Do things in moderation. Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.

For Thursday doors I thought to bring you two very different buildings. Not only in purpose but detail, yet.. in some ways they are similar. Both doors lead to structures that house very different purposes. Same applies to people, we all look different, yet, we are all the same, our outer expression is different. But we all have hopes and dreams, we love, we cry, we feel loneliness, and we rejoice in happiness while feeling the pain of loss when around us there is chaos.

Have a great day everyone!

When sitting by the sea is all you want to do. When you want the world to go away. Then it is time for you to listen to your inner voice. Take a break, and just “let go”…. not always easy, but it can be done, Sometimes we simply need to recharge.. When we don’t listen and we continue to push and barge ahead into the chaotic world around us, our health suffers,

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

PL Precept #1   Life is Art

PL Principle # 1   I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,

Life has been “busy” and “cold” we are coming out of a cold snap, last night before bed, maybe around 10pm I was out shoveling snow, clearing the play area in the backyard so that Keeper could go out and not be having to maneuver through the snow..again, yup it was snowing again. Yes, I could wait till this morning, but then,,, there would be more of it, and I have things I do in the morning, (routines) Besides, it was dark, it was quiet, and I could go out and shovel in the darkness of night, and simply BE.

All was calm and good till I realized I couldn’t find my cell phone. No wonder it had been so quiet. !!! Fortunately I was able to send a message to a friend (via PC) .. who called me… Eventually the delinquent phone was found….  which reminds me, I have to go find my cell phone and clear the messages.. or no one will be able to leave a message, Is it just my cell, or do all cell phones only allow for 2 messages?

Life is good if this is my only dilemma this morning. Have a good one everyone! Blink and we will be in February.

Anyone try the banana tea?

Do you know that each cloud is unique… and no two trees are alike.

snow anyone?

Please note .. this is NEW snow, that snow from the other day, was all gone .. yesterday my driveway was clean of snow. What you see here is new from last night and ongoing at the moment. I did try to shovel a path to the street so I could see if the street itself was plowed. It isn’t. In shoveling my way to the street, just a path to walk .. I created a mound in the middle of the lane, that was waist high. Needless to say, even if I wanted to.. I can’t get out of the garage, when I cleared in front of the garage door, I was left with a pile of snow to back out over that was higher than my waist, I stand 5’3″…..

Keeper when I opened the back door for her, just turned her head and looked back at me, the expression so clearly said… “you are kidding me right?” Sadly I had not cleared a foot path for her, and she needed to go, so she had to solider on. (I’ve seen taken the shovel and made a small path for her to at least get off the deck … We’ve had over a foot of snow and it is still falling. Temperatures are going to get milder, with the snow changing to rain…

Guess who is staying home. Will have to call and cancel my 9 a.m.

Face challenging situations with positive determination. When you encounter difficulties, Boldy take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

On the positive, it was only snow, no freezing rain to coat the trees and hydro wires.. causing potential black outs. etc. I did not hear of power outages in the area.. but I haven’t listened to the news either .. I was focused on seeing if I could get out..

Where-ever you are, be safe, and enjoy the day. Smile, it is contagious.

2024/6

Has your winter been gray and overcast, thanks to a wonderful photographer who travels with her camera, we have pictures taken during a visit to Upper Canada Village to see the lights in late December, Thanks Chantal for sharing!

We had a dull overcast month of December, it was not a white Christmas, the ski hills had to make do with artificial snow, so die hard skiers’ were able to get some activity’s in… It is a brand new year, and we are already into the first week of it. When I saw Chantal’s pictures it was a wow factor, the past month had been so “sad and low key” for me. It was a reminder to me that there is life outside the “walls” of “my world”.

The best timing is when you notice. When you notice something, it is God sending you a message, Act right away so you don’t miss good timing

dragon is on its way… soon.. officially 2.10.24

A change in weather can bring on cold sores, headaches, arthritis flare ups, and the list goes on. Not much can be done about it, weather patterns are changing and have been for some time now. The other day I heard a mother waited for hours in hospital emergency to get a prescription because she has been unable for 2 years now to find a family doctor, and the medication is needed in on ongoing basis for one of her children.

I remember thinking.. wow and my diabetic medication is on back order because medical practitioners have been prescribing it for weigh loss??? Its time we took our lives back, not be swayed by the hype and the media, but start watching what we eat, how we eat, and making sure we are living in a way that will maintain our health over the years to come .. without “needing” pharmaceutical products … that said.. have you tried to find a “real” watermelon lately. I looked for one that was organic, didn’t look pale pink and still had seeds. Did I succeed?

Some things in life we have no control over, ie..someone else’s health/behaviour, but we can take care that WE are eating, sleeping and being kind to OURselves. Did you realize how hard the body works to digest what we eat…? Do you eat after 7 pm? Do you allow for the body to fully digest a meal before you start feeding it again? I was bad last night, when Keeper went out after midnight, I saw the left over veggies and couldn’t resist snagging a roasted parsnip. Bad me. I had told myself the other day I was going to make a supreme effort to let my body get a decent number of hours for sleep.. and not have to digest food .. I stop eating after my evening meal. Yet.. where was my will power/good intention in the wee hours.??? This is something I have to do for me. No one else can do it for me.

Get things started with Grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it!” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

When a trail is closed it is usually because the forestry personnel didn’t get to clear parts of the trail that were blocked by fallen trees, before the weather changed, there is always a reason. sometimes it isn’t obvious, there could be a tree that has been snapped and hasn’t fallen yet, and again, the crews were unable to remedy the problem before the change in weather. Unless you know the trail and the woodland area well, stay clear until it is opened again. Please be safe,

In life we hurry, from place to place, task to task, cross another item off the to do list. We are in constant, “moving” mode. Sometimes in life we NEED to slow down, we NEED that moment of QUIET. Have you had yours today.

At first glance the old buildings used disused, empty, but when I stopped to actually look, I saw that indeed there was life, the place was being enjoyed, Being in the NOW is what will keep you grounded.

Experience the joy of change. It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year or today compared to yesterday and realize how much you have improved and changed. PL 2016.30

See the 2nd from the left, last row. That is the Li Ho Restaurant, it was a rocking juke box dance hall at one time, I won my first jitterbug/jive contests there a “few” moons ago. Smiles.. time was.. memories are always interesting,…. Now driving into an empty parking lot ..not another car insight, just the birds watching from the trees and the squirrels scampering to be first to greet me .. that.. is powerful. When the Ravens call down, even more thrilling.
