Thanksgiving offering at a friend’s place. I’m glad I wasn’t there, it would have been a difficult choice on what to put on my plate. Montana is a tad far to get to for a meal, but what a spread she put out for her friends! Wow! Wonder if she made everyone eat with chopsticks! Hope if you were celebrating Thanksgiving, you had a wonderful day/evening. Now its time to carry the bounty of kindness and good cheer forward.
Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make the effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way.

Perceiving equals doing. Each time you notice something, it is a gift from God. Don’t miss this opportunity to act.

YOU are here now, take a minute to reflect on this moment. Each of these pictures will lead you to an “inner” thought, close your eyes, and simply BE. Takes just a minute, then go on with your day. Carry that peaceful moment of mindfulness with you into the day,
The path to achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation, This will pave the way for achievement.

“Give voice to your needs” simple advice .. not always easy to do. We need recall and to notice how we feel, give ourselves time to relax and accept the moment before we move on.
Sometimes we have to accept that we are faced with limitations for a reason.
I visited with them for almost an hour, the guests just kept arriving. In the afternoon at a different location, I had cardinals, chickadees, sparrows (several varieties ) starlings and a couple I didn’t recognize. In the morning I also brunched with crows, MANY crows.. Yesterday you could say was a day for the birds and wildlife. * I didn’t get pictures of the nuthatches/chickadees/BlueJays or woodpeckers.. there was too much movement (there had to be close to a dozen Bluejays) around me. *Note.. there is a place or two now for those of you who bring a small stool or folding chair to sit and enjoy.
Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you ae troubled.. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others.
I didn’t want to hear, but what could I do, if I moved away too quickly they would know they were not alone. Sound carries when you are walking along a trail, especially if it is a boardwalk, or a trail that winds and turns. The couple were not happy with each other, and both were trying to get their point across. Unfortunately, at the same time. Neither was listening to the other.
Sometimes in life we find ourselves alone.. a lot to think about and no one to dialogue with. Pets are great listeners, but.. don’t offer much in the line of feedback. If you care enough to argue with each other, then would it not be important to actually listen to what the other is saying. For those of us who have lost a partner .. because life was no longer an option for them …the finality of that separation is something that never goes away, You can’t take words back that were said in anger, or frustration.
Respect the existence of each other The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles Respect and understand each other.

The past leads to now and now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each one.
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. there are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.
Yesterday you saw some of the buildings that caught my eye on the way to Ompah. Here you are seeing some of land I hiked along. To get to the water, I had to go down a steep ravine to a level area .. where I was looking down at the water… it was so inviting that when I came to a wooden set of steps, I ventured down to the water’s edge.
Lesson I learned… If you go down, you have to come back up! Focused on getting pictures, I had not taken into account to get to where I was I had walked down a steep incline, I found the steps while I was walking the grounds searching for another path leading back up to the area where my friend waited in the car. !!
Look at the rocks, the beautiful old fence, weathered and worn but still standing Yes I likely overdid, I didn’t have my walking sticks with me and because the area hosted art shows in the summer weather, the land was cleared of fallen branches and the like. BUT it was gorgeous .. life was good, life was vibrant, the air clear, getting colder yes (we were heading for an evening of snow and dropping temperatures) I WAS HAPPY, JOYFUL AND FULL OF LOVE… fresh air, the silence of open country (no city sounds) Yes, my body had a lot to say about the walking/hiking and the constant in and out of the car… BUT it was worth it. I think we have all had such experiences. If we are going to be here (on earth) we should appreciate and enjoy as much as we can. Peace on earth, begins at home and in our hearts.
Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.
