Some days we just need more time…Like what is the rush….
Be in tune with the feelings of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.

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

“When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market place, let the spirt in you move your lips and direct your tongue ” (the Prophet, Kahlil Gibran)
Happiness is … finding that the Evening Grosbeaks have come to dine. I have learned to really appreciate the wonderful talents of photographers like Dan (Dan Cadieux) who can patiently wait in the cold for just the right moment to capture a moment in time that you may or may never see again. Dan’s photos are simply put … awesome.. https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography/ his photos are works of art… I asked if he could capture part of the group that had gathered to feed.. and he did.. he is a walking “wonder” et voila…. I got this in my morning mail. Brightened the day! Thank you Dan!
Help the people around you smile more. Always strive to make those around you smile. That will bring you joy too.

There is a quote from a book called the Prophet – “speaking of talking – you talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; and when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly” ..(the Prophet, Kahlil Gibran)
Dan also has a website…https://www.dancadphotography.com/blog/
There is a quiet that transcends all else when you can stand in the middle of the forest and simply take in the moment. The birds are eating .. they are busy off in the distance, the snow is still falling, you are alone on the trail, everything is fresh and covered in a blanket of white. I love these moments… it was true, roads were a mess, driving wasn’t the best… but.. all of you at one time or another has had such moments where you have simply been awed by nature and her all encompassing beauty.
Start today with a fresh outlook. Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

It was cold enough that there was a layer of ice on the water. I was the only human there, it was a delightful walk, I was able to take my time and just wander in and out off the main trail.
Of course it wasn’t long before I heard the sound of voices coming up behind me. I moved over to let the people by, I didn’t want to be rushed. I took my time and walked all the way to the ruins of the old Kiln. The trail continued on to another entrance off another road… from the signs I could see it would be a long jaunt. I’ll do it another time. I got my two miles in, and that was my aim.
Good morning it is now very early 16th. and we’ve had a blanket of snow… I will be leaving soon to see what kind of pictures I can get after I feed the birds. Have a good day everyone… Today’s calendar quote follows.
Have a joyful day by being a little more creative. You will enjoy your day more by adding a little creativity to your daily activities.

“I wanted to be home,” he said.. …we both smiled because of course we both knew he had never left my side.
“Listening is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity) ” PL 2022.15
Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully
Listen with “full presence” Be in the moment.
Bom dia
When you face difficulties .. start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something that you can do.

We can see crows everywhere these days, they are gathering along the roads I travel, I see them in the trees, I hear them… Their calls, and greetings fill the air … Mornings are filled with their chatter. At the feeders yesterday the evening grosbeaks were singing, how can one not rejoice at the sound of such “community” spirit. Actually it wasn’t just the Grosbeaks, the Blue jays, Doves, Chickadees, Nuthatches, and the Woodpeckers were all enjoying the start of a new day… the pesky squirrels needed to join in.. no one wanted to be left out.
When it is just you and the moment you are in. When the calling of the sea gulls and the questioning crows is the sounds that you hear. Off in the distant horizon where one would usually see a big steamer slowly making its way down the channel, there is nothing but emptiness. This was a time for quiet reflection… I actually parked myself down on one of the benches and just enjoyed. (this was a memory from 2017)
The leaves are gone now, but yesterday was spent touring one of the X country ski trails that doe a loop near where I have the bird feeders. This is done to check for big roots that could be dangerous on the trail, hanging branches that are too close to where people will be skiing/walking/running… trees that are leaning over and could prove to be dangerous should they topple.
Being in Nature is one of the easiest ways for me to “chill”… to loose myself in the shadows and the intrigue of the forest itself. WE all have different ways of finding what “works” for us.. Whatever it is that reaches in and connects with you… try to find some time in your day to enjoy that “space” It is important to our “well being” … to find time to regenerate…recharge…
Today is the 11th. in PL. it is a special day where we have service (ceremony) each 11th of the month to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for guidance so we can continue to live the PL Way. I also make time during the service to do special prayers for all that have asked for and that require special prayers. YOU are all part of my day… service will begin at 10 a.m.
Today is also a day of remembrance – in Canada we call it Remembrance Day in the USA I believe it is called Veterans Day… Silence is observed at 11 a.m.
You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. we are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.
