Santa?
Recently went looking for Santa, in days of “old” at this time of year, people were searching out Christmas cheer. Merchants had their shops brimming with decorations and seasonal goodies, Xmas parades were happening, social get togethers were planned, even the church basements were being decorated for members to enjoy when they gathered for coffee and cake (social hour)
In touring around, I see or saw little of this merriment that once would just have been part of the day. Yes there are homes with decorations, and some of the stores have put up holiday decorations, but I’m not feeling the vibe. “Jolly Santa” and his crew of woodland creatures and elves seem to have faded into “never never land”
Instead of the spirit of the holidays being shared and delighted in, if you turn on the radio or watch the telly, the air is blue, gray and black. Yes there are patches of magic here and there, but it is not everywhere.

A little fantasy is good for everyone.. let’s try to recapture some of the magic of the holidays, in spite of what “some’ would have us think and do.
Make Today a different day. Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.

Thought we could do with a different climate and geography (if you , like me live in a part of the world where we are going into Winter.)
Let’s begin today with a smile. Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover.

People who can constantly re-examine their posture, such as “Was there really something wrong?” are honest and wise.
From Japan, lesson 12.10.21
Good morning all, happy start to a productive and happy week-end.
cold day
The forecast said cold, blistering winds and a possible 1.5 inches of snow. While I was out, the snow seemed to be on its way, but there were no signs of it., the sky was that cold gray that often is an indicator — but.. luck held… while in the woodland, it didn’t make an appearance.
Different story when I came out of my last destination. The parking lot was clear and dry, but 1/2 hour later when I came out.. my car was completely covered and people leaving were having to make time to clear their cars before driving away. Someone didn’t have her brush/scraper with her… I was sure I had put one in the car, but if I did, I wasn’t finding it. It was time to do what needed to be done, I used my arm and hands…. thankfully I wasn’t far from home. As soon as I got out of the car, I found the scraper and brush and put them on the back seat. !!! done!!!
You gain strength through your hardships. Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.

All the summer vegetation is gone, once again we can see the forest floor and see through and beyond the shrubs and trees that line the roadway. I watched hoping to catch a glimpse of a wild turkey or two. Didn’t linger long.. the cold was creeping into my bones.
Day 4, December
Deck the halls and bring out the holly, everyone is so jolly and bright, especially when they think of the coming holidays and how wonderful it will be to visit and celebrate with friends and family. No matter the reason, this is a time when there is a lot of social “happenings’ Keep in mind that not everyone is in a position to celebrate, or can. More than ever we need to be aware of the world around us.
Energy springs from your smile. A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

When every door is given a special decoration – there isn’t a door in the house that isn’t showing off a beaming “happy holidays” decoration. The owners of this special haven get better and better each year at pulling together a look that shouts “HAPPY HOLIDAYS’ to everyone who passes by, or has the pleasure of an actual indoor tour.
Thursday doors everyone.. I know this is Friday, but you can still enjoy touring other doors by visiting Dan’s site https://nofacilities.com/2021/12/02/random-duluth-doors/
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.

A home says a lot about the people who live in them. This home is filled with love and joy of many many bouncing whippets and borzoi …
I am very blessed to have these two human beings in my life and consider them family. I’m so proud of what they do and the love they give to each and every little heart that comes into their lives.
Till soon. This is the month to shine with holiday decorations, but the love that we shine out to the world with our smiles/friendships is priceless.

upside down
Tell me that again will you.. did you say what I think I heard,
or did you explain and I wasn’t listening – sometimes I do hear the words, but what they say to me, and what they are trying to convey – well. there is a discrepancy .. not sure what it is. but I know there is a disconnect. right side up, or upside down, makes no matter if the chatter is simply noise spoken into the wind.
Be a person who can say “I like it!” Find what moves you the most and express your appreciation.

a day in the woods
I posted these yesterday, but wanted to use them again today, why.. I stood for some time at the bridge looking at those two logs.. wondering how they got there, and if I wanted to move them.. errr.. it was a thought, I didn’t attempt to move them. They were wrapped in a light icing of ice… and I didn’t have on my Bogs (water boots) … eepps I can hear and see the fingers pointing, honest it was just a thought I did not attempt in any way shape or form to move the logs.. it will have to wait till spring now =^_^=
The fungus on the tree was another moment in time. I wanted to pull out my chair (it was in the trunk of my car) sit and just visit with the display. The fungi was growing out in a number of places on the one trunk. There was such a variety of shapes and colour patterns. Life is so colourful and textured!
The log end, I want to see its progress over the winter, how it will pretty up as the snow and ice build on it. Right now.. what little snow is there .. may or may not stay depending on the weather we get in the next while. However the ground does seem to be already settling into “frozen” mode.
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.

Will the day ever come when I will not marvel at how wonderful the world is we live in. I hope not.
