Start by thinking “Let’s do it!” Once you decide to do something and put your whole heart into it, things will start moving forward.

Enjoy the moments of quiet reflection when they come along … Life is a continuation of “now” … these moments will become history, and new vistas will present themselves.

Treasure each moment in time. Life is a continuation of “Now”. Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

These were taken, some time after I arrived, the fog had been so dense that it was too dark, Driving I could only see one car length ahead … fortunately I know the road, even so.. I was very cautious. My appreciation only deepens for the photographers who do this on a regular basis. If you want the pictures you have to be prepared to get up and out, so you are at where you want to be when the light is just how you want it.
It’s about being at the right place at the right time.. sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t.
Take action without thinking too hard. No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turnout. Do your best and see how it plays out.

Have a great week-end. In Canada, this week-end (Sunday) is when Daylight savings ends.
What is the pull the energy/force that gets me up and out of bed in the wee hours so I can witness the early morning mist over the bog… What guides my need to pull out the camera and shoot into the fog.
The landscape captivates and captures my imagination. I know that the dragons will rise up from the mist and soar up into the unknown to mate and play … Their positive energy and passion is a force that transcends eternity for it is not measured in time or boundaries, it simply IS…The TAO is not something one can explain, it is like the air we breathe, we don’t think of breathing, we just do…
When was the last time you stopped to “listen to your breathing”….to appreciate the regular pit pat of your heart, to take a deep breath in, hold it, enjoy with gratitude before expelling and letting it go,
Your smile is what’s needed. A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Have a great day everyone!
There is a magic that can’t be denied when you look up and see the dragon’s trail as it winds it way up and into the void that is called he Universe. His roar is silent as he soars, but the light left by his tail can be seen for miles around for those who believe.
Won’t be long now, Monday will be Hallow’s Eve. It was once a pagan festival, did you know Halloween was once a religious holiday. It is the day before All Saints’ Day, Nov.1.. Halloween was a Celtic feast called Samhain, “summer’s end”…they believed the dead could walk among the living. Christianity adopted Oct. 31 in the 11th century.
Trick or treating began in places like Ireland and Scotland where people went house to house asking for small breads in exchange of prayer. Celebrants believe that the barriers between the physical world and the spirit world break down during Samhain ( there was a revival with the popularity of Wicca in the 1980s)
Wicca celebration of Samhain takes on many forms, from the traditional fire ceremonies to celebrations that embrace many aspects of modern Halloween, as well as activities related to honoring nature or ancestors.
Wiccans look at Samhain as the passing of the year, and incorporate common Wiccan traditions into the celebration.
Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “that’s good enough” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.

and yours alone to to walk, so much to see, so much to discover.
You will meet and walk with others along the way, but no on can walk the road for you.
Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well.

“Step out of the history that is holding you back… step into the new story you are willing to create.” Orpah Winfrey
my morning face … my thinking,,. my actions…. my reaction to the moment of awareness I’m having..
Oh dear… such contrast … time to reign in the busy mind and pull myself together…. CHANGE is in the air, and I realize that I have fallen into old habits. I don’t know when, how, or why this happened, well.. yes I do.. I fell back into what was comfortable to do, ie. eat all kinds of comfort foods not because I especially wanted them but because I was lazy. they were convenient and fast. I spend more time on the doing things I like (which is good) but not if I am neglecting something else that needs doing.
Reminds me of a saying I saw in a book the other day, “above all … be the heroine of your life, not the victim” (Nora Ephron)
Here is another good one… “owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it” Brene Brown.
PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive
It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what is in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

There is no denying that a new season has arrived. The leaves with the rain that we’ve just had will be dropping more then they have been. In the forest there has been the soft sound of continuously falling leaves, as they flutter to the earthen floor. I was in the right place at the right time yesterday as I drove down Ridge Road towards the parking for Mer Bleue Bog.
Praying before taking action changes the outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

For some reason i thought yesterday was Thursday and did my door post yesterday, if you are looking for the link to the weekly Door feature, here it is.. https://nofacilities.com/2022/10/27/new-old-doors/
also note.. I have now tried the CBD roll on for my arthritis in the fingers/thumb joint, with the compression glove and it does provide some relief… but I still (after a couple of days of raking etc.) needed the heavy duty pain med (over counter) from the pharmacy to sleep. As you all know.. evenings.. night time, is when flare ups can be a real nuisance.
What is it when the mind just won’t stop.. so many thoughts, so much information, so many “things” needing attention, There comes a time when the constant traffic of ideas, thoughts, conversations, tasks, to do lists, and just plain chatter … gets to be too much. Self preservation, turn off. Slow down. Walk away, take a deep breath, shut the door!
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
PL Precept # 17 Grasp what is most essential
PL Precept # 5 One’s Self, is lost by being emotional.
Chill. Easy to say, but hard to do. Sometimes we need to remember we should close one door before opening another. Or find an entry that is open and inviting, leading to endless possibilities.
How much can we hide behind a closed door? or…. in closing a door, we keep out negative energy, or do we, we can never escape the realities of our own thoughts.
Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.
