Let’s take a moment and drink in another space in time…. a place with a different vibe… that wonderful lush vegetation…. the hum of traffic on the busy road outside…. time for a spot of tea and maybe a dumpling? A cafe somewhere in ?
Good morning peelista….How are you today?
With one thought, “the world” will change
Changing your way of thinking will make a difference on how you perceive the world.

On this day in 1962, James Brown performed these songs at the Apollo(Harlem, NYC) (Black History)
Good Morning Everyone, yesterday had me visiting a pumpkin display at a farm stall in the east end of the city. Festive colour even though there was a strong suggestion of a rainy day ahead.
Life takes us on many journeys. Some are more pleasant than others. You have all gathered by now that I am a bit of an October junkie. What with the changing colours that surround us as all the hardwood trees start showcasing their fall wardrobes and the stores awash with Halloween decor … its a fun festive time and it will only get better as the Holiday season begins… starting usually in early November.
You ready!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Thriller in the last few days…I actually spent time dancing to it last night… Not kidding.. between that and Monster mash… I’m sure my body thought it was having some kind of “nightmare”..
Today’s message
Multitasking reduces your joy by half
When doing something give it your all. There is joy in everything.
Life is an adventure. What could possibly be hidden in plain sight,..… ?
Thanksgiving Service (Day of Appreciation) is at 10 a.m. today
If you are unable to join us in person, please take a few moments to simply close your eyes, and say a silent thank you…. life is good, when we share positive energy….
Good morning, I began my walk yesterday with a quiet determination to get at least 1.5 to 2 miles. Do my best! Skies you can see where having a field day displaying clouds that were full of attitude. It was a holiday here (Canadian Thanksgiving) I expected there would be a lot of activity … so I got myself out early enough to beat the crowds. Luck held out, as I came back to my car, I met my first humans walking their dog, within seconds another couple appeared. by the time I reached the parking lot, there was hardly any parking spaces left.
What a blessing to have had the “world” to myself for awhile.. I found beautiful treasures, and took in the fresh air… ahhhhh it was simply divine.
Have a “let’s do it ” attitude
Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by the “Universe” and accomplish it.
PL2021.14
Have a lovey week… enjoy… live in the moment… S M I L E
I apologize I’m an October junkie… (ps. I got in over 5 miles yesterday.
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking
Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.
Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the People who came before you.
Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.
PL2019.11
Dancing allowing the music to flow in and around you… letting your body move to the natural rhythms so you harmonize with the world around you is a wonderful way to “let go” of body stress. Q
Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
PL2019.8
It’s interesting because it’s different
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset. “This is the way it has to be ” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.
PL2019.9
Things I gave away when I moved, now I need! C’est la vie

Ian I think you took this picture from your kayak….
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.
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.
To make progress do anything while it is still fresh.

These words of wisdom have a message for me… I am a do it now person, I have always been like that, this morning has found me dragging out my medical books and researching and refreshing my “tired’ gray cells on my actions of the past few days.
I woke to the searing discomfort of the neuropathy symptoms all clamoring to express and shout their discontent at having to share my limbs with each other. Nerves screamed, and went into an unwelcome screaming fit. I could barely manage to balance as I made my way to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. I will not bore you with medical terms, the long and short of it was my muscles cramped and toes jerked up in protest… I have learned to quiet the mind and try to still the mounting urgency to rectify the physical reaction that happens when the the tendons and other fellow body parts go into their trauma mode.
I had a small amount of success with calming the body by using a cream infused with magnesium. I had done it faithfully for weeks, and I was having night after night with no symptoms… I got lazy, or forgetful, and took to reclaiming activities/tasks that needed to be done. but I did it all at once, I threw out my support pillow (for under the legs) and then didn’t follow through and get to the store to replace it. That meant I had to use a substitute knee pillow that was not the same angle/depth and composition of what my legs were used to.. I went out the next day and got the correct pillow, but meanwhile, the legs started to grumble…
AND that didn’t trigger or jog my gray cells to remind me to use the magnesium cream after my shower. I allowed myself to be distracted and and and.. I didn’t do it when the thought came to mind, I put it off and of course, it got lost.. I didn’t do it at all.
This morning my body told me in no uncertain terms… “it was not happy” and I had to deal with the fall out.
No its not just the magnesium, there are of course other factors.. but all could have been better planned and executed. … “do it now” when you can, if something comes to mind, and it is something that has shown to be helpful, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING…or not doing… and act accordingly.
Our bodies are our life long companions… we should not take them for granted.
Have a good day everyone…
Oyashikiri

Right !!!!
Just because – I studied and researched .. gathered info. sought solutions.. if I don’t apply them .. I am not being proactive to my well being… right? right!!!!
