and yours alone to to walk, so much to see, so much to discover.
You will meet and walk with others along the way, but no on can walk the road for you.
Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well.

“Step out of the history that is holding you back… step into the new story you are willing to create.” Orpah Winfrey
I really do believe that this one likes to pose for me. He will set himself apart and then just pose giving me time to take his picture… all sides =^_^= … It doesn’t earn him rewards just praise and admiration.
When the camera gets put away, he will saunter off being very nonchalant. No, I cannot tell them apart once they are gathered in a group.. not yet anyway. I have to admit to being fond of them, now when I see them when I’m walking a trail, I stop and visit.. a few of them will be social, others will turn and run off towards their “pals”.. they have the cutest way of running. The other day I was treated to two of them actually flying off into the trees. It was my first time to see them lift off and fly a distance.. they are a delightful bird.
I have a question, there is a big (I think) wasp nest hanging high up on a tree at one of the sites I go to, I watched it the other day swaying in the wind. It is big, how do they suspend it and with what?
Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

Make a point of smiling, it relaxes the face and can alter your brain and body chemistry, It can also have a positive effect on the way people react to you.
Who says these wonderful birds don’t have personalities. This beauty was showing off for me today, and I was lucky enough to get my cell out for a picture. Since I get to see them now almost every morning, I am getting used to them, and them to me… I put out a product called bird butter that I get from a specialty shop.. I apply it to the bark of trees for the woodpeckers and smaller birds. Today, my attention was called to look over to where I had just applied it.. to see not a woodpecker, but….
They are proving to be delightful critters, they are playful and naughty, curious and as you can see by the top pictures.. they can be hams/showoffs. they were seen eyeing the back of my car where the birdseed is stored (my trunk lid was up)… so far I’ve seen them with their necks outstretched, but they have kept a distance. I’ll be watching them. =^_^=
Be in tune with the feelings of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.

Yes I cheated and put one piece on top of the other.. it was a lovely moment in time, I was wandering around enjoying the open skies, most of the leaves had fallen in the area I was walking…. I could see the fallen soldiers (from that huge storm we had in the spring). Made for a very different landscape from what I had known in the past.
We will never again be able to return to what was… we can only move forward. The forestry personnel have been in tidying up … with the leaves down, we can now really see just how many of the older trees fell over with the strong winds. AND when looking closely, we see just how scarred and battle worn they were. Especially their bodies, how over the years/seasons they had endured a zillion strikes/blows.. they also provided shelter and shade, now they are left to simply BE. Some in pieces, and others just left bare to accept the fate that will come their way.
Today being the 21st we will celebrate the most important service of the month, we humbly express our appreciation to God/Universe for all the blessings of the past month. and sincerely ask to be guided and protected in the coming month. We renew our determination to follow and practice the Perfect Liberty teachings/philosophy… PL Precept #21- Live the PL Way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Let’s live with gratitude toward everyone and everything all day today.

There were two beavers wandering and floating in the water.. the frost in the air and all over the ground did not bother them.
It was cold .. I’m layered with a long sleeve sweater, quilted vest an outer denim vest and then my rain jacket. Wild turkeys following my lead back to the feeding area. (7 a.m. ish)
PL Precept # 1 Life is Art.

NOW
Yesterday’s journey took me through a golden glow of pure ecstacy. This means, the leaves are in change mode from scrarlet/crimson tones to the sunshine yellows/golds and bronze…
Today is a new day, the start of a new work week. I cleaned out a file drawer last night, I found files back to 2008, some even older. One of the tips to finding mindfulness and calm, is to declutter. Since my husband’s passing, and prior to… I have been doing a slow but steady “clean up” Over the years it is amazing how much we retain, or put away to look at later. What we thought was important to keep .. yet once tucked away, seldom or if ever… looked at again
Somewhere in time I had picked up a book called Stuck on YOU, 140 quirky love quotes that stick in your memory and on your stuff (there were stickers in it at one time) the book is titled, Stuck on you, the heading is… Where there is love . there is life. copyright 2016. In looking at it again, I see the pages tear off, even more interesting to me is the quotes I used (I date or highlight if I something catches my eye)
Here is one, by unknown. ” I wish I could turn back the clock, I’d find you sooner and love you longer.” my little inner voice says… you didn’t find him/her sooner because you were not ready…
Today’s quote from the PL calendar..
Start today with a fresh outlook. Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start eah day with a fresh mind

In cleaning out that file drawer, I threw out a lot, but I also found a few treasures that I have put aside for another moment of discovery at a later date. Love has been a constant thread in my life. I love being happy, and loving life brings a lot of happiness.. yes knowing love means you live all the emotions that go with it.. but when love is true, it is all a blessing.
True love doesn’t have a happy ending. True love never ends.
Barbara Johnson
Have a joyful day by being a little more creative. You will enjoy your day more by adding a little creativity to your daily activities.

Mindfulness. appreciation. this is the time of year when we see majestic colours everywhere, I am filled with an awe that such beauty exists, especially if I am driving with the sun in just the right position, and my way is filled with a dazzling vista of beauty so fleeting that I know, if I come back along the same highway, or road, the moment will have passed. I feel gratitude in my heart that I was able to experience such beauty.
Today – think – I will radiate positivity!
Service is at 10 a.m. see you then!
Every year I would get such a chuckle out of how Chris and his wife would do their décor up for the fall, I went looking this year and couldn’t find what was done. Chris generously send me the picture for this year. So, dear readers, here it is…. the critters that visit their yard from the woods behind their home, must find it entertaining… they must wonder at the antics of “humans”.. we are after all such a special species.
Spent part of today, sweeping up leaves, and bringing some of my wood finds under cover ( into the garage).. there I hope they will dry out over winter.. they will no longer be exposed to the weather, it can get extreme here when we are into the full throes of a Canadian winter. Since the forecast is for rain off and on over the week-end I also drained the water barrel of the accumulation from the last couple of weeks. Called fall chores … bet you have your own to deal with… =^_^=
Please.. no applause, these tasks got done because.. I was in the mood today to be outside and I felt like it.. the “lazy” me could return at anytime..!!!
Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

PS.. note.. raking/yard work can be satisfying when doing it.. the aftermath if you have arthritis in the hands/wrist/fingers etc. can be devastating
