Yesterday it was raining do hard, the water was ankle deep in areas….. yet.. there was a quiet that drew me in.. even without my “gum” boots I saw myself walking through the water… my inadequate footwear didn’t deter me from sharing breakfast with the furry and feathered friends that came to share the moment with me.
It was the first time I saw rain drops glistening on the iridescent feathers of the Wild turkeys. There was no sun, it was very cloudy, yet they were magnificent . the drops were like little crystals… rolling off them. Even the bunny came to say hello…
The rain was pelting at times… not all the chippies came out, but the ones that did were rewarded with easy access to the buffet.
Be in harmony with those who are closest to you. Work to cultivate positive and strong relationships with your family and with the people you work with. Getting along with those who are closest to you is the key to happiness,
The parking lots of the other parks I drove past were all empty. No Park “rangers” no contractors, the constant downpour kept the human visitors away. I drank in the “solitude” my bright yellow rainwear.. and fisherman’s hat meant I could just stand and enjoy the soft tap tap taps of the rain drops as they danced over me. Standing in the rain is hypnotic.

Because
Because
Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it
It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative
Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….
Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.
and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…
Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.
Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)

Listen to others until the end. If you put your thoughts first, you will not be able to listen to others until the end. Firstly, listen to others to the end and understand them well. (PL2023.4)

Drove to Montreal yesterday, this is the vista that greeted me along most of the highway along the 40 corridor. Especially as I got closer to the border. The cool snap we’ve been having is affecting the vegetation. Going to be a magnificent display over the next weeks or so. Time to go exploring!
Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serve to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself. (PL2015.30)
Driving along the highway, a route that had been so familiar to me a few years back. I realized how long it had been since I had let the miles roll past me .. heading out of the city… on a day of exploration. Alone with my thoughts, I found that my mind wanted to be where it was content. It was actually a very nice feeling to realize that I was feeling happy and positive… true… I could still feel that I was wanting to “get somewhere” when really I had no where I needed to be. at least not right away.
We come from NO where, drive into NOW here…. only to head back to where we started, NO Where … It is all about spacing.
I used to drive and formulate or work out my “projects” practice my “talks” “presentations” alone in the car I can even sing off key. But yesterday was a day for silence and letting my thoughts wander to happy feelings where emotions and intimacies featured in the “interesting” reels that played out against the backdrop of the burgeoning fall colours. The outing reminded me.. slowing down, is important,, there is no need to always “have” to “get things done” at top speed.

I attended a podcast by a Rabbi yesterday… when we step outside our comfort zones, we can discover and learn a lot about a subject we think we already “know about”.
I also learned that one needs to clean the straw being used to drink ice coffee… yuck accumulates .. ugh. I did /do have special brushes to do so.. I just wasn’t doing it!!!
Thursday
You gain strength through your hardships. Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength. (PL2014.29)

Wednesday
I always come home from a different direction, the other day, I came from the west end of the city, which meant that I saw a part of my yard I don’t usually see. Look! I had roses in bloom!!!
Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced. (PL2015.28)
hmmm I got up this morning .. walked into the kitchen … and saw the pills I was to take last night, sitting on the counter with my glass of water…. guess I didn’t take them… =^_^= oh dear,
Yesterday was yesterday, today is today!

Tuesday
Stop Hesitating
It is more natural for you to be direct and say what is on your mind. Holding back or hesitating is unnecessary (PL2017.27)
The other day on my drive home I saw more than one tree starting to already display fall colours. A sign of what is to come. Fall in this part of Canada is a cornucopia of colour, weather turns a brisk fresh air, with early morning snaps of very cool air that warms to a balmy energizing sun filled day leading into enjoyable star filled nights. Each day is a work of art.

Things begin to happen the moment you decide. “Let’s do it” It all has to do with your attitude. (PL2017.6)
