look out

Did yesterday even happen? Yes it did. Was I present for it, sort of. When I first saw this picture I was taken with what a magnificent view it offered. The water below the lush vegetation for miles around. I very much wanted to experience the walk out to the end of the look-out, of course since it is miles and miles away in another part of the world it won’t happen in this lifetime. But.. I could dream, and dream I did, I let myself imagine the air, the breeze, the smells.

Have a “Let’s do it” attitude. Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by God and accomplish it.

Take the first step with determination. A wishy washy attitude will not help you get a good start on things. The minute you make up your mind to do something, things will start moving forward.

I woke before 4 a.m. this morning. I let the dogs out and went back to bed but couldn’t sleep, I had on my mind something I wanted to do, and I knew that since I had an early morning appointment, what I wanted to do would not get done till much later in the day. Lying reasoning with myself it was just too early to get up, but the nagging feeling of wanting to get what I wanted done, didn’t abate .. I got up.

It has been a productive couple of hours.. it will be interesting to see how the rest of the day will be. Meanwhile, you have yourself a great day! Be productive, efficient and effective in all you do!

Thought we could do with a different climate and geography (if you , like me live in a part of the world where we are going into Winter.)

Let’s begin today with a smile. Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover.

Listening

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.

cold day

The forecast said cold, blistering winds and a possible 1.5 inches of snow. While I was out, the snow seemed to be on its way, but there were no signs of it., the sky was that cold gray that often is an indicator — but.. luck held… while in the woodland, it didn’t make an appearance.

Different story when I came out of my last destination. The parking lot was clear and dry, but 1/2 hour later when I came out.. my car was completely covered and people leaving were having to make time to clear their cars before driving away. Someone didn’t have her brush/scraper with her… I was sure I had put one in the car, but if I did, I wasn’t finding it. It was time to do what needed to be done, I used my arm and hands…. thankfully I wasn’t far from home. As soon as I got out of the car, I found the scraper and brush and put them on the back seat. !!! done!!!

You gain strength through your hardships. Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.

All the summer vegetation is gone, once again we can see the forest floor and see through and beyond the shrubs and trees that line the roadway. I watched hoping to catch a glimpse of a wild turkey or two. Didn’t linger long.. the cold was creeping into my bones.

upside down

When what is right is not where it belongs

Tell me that again will you.. did you say what I think I heard,

or did you explain and I wasn’t listening – sometimes I do hear the words, but what they say to me, and what they are trying to convey – well. there is a discrepancy .. not sure what it is. but I know there is a disconnect. right side up, or upside down, makes no matter if the chatter is simply noise spoken into the wind.

Be a person who can say “I like it!” Find what moves you the most and express your appreciation.

a day in the woods

I posted these yesterday, but wanted to use them again today, why.. I stood for some time at the bridge looking at those two logs.. wondering how they got there, and if I wanted to move them.. errr.. it was a thought, I didn’t attempt to move them. They were wrapped in a light icing of ice… and I didn’t have on my Bogs (water boots) … eepps I can hear and see the fingers pointing, honest it was just a thought I did not attempt in any way shape or form to move the logs.. it will have to wait till spring now =^_^=

The fungus on the tree was another moment in time. I wanted to pull out my chair (it was in the trunk of my car) sit and just visit with the display. The fungi was growing out in a number of places on the one trunk. There was such a variety of shapes and colour patterns. Life is so colourful and textured!

The log end, I want to see its progress over the winter, how it will pretty up as the snow and ice build on it. Right now.. what little snow is there .. may or may not stay depending on the weather we get in the next while. However the ground does seem to be already settling into “frozen” mode.

Be free of your attachments. If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible.

Will the day ever come when I will not marvel at how wonderful the world is we live in. I hope not.

soon

As the season’s change, the summer sun begins to fade , the nights get cooler, and the mornings are slow to reappear. Darkness comes early and fades later… meanwhile, life in the human lane keeps trucking along adjusting to what ever challenges/opportunities come along. Some adventures we handle better than others. But handle them we must.

Sometimes, it is just hearing your friend’s voice at the other end of the line, or getting a responding text that will ease the “pain” “discomfort” of the moment.. honestly we are lost without our friends… I woke this morning with a shocking pain that ran up both legs. talk about being wide awake in seconds. Yes I have been up and around, doing and doing, winter is on its way, and things need doing. Unfortunately for me, the spirit may have been willing, but the body was “not amused” This morning it reported it’s unhappiness with some of my recent decisions it a very compelling way. I had no choice but to listen… it was a severe reprimand.

If you have ever experienced a muscle/tendon spasm, you know of what I speak. My body didn’t just give me one spasm in one leg, no, it gave me the full treatment to both legs, crippling me without mercy until I was able to find the spray that would freeze and shock the tissues into relenting and letting up. Good morning to me!!!! Guess who will be behaving all day today!

Express your appreciation with enthusiasm. Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development.

Ok. that means, that yes it was an unpleasant experience, but I appreciate that my body is telling me of my delinquent attention to it’s needs. I will show my appreciation by listening to my body, and my friends who have all been telling me, “you are doing too much, too soon!!!!” Practice patience… repeat after me, practice patience… practice patience……

To my wonderful friends who have been listening to me, helping me and scolding when I need reminding, thank YOU….

changes

Change your mind, thinking “it will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached.

So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storms of life and lived – or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?
Hunter S Thompson

To be great – you must be mindful of nine things: To SEE beyond where you look. To LISTEN beyond what you hear. To be GENTLE in judgement. To be RESPECTFUL in manners. To be TRUE to your word. To take PRIDE in your work. To ASK when in doubt. To think of the CONSEQUENES when angry. To think of JUSTICE and fairness when accepting an advantage.
Confucius

What – its cold

Can you see cold? certainly I could feel it. When I went out it had begun to hail, hard white crystals of snow/ice were falling.

My Nikon was not impressed.. Needless to say the trip to the woodlands was postponed.

Enjoy the moment while you wait. things come about when they are meant to happen, think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome.
