Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is. (PL2014.5)

We are experiencing a deep freeze here.. there will be several days with minus degree weather, there is a lot of hope that this year the longest skating ring (Rideau Canal) will be operational. Warnings are going out tho’….. Please stay off the ice till the barriers are removed. Crews are still working on the ice…. should be an exciting Ice Sculpture contest this year!!!

Stay warm and safe… this is cold/flu season … if you are not feeling well, stay home.. with the dipping temperatures, and humidity… the bacteria/virus’s will have a field day! Time to bring out the down … and put the kettle on for ginger tea..!

waiting

I didn’t see her at first… she stood so still…

Once I caught the glimpse of her waiting patiently, I couldn’t “not” see her

My first intention was to just grab a picture … then I thought I’d clean it up, take away the tree she stood behind. In the spring when the tree begins to leaf out, she will be hidden from view again. I might still do that, meanwhile, I wanted to share her… She obviously has been there for some time. I wonder at the stories she could tell.

Awww … someday… I’ll stop and …. Another mystery to unravel when time and inclination strike again…

Today Monday the 30th. there is one day left in the year 2024. Are you ready for a new year, another 365 days of adventures, new opportunities, new friends…

Use your results to make the next time even better

Whether “things” turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the next time.

NB* the Chinese new year (lunar calendar) this year will be January 29 2025, ending Feb. 16.2026 – it will bring with it, wisdom, agility and strategic foresight. If you know your sign already, this year it will be the wood snake. The wood snake year may bring some challenges in career and finances, stay positive and flexible to overcome setbacks.. Focus and health, avoid negativity and you will handle the year with confidence and success.

A visit to the Sahara, Marrakech and a peek at Chefchaouen

With the white world around us at the moment, those wishing for a white Xmas this year, got their wish. And, with the deep freeze we had for a couple of days there is hope that the longest skating rink in the world will open this year. So saying, when these pictures came in from one of our “world” travellers.. I wanted to share.. the picture lower left … had me wondering why a carpet is rolled up against the outer door? Could it be there for prayers… I have other pictures to share of the blue doors found in that part of Africa… watch for them. Isn’t the brave little flower delightful. Hope you are all having a wonderful end of the year…

*** If you face a situation head on, a Path will open up ***

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. Make today, a memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

There was a picture I saw of our “traveller” riding a camel across the desert. it “almost” had me calling CAA for travel arrangements.. then I remembered, cold or extreme heat.. I like cool and cold. the memory of that time in Japan during one of their “heat waves” flashed across my gray matter… I’ll continue to be an arm chair traveller… cheers everyone! See you on Dan’s page,, he is on hiatus till Jan.9.25.. but have a look. https://nofacilities.com/2024/12/26/just-in-case-3/#comment-377595

shortest day!

Not only will it be the shortest day of the year.. weather is predicted to be 7 degrees colder than yesterday. Bundle up! enjoy the crispness in the air… have a joy filled day! Why? because you deserve it!

A thankful person will grow as an individual

When you are able to have a thankful attitude, you will be blessed with good intuition and more enthusiasm, which will continue to move things in a positive direction.

Saturday

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.

Thursday

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored.

When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy you will naturally begin to feel that way.

The gateway to happiness lies within your reach. It is always open to you, you simply have to know that happiness begins within, Always be yourself, don’t try to be someone you aren’t.


Have you used a stapler lately, mine ran out out of staples, and for a few minutes.. I actually wondered what was wrong with it.. then I had to scramble to remember where the replacements were.!!! finally found, I had a bit of a chuckle as I looked at the stapler to determine how to put the replacements in. Like duh, this was such an easy fix … thankfully I have a “junk” drawer in my office for items seldom used, BUT could be useful one day… Have you used a stapler lately?

Accept Everything

Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and a times, inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
