where am I, who am I, what am I doing here ?

Ever find yourself wondering … why you are walking down a certain street, at a certain time? Looking into a storefront window, find yourself contemplating what it all means?

So many stories can be woven when we stop to really look at where we are, and what we are seeing, The following is something I’ve copied for you, it was translated from Japanese, so please take that into consideration when you are reading it.. (the translator speaks little English)

[Lack of expression] If you don’t express what you notice and leave it as it is, you will end up becoming a person who doesn’t notice. “Things that bother you a little, things that you wonder about, things that you wonder about” are expressed simply as you notice when you notice them.

I will think on this quote today, yesterday I had plenty of time to notice things as la belle Bon and I explored the little waterfront town we had driven to .. there was a lot that interested me, many places sent my imagination into over drive. It is a tourist area, there is a lot to take in and see. The last year and a half has been difficult on the shop owners, slowly with the lifting of restrictions, there is a hum happening, I hope that we have one of our wonderful Ontario falls, so that more people will visit.

my view from the table where we lunched.

Today’s quote from the PL calendar.

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

woody woodpecker

My first glimpse of a woodpecker at the feeders. I did my best to be patient, to wait, be ready, but he/she was having none of it.

I even went away and came back.. nope. This morning, the young blue jays were less cautious, when the peanuts (the few there were) were offered, once they realized the little chippies were going to take them all, they bravely came forward.

I’m happy to report that I’ve started to see the crows again, not many, but one here and there.. I have missed them and look forward to their return.

What is “Normal” is different for each individual. everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It’s important to understand others’ feelings.

my morning encounter

meet my new “friends”

We are all wonderful in our own way. Although results are important, your effort is what is truly precious

I’m testing out a new feeder. Although after seeing what the racoons can do… I now know why so many of my feeders last year got demolished. Guess I will have to plan for the next winter season, rethink the kind of feeders I will need ..

will see if this bicycle feeder will hold up…=^_^=

PS.. last winter I’d arrive to find the feeders looking like a cyclone had gone through. Now I have a better idea of just how they got turned over, ripped apart etc. As cute as these racoons are… those little hands and their cunning I think can do a lot of damage.

The past leads to Now and Now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each One.
Perfect Liberty 2021.11

The excitement of life comes from expressing your individuality, To live each moment to the fullest, it is important HOW you live each moment. always live with Makoto (sincerity).

It is important to find one’s own happiness, Happiness begins in one’s Self! Practice positive self expression.

dining in/out

a hopeful dinner at the feeders (NumOttawa)

It is a treat to get out these days, for so long our restaurants were not open, then it was only the patios, now there is more choice. Not all hospitality business’s made it through the last 1.5 plus year. I have begun to think of the coming winter season. Currently in our area, we are experiencing very high heat, we’ve had weather alerts almost every other day, if not every day. When my sister lives in the States, they have had fires to content with, air quality a serious matter.

For the sake of others, society , and world peace. Always live keeping in mind everything you do is for the sake of others, society and World Peace.

I was asked the other day how come I am always taking things to the “Goodwill” (charities) – over the years I have accumulated a lot of things that I no longer require .. with the passing of my husband 3 years ago, my life changed, How much one’s life changes can only be known by “living it” Fortunately due to my husband’s condition we had time to prepare, and he was able to help me make decisions that prepared me for this “journey” I’m on now.

Every time I take something away, yes it is perfectly still good, or it was never used, I remind myself that I don’t need it, and there are people out there that can make use of whatever it is I’m passing along.

There was a song I don’t remember it well enough to find it again, but it was about, a woman who saved her best “lingerie” for that special occasion, and then, tragedy struck and there was no need for the “lingerie”… you get my drift…. life is to be lived, and it is not material things that create happy.

..yesterday I heard a friend sing. I never knew he sang, but sing he did… it was fun and he performed it well, it brought smiles, it was a feel good performance. I learned something new about my friend, that he had the confidence and the willingness to do something so different from his usual presentation was inspiring, His audience loved it.. it brought smiles. He made people smile, what a gift.

I love learning something new about a friend, it encourages me to be a better person myself, friendships are treasures to be cherished.

Material things hold no value, unless it is something you want .. need and use. Friendships on the other hand, are priceless, and enrich our lives in forever ways.

Ms Rabbit & friends

this little guy was waiting for me at Mer Bleue

these bandits came as soon as the sunflower seeds hit the ground

for some reason the camera is acting finicky… half of the pictures taken the other day were not focused properly, I recall having trouble with the adjustments at the time.. of course its when I get home and upload them that I see just how wonky some of them turned out. The blue jays don’t strike me as being crisp… but.. and I do see the little chippy.

happy faces

silly me, really, silly me

a funny face is what I saw

those eyes and silly smile

made me lips twitch into a wicked grin

I felt the sparkle in my eyes.

and right away I knew

a page had turned

a new chapter has begun

even the story line has changed

yet in truth, the goal is the same

Nature has been making a gradual change

I can smell the changes in the air

hear it in the chatter of the birds

and the nattering of the squirrels and chipmunks

for sure, with each passing day

this current season is in its final run

the anticipation of what is to come

is reflected in the silly faces
