The other day while driving down towards the St. Lawrence (river), which is south of where I live, I was surprised to see that some of the trees were already showing signs of fall. We’ve had a very hot and humid summer, but fall doesn’t officially start till mid/late September. Still, I must admit, I am looking forward to the changing season. That fresh crispness that wafts through the air on clear sunny days,

Pay careful attention without overly straining yourself of taking things too lightly

Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.

PL2019.25

Where ever you are in the world, make it a special YOU day. Smile it is such a precious gift.

Curious, have you started preparing for the joyful season coming up? (including the howling time)

oh dear

Is it a summer cold… is it allergies… what … what is it…. woke to a feeling of unease, stuffed ..congested, a throat that was on fire.. and…. a glue gun that wouldn’t work like it should. Oh groan… sigh… it is going to be one of those days. The sky outside looked gloomy, a gray pallor hung over the buildings I could see from my window. The bright eyed smiling girl of the other day, failed to make an appearance, I did attempt to run a few errands,, but the “adult” portion of my gray cells,. finally broke through the fog in my head… and I was encouraged to drive home, straight home.. and cease and desist ignoring what my body was trying to tell me. Tomorrow will be another day!

When you get stuck, take a step back.

When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

PL2022.23

Did you know that yesterday the 22nd, was the black moon? Did you stay in? (at night) I had forgotten, it wasn’t till I was shutting down for the night that I saw my reminder.,… I was able to take time, to reflect and enjoy the tranquility of the event. Black moon encourages empowerment, and connecting with your intuition to embrace and change and ignite one’s inner light. probably why I am disappointed to wake to a new day and find my body is having a wee tantrum.

take care, have a great rest of the week-end.

resistance

I failed to resist the temptation – I drove to the east end for a steamed hotdog and an order of fries.. (heaping order.. I couldn’t even eat them all!)

Quin tried to resist, but failed in her attempt to not get her nails trimmed.

Sometimes life is just not fair… Did I enjoy my fries and steamed hotdog… Yup! Did Quin thank me for shortening her nails… nnnnnnooo. but… I got her front ones done.. I was pleased.

Express yourself freely within the rules.

If you allow yourself to interpret rules and regulations too rigidly, you are limiting yourself. You can find true joy when you work creatively within the rules.

PL2015.22

It is a beautiful day here, I hope the sun is shining where you are…. have a great day!

Such a simple statement… but oh….. so true.

Put your heart into our words

Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

PL2022.19

I have been writing all my life, expression whether written or creatively has always been a passion. In the move, a lot of material was unearthed that came from “past lives”…. I have been looking in wonder at some of the pieces and wondering “who” was this person, “where” was I coming from when these “expressions” were conceived. Some I have kept and will look at again, others I have “passed” on… they simply have no meaning anymore.

Learning to ** LET GO ** is a life long curve and journey that we take. I do see or recognize a thread.. some of my “instincts” and “thoughts” run deep! Never the less… I am working on cutting back,.

Sometimes it gets so busy, we need to escape, find a place to simply ‘stop’ be on our own… let the day settle around us… and chill.

We are capable of handling whatever comes our way

Instead of asking yourself, “can I do it?” simply tell yourself, “I’m going to do it!”. Then give it your best effort.

geranium

Geraniums are one of the most recognizable summer flower, actually they are pelargoniums, technically perennials, mostly known as annuals. They originate in hot climate. home gardeners prize them as a container plant. Did you know that there is a geranium essential oil? It is said, it can promote emotional balance, support skin health and aid in hormonal balance.

It is also know for its antibacterial, anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used to repel insects and has a pleasant floral scent. The oil has been used to treat health conditions for centuries. There is scientific date indicating that it may be beneficial in a number of conditions. *Always check with a doctor before using if you intend to substitute any oil to replace prescribed treatments.

Like Geraniums… people are like flowers, their outward appearance is not “who they are”.. you can’t tell what is inside a book by looking at the cover.

Each person has their own special qualities

Each of us is born with a unique personality, and a unique worldview. BE respectful of others and learn to get along with people of all types,

We have a similar structure in the Gatineau Park (McKenzie King Estate) When I saw this picture I was immediately reminded of the many times I wandered the grounds in the Gatineau Hills.( Province of Quebec).. admiring the views and trying to imagine what it must have been like when the former Prime Minister lived in the hills, and had the remains of fallen ruins in Europe brought over and rebuilt here so we could enjoy the architecture another time and place. The above picture was taken in the state of Pennsylvania.

I have not ventured into the Gatineau Hills since before the pandemic… I did try a few times, but the NCC has made changes to what roads are open and when. (National Capital Commission).. Every time I tried, the roads I wanted to used were closed for one reason or another. Guess what after a couple of tries I simply found other places to go. I’d already been and done the drives over the many years I’ve lived in the area… it was time to discover new places, the world is a big place.

The outdoors are green and lush, but we’ve had forest fires in the northern part of the Provinces with all the high heat we’ve had. We have been advised that the extreme heat will continue for at a good 5 days. If you are also experiencing this heat wave that is working its way across the continent, please take care.

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.

Many roads I have wandered

Many dreams I have had

Yet only this moment

NO NORE – NO LESS
