the 13th.

Snow..lots of it… you won’t melt, get out and enjoy it. The snow falling is light and fluffy, there is breeze that blows the feathery snow around.. kind of magical. It had to have been a steady downfall, it is the first time that I’ve had to sweep out the snow from the feeders with a little brush. Swept it off the domes too.

The snow started falling in the evening and we’re told it will continue till late afternoon. A really fun day to be on the slopes or snow shoeing across open fields. An afternoon by a cozy fire, the flames snapping and crackling creating an ambient sound that is relaxing…a lazy stay at home day… your choice.

Ohhhhh sooo happy, the plow just did a first pass on my laneway… Whoooo hoooo, that means I’ll be able to get out..

We are all wonderful in our own way

Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious.

Ok everyone, now I can get going,,, heading out… have a great day …

LOL.. still will have to shovel the snow from the garage door, the plow can only get so close.

If the snow is falling in your area.. be careful, stay safe.

Wednesday

Let’s begin today with a smile

Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover.

The message is simple, try it all day… go around smiling … see how it brightens your day. does it/did it make a difference for you?

do u know?

Some furry scampered across the freshly fallen carpet of snow. Any ideas?

Sunday

All I am hearing yesterday and today on the radio is the hype about the big game today. Interesting when I keyed in football yesterday I got a lot of info. on soccer.(Soccer is called football in other parts of the world). Apparently the two teams playing today are creating quite a stir, The Chiefs have held the title and the Eagles want to take it back, they won it a few years back. Communication seems to play a big part in all that goes down.

Communication is important in all our lives. I suspect that today, everyone will be focused on NOW.

Today’s PL “thought for the day”

At one time I would have just said “good luck” but it seems there is a lot of hard work with hours of practice and dedicated focus on accomplishing team work... there has to be a winner, but I think from what I am hearing … it will be close… What will be, will be.

Think “now is the time” Instead of “it’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. PL2022.6

How can human beings who claim to be caring loving beings, hunt and harass a beautiful living creature just trying to live his/her life. For the sake of a picture and ???

Take Action without thinking too hard.

Snow

These were taken yesterday, it was balmy, mind you I was bundled up with a very long coat, and Bogs* (boots that are made for Canadian winters, keep the feet warm to -058 degrees.) .. and layered “to the nines”. To do the Bog on days when the winds are whipping over the landscape, can be very refreshing. I enjoyed my walk, there was no one else around, There is something to be said about sitting on a bench in the middle of a snow covered Bog. The birds were huddled in the woods fluffed up, keeping warm. The one squirrel I saw was nuzzled in against a tree in the elbow of another branch. He had no interest in leaving the sheltered nook for a peanut.

When I got to the part of the Bog that leads back to terra firma, the wooden boardwalk that crosses over water, was snow covered, the winds had picked up enough that the dried stalks from the water plants .. whispered and sang as the spirited winds ran through them. Beautiful and serene.

The walk provided me with time for quiet reflection, any sadness was carried away by the breeze. Its cool caress as it gently brushed my cheeks, wiped the silent tears. Nature embraced me with the comfort I needed.

Your smile is what is needed

A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

PL2022.3.

Ottawa is in for another snow storm, hello. another one, yes! and, it will only be the appetizer, mid week it seems a bigger one will arrive. Keep the snow shoes and skiis ready!

Saturday

Another month begins.

Be a messenger of Peace

Always think “for the sake of others and society” and express yourself for the happiness of all people.
