Aging

How we age, our acceptance of the changes to our physical “selves”, our mental awareness of these changes, and how we have catalogued our experiences and assimilated life “lessons”… will always elude our “present” state of mind.

I am doing a project that involves “anatomy” do you know when you research the male anatomy and then the female anatomy the results are very different. We are different, both human .. but very different in our makeup and how we are perceived.

What interested me the most.. what stood out (pardon the pun) was that the male anatomy pictures all showed, except maybe 1 or two, the member in the state of arousal. It was getting late and I had plowed through maybe 3, 4 dozen pictures.. as I told a friend, I thought I was going through a car parts inventory it got so boring.

Reminded me that.. one should never focus on just one issues, or fact.. but to try always to see the full picture, to understand the circumstance one finds oneself in. LOL sorry if my example is a little “wonky” this morning, blame it on all the research*.

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.

Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

Even if you have done it many times before, put your full heart into it. When we are doing something, especially if its a small or easy task, we tend to get sloppy. Let’s put our whole heart into everything we do, even if its something as simple as pushing a button.

I have no likes or dislikes Even for those who say “I’ll have anything” there are things that I love ” I don’t see many people getting sick without eating what they don’t like, but I often see people getting sick from eating too much of what they like. The same goes for hobbies. It is a human path that doesn’t touch and stay.

change

Being Thursday I realized it was Thursday Doors, this year I thought to maybe explore a door that grabbed my attention and discover why it did. Doors are needed to enter and leave a building but for me they also add character to the site/location. This door was off a main street of a small tourist town, I was taken by the owner’s use of natural woods to use in the window box in front of the big picture window. Decorative it allows light in, but gives privacy to the occupants inside. The door is an old wooden door with decorative trim, blending in with the other décor used on the façade… simplicity at its best.

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.

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

Every day we evolve, every day we face new opportunities, every day we get to make a decision on how we spend our time. What we want to do to accomplish this moment in time…is our decision… make it worthwhile.

for example — I ask myself why I only spend 5, 10 minutes with the crows, when I am on my own time table, they are giving me pleasure, why do I rush away.? Silly thought, random moment.. but there you have it.. caw caw caw….

Church

Crows.. yes!!! my crows are back….

I delight at spending time with them. I pull up and maybe there is one crow in sight, by the time I’ve turned in and parked…. they have begun to gather. They are not trusting of my big honking Nikon, so I pull out the trusty cell… and get a few snaps in before they wise up to my ruse.

Be very careful about doing things you really like. Do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you’ll lose your balance.

red everywhere

Look around, red is the prominent colour of the month. Red spiritually effects, stability, security, grounding, courage, action, physical and emotional survival. Red – physical energy, passion, courage, power, will and desire.

Red makes you feel passionate and energized its the warmest and most dynamic of the colours – it is said to trigger opposing emotions. Seeing so much red in the fashion outlets, I had a look in my wardrobe, not a red shirt, blouse, or top.. hmm actually I seem to be surrounded by shades of black, grey and earth colours.

Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things, you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more.

No red in this picture but to me it is not only spiritual , and energizing, it emotes warmth and a wonderful sense of quiet that gives me strength and an inner passion to love….

Let’s find the joy in everything. Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.

Cold Moon

Decembers’ full moon is commonly known as the Cold Moon – a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions that can occur at this time of the year. Full Moon was De. 18. at 11:37 pm. the last quarter will be Dec. 26 at 9:26 pm.

There is something about a winter moon that has always captured my imagination. I remember in days gone by I would meditate facing the moon, three candles lit, (3 being a magic number) and I would make 8 wishes … (8 also being a magic number) I would get a sandalwood incense from Chinatown.. don’t ask why, it just had to come from Chinatown.

On nights when the moon is nearing its fullest time and then for several days after I always feel that there is an extra energy that is making the rounds… true in other seasons, but the winter for me is the most magical of all for the moon’s mystical aura to be present. Add that the Winter solstice is happening, wow, for the sensitive, this is a “stirring” month.

Free yourself from being overly attached. Overthinking hinders ideas and actions

【Enhancing yourself】 There is no one who doesn’t want to improve himself, but surprisingly few people work harder today and tomorrow than yesterday to improve. It’s the accumulation of daily effort to improve yourself.
translated in Japan from PL lesson 2021.12.22

This is the season for all is merry and bright. I hope it is for you and yours. Not always easy, but remember there are always choices, and it is our decision what to decide/do. Happiness always, Oyashikiri.

Happiness is keeping the world of creativity and art alive!

avocado egg

An outdated address book you just don’t want to throw away – it has all the names of friends who have been and now are gone… holds memories some you really can’t remember all that well, while other names bring back chapter and verse of a special time in your life..

A single egg looking very alone, joined an avocado for breakfast, with a side of bacon.

Another day, seems the sun has come out to play. Wonder what adventure will come my way.

Change your mind, thinking “It will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached.

Some days just happen. Today when you look, the light frost and snow will be everywhere, give it another hour or two, and……………. who knows what you will find,

I am thinking I might try a slice of dark Christmas fruit cake with a slice of Gouda cheese.

Turkey here a turkey there

this footage by Kevin.baldelli.photography

I was delighted yesterday to meet up with Ed Hodgins, where else in the woods of course… smiles… how does that song go, “if you go out to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise”.. lol mine was meeting up with Ed who I had not seen for awhile. he was of course out taking pictures, he had his faithful camera at the ready, and a bag of “goodies” for the birds to entice the feathered beauties.

We, the “birders” who enjoyed the Evening Gros beaks last year, are waiting to see if they will return this year. I certainly hope so.. They were delightful last year. Meanwhile I asked Ed if he had any pictures of wild turkeys, and he did! (see two top pictures). Kevin bless his heart, remembered I was looking for Wild Turkeys and sent me footage from his inventory of pictures.. I get to do my turkey post!

No, I have no idea why I had this interest in the turkeys this year.. they just seemed to catch you fancy, but were always eluding me when I had my camera with me. Does anyone out there know what their vocal call is? They are always on the move like in Kevin’s picture when I see them or eating in some farmer’s field.

What is normal is different for each individual. Everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It’s important to understand others’ feelings.
