Sometimes – we have no choice but to -let go

The church grounds are so welcoming and peaceful at this time of year. We are blessed to have huge wild green space behind our land, so there is always a quiet hush as we approach the grounds.




Service today at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving/Day of Appreciation.

Some days are better than others. However, every day you are part of is a special day. Welcome each new day, there are opportunities around every corner. We need only be open to the “adventure”
Whether you are staying close to home or going on an errand, the world around you is forever changing. No two days are alike.

No matter the venue, the music will still wrap itself around you and whisk you away on a musical odyssey. Seasons come and go… life keeps happening… so why not enjoy it.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
Music is everywhere, find what you enjoy… make time for YOU.

Hello, bom dia… it was nice to be out enjoying fresh air and open skies. too often animals are kept in human made cages that keep them in buildings eating man made products instead of being out in the open air, grazing. Drove for miles yesterday on back roads, passing dozens of farms and farmland. Not a grazing animal in sight.
To be fair I do live in a populated province and myself live in a major city in the country, however, I made the effort to drive away from the city and populated suburbs and city sprawl.
I am a believer that we need to spend more time keeping in touch with nature’s healing energy. Can you spend a day away from your cell phone, a computer/television and/or electronic gadgets?

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes
Put aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.

Solid as a Rock








Memories might not always be front and center but they are always part of who we are.
Every day, is a new forever
Don’t squander it.

note if you are coming south on Vanier Parkway and follow it to Bank, you can not turn left at Bank…!! construction has it that you may need to drive all the way past Bronson before you can turn right! I ended up on Riverside.
I can no longer sit like this for hours on end, but I can still sit. and. Sometimes I simply lie back on a deck chair and watch the clouds.
Try it. You might like it. No cell phone, no music, just you and the sky!
Come on… let that shoulder tension go…. imagine being out under that beautiful blue sky… hear the birds off in the distance. Smell that early morning wisp of air that is gently tousling your hair…
Today is a brand new day. Enjoy!

When the winds are so strong you find that your fence gave in to the force. We call this “kamuwaza” (God’s Act)
It happens, you accept it, and deal with it. no more, no less.
Obviously it is time to repair and rebuild.
Life happens, how we accept and deal with the “opportunities” that is on us,

PL Precept # 5 One’s Self is lost by being emotional.
Weather good, feel like fence building?
