Today – Tomorrow -Yesterday
When was the last time you danced your cares away?
or spent times, just whiling the time away.
I’ve taken to spending time doing “nothing” just listening to the world happen around me. Start with 5 minutes a day and work your way to 10- 15…. its so easy, and simple to do… yet…the challenge is to do it!
daytime, night time make time for YOU

When the winds are so strong you find that your fence gave in to the force. We call this “kamuwaza” (God’s Act)
It happens, you accept it, and deal with it. no more, no less.
Obviously it is time to repair and rebuild.
Life happens, how we accept and deal with the “opportunities” that is on us,

How often do you reach the cross road… do you automatically go right, or do you take the trail less travelled?
Treasure each moment in time
Life is a continuation of “now”. Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

Morphologically, trillium plants produce no true leaves or stems above ground. The “stem” is just an extension of the horizontal rhizome and produces tiny, scale like leaves (cataphylls). The above-ground plant is technically a flowering scape, and the leaf-like structures are bracts subtending the flower.(def. internet)
Take care of things as they come to your attention
When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.

When is a door more than just a door – when it lets you in to somewhere you want to be, and closes to give you privacy. I’ve shown you these beauties before.. Was in Almonte the other day got to visit them again.
These doors lead to a place of spiritual growth and personal renewal.,
WE enter and leave through doors constantly ,. some we never give a second thought to… do we ever give thanks or show appreciation for the service they render … smiles… ok… just think about how many doors you encounter in every day of your amazing life. If you had a nickel for every door you have used in your lifetime to date… I think our piggy bank would be full to bursting.
Happy Thursday everyone. – Smile . . . let someone know you care….
