Change is in the air … “the only constant in life… is change”.
Strive to Overcome obstacles by changing your mind frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things. The outcome is in your hands.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who reached out and wished me a happy birthday. That is a huge positive in one’s journey when we are blessed with the kindness and thoughtfulness of others. Special hugs to you, filled with appreciation and gratitude.

Got up .. too bad, so sad, no more place… guess it must be time to get up, Bed Pals .. or maybe today they are Bed Hogs. Whippets doing what they do best. Velcro on the right is 16 years old, Keeper is 11 give or take a day ….Usually wonderful companions.. and stay on their own side … but… this morning for some reason, they wanted more space, They are both watching to see what my intentions will be.. I was gracious and let them lie… (had to get up anyway it was 5 a.m. and still pitch black outside.. sigh…)
The Path to Achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
Bring sunshine into someone’s life today, say “hello” share a “smile”
um pouco mais?
Leaves have started to change, there is a new nip to the air that hints that it won’t be long, already the days are shorter. When I wake up now, 5 ish, it is still dark outside. There are still pesky mosquitos lingering, but soon I am hoping to see the last of them.. man they are annoying.
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions. (always a work in progress for me)
How is your start to a week-end? Hopefully you will enjoy not only good weather but some of the fall fairs and concerts that are happening around the city.
Your willingness to learn will make you shine even brighter. As long as you are motivated to learn more, you will continue to progress in life.

Be creative in your efforts. If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on

Wow!
Enjoy these last days of summer, last night I heard a Halloweens tune at a concert I was at. Already there are signs the leaves are starting to change in places. This morning temperatures are more seasonal, in the 50’s.. Oh Oh OH OH pumpkins and goblins will soon be the theme of the day. You all know me, maybe I’ll find another crow for my indoor decor… LOL.. I can see some cringing happening out there… no I guess the turkey vulture I got last year that sits on the top of my cabinet in the living room looking down on guests can hold center stage for now..
I must say I find it truly amazing how newcomers to my “welcome room” are very discreet as they take in the eyes boring down on them. I tell you honestly, none comment, although, I note they don’t look up often. Will I ever grow up and out of this silly quirk of mine, likely not…Like a good wine, I’ll improve with “age” ..
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. There are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.

here is another quote..
Always pray to become a better person. If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time.

I was asked the other day,” how does one pray, what do you mean by pray”…. that is a very difficult question to answer in one sentence .. and it can’t be the same answer for everyone. Prayer is a very personal expression/action… we all are different in how we approach life and our way of dealing with life’s opportunities. I see prayer as a way of connecting with my inner SELF. and for ME… I believe that I am ONE with the Universe… so being in the moment, and taking time to sit quietly and BE in the moment with Makoto (sincerity) in my intent… some call it meditation… Prayer and Meditation are words.. it is the act of Being ONE with your inner Self.

Acceptance
Here I sit day after day, helping people make their way through another day.
Does anyone ever see me, can anyone relate to what it is to be ignored in every way.
Did you know that once I was a seed, and then I grew into a full grown tree.
Oh, I felt so free, my limbs reached to the sky.
In spring I would grow these beautiful leaves that would stay with me all through summer and most of the fall.
I had a multitude of visitors that would come to take shelter of just sit a spell, and share the day with me
All the changed for me, when one day someone noticed how strong and tall I was…
I felt so proud, I preened and spread my arms even wider.
To my shock and dismay, I was cut to the ground, my beautiful bark was ripped from my body and I was laid bare.
Oh this is a beauty I heard it exclaimed, then to my horror I was passed through a mechanical monster who cut me into pieces.
I was shipped with others who had met my fate into a large open space where we lay stripped of our dignity and actually ignored
What was my future to be, I heard the talk, in the yard I was in, I could become part of a floor, a wall, I was no longer a tree, I had become an object to be used.
Then one day, I was shipped off to an area that was filled with tall trees and vegetation .. I was back in the woods where I could hear and see the birds and animals who used to visit with me, I was so happy….
Here I was cut up again, so parts of me lay in one place and another further down the way, I was going to be part of a walkway that cut across an expanse of land called a bog.
I was going to be useful again, I was going to be able to feel the wind, and all the wonderful elements of nature again.
I soon realized that it wasn’t like being a tree where I stood tall reaching for the heavens, where people would gaze at me in wonder at my strength and beauty and take shelter under my many limbs when the sun got too hot, or if the rains were too unrelenting.
No, I was a convenience, and many never even glanced at me or my beautiful markings.. some even took pleasure in trying to disfigure me.
I’ve grown old, you can see the tired lines in my face. If you look even closer, you will see the acceptance of my fate.
Thank you for listening to my story, if even one of you looks kindly on one of my peers, then my life has not been in vain.
Should you come visit, I hope to still be around, I may have a couple of seasons left in me.. who knows.. life is what it is after all, I have lived a good life, .. and look I got to share some time with you today, so its a good day!
*as told to Q on a hot summer day...
Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

Are you happy
Are you caught in an in-between world. Do you find that you are often thinking of what was, or wondering what happened to?
Do you find yourself watching movies or made for television series that have you lost in another person’s world/fantasy.?
Are there moments when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders.?
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.

church and manse
I was waiting for a friend to call … flicking through recorded programs on the telly I saw a program that I had saved, but had not an inkling why. It was a period piece, along the lines of Jane Austin… (if that means anything to you..) Not usually my cup of tea, but since I only had so much time, I switched it on. What different times. It called to mind the church that I would drive past on my way to Cornwall, it also has its own small cemetery (full of history.)
My husband and I would always remark on the ambiance and grandeur of this church. In its time it would have serviced all the farms and communities for miles around.(It was one of his favourite churches, we often stopped in their parking lot, next to a recreation yard they had, to let the dogs stretch their legs) During covid, I stopped at the church and spoke the minister that is there now.. Times have changed… ,,,drastically. I wrote about it at the time, he was putting up a big screen, parishioners would come on Sundays during covid to watch and partake of the service in their cars. He had erected and was putting final touches to a huge screen… beside and off a little was a recording booth. When there is a will there is a way.

Express straight away once you’ve found it “great” Proactively express about others’ goodness. It feels great to be told so, even about things you already know.

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..

Can you see the ducks? Perfect camouflage, Sometimes in life, just because we don’t see something, it does not mean it is not there. When we practice being in the NOW … living each moment, taking our time in dealing with whatever situation comes our way… it is amazing how much clearer our situation /experience can be to us.
Today’s calendar quote is
Make the best use of Materials and Money. You can do different thigs as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.
