A visit to the Sahara, Marrakech and a peek at Chefchaouen

With the white world around us at the moment, those wishing for a white Xmas this year, got their wish. And, with the deep freeze we had for a couple of days there is hope that the longest skating rink in the world will open this year. So saying, when these pictures came in from one of our “world” travellers.. I wanted to share.. the picture lower left … had me wondering why a carpet is rolled up against the outer door? Could it be there for prayers… I have other pictures to share of the blue doors found in that part of Africa… watch for them. Isn’t the brave little flower delightful. Hope you are all having a wonderful end of the year…

*** 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. Make today, a memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

There was a picture I saw of our “traveller” riding a camel across the desert. it “almost” had me calling CAA for travel arrangements.. then I remembered, cold or extreme heat.. I like cool and cold. the memory of that time in Japan during one of their “heat waves” flashed across my gray matter… I’ll continue to be an arm chair traveller… cheers everyone! See you on Dan’s page,, he is on hiatus till Jan.9.25.. but have a look. https://nofacilities.com/2024/12/26/just-in-case-3/#comment-377595

The art of sleeping. Something so basic… yet… often so difficult to achieve.

My furry companions were very good at encouraging, and showing me how…. Letting go… and simply …chilling… would be beneficial to my well being.

ie. not making the bed as soon as I get up… would not ruin my day, or spoil my relationship with the world.

and… Quincy has shown me that at anytime, one can close one’s eyes and just “turn off”

“You have your own way of doing things, and others have their way of doing things. Don’t worry about what other people will say.” Simply… allow life to guide you. when we are open to new ways of doing something, we expand our personal horizons.

Accept Everything

Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and a times, inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.

Appreciation

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today!

Let’s find the good in others and praise them.

All people have good qualities and bad qualities. Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.

Let’s look at and listen to others with an open mind

Your judgement becomes clouded when you look at a situation or person with preconceived notions. Observe them for what they actually are.

Turkey picture is a puzzle

Canaille

My Porti, Canaille, she was the love of my life … my best friend, my one and only, When I saw this thanksgiving puzzle, I had to do it…

There are always special “loves” that share our “world” always do your best to treasure every moment you have with them… There is only “NOW”

Put Makoto even into small things.

Don’t let things go with “oh well” You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto (sincerity) into all you do. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you.

Discover something new today

Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement.

(PL2023.22)

You are in control of your own destiny!

oi

YOUR smile can create an instant connection.

A warm smile brightens everyone around you and has the power to break down barriers between people. (PL2017.13)

I am enjoying my newest discovery, doing puzzles on the computer/actually iPad. No puzzle pieces all over the table for the cat/dog to discover and want to rearrange. Just good music (I get to listen to Trow’s set from last night and simply REST/unwind) With the cooler weather slowly descending on us, are you prepared for the weeks ahead?

For me the adjustment has been the time change. Boy does it get dark early. FYI.. I am cutting back on the early morning visits to woodlands.. not sure how yet, but I am working it through. I hope to spend more time at the health club/gym during the winter weeks ahead. AND I’ve worked on improving my commitment to Self Care!!

Have any of you, had experience with Varuna Crataeva, horstail, or Lindera Aggregata?

Blessings of the day!

Monday

It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.

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. (PL2017.11)

seasons are changing the only constant in life is change.

Oyashikiri

*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO

oi, bom dia!

Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves.

Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you toward accomplishing what you set out to do. (PL2014.2)

Enjoy your Saturday everyone!
