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.

Me, myself and I…. that is who I am responsible for and to. I am so tired of hearing from people that what has happened to them, is always someone else’s fault. if he, if she hadn’t done, this, that etc. what has happened to being responsible for one’s own actions. Alright, the world isn’t always fair, but it is how we react or respond to a situation that is important. If you feel someone has done you a disservice.. you can be thankful that you found out or recognized what is or was being done. You look at the perceived negativity towards you,, and move on, it has already been done,… you can’t go back and erase what happened but you can learn from it.. and move on. Your life is just so much more important …
I started this yesterday but I was sidetracked by a body that won’t let go of a virus.. I listened, and went back to bed and stayed there, Does anyone else out there use weighted blankets?
How has the week begun for you? I hope it has been a sterling start to a brand new week.
A winter sculpture, a promise of spring and new beginnings. Smile.. Nature is a wonderful cure for anything that ails us.
If you are going to do it, do it joyfully
If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm, By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

Instead of worrying do something about it
It doesn’t help to overthink situations such as, “what if this happens?” or, “Things might end up that way” Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Work well with everyone regardless of their age or position
The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solutions, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders.

Good Morning everyone…
The picture above, was taken by local nature photographer Dan Cadieux, https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography I have known Dan now for many years, we run into each other in/on the nature trails in the area. He knows of my love and friendship with crows. He shared this picture with me, that he took a few years back. It was taken on a day when the temperatures were just above zero degrees, it was a fall morning, the wasps were semi-dormant…. his patience and quiet determination got him this great photo… Isn’t it fabulous. If you love nature, and like pictures that show case the nature around us, please give Dan’s photo gallery a look. He has a unique way of presenting his finds….. I’ve seen him lying in the mud on the side of the road * camera focused on a puddle where robins are bathing for hours if need be to get just the picture he wants… thanks Dan for sharing your amazing talent with us….

decorations
I kid you not… these decorated wonders are all under one roof. AND I did not post all the pictures. Their displays take my breath away. This is in a home with dogs… many dogs…. yet, except for the odd ornament that a whippet/borzi wants to rearrange…. their decor stays pretty much as is till after the new year. This is a house of Joy and Wonder. thank you Steve and Paul for the tour of your beautiful displays.
Be Cheerful and Friendly with those around you.
Other people can sense how you are feeling ... so.. be cheerful…

Trees
When the “boyz” decorate, they don’t fool around, these are just a few of the trees that decorate their home during the holidays.
I usually go out to take pictures after they are set up…. this will all be enjoyed with their annual New Year’s “come visit” party…I have watched as every year, a new year or new theme gets added.. Even the exterior of the home is festive bringing a smile to all who drive by …Believe on cold dreary days travelling through the snowy challenges.. Canadian winters can offer up… seeing this festive display shining out at you never fails to bring smiles and cheer a traveller on their way. (promise more pictures soon)
This year I have been visited by a persistent flu germ…. what a nuisance, It is visiting the least patient of humans… its been an unwelcome guest for weeks. leaving me tired and uninterested in simply everything. How are you doing? We are days away from the jolly holiday …you ready?
If you are going to do it, do it joyfully
If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

domingo
Snow covers the ground a beautiful blanket of white. Holiday music is heard every where we go. You ready for the season of holiday cheer and festive gatherings? Not to be a wet blanket, but it isn’t a holiday for everyone, please be aware of the hardships others may be facing.
Sincere condolences and prayers go out to the families that are facing the loss of a family member… or having to spend time in the health care facilities who are open 24/7. The support workers who work holiday and shifts, who can’t just stop what they are doing to celebrate. Hats off to the work crews who no matter what the day, night … if the weather decides to play havoc with travel, they are out working to keep our roads safe. Its not a party for everyone…
Work happily with good rhythm
If you take on your tasks willingly, you will enjoy the task and you may even be rewarded with a more positive outcome.

snow
There is something comforting about looking out at a snow scene of undisturbed fallen snow against a hedge that is splattered with beautiful miniature snow sculptures.
To prepare for the cold and snow of today, yesterday the birds were busy storing up all the energy they could gather. Chickadees were gathered in numbers I’d not seen before… The “cafe” was a flurry of wings and chattering.. blue jays dive bombed the shelled peanuts, the squirrels had to really dodge the streaks of blue and eager beaks. Even the nuthatch came in numbers, not just one at a time… they went through four servings of butter bark in minutes.. It was a like a cafeteria line. Guests (human) were thrilled at the sight and smiling broadly when a chickadee would swing low and brush a glove or shoulder.
Nature is healing.
BE free of your attachments
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices, Keep your options open and be flexible.
