Wednesday !!!

drudgery

You can get all dressed up, do your hair, pretend its going to be a glamour day, but no matter how you cut the cake, if there is work to be done, or matters to be attended to that aren’t fun… You have to set your mind to the task and get it done.

giving a presentation can be fun, interesting and certainly if it is appreciated .. rewarding

Usually there is always a lot of hard work and effort that goes into putting/pulling something off in a seamless fashion, or presenting a “brilliant” feature documentary. For a brief time we can look very professional and maintain a certain air of efficiency and know how. BUT, we all need down time, and we all, each and everyone of us, needs time to regroup, to be still, to reconnect with our inner Selves.

Catching up and sharing time with friends.. that is IMPORTANT too. Here Alo was visiting with Sister Qu who is the resident hokyoshi (assistant minister) at the PL Center in Second Life. http://www.secondlife.com

The teachings of PL, the 21 Precepts and 21 Principles, are what help us navigate through the world we live in today… Stay in touch with what grounds you… what keeps you mentally and physically alert and positive. Life is too important to squander.

PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror Todo es espejo

PL Precept #11 Always be with God. Confie todo a Dios.

Obrigado PL por me ensinar amar assim Por ver Deus dentro de mim e em qulquer lugar

Thank you PL for teaching me to love, to see God within me, and everywhere around.

From my home to yours – Love now and always

With one thought, “the world” will change. Changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.

saying goodbye

saw the woodpecker today at Mer Bleue – got to say goodbye till next time..

With the snow melting, the sunshine working its magic… the days getting longer… the two areas I visited every day from last October till now.. have change. Yesterday I was unable to get my trunk open, so had to forgo putting out the rest of my feed. Today I went back .. I collected more feeders and filled a few for the birds that have remained for the time being. At Dewberry, there are still a couple of Grosbeaks, they chowed down happily on the fresh sunflower seeds I put out… There is a distinct change in the “ambience” of the area.. I was so intimately connected to the place, I can feel the difference. An interesting observation.

Mer Bleue I was interested in finding out, altho’ I could see and feel the difference in the little area I enjoyed all winter, it wasn’t as dramatic a change for me. I spent more time at Dewberry, often sitting in the little glade with them for a quarter of an hour or more.. In the below zero temperatures.. for me that was something “new”.. I can honestly say, I had a wonderful winter sharing with my little “bird families”.

Multitasking reduces your joy by half. When doing something give it your all. There is a joy in everything.

What I learned about myself this past winter is that I am able to get up and go out every day and feel re-energized. Not a winter person before, I now feel that I can say, I enjoyed being outdoors every day in whatever weather the day presented me with. With the birds I learned that it was an environment I could enjoy, and be comfortable in. Who would have thought, sitting in the snow during a snow storm visiting with birds would be an enjoyable pass -time..

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point . Siempre estamos ante la bifuracion del bien y del mal.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity Todos existe en relatividad.

out and about

Express your appreciation with enthusiasm. Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development.

A thankful heart leads to happiness. When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for, the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

Awesome Cuteness 2

I had one of those sleepless nights.. a night where you know you are tired, but sleep just won’t come. It is elusive and simply not wanting to participate in your desire to sleep. I had a wonderful stroll through Num’s pictures again.. These cuties are adorable.

Have a great, productive and HAPPY Friday everyone.. stay safe..

Till soon.

PL Precept # 8 Live as the sun Viva radiante como el sol.

awesome cuteness

It’s Okay! God is watching over you. Things turn out for the best. Don’t be captured by momentary troubles but continue doing everything with sincerity.

today is today there is no replay

thanks Ed Hodgins for the awesome pictures.

Sunday musing

when there is a will, there is a way
the more I learn – the less I know
What I see today, in that one moment, will disappear as soon as I move away

-p.s. – I think of myself as being without discrimination – however today, when sea gulls joined the crows at the table, I actually wanted to shoo them away. – the lessons I am learning are very “thought provoking” (btw I did not act.. but I did take note of my reaction.)

Time change?

Winchestser, Ontario (Freckashpeng)

HAVE YOU REMEMBERED TO CHANGE THE CLOCKS.. we move an hour ahead today!

NO! Go away
LET ME SLEEP!
WE SAY….TIME TO GET UP

Why is it, any other time getting up at this time is no problem… because we had to set out clocks ahead one hour, this morning, I didn’t want to know about getting up…

YOU CAN DO THIS!

Friday – this and that

I really did get to see her up close, this is a memory of this past winter I will cherish

The next piece, I found on a friends site, be aware, it is “edgy”

benefits of horse manure

It has been scientifically proven that horse manure protects you. Take the fresh horse manure and rub your hands with it. It has the following actions. 1. it prevents you touching your nose, eyes and mouth.

2. people will keep at least 6 ft. away from you.

3. no one will want to shake your hand

4. you will safely wash your hands before going to lunch,

OK.. not my usual offerings.. however, it is Friday!

Let’s begin today with a smile. Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover.

Should you have picked Pub 101, this is a sampling of the delicious food you can enjoy while visiting the establishment, It has good reviews and is situated in the heart of the tourist area in downtown Ottawa. just saying, should anyone be hungry =^_^=

For the writers in the group, each one of the above doors tells a story. Some doors were found in the States, the rest are in Canada … There isn’t anywhere one can go without finding an “interesting” door.

For more doors, please visit the home of Thursday Doors, weekly feature. https://nofacilities.com/2021/03/11/waterbury-union-station-thursday-doors/

Enjoy your day everyone…

This and that

wild turkey

The last couple of days I have seen wild turkeys out strolling, Yesterday I saw one crossing the road, I slowed to let it get across, it took its time, crossed over, went up over the side snow bank and on into the woods, as casual as you please. Where it entered the woods it was deep, his feet sunk in to the snow, but he just get trucking along. Not a care in the world. I stayed to watch him for awhile, it I wondered if another one would come out to meet him, but no he just sauntered further into the brush. Hope he had a good day.

ice step I chopped today at Dewberry

After my fall yesterday, I went back today with a shovel to dig out and make a step for people to use when going up and over the offending snowbank. It isn’t a masterpiece, but it is functional, and I had the pleasure of watching it being used before I left the site.

waiting and watching – the look out!

Having been very cold for the past couple of days, today when I arrived, the look out saw me coming and the calls went out, by the time I parked the crows were waiting in the trees for me to put out the grub. I still marvel at how they communicate with each other, and then when its time to “come and get it”… they seem to do it in an orderly fashion. There are a lot of them when its a full house.. Today there had to be 3, 4 dozen.. but they kept it orderly.. Truly amazing birds.. (hmmm do I sound a bit biased =^_^=)

I am very pleased to say that more and more I am meeting first time photographers not that they are new, but they have driven from away to come to Dewberry to see the Grosbeaks. The Grosbeaks are beautiful birds, I’m happy to see that they have a following. Seeing these people gather, cameras at the ready make me feel rather “proud”.. I smile to myself.. cuz I know that when I am on my own in the woods, the birds come out and share time with me.. I get to see them up close and personal without binoculars or a high powered lenses.

When I am asked why I go out every day, no matter the weather, there is only one answer, I want to spend time with the birds. No, I am not part of a group, I am on my own, it is my special time.. a time to unwind and re-energize my spirit. There is an energy and a peaceful state that happens, when I am able to simply BE, outdoors surrounded by my feather friends and the small woodland creatures that share the environment with me.

Don’t think “I Can’t” Begin by taking the first step, then you’ll be able to see what comes next and a path will open.
