Another way to enjoy the fall colours, and the creativity that happens when the fall season begins. Today at church we were reminded that soon we will be turning back the clock! Yup, October 31. Where does the time go, it seems to be flying by!
Wishing you all a very happy and productive week.
Monday, October 19th.
Put your whole heart into everything and express your individuality. When you put your whole heart into expressing yourself, your true beauty will shine through.
Reality check…these days it is easy to be overwhelmed, by workload, political issues, every day there is more dissatisfaction being expressed, we are constantly being bombarded by “negativity/or challenging” input.
Time to step back, find a quiet place and allow your reality to be with God. Close your eyes, and feel waves of divine assurance flow over you, rest and relax in the comforting presence of God.
God’s spirit within you is healing and renewing.
PL Precept. # 11 Always be with God.
or
your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly
When something comes to mind, do it right away. The moment that you notice something is the best time to take care of it. If you react quickly, your life will be more efficient.

I was over-whelmed by the all the colours I saw today. It was magical.
Your surroundings are a reflection of you. a person who constantly worries will always find things to worry about. An optimistic person will attract happiness, A kind person will always be blessed with kindness in return.

The dragon who is yet unnamed, came calling, actually jumped out at me, giving me cause to pause. “Your mission should you accept, is to prepare me for travel, for I have a destination….’ I ask you.. how could I refuse, we have done, as was requested…. Soon she/he will leave my home for his/her final destination.
Flu shot today.. must get ready. Take good care dear friends, stay safe,
not perfect, but here I amthis is what I was left with when my camera malfunctioned.
Bought a new product, supposedly it had a fantastic camera(s) etc. and having liked what i saw (end product, of other creative peeps) I dove in and made the change. Thankfully I did not divest myself of my Huawei. After a 3 hour trip to get pictures of the amazing colours, I came home, happily went to upload to PC and found that less than 2 dozen photos had actually “taken” and most were like the ones shared above. Seems I had a product with a malfunctioning camera.
You might ask, what does one do in such a situation? There is no fast and easy answer, I dealt with it. This morning I took the offending product back to the store. Accepted that the whole adventure had been stressful, and went to lie down. The two whippets of course came to keep me warm and join in the “group” hug…. I feel much better now.
There is no point dwelling on something that can’t be changed or undone. How have you been over the last couple of days? Have you enjoyed the wide variety of weather we have had thrown at us. If it clears up tomorrow I’ll go and see what is left of the amazing vivid colours we’ve had this past few weeks.
You can become more attentive with Prayer. Live your life with a prayerful mind so that you can be more attentive and make the people around you that much happier.
But when you took your last breath, those many months ago
I had no choice but to let you go to your final resting place
and now….. now I search in the changing colours of the autumn leaves
for the happiness we shared, as we crossed the miles of countryside
for Mother Nature’s fall palette of golden yellows, rusted orange and reds,
oh how we rejoiced, laughing and sharing in her glorious showcase of colours that shone in the sunlight, bright golds, bronze and tattered greens
the bark on the trees, changing with the shadows as the sun drifted across the autumn skies. Gnarled knots and open wounds showed off their textures on the aging trees, while the young saplings did their best to show they were full of promise.
Life does go on, and we did vow, we would love with no regrets,
I have no regrets … you are here in every colour Mother Nature puts on display
Love is pure and love is true, when you accept that love is here to stay.
Today was spent …missing you.
Q
Always work to heighten your “inner sensitivity” Your life will take on greater dimensions when you are able to perceive your surroundings with more sensitivity. Let’s continue to learn and add to our knowledge and experience, and cultivate a fresh sense of beauty.
No one can take away the joy you get from putting by our whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is your and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.

The past, present/ now and tomorrow.
Standing there on the railway ties, looking down the line, I wondered how often, a train travelled down, past were I was standing.
I had stopped to talk to the cattle on the the hill. Saw them from the road, pulled over to the side of the road and turned back. They couldn’t have cared less, who was this strange being calling to them from the fence. The horses in the top picture, were not interested in giving me the time of day either. Just because i wanted to interact with them… didn’t mean that they would be interested in dialog with me. Such is life.
The world in abstract, the sign, lured me with its emptiness, half there, I still found it beautiful.
The trees planted in a line along a now unused road, still had a sense of majesty to them. True they no longer created a wind break for the horses, in the now empty field… but they stood tall, and gave dignity to the landscape.
The two hoses checking me out, were new to the paddock having arrived just a few days earlier, to them, I was a curiosity, they still had to figure out if i would be part of their new lives.
We are all transient, some times we get to stay a little longer than others, in one place or another, the reality is… no two moments are the same.
Trains were a way to escape to distant places. Now of course, to go even further we have planes. The truth is, no matter where we go, or how many miles we put between us and yesterday, we are always still abstractly speaking, right where we always are. In our personal space. Dealing with the NOW we cannot avoid.
I am the abstract sound of wind in the trees and sunlight dancing on water…
It had started to rain, small droplets fell on my windshield, I was prepared for a downpour.. but.. no, the rain stopped.. I looked over to my right and saw the tall grass and the trees with their fall colour, and couldn’t resist.. I pulled over and got out. Traffic be darned. As if on cue, the traffic trickled to zero. I was able to stand there, admire the beauty… and take in the moment without the sound of tires on pavement.
Moodie is a busy road but I was blessed with a quiet few moments, and for that I was truly grateful… it was such a refreshing and rather intoxicating moment. I had been having a busy morning, productive, but busy .. the few moments of solitude, surrounded with natures beauty… was energizing.
Let’s find the joy in everything. Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.
