Endless sky above – the ground under my feet
Looking up I am filled with wonder
I leaned against my car and just took in the fresh crisp air, I’ve never really done that before.. There was a car parked further down the trail, but aside from that… it was MY moment in time.
Make sure you take time for YOU today. YOU matter.

Hey you listening to me?
How often have you been having a conversation with someone, when you suddenly realize they aren’t really listening.. They may be hearing you, but they are not listening.??

When is a door more than just a door – when it lets you in to somewhere you want to be, and closes to give you privacy. I’ve shown you these beauties before.. Was in Almonte the other day got to visit them again.
These doors lead to a place of spiritual growth and personal renewal.,
WE enter and leave through doors constantly ,. some we never give a second thought to… do we ever give thanks or show appreciation for the service they render … smiles… ok… just think about how many doors you encounter in every day of your amazing life. If you had a nickel for every door you have used in your lifetime to date… I think our piggy bank would be full to bursting.
Happy Thursday everyone. – Smile . . . let someone know you care….

Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….
I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.
Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,

Hello this is a picture taken in NZ the other day, it is going into fall there.
I’m waking up here to a spring day… here in Eastern Canada.
Same week .. same world, but in very different parts of the planet.
Shirl went for her walk at home in NZ and I had my stroll here in Canada.
Isn’t life grand… Think about it, Eliza is starting to share her photos of her spring flowers ..(excellent moments of shared beauty) she is in the States…
We are so lucky/blessed that the technology we have today, allows us to experience “visual” gifts that before .. we would have had to wait days, weeks, even a month, for our friend to take a picture, have it developed, then get it ready to post… Once posted that letter would take days, weeks to travel to your mailbox.
There is much we have to be thankful, let’s remember to give thanks…
Appreciate your friendships… they are part of your personal treasure chest.
We are all here today… we may not be tomorrow.. This is life..

Thru the mist of early morning… with the distant sound of the world waking around me… I stood and waited. Would today be the day? I felt a deep sigh escape unbidden from somewhere within me… I had to focus on the tension between my shoulders…. manually letting my shoulders drop into a more relaxed pose.
I had come to meditate and pray… I thought a friend would join me… but I saw no one at the gate… the prayer bell would ring soon… slowly I turned back into the quiet and serene ambience of the inner room. Sandalwood incense floated lazily into the still morning air.
As I bent my head and brought my hands together in silent prayer, I felt the gentle embrace of a warm breeze brush casually past my silent form… This moment was mine… In closing my eyes and saying yes to the silent beating of my heart… I acknowledged the greatest gift in life, is to live in faith… to believe that what will be will be.
Every day is a new beginning a gift from the Universe… the gentle flutter of my heart is steady and pure… in Letting Go.. I am renewed.
