The woodland creatures are waking up, the fresh invigorating breezes are ruffling the colourful leaves, you can feel the crispness creeping in… the skies are a brilliant blue, with startling white clouds lazily floating and drifting… creating delightful panoramas. Drives along open roads with farmlands sprawling on either side of the road, interspersed with woodlands that are waving a multitude of bright red and zesty yellow and oranges are beckoning, The world is a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour.
If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful
Cheerful and happy people naturally attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude.
My joy today was that when I drove to the trail, there was no sign of the turkeys, I called them, and three of them came at my call. I had not been there since the spring… I was most impressed. The picture here was not from today I haven’t transferred to my desk top the ones I took today.. however, I wanted to show you my “babies”… they do make me smile..
A little late today, but .. I woke with a desire to visit the woodlands… so I did.
Do things in moderation
Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.
In a world addicted to noise, stillness is not only rare, it is magnetic. when you can be authentic and live being yourself, you enjoy quiet reflection, and a place for space. Saying less, says more. Don’t speak to fill space, pause … don’t react, choose your words with care.
How are you today! It’s Sunday!
Your continued efforts will bring happiness
Persevere without giving up. This will lead to great joy in life.
Dreamed of being in outer space, and what it would be like if you could snap your fingers and be somewhere else. These days of interworld travel (via internet) we can be anywhere, and in any period of time. the other day I was in outer space on a floating inter galactic space pad. Last night I was in 1890 Colorado, the old west.. with circus clowns, tents and side shows.
Ok not the same as being stuck in rush hour traffic on the trans whatever highway in modern times. going 20-30 mph in a 100 mph lane.
Still wherever you are, or whoever you are with, time travel hasn’t arrived yet, But we can dream … stuck in traffic we can listen to music, chat with a friend (hands free)………… but ……………… do you take time from whatever you are doing, or need to do…………. to just sit quietly and RELAX with no radio/TV/computer/cell phone? Do you find time to build inner strength, appreciate friendships, sooth mounting stress?
I found a video the other day on YouTube that is just a picture of a fire burning in a fireplace… and… the only sound is that of the wood crackling in the fire. Awwwwww so so relaxing. No hauling of the wood, or having to go find firewood….. then tend it.. all I had to do was sit, close my eyes and enjoy the moment. What a delight….
Do everything with a prayerful mind.
Even if you have done your very best, there are times when you wonder if it is enough. That is when your prayers become most important.

Once you’ve set out to do something, it is your job
Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses. Continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.

“wander quietly through and along the path.. let the day surround you with the tranquil energy of nature’s embrace.” Q
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.

How was Montreal? We didn’t get into the city we stopped on the West Island for lunch and ended up staying on the West Island. The colours on the drive were awesome..
Wow,,… I got the most amazing rush when I had my first taste of these battered lotus root (frozen ready to eat after cooking)… if you can find them, give them a try, I got these from an Asian grocery store… (I cooked them up in my air fryer)(8 min)
Bom dia.. how are you today! I woke to another sunny beautiful day. In our area, the leaves have already started to change colour..
In another couple of weeks, the world will be a kaleidoscope of colour
Strive to live with a positive outlook everyday
Put your whole heart into whatever you do. With motivation you will feel joy and excitement.

Driving towards Montreal today, the colours should be a m a z i n g ….. skies are crystal blue,

A Door, doors are built to allow us access to a building and then to leave it. While we are inside, we are protected from the elements and the world outside.. The door is our method of returning to the outside world and the chaos and cacophony that is forever trying to invade and influence our “Quiet “‘
The door comes in a wide variety of colours even shapes and sizes, the dictionary says it is a “a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard.” I have seen doors that are imposing and others that are just sturdy and practical. Think about it … where would we be with a door.?
PL thought 2017.18
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
Unless you live in a cave.. in everyone’s life there is a door. your thoughts?
If you would like to see more doors from all over the world, visit the No Facilities site, where Thursday there is weekly theme on doors.https://nofacilities.com/2025/09/18/from-fair-to-fair/ – bloggers from all over, participate, it is a wonderful experience and example of people from all walks of life sharing a shared interest.
PL is a philosophy that supports and believes/works towards World Peace.
Instead of candles on a cake, after all this time, a bonfire I thought would be more appropriate. Thank you everyone for your wishes… September is a month of celebration for sure … I think this is the first year in a very very long time I have actually worked.. September was a month of travelling, and exploring. ahhh but.. you have all heard me say, time and time again… Every day is a new beginning.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Life is what we make it. I am very blessed to be able to say that in life, I have lived many journeys, travelled many miles, and known and experienced many wonderful and amazing moments that will live in my heart forever.
In PL we believe that everything happen for a reason, we may not at the time recognize or appreciate the lesson(s) we are learning… but
PL Precept # 16 All things Progress and Develop
PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point
Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective
The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.
PL2015.17
I have been truly blessed with a wonderful life and thoughtful, caring friends. Thank you!
Are you alone? Deep in the forest, there is a magic that permeates the air, if you take the time, to sit quietly and allow the natural sounds of the nature around you to visit with you… the merry sound of meandering water over coloured pebbles is joyful as it slides with ease over the multi faceted rocks and gurgles joyfully as it brushes against and through the water ferns and stalks of vegetation that lines its banks.
Always there is something to discover, Know that all around you, there are eyes watching. You might not see who/what is watching, but…. your presence is not unnoticed.
Start by doing the 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.
