Wednesday

I always come home from a different direction, the other day, I came from the west end of the city, which meant that I saw a part of my yard I don’t usually see. Look! I had roses in bloom!!!

Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced. (PL2015.28)

hmmm I got up this morning .. walked into the kitchen … and saw the pills I was to take last night, sitting on the counter with my glass of water…. guess I didn’t take them… =^_^= oh dear,

Yesterday was yesterday, today is today!

Tuesday

Stop Hesitating

It is more natural for you to be direct and say what is on your mind. Holding back or hesitating is unnecessary (PL2017.27)

The other day on my drive home I saw more than one tree starting to already display fall colours. A sign of what is to come. Fall in this part of Canada is a cornucopia of colour, weather turns a brisk fresh air, with early morning snaps of very cool air that warms to a balmy energizing sun filled day leading into enjoyable star filled nights. Each day is a work of art.

Put Makoto (sincerity) into even the smallest of things. Everything is an accumulation of small things, If you do each and every thing with care, a path will open up. (PL2017.25)

Sometime we need to let the silence speak – look carefully at the picture, then close your eyes and enjoy…

Value your intuition – Change your mind thinking “it will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached. (PL2021/20)

Temperatures have dipped here the last few days, a touch of days to come. The animals react to the change, their chatter is more insistent, the chipmunks have renewed their determination to gather all the goodies they can find. They don’t come out in the dead of winter, but the squirrels who stay active most of the time, are just as active. The floor of the area where I feed is alive with their movements .. I have to be careful, they are focused.

Even the Blue Jays are being demanding, not waiting, but dive bombing the minute the peanuts hit the ground.

What are your plans for today? Whatever you do… do so with the intent of enjoying every moment of your day!

a moment in time

does it matter if we are going forward, or if it is where we’ve been

what matters is we are here now

The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face very task/moment with wholehearted enthusiasm. (PL2012.2)

jeudi -Doors

Beautiful friendships, so appreciated that Thursday Doors has opened up the joy of sharing. Marie Claude is sharing some of her pictures with us taken from her travels in the Province of Quebec…. Look at the bear! What has he discovered? I loved the flowers flowing out from this barn…. and look at the beautiful presentation of the flowers along the barn walls. You can feel the love and the artistry the creators of these views had… they laboured to create a view for everyone to enjoy!

This world is full of beauty and people who share their passion for nature- Let’s appreciate the positives!

Respect the existence of each other.

The world consists of people with different circumstances sand different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other. (PL2023.14)

Tuesday

Beauty can be found anywhere, at any time.

Love is everywhere, we need only be open to the positive energy that surrounds us.

Dimanche

There is only now…

Saturday

Don’t ask, I have no idea. It was in one of my folders. I have a rusted tin man in my backyard, I’ve had him for years, I picked him up somewhere in my travels… I don’t know where this one came from, but he is a beauty. Someone, somewhere had a lot of fun putting him together.. Creativity what joy it is to behold!

Life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be. (Grandma Moses)

This morning I was awakened by “noise” Quincy was being active, then I heard his food being scattered all over the kitchen floor…I tried to tune it all out, but wasn’t successful. When I got up to see what all the fuss was about, he was sitting innocently enough but was intent on one of his toys.. On closer inspection, it didn’t look like something I’d gotten him.. then it hit.. it was a teeny tiny little mouse. Aggghhhhh, no time for eeks and such… I froze in place myself. I’m 5ft.3 maybe, wear size 7.5 narrow shoe… this wee thing was maybe the size of cotton ball.

Quincy was toying with it. I had to act… I raced out to the back veranda and the recycle bin, grabbed an empty cottage cheese container and its lid and came back, Quincy was now batting at the poor thing. I used the empty container to capture the mouse, and took it outside .. it will have to fend for itself in the wet world outside. What a way to start the day.. it wasn’t even 5:30 a.m. yet.

How is your day?
