lundi

There is something special about walking down into the woods on an overgrown trail… where not long ago it was shades of green and the sun had to make its way through the dense growth to give dappled patterns on the ferns and ground cover – now… there are patches of vibrant colours splashed against the emerald greens, slowly, the golden glow of multiple shades of orange, bronze and copper are presenting the eye with a patchwork of blazing tones that dazzle and turn the world into a kaleidoscope of brilliance that is mesmerizing.

I made time to visit my old stomping grounds yesterday .. it was so crowded with cars and people wanting to experience the fall colours that I didn’t stay.. but the brief tour I took … left me wanting more.

Live today filled with enthusiasm

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today’ only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Hi.. looked for a peaceful picture for today. Donkeys are cool, they simply do their thing…

Looking at me I appear rather harmless.. a gentle older woman, short cropped gray/white hair.. I wear a North American version of the two piece outfits, Asian used to wear.. I don’t have the Mandarin collar, I wear a scrub top instead… (convenient for cell phone, keys and small wallet) and silk or linen pant won’t work since I am active outside… so I wear a pair of dark jeans or loose travel pant.. .. in other words, I blend into the landscape…

Last night, this over 50 gentle woman took a sledge type hammer to a pill bottle. No I wasn’t angry, I was trying to open a child proof .. tamper proof bottle of (over the counter) pain medication .. after exhausting the push down, turn trick several times, I resorted to a special aid, bottle/can opener I have under my counter… even tried a wrench… It was after midnight and I had been trying for hours to be “adult”… finally I reached down into the “junk” drawer, and pulled out the “hammer” I bought for driving stakes into the ground. Placed the offending bottle on the bathroom bath mat and swung…

Hey! It took several good swings, before it broke, but that was just the cover.. then I had give it another well aimed blow before the rest came away so I could get at the gel capsule I wanted.. What is the expression…. where there is a will… there is a way..

That’s my story for the day… what’s yours.

“You can find true joy when you work creatively within the rules..”

Its Oct. 1 today, I can go crazy with fall colours.. and dust off my broom.

Mother Nature does it so well – art in its purest form.

Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in others so that we can get along.

Appreciate each person’s good points.

Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts

Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook

como vai?

Some doors are intriguing on their own, this door spoke to me because of where it was located. (found in Japan) (no it wasn’t lost .. but it was a delight to discover) Wouldn’t you want to know how come it exists in that little nook under the rock formation. Starting the day with a mystery…. nice.

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook

If you handle a situation with preconceived notions of prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

Some plants survive even when they found the world around them wasn’t going to make it easy.

You can do the same.

Some messages need to be repeated.

Birthdays

Yesterday came and went … just like the clouds, my life was full of sharing, caring and food I finally got my steak and lobster. Wow. it has been ages since I have been in a “steak house” where there is linen table clothes, the servers are in uniforms …. people coming in and out are dressed in proper business attire. The atmosphere is quiet, lighting discreet… the steak melted in my mouth, the lobster was not a suggestion it was substantial.

For an appetizer I couldn’t resist trying the bone marrow!! Yes I was spoiled… and you know what. I truly enjoyed it. The table held plates of calamari, mussels, and I think breaded zucchini, fresh from the oven breads/buns, the salads were fresh and plentiful not a spoonful on the side.

My ice water was topped up and chock full of ice cubes (ice water, my favourite drink) I didn’t try the house wine but was told it was exceptional. Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled that after my wonderful lunch, I had to go pick up my car at the dealership (air-conditioning problem)

Oh I know you want to know the side dishes, I had fresh Brussel sprouts grilled with carrots.. Dessert (yes I gave in) was pistachio gelato, I saw decadent two layer chocolate cake with I think I was told was a butter cream icing… My meal also had a fresh garden salad.. I walked out of the restaurant on my own, but… rolling me out would have worked to!!! I was stuffed.

My heartfelt thanks to all the cheerful and funny birthday wishes ..loved them all.

Like the clouds that drift across a sapphire blue sky – the joy and love from yesterday was a blessing I will always remember. Moments come and go, but true friendships never die. and love... it has many faces, but remember … it is a gift… treasure it.

the lobster came on a bed of seasoned rice, drizzled in a butter garlic sauce to die for ! !! !!
