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!

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. (PL2017.17)
Eartha “hey want to go to the States tomorrow” Me, “sure, ” and as simple as that, the next day (yesterday) we were on the road to Norther NY State. If anyone has information on how to find the Amish community in the area between Watertown and Massena… it would be appreciated if you could drop me a line, we’d even travel further down towards Syracuse.
There is a good Chinese Buffet in Watertown… in the shopping Centre with the Joanne’s and the Dollar Tree. We got there as they were changing over from the lunch buffet to the dinner one. The dinner selection had more seafood. Prices were reasonable the same variety up here would be between 25- 35 dollars on a week-end.. For two yesterday it was under 40 for both of us. Incl. tip.
Yes it was dark when we were driving home.. but Eartha was a pro… it was a breeze for her..
Have a great Sunday everyone…. oh.. in the States, we found less Xmas cheer in some stores, we were told they wanted to focus on Thanksgiving.. Up here, Xmas decor and merchandise is in full swing. (was looking for that “ugly” sweater.)
Cheers – Till soon!

Start by doing things you notice
It is impossible to do two things at once. Let your intuition guide you and start with what you can take on now. (2017.16)

A busy person is someone who others can count on
The fact that you are busy means that you are needed by others. In a way it’s a sign of how much they trust and rely on you. (PL2017.15)

Happiness is sharing a treasured moment in blissful silence…

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)

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!

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!
