Always have presence of mind
If you overexert yourself you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

Good Morning Everyone, yesterday had me visiting a pumpkin display at a farm stall in the east end of the city. Festive colour even though there was a strong suggestion of a rainy day ahead.
Life takes us on many journeys. Some are more pleasant than others. You have all gathered by now that I am a bit of an October junkie. What with the changing colours that surround us as all the hardwood trees start showcasing their fall wardrobes and the stores awash with Halloween decor … its a fun festive time and it will only get better as the Holiday season begins… starting usually in early November.
You ready!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Thriller in the last few days…I actually spent time dancing to it last night… Not kidding.. between that and Monster mash… I’m sure my body thought it was having some kind of “nightmare”..
Today’s message
Multitasking reduces your joy by half

I was so tired when I got to this part of the highway, I had pulled off thinking I’d put the seat back and maybe close my eyes…then I heard all the birds, saw the river slowly drifting by… and I was enticed out of the car ,it was such a beautiful day. Nature and all its wonders is a soothing balm.
Have a good day everyone!

If your mind is always full ….. how can new ideas filter through…. life is still unfolding.. there is no fixed self,… a conversation can challenge your assumptions… to be open is to be free… the mind like the body, must remain supple… if you are to move with the currents of life.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested
Whenever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance. Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion.

Holding unto anger is like holding on to a hot coal so you can pitch it at another…..
Unclutter your mind. If your life is a room, is it full of shadows and dust…?
Bom dia… Welcome another day.
Be creative in your efforts
If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.

The body may grow older, but … your time is finally your own…. the spirit grows younger !! Welcome another day !

Good morning, I began my walk yesterday with a quiet determination to get at least 1.5 to 2 miles. Do my best! Skies you can see where having a field day displaying clouds that were full of attitude. It was a holiday here (Canadian Thanksgiving) I expected there would be a lot of activity … so I got myself out early enough to beat the crowds. Luck held out, as I came back to my car, I met my first humans walking their dog, within seconds another couple appeared. by the time I reached the parking lot, there was hardly any parking spaces left.
What a blessing to have had the “world” to myself for awhile.. I found beautiful treasures, and took in the fresh air… ahhhhh it was simply divine.
Have a “let’s do it ” attitude
Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by the “Universe” and accomplish it.

We all have different ways of feeling and thinking
Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.
