My two handsome brutes are back… they are out for a morning stroll, looking to see who else is around. I was overjoyed when we met up. They remembered me and came to say hello.. ask me if I was “over the moon”.
My other wonderful find this week was a surprise I got when I went into the ladies at the church. Yoshiko was in Japan recently to bring Zak, Ashley and Alex to Canada ( their school break) so they could see first hand where their parents are living .. not much of winter left, but they did get to see snow.. you can see it is still around here.
Ta Da!!!! a toilet seat cover.. ingenious… seems they use them in Japan, not because of the cold, but the heat!!!!! Who knew!
Life is full of wonderful moments. Isn’t it.
A friend took me around to show me his creative endeavours, he is a huge Prince fan, he has built a museum, nightclub and picture gallery in Second Life to showcase the artists work. This has been done over the years, and introduced me to a singer I knew little of. Artists who work with the software and technology of the gaming world add a whole new dimension to the every day world ..
A thankful heart leads to happiness
When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for; the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

I would like to say Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart to all who have written me over the years telling me how much you enjoy this blog and the philosophy shared. The other day I found a section in the format that had stored many many wonderful comments and feedback that for whatever reason, I did not see, or even know were there. I responded . finally.. some were over a year plus old. I apologize.
Welcome another day. The path to achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. this will pave the way for achievement.
Spring is in the air, the red wing blackbird was amongst the breakfast crowd yesterday morning, as well as the very vocal pileated woodpecker.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.
Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.
They say seeing an owl is a good omen*. I saw the gray the other day as large as life, he was looking down at a photographer who was busy taking photos of him. I was a tad too far to get a good enough picture, but had this one Louis sent me the other day. What must this great bird think of the humans who stand out in the field everyday, pointing their arms up towards him with the big round glass objects. I wonder if he considers them at all.. are they a curiosity. Will never know will I.
I have seen the Barred Owl up close and personal, would be interesting to see the two in close proximity. The weather has turned mild, but then .. this is March and this is Ottawa, we could be basking in spring like weather, only to be visited by a wild, angry winter storm stamping and growling its way out of the region. Best get on my way… Have a good day everyone.
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking
There are different points of view and ways of thinking, which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.

… for those interested in the dryer saga.. there is now a new compact dryer installed and operational.. almost had to deal with another refusal on the removal of the old one, but thanks to caring delivery personnel, the old one was taken away,
We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders, and the work of our predecessors. Above all kindness for others is the best way to give back.
PengLai is a fairyland above the clouds, where you can see ancient Chinese art, culture, architecture, furniture, paintings, and decorations. Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and music.
I started my day with a journey inworld (Second Life) where I could take in the ancient wonder of old China, and do my meditation in the clouds.
Live expressing your own unique self in your day to day life.
We each are given our own duties and roles in life. Take the time to find what makes you unique, and you will be able to live your life expressing your own individual beauty.
If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful. Cheerful and happy people attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude,.
In the beginning love holds so much promise. It takes work and dedication for a relationship to flourish. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts. It doesn’t help to over think situations … be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.
Be true to yourself. but be aware of how others feel, be open to listening to another’s thoughts…. be willing to discuss, and consider all options.
