Discover the joy of transforming yourself

When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.

The other day I saw holiday decorations being put out on display in some of the shops. In the hobby/craft shops the products we need to make or do up our holiday decor has already been on the shelves for several weeks now.

Someone posted that people who decorate early for the holidays are happier…I’ve even seen the evergreen trees in some parks being prepared for their holiday decorations. We are into November, its been a beautiful warm sunny fall, However, here in this part of Canada, we have been known to have a display of winter in late October.

I’m still treasuring the glow of autumn. Hope you are too.

When you know the neighbourhood has changed!

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation.

Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Some days are better than others

some days shine brighter – some cast more shade

there are days when skies are clear

and others… well… let’s say the mood can get rather gray and dreary

yet, through it all, day or night…. when I think of you..

the world around me simply disappears…

I hear only the beating of our hearts.

Acts of respect and courtesy are refelctions of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family,people at work and around the neighbourhood.

Saturday

When was the last time you sat around doing “nothing” and didn’t feel guilty ..

There was a time when going for a drive, or to the cottage, meant getting away from the everyday “grind”… Often the cottage didn’t even have a phone… never mind a television. time was spent swimming, fishing, hiking, riding a bike through country lanes … reading under the shade of a big tree…. I remember taking the row boat out.. (no engine, you rowed) sitting in the middle of the lake and just letting it drift once I was away from shore…

I am told these days are long gone and impossible to find unless one goes far far out ..away from cities/towns. (I am also told that some lakes have banned motor boats (speed boats) … but.. I don’t know that for fact)

I left home without my cell phone the other day. Wow… I realized it was noticeable. Especially when I wasn’t driving.. stopped somewhere for any length of time… I found myself checking my pocket to see if there was something I had to respond to… and then adjusting my “habit” when I realized my cell phone was at home.. and I was “on my own”…. liberating or what!

Find a quiet place and simply – enjoy the moment –

Life is Art

Nothing is impossible when we believe- Sometimes it may take time, but … if we want something badly enough… there is always a way

Say thank you all the time, your feeling of appreciation will deepen.

Diga obrigadoo temp inteiro. O seu sentimentode gratidao aprofundara.

Rain

A gentle rain has been falling all night. It will wash the summer dust away, paving the earth with the start of a gentle decay that will kick start new beginnings…
