Wordless Wednesday – journey
tracks in the fresh fallen snow

Happy Monday
I confess to being a back road junky. I will take wrong turns or continue along a road, just because. I love to see the different landscapes, colours, building and whatever else cannot be seen while we are driving on a main road. Admittedly, I sometimes find myself on a country road that I had no intention of being on.. Usually that is when I find something that cries out to me.. Stop… come back, and I do. I pull over, there is little to no traffic, put on my emergency lights and get out.
In the summer or in other seasons where foliage and filled in landscapes, catch the eye, the buildings can go unnoticed. Not the other day, I stood on the empty road, and just took in the quiet, the different shades of blue/gray in the skies, and the personality of the building that once was.
Somehow the snow and the wisps of dried vegetation that poked out here and there, gave the building a charm, I don’t know would be there when the trees were in full bloom. Maybe in the fall with the autumn colours. Come September/October, if I remember, and IF I can find it again. I should check it out.
Time to find a main road, so that I can get back on track, do what needs doing and head home …
Today is a hospital day. Please keep us in your prayers, send positive, healing energy, we will hear today, what the doctors have put together for us.
Know that we appreciate all the kinds words, your thoughtful caring “presence” in our lives is truly a blessing.
Blessings be….

working hard or hard working
turn on the light please or open the light please
the date has been moved ahead, or has it been pushed back
does that picture have meaning, or is the meaning the picture
close the light, or shut the light
I realized that we were miles apart on that one thought
you really were adamant and for me.. simply, it didn’t matter
what mattered, was that you be happy, I let it go
instead, I said, I loved you….
and my heart sent loving thoughts your way,
you laughed, and that was that.

Friday greetings..
Miss Piggy waves hello.. a cheerful pot of tea, she is dropping in to wish you well, We have a bright sunny day here, milder temperatures too. I think I heard thunder rolling across the winter night sky in the early morning hours. Warmer air, passing over and pushing down on the colder air below.
Works for me. What ever you are doing, where ever you are going.. May the rays of positive energy bless your day today !!
Oyashikiri
You are loved, today and everyday!
and no, Miss Piggy did not follow me home.
maintain a positive attitude
Feel the positive and energizing energy coming from this photo, the composition, the colours, the presentation. I can inhale and imagine the fragrance of the fresh flowers.
Be positive today. # 26 Maintain a Positive Attitude and wisdom will come to you.

Thursday door – dreams
Door – usually we think of a physical barrier that opens, closes, revolves, but what about the doorway to our dream states, or entrance to another realm. When Alexander posted this picture in earlier January of this year, I was immediately transported to another place, a state of mind/Being. I had no words to describe how it made me feel, it just spoke volumes to me.
I immediately texted him asking for permission to use this photo, this is a copy, to see his original post, please visit ice art Jan 22.18
The picture for me puts a visual on the “feeling” of some of my dreams. His 1st picture in that blog, reminds me of when I am searching looking out, and this one I’ve posted, reminds me, or gives me a feeling of happiness and joy. He was on Lake Ontario, he looked, he saw, and he captured.
Not a physical door, but definitely for me, a doorway, an experience of walking through to another “world”. For “real” tangible doors, you need to link to Norm 2.0 and from there follow the links to all the other bloggers who post to this feature.
Thanks for sharing today, it is a beautiful day, and you are all part of my sunshine!

a special thanks to Alexander Lautsyus for allowing me to share his “works” with you
and to you Norm for indulging “my” love of all doors/doorways

Sassy cat
came by to chat

you are a bee

I am made this way =^_^=

shades of gray
stark, cloudy, bleak, no, not bleak, just gray
what is there to say
the water looks dark, cold and uninviting
no need to test it with my toe
by the time I walk across the snow-covered grounds
my feet and toes will no longer be cozy warm
I think I will pass, and not go near the water’s edge
that is something I can do on another day
meanwhile I will view from afar
the far away shoreline, before
I head back, following the path that I’ve taken
back to the truck.
Not really exciting, but refreshing, yes.
A winter’s day, shown in shades of gray
I found some colour to brighten the gray
I will come back another day
We are heading into a storm
for winter, this is the norm
after all this is Canada eh!
timing
David Bowie on roller skates————————————- Roller disco dancing
Another time another place. I loved roller skating to music, feeling the beat, and if you had someone to skate with, you could waltz and two-step doing some pretty fancy stuff. I believe the David Bowie advert, was for a big disco roller event in Australia. I didn’t get to Australia to strut my stuff, but I did head for the board walk in California along the ocean. Such exhilarating times, you met others with the same interest and you got to chat and just hang out.
Now I’m told, social interaction is not allowed or thought to be a safe thing to do. When out at gatherings, or in parks, it is advised to stay in pairs, and not talk to strangers. I hear on the radio and television news broadcasts, always about shootings, robberies, and lately, accidents due to people texting or answering their cell phones.
It is common to show movies and have television series(s) that include violence, abduction, shootings and fights. And we wonder why there is a rise in gun shootings, stabbings and gang violence ?? Really?
Lately here, there is a hue and cry about the legalization of marijuana as if it has suddenly thrust itself on our society, ?????????? to my knowledge it was around long long before my time, and I’ve been around for a while.
There is a spoke missing in the wheel of “common sense” it seems to be all about stirring up rather than bringing peace or a state of calm. When it appears that the media, the box office – entertainment (movies) is always after sensational, or totally outlandish behaviours to bring in the monies or “ratings”
I don’t know readers.. as one cartoon character used to say “thatttttttsss all folks”
El momento en que percibs es la oportunidad
A chance esta no momento e que se percebe
The moment you notice is the best timing
Procrastinating will only weigh you down. The best time to do something is when you notice it. You will feel lighter both physically and spiritually. (PL Calendar # 19)

chop suey Wednesday
Good morning everyone. I thought I would start today to talk about laziness. Seriously this is one of my “work on it” traits or “flaws” Being a visual person, I woke to a perfect example to share with you.
This is a game I play on my iPhone when I am somewhere waiting, ie. for a dental, or doctor’s appointment. Now that I no longer have an iPad, having gone for a phone with a bigger screen, you know the size of the screen I am working on. Interestingly, the game on my computer is the same but not the same, my computer being a Windows format.
When I began on the iPhone/Pad, I had to start all over with a new café, in this new format. Fun I thought I can do something totally different. Off to the races I went, enjoying myself, watching my money grow etc. However, I don’t have the friends to play with in this format, but lots through the game. I digress.
Last night I decided to start decorating for the Chinese New Year, which will be coming up soon in mid February. *year of the Dog* (lunar calendar) The program suggested I take a picture to show my friends, I took a picture and sent it to myself.
To my horror when I looked at the picture this morning, I was assaulted with the glaring objects of my laziness.
- I didn’t clean up the floors before taking the picture
- I saw where I had started to change my servers and didn’t go back to make sure all of them were done. In fact, I used some from my inventory rather than buy the shiny metal ones that go with my décor ..( frugal and lazy)
- The tips could have been collected, but in truth I didn’t see them, again, I didn’t take the time to look
Small over sights maybe, but in my case, I lean towards lazy, we all do, intention is to go back and fix it, but as the days go along, and since it is only me playing, none of my guests to this site, are known to me… bla bla bla… excuses. After making time to fix up the café, start on my remodel, I take a picture .. and voila. caught on camera…
We just never know do we. this is a fun example, but it IS an example, we never know, taking short cuts, neglecting to do something “just because”. A camera never lies the results can be photo-shopped or edited, but lens itself, never lies.
