Thursday

From spring to summer, what a difference. Of course I would pick a day when it is pouring rain to make the trip, but “c’est la vie” rain or shine, being in nature is a joy.

There will always be a way

If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before.

I had no intentions of going back out to the nature trails that I went to every day for 7 years,… but … one should never say never, Sometimes we need to return to what was.. to see if WE are still “in tune” with where we were back when there was no other way to start a day, It was familiar, but I am not the same woman … I felt a tug of sadness … the birds that had greeted me each day, the furry critters who came at the sound of my voice, were not to be found.. of course the time of day was different, and it was pouring rain. Still…. a gentle reminder… N O T H I N G stays the same,.

Have a good day everyone, PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop.

The other day while driving down towards the St. Lawrence (river), which is south of where I live, I was surprised to see that some of the trees were already showing signs of fall. We’ve had a very hot and humid summer, but fall doesn’t officially start till mid/late September. Still, I must admit, I am looking forward to the changing season. That fresh crispness that wafts through the air on clear sunny days,

Pay careful attention without overly straining yourself of taking things too lightly

Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.

Where ever you are in the world, make it a special YOU day. Smile it is such a precious gift.

Curious, have you started preparing for the joyful season coming up? (including the howling time)

Been watching video on the dissection of the female anatomy. We should never take our bodies for granted,, (stop the snigger guys .. the male anatomy is the next lesson…

Let’s be thankful for everything we have right now.

“Now” is an accumulation of every moment leading up to it, and everything that continues to progress and develop to become “now” Be thankful for everything.

Such a simple statement… but oh….. so true.

Put your heart into our words

Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

I have been writing all my life, expression whether written or creatively has always been a passion. In the move, a lot of material was unearthed that came from “past lives”…. I have been looking in wonder at some of the pieces and wondering “who” was this person, “where” was I coming from when these “expressions” were conceived. Some I have kept and will look at again, others I have “passed” on… they simply have no meaning anymore.

Learning to ** LET GO ** is a life long curve and journey that we take. I do see or recognize a thread.. some of my “instincts” and “thoughts” run deep! Never the less… I am working on cutting back,.

Sometimes it gets so busy, we need to escape, find a place to simply ‘stop’ be on our own… let the day settle around us… and chill.

We are capable of handling whatever comes our way

Instead of asking yourself, “can I do it?” simply tell yourself, “I’m going to do it!”. Then give it your best effort.

Ottawa

PL Ottawa offers a quiet tranquil respite from a busy active world. Nestled between trees and an expansive park like setting…. there is always someone to welcome and greet the visitor.

Situated off a busy major road that flows traffic across the busy city (Ottawa is the capital of Canada) we often are visited by people curious and just wanting to stop a moment. In a city where there is a constant stream of traffic, of people and cars “getting somewhere’…. the church grounds are right next to protected green space. It is not unusual to find that “wildlife” from the little forest will stroll over to church grounds, curious to explore.

Different but another thought for you to think about

A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.

When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face.

PL church Ottawa is the only physical building in Canada, we are visited from members from USA, Brazil, Japan. For PL members it is an opportunity to have a place to be while touring and visiting in the area.

geranium

Geraniums are one of the most recognizable summer flower, actually they are pelargoniums, technically perennials, mostly known as annuals. They originate in hot climate. home gardeners prize them as a container plant. Did you know that there is a geranium essential oil? It is said, it can promote emotional balance, support skin health and aid in hormonal balance.

It is also know for its antibacterial, anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used to repel insects and has a pleasant floral scent. The oil has been used to treat health conditions for centuries. There is scientific date indicating that it may be beneficial in a number of conditions. *Always check with a doctor before using if you intend to substitute any oil to replace prescribed treatments.

Like Geraniums… people are like flowers, their outward appearance is not “who they are”.. you can’t tell what is inside a book by looking at the cover.

Each person has their own special qualities

Each of us is born with a unique personality, and a unique worldview. BE respectful of others and learn to get along with people of all types,

We have a similar structure in the Gatineau Park (McKenzie King Estate) When I saw this picture I was immediately reminded of the many times I wandered the grounds in the Gatineau Hills.( Province of Quebec).. admiring the views and trying to imagine what it must have been like when the former Prime Minister lived in the hills, and had the remains of fallen ruins in Europe brought over and rebuilt here so we could enjoy the architecture another time and place. The above picture was taken in the state of Pennsylvania.

I have not ventured into the Gatineau Hills since before the pandemic… I did try a few times, but the NCC has made changes to what roads are open and when. (National Capital Commission).. Every time I tried, the roads I wanted to used were closed for one reason or another. Guess what after a couple of tries I simply found other places to go. I’d already been and done the drives over the many years I’ve lived in the area… it was time to discover new places, the world is a big place.

The outdoors are green and lush, but we’ve had forest fires in the northern part of the Provinces with all the high heat we’ve had. We have been advised that the extreme heat will continue for at a good 5 days. If you are also experiencing this heat wave that is working its way across the continent, please take care.
