Bonjour
When something comes to mind, do it right away.
The moment that you notice something is the best time to take care of it. If you react quickly your life will be more efficient. (PL2020.18)
Do you make ghoulish greeting cards for the witching month?
Oyashikiri
Yes I do…it came over me.. cutting, folding, stickers, pockets, labels, time to be creative.
tudo bem?
travel the path with me.. just one more turn .. let’s discover what is around the corner…
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. (PL2014.16)

Always do your best to be a better person.
If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time. (PL2014.12)
ohhh there is magic in the air, the mystical and the witching themes are everywhere…. ghosts and goblins sneak out of hiding and float happily past on their way to hide-a-way where they can enjoy a ghoulish brew. I tried all day yesterday and the night before to get into the Fifty Linden Friday Halloween venue… there are a ton of free gifts and spooky items to be had.. sale items are all 50 linden. I was determined, I tried again first thing on getting into the office today…. when there is a will, there is always a way!!
I can see some of you shaking your heads.. it is not even mid month yet… let me tell you, there are pumpkins and Halloween decor everywhere ….. I’m not alone in my love of the ” Halloween season” What other time can you take your pet dragon out for a walk. wink..
start witching…. have a booootiful day!

Sunday
Feeling tired, worn out, need a break. This rusted beauty above has been sitting on the side of the road for years. I was glad to see it was still there, but it is showing its age. The picture below is from my collection of vintage oldies ( found on Pinterest). These relics are from a different time. Life was slower … the car was an invention that allowed for greater distances to be travelled, in a shorter time. It was the beginning of an era where life would no longer be lived “closer to home”
There was a time, when someone who lived in another village/town/hamlet would be a total stranger, and usually would remain so … because life was lived within the community/parish you lived in. Now we can wake up in one country and go to bed in another … Friends/family can be miles away, Sometimes the physical distance means the only communication is “electronic”…
How many readers remember when the only way we could stay in touch was by “Mail”… when phones were few and far between… How many of you have had a “penpal”… someone who you wrote to .. in a far away place.. and then wait for them to respond… a conversation tooks weeks/months. Sigh.. a trip down memory lane.
Note. I still communicate with two of my “pals” one in New Zealand, the other in NY State..
New Encounters can help you change.
Be up for anything, even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being. (PL2020.30)
Cheers everyone.. May your day be blessed with sunshine and friends.

Sometimes, I’m still standing, still around, but simply not seen, there is just too much going on around me, passersby, lost in thought, walk on by. Albeit brief, I enjoyed the visit… please come again soon.

Are you too busy all the time? Who schedules your day? There comes a time in life .. when we have to realize that if we are “too” busy, then it is our responsibility to look at what changes can be made… All too often, we apply ourselves to work, or the “wants” of others, and put ourselves last. In the end, we are born into this world on our own, and we will leave it … on our own.
I walked the bog yesterday, first time in awhile where I have gone all the way around, the rain of the other day, left a layer of dampness over everything.. I was delighted to actually see a few mushrooms.

tick one more item off my bucket list. meet my forever dragon.
I have been a lifetime living with a mystical dragon who roamed the galaxy .. coming home from time to time to tell of his adventures or to lend support. Yesterday the wonderful tat artist from Brisbane, Australia was back in Ottawa (Samantha Read).. I was one of the fortunate ones able to book with her for this visit. Thank you Sam, I have waited a long time for my dragon to appear. You can see Sam’s work on Instagram,https://www.instagram.com/samreadtattoos/ she travels the globe, who knows you may be lucky and she will be headed your way at some time. Tats are not for everyone, you remember when I got my bee those many years ago. It was a big step for me… but I took it… and with that first step, came many “adventures”. I stepped out of my comfort zone, and found a whole new world of possibilities.
If you’re going to do it, do it joyfully.
If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty. (PL.2014.23)
Happy start to a new week, make it a happy one!
