.. what adventure will it bring my way?

Monday
I took this one day… while I stood in an empty parking lot, looking up . I was suddenly visited by a passing bird. These birds have a wonderful way of soaring across open skies drifting on currents.
I woke up today, thinking, I should go back to the parking lot..not that the bird will magically reappear … but to touch base with the woman I was when I went to that same part of the forest every day for almost 10 years. (maybe more)
Don’t know about you. but years have worn something down in me. I can’t yet define what that exact change is.. but I know…deep down inside, that there is a part of me that no longer, sees “life” the same way.
Over the years I have said goodbye to so many of my dearest and closest friends…. FB keeps sending us reminders, memories… it’s fun, sometimes.. but… really…. today… this moment… now… this is where I am and what I have to deal with …
i.e. I just had a moment of wishing that could still hit a key and a word would underline.. anyone else remember that function. It was a common feature, we had it in all word processing software./features. Not now. Some “genius” who probably never wrote for a living or loved using the written word to communicate… decided, he/she seldom used that feature, so obviously the rest of the world didn’t need it either.
and please, don’t get me started on the # of people in the world who can’t really read or write properly .. never mind.. how to do simply addition.
oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.. time to find my way down to the car and a patch of woodland….. have a good day everyone.. here is your thought for the day
Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement…
If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for the short comings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.

came across this picture… couldn’t look away. I think the heat waves we’ve had this summer…. have influenced me. I am totally enamoured with the vibe ….

Let’s pray for World Peace. Pray for the happiness of those around us.

Hello, bom dia… it was nice to be out enjoying fresh air and open skies. too often animals are kept in human made cages that keep them in buildings eating man made products instead of being out in the open air, grazing. Drove for miles yesterday on back roads, passing dozens of farms and farmland. Not a grazing animal in sight.
To be fair I do live in a populated province and myself live in a major city in the country, however, I made the effort to drive away from the city and populated suburbs and city sprawl.
I am a believer that we need to spend more time keeping in touch with nature’s healing energy. Can you spend a day away from your cell phone, a computer/television and/or electronic gadgets?

Some days come and go in a blur. With the heat wave we have been experiencing in Eastern Canada… thoughts drift to cooler times.
No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turnout. Do your best and see how it plays out.
