21st. Thanksgiving /Appreciation

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.

Wordless Wednesday

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)

P23 and P22

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
Perfect Liberty 2022.

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.

Joyful Day

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!

Saturday Scarecrow

photo Chris OKeefe, USA., fresh off the press!

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}

Friday in October

Fall is such a special time of year, we all have different memories about this time of year. For me it is wandering the various back roads in “anywhere” I can get to. I thought this was a happy picture, hope it brings a smile to your day.

Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

Thursday Doors NZ +

I can only begin to imagine what the fragrance must be around that wisteria at the time Shirley took the pictures. For more pictures of doors around the world, visit Dan’s site for today’s Thursday door feature. Being a Penquins fan, I was delighted today to see his own post features doors from Pittsburgh, PA. Here is the link…https://nofacilities.com/2022/10/13/driving-by-pittsburgh-doors/

Thanks to Eliza I was on a site that had a picture of a male wild turkey.,

sorry I can’t find the photographer’s name I searched again this morning, she was from Ontario Canada.

photographer Antonio Salvadori, 2007 Texas, USA

and here is a picture of the ones I am getting at Mer Bleue..

Good Morning everyone, my eyes are tired already from trying to find the photographer for the top photo.. time marches forward.. wishing you all a happy Thursday, this is today’s PL Calendar quote of the day.

You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.
Perfect Liberty 2022.13

Dan, thanks again for the pictures of Pittsburgh, you just saved me a long drive.=^_^=. I have been a Penguins fan for years.. not because I was a huge hockey fan, but because I loved penguins, and besides friends live in Philly and are Flyers fans. ^^^ you know how it is ^^^ Go Penguins !!!!!!

He shoots – He SCORES !!!!!!!! I think there is a game in October between Pittsburg and the Canadians Oct. 17, they play the Maple leafs Nov. 11 the Senators on Jan. 18/23 But the only one that will have me checking the scores will be NOV 25 when they play the Flyers. (hahahah).. hey.. not me, I’m not a hockey fan!

life is

Life is ever changing… I love the fall because it is so vibrant … it is nature’s way of celebrating the pending changes… For us here in Canada, October is when the holidays begin.. Thanksgiving.. then the fun Halloween event… moving us into the American Thanksgiving followed by the spirit of December and the Holidays that come during that month.

I had occasion to ponder something I read the other day, another writer posted a quote about how no matter how far we travel, how many holidays we take, we can never escape from ourSELVES If you are unhappy at home or with your life, going on a trip to the south of France, or driving across the Province is not going to change the source of your unhappiness. If being happy depends on someone else’s input/sharing of/ into your life. The unhappiness and the feeling of loneliness/emptiness will still be with you.

Being happy is a state of mind… being content is a blessing. Being thankful and grateful for the wonders of life, and the beauty of self discovery is an ongoing journey. It is not the destination it is the journey…

When you are with someone and you are content/happy, it is not the other person making you happy, it is your happiness and contentment in being with them. Their happiness is yours … that is why it is so important to smile from the heart and extend your love of life to others.

When you face difficulties start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something that you can do.
