‘NOW” is always the start of something new
Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.
Today I am doing something “new” I have booked a FST session at Movati (Fascial Stretch therapy). Want to know what that is https://youtu.be/Zvjy2muf35U?si=xOGv-c6pm5-5UB3M
Till soon.

Booooo hoooooo it is no longer light when I get up. Fall is officially here. Not crazy about the darkness, but love that fall is here and all the wonders of nature that begin to emerge.

Wow… thank you everyone for all the BD wishes… Not gonna let me forget are you… I’ve had so many over the years. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to them. I even got an invite from Movatti (health club) I am entitled to one of their very special shakes from the health bar.. I will take them up on that, Since my return after an absence of 7 years, I have not sampled their new offerings. It is not that I try to ignore my BD, but you know… after a number of them.. we kind of… want to just acknowledge them and roll with it. As my cousin (Brian) said, September is BD month. September babies are lucky we have the most beautiful month of the year to celebrate in, I’m not alone, there are a lot of September babies.. Happy Birthday fellow Virgos. https://youtu.be/k37QvhAyA2Y?si=2-OGJ2FnBAKVLTIJ

A charity rally yesterday, bikers ready for the start of the tour. It began in Plantagenet Ontario, and was going to end with a spaghetti dinner in Alfred later in the day. The weather was awesome for the ride, good showing, and hopefully a successful event for the fund raisers.
A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.
When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face. (PL2014.15)
There is a sense of freedom when you ride a bike that I’ve been unable to replicate over the years. I’ve toured before, years ago now, but the feelings that I acquired from the rides has never gone away, I still smile when I see another rider on a touring bike go by. Noted yesterday although there were a lot of couples who rode together on the same bike. Many of the ladies had their own ride. THAT was a pleasure all on its own. I was given riding lessons MANY years ago for my birthday… but I was never brave enough to follow through. I liked being a passenger. =^_^= Spent many happy hours on a Honda Gold Wing.. and a Tiger (Triumph)
Cheers everyone.. make today a day of SMILES…

Many of the riders were from the Hawkesbury Harley Davidson club… sorry there were too many bikers to get a full picture of all participants and the various clubs that participated. If anyone knows or has information, please let me know. There were all makes and models of bikes there.

Remember how you felt in the beginning.
Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh. (PL2015.14)

Good morning… the cooler weather in the mornings is refreshing. the quiet on the bog is deceiving, the other day I thought I was alone, there were no cars in the parking areas as I drove by. Out of my car, I didn’t even see the doves.. the blue jays came when the peanuts were served, otherwise, it seemed usually quiet. I looked up into the trees to see if there was a bird of prey in the area.. but .no.. it was just quiet. I knew the turkeys were down by the farm, I saw them when I drove past.. they would be headed up my way, they had started to chase after my car… so I knew they would arrive.. but… I still found it unusually quiet…
As I walked away from the feeding area.. towards the boardwalk and the water, I could sense I was being watched…It was such a surprise.. cuz I knew .. just knew… there was a pair of eyes, watching me. As I strolled past the first path leading off to the right, I heard a rustle of leaves… I turned slowly towards the sound and saw that there was movement away from me, the lower branches on the bushes were still slightly swaying.. Was it the groundhog, no he knows me and would have come to the feeder area. Then I remembered the mother racoon and her wee ones, they had been around the other day… but no.. she would have just gone up to nosh on the fresh offerings in the dining area.
Slowly I turned back towards the water, and moved on… one of the pleasures of having the woodlands to myself, is that I may not actually see the other visitors to the area I’m wandering in.. but I know they are there. and… eventually the visitor will make itself known if it stays around… I’m there every day, 365 days of the year… I am learning from the animals.. not to rush, to take my time… to always listen and be aware of my surroundings. IF not now, maybe another time, when it is “right” it will happen,
