Ever wonder what is on your mind? Last night I had this brilliant idea, but of course, when I woke this morning, it was gone.
Recent conversation. Friend. I hear you got a cat. Me. Yes I did. Friend. .So, what is he/she like? Me. I don’t know. Friend. You don’t know? Me. No, he came in and I haven’t seen him since.
If you face a situation head on, a path will open up. No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through, (PL2014.26)
OK I do know this, he is eating, using his litter and except for one brief conversation at me, he is quiet. NO, he has not come near me, or have we been in the same room together. Does a 5 second, pause and acknowledge and then skedaddle count?
If you work on things with a prayerful heart, there will be many things you can be taught. (2023.18)
I have been reminded how love is an ingredient that never fades, When we live with love in our hearts, life’s lessons, become blessings that enrich our lives.

The human mind is good at confusing what can be and usually is a very simple moment. Believe in the power of a love that is true, for it never leaves you.
Don’t be captured by the past; live in the now. All things, whether they were positive or negative, are things that have happened in your past. You have the whole world ahead of you to focus on, (2011.28)
We all live through rough moments when we wonder– what? why? how did this happen? Why me? These ahHA moments can be startling, revealing, and even painful. But. the truth and reality of it .. is that moment will pass.. in French there is an expression, “want to or not, this is what it is”… When you have these light bulb moments, thank “Universe/God” you’ve reached the turning point. Say thank you… and move on.
Feelings of appreciation become real when we express them.
Find the door .. open it, walk out or walk in, the world is yours to discover.

Your feelings of Appreciation become real when you express them. Express your feelings of appreciation by actually saying “Thank you” out loud or by doing something to show how you feel. Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too. Leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.11)
Life isn’t about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself – George Bernard Shaw
Enjoy the changes in your life. things around you are constantly changing with the times, Take on the challenging and new experiences as materials for self expression. (PL2011.16)
Scattered Thunderstorms! what kind of weather forecast is that for a Saturday!
Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. ( PL2022.6)

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. (PL2014.5)

Update on the car. the smell of moth balls is overpowering. It means the car is used for essential travel only. I’m told that it will be a few more weeks before the smell will dissipate. Thanks for following up. You are all so appreciated. Enjoy the new month, the mosquitos here are still on full attack, although wearing the protective netting has made a difference. Not taking pictures tho’ exposes the hands for too long, and gloves are…well.. let’s say… for now I’ll pass. Have a good day everyone!
Good morning everyone, today being Thursday I’m sharing a couple of doorways that I found along the St Lawrence (the river between Canada and the USA) It was a beautiful day for a drive .. a friend and i had an “outing” … there is a food stop along the hwy that runs along the river to Cornwall. It was a lovely day for a drive. the hamburgers are actually made with real meat patties,,, the fries are delicious. everything is made fresh on the spot, Rather than just sit and visit, we explored and enjoyed the beautiful day, Bonus,, I found some great welcoming doors.
Today’s quote..
New Encounters can help you change, Be up for anything even if its out of your comfort zone This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being, (PL 2020.30)

For those who have asked for the last post on my virtual post site… This is the link https://virtualnws8.ca/
Update .. my car came back to me yesterday, it was detailed and repaired, it looks factory new. Smells like a new car The dealer (Surgenor GM Ottawa ) did an amazing job of repairing it and getting it back to me as soon as possible. Their customer service team goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after a client’s needs. We all hear the advertisements, but this is a team that provides and excels at looking after their customers.. remember how they helped when my car rebelled on me when I was out in the woods…
The Service Advisor who looks after my car when it goes in, for regular maintenance and other required services is excellent at what he does, And it is not just him, it was so busy when my car had its breakdown, a member of the mgmt. team gave of his time to help out. No wonder everyone who uses Surgenor has only praise for the service they provide Whether it was the car jockey or one of the mechanics they are tops! The critters did the car in, chewing wires and whatever else they could get at.. but the staff at Surgenor saved the day! Kevin (service advisor) thank you.. you wore your super hero cape again!
There you have it.. my post for today, now I’m going to go and drive my all cleaned up and road ready Buick!

Remember to be kind and smile today… it always comes back to you!
Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well. (2022.29)
Today is Wednesday .. however I woke up thinking it was a different day of the week, and began to plan accordingly. It was a surprise to find out.. No. today was Wednesday. This is what happens when you take my car away. My daily routine yesterday flew out the window when my car refused to open up for me. Then when finally I did get in, it wouldn’t start.
Ok not the end of the world, but I did have to come in and cancel all my appointments for the day. Neighbours had to wonder why I was sitting at the end of my laneway for hours on end.* Had to wait for dealer who was sending someone to find out what was going on with my car. (Note. I live a short distance from the dealership.. that said they are absolutely wonderful in every way when it comes to service ALL the time.) (*maybe slight exaggeration)
I had to also cancel and rearrange all my “meetings” for today too. Today will be spent trying to find a way to store items that I will no longer carry/store in the car. Remember the cute picture of the squirrel in my trunk when I was in the woods.. (where I go 365 days of the year).. well … my car problem was, critters ate my wires that part of the system that “ran” my automobile.
So,….yes… someone has to rework, rearrange her way of doing things.
Time to regroup as the saying goes.
On the positive, my car is going to be thoroughly cleaned and detailed… and I will have a cleaner garage (yes I use mine, my car is in the garage all seasons…=^_^=) AND my body will get a breather from the mosquitos and pollen .. I don’t know how or when the got at me, but UGH they did.. I have reverted back to my longer outdoor vest.. even with long sleeves and my hat with netting, the other day wearing a shorter summer vest, they got under clothing and bit bit bit.
Too many words today.. I had thought of doing Wordless Wednesday… right! That went by the by.
