dragon

tick one more item off my bucket list. meet my forever dragon.

I have been a lifetime living with a mystical dragon who roamed the galaxy .. coming home from time to time to tell of his adventures or to lend support. Yesterday the wonderful tat artist from Brisbane, Australia was back in Ottawa (Samantha Read).. I was one of the fortunate ones able to book with her for this visit. Thank you Sam, I have waited a long time for my dragon to appear. You can see Sam’s work on Instagram,https://www.instagram.com/samreadtattoos/ she travels the globe, who knows you may be lucky and she will be headed your way at some time. Tats are not for everyone, you remember when I got my bee those many years ago. It was a big step for me… but I took it… and with that first step, came many “adventures”. I stepped out of my comfort zone, and found a whole new world of possibilities.

If you’re going to do it, do it joyfully.

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty. (PL.2014.23)

Happy start to a new week, make it a happy one!

Be creative in your efforts

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on. (PL2014.16)

I realized this morning that yesterday I travelled through two provinces and followed along the St. Lawrence River and part of the American shoreline… the weather was amazing, ambiance and landscapes were picture perfect…. and I didn’t take one picture. Not one. Never even occurred to me I was so in the moment. Lost in the beauty of NOW.

Happy start to a new week everyone.

Can you feel it., it is only mid September but I can feel the crispness in the air in the early morning, and the various shades of reds/oranges/rust etc. are appearing against the many variations of greens. Whopppeee!

Open up opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way. (PL2015.13)

Have a good day everyone

. I am having trouble with this format.. any suggestions out there for an easy to use format that remains consistent in the layout.

Good morning… the cooler weather in the mornings is refreshing. the quiet on the bog is deceiving, the other day I thought I was alone, there were no cars in the parking areas as I drove by. Out of my car, I didn’t even see the doves.. the blue jays came when the peanuts were served, otherwise, it seemed usually quiet. I looked up into the trees to see if there was a bird of prey in the area.. but .no.. it was just quiet. I knew the turkeys were down by the farm, I saw them when I drove past.. they would be headed up my way, they had started to chase after my car… so I knew they would arrive.. but… I still found it unusually quiet…

As I walked away from the feeding area.. towards the boardwalk and the water, I could sense I was being watched…It was such a surprise.. cuz I knew .. just knew… there was a pair of eyes, watching me. As I strolled past the first path leading off to the right, I heard a rustle of leaves… I turned slowly towards the sound and saw that there was movement away from me, the lower branches on the bushes were still slightly swaying.. Was it the groundhog, no he knows me and would have come to the feeder area. Then I remembered the mother racoon and her wee ones, they had been around the other day… but no.. she would have just gone up to nosh on the fresh offerings in the dining area.

Slowly I turned back towards the water, and moved on… one of the pleasures of having the woodlands to myself, is that I may not actually see the other visitors to the area I’m wandering in.. but I know they are there. and… eventually the visitor will make itself known if it stays around… I’m there every day, 365 days of the year… I am learning from the animals.. not to rush, to take my time… to always listen and be aware of my surroundings. IF not now, maybe another time, when it is “right” it will happen,

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity.

Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts. (PL2015.9)

Yesterday it was raining do hard, the water was ankle deep in areas….. yet.. there was a quiet that drew me in.. even without my “gum” boots I saw myself walking through the water… my inadequate footwear didn’t deter me from sharing breakfast with the furry and feathered friends that came to share the moment with me.

It was the first time I saw rain drops glistening on the iridescent feathers of the Wild turkeys. There was no sun, it was very cloudy, yet they were magnificent . the drops were like little crystals… rolling off them. Even the bunny came to say hello…

The rain was pelting at times… not all the chippies came out, but the ones that did were rewarded with easy access to the buffet.

Be in harmony with those who are closest to you. Work to cultivate positive and strong relationships with your family and with the people you work with. Getting along with those who are closest to you is the key to happiness,

The parking lots of the other parks I drove past were all empty. No Park “rangers” no contractors, the constant downpour kept the human visitors away. I drank in the “solitude” my bright yellow rainwear.. and fisherman’s hat meant I could just stand and enjoy the soft tap tap taps of the rain drops as they danced over me. Standing in the rain is hypnotic.

Because

Because

Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it

It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative

Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….

Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.

and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…

Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.

Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)
