Let your gratitude show in your words and actions.
When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud. (PL2017.21)

Mercredi
I saw there was a bend in the road ahead, should I go straight or take the turn and see where I land? Ever wonder what is around the bend? Driving along the long dusty road, I was enjoying the view, but there was a temptation to see something new.
Life can be overwhelming at times. Not everyday is a holiday, and not everyday, can friends come out and play.
“Now” is always the start of something new. Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress (PL2014.24)
Till soon…

Welcome the new while respecting the old.
Every generation brings forth new and positive changes, but also relies on the wisdom of the past. Be able to appreciate both and take the best from each. (PL2017.18)
Have a great start to a new week everyone!

YOUR smile can create an instant connection.
A warm smile brightens everyone around you and has the power to break down barriers between people. (PL2017.13)
I am enjoying my newest discovery, doing puzzles on the computer/actually iPad. No puzzle pieces all over the table for the cat/dog to discover and want to rearrange. Just good music (I get to listen to Trow’s set from last night and simply REST/unwind) With the cooler weather slowly descending on us, are you prepared for the weeks ahead?
For me the adjustment has been the time change. Boy does it get dark early. FYI.. I am cutting back on the early morning visits to woodlands.. not sure how yet, but I am working it through. I hope to spend more time at the health club/gym during the winter weeks ahead. AND I’ve worked on improving my commitment to Self Care!!
Have any of you, had experience with Varuna Crataeva, horstail, or Lindera Aggregata?
Blessings of the day!

Expecting too much leads to dissatisfaction
When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too. (PL2017.12)

Monday
It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.
Be free of your attachments…
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible. (PL2017.11)

*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO

Live in the moment
Whether you are walking, having a conversation, or having a good time, it is important to be fully engaged. Remember to live in the “now”. (PL2017.10)
A forever moment is one you will never forget.
When we let go of “ego” and surrender to simply “being” in the moment, we are blessed with the awesome experience of a moment in time that is sublime.
May you walk in sunshine this day, be happy!

Money and things should be used to their fullest potential
Use your resources creatively and don’t forget to be thankful for being able to use them. (PL2017.9)
We are already in November, the gift giving season will soon be on us. have you changed from the witching month yet. In the States, the next big holiday will be Thanksgiving. Thus the reason I’m seeing signs for “Black Friday” sales… gentle reminder .. tread softly… There are so many sales out there, some are better than others.
Have fun doing whatever you decide to do today!

On my wish list of things to do, was to visit Oomomo (Japan Living) in the Markham area of Toronto. I can now cross this item off my “TO DO” list . Since my last visit to Japan, where I frequented the Daiso store there … I wanted to once again, wander the aisle and be back in that wonderful store. It was a good feeling to know that I had accomplished one of my “want to do” items. I was tired, yes, and it was challenging to me at times, but, I did it!!!!
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation.
Always remember that you are here today thanks to “Universe” and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude. (PL2014.6)
Mid week! -kick up and have a great day!

Someone asked if they have a website, they do.. so does Daiso…
