a door

When is a door more than just a door – when it lets you in to somewhere you want to be, and closes to give you privacy. I’ve shown you these beauties before.. Was in Almonte the other day got to visit them again.

These doors lead to a place of spiritual growth and personal renewal.,

WE enter and leave through doors constantly ,. some we never give a second thought to… do we ever give thanks or show appreciation for the service they render … smiles… ok… just think about how many doors you encounter in every day of your amazing life. If you had a nickel for every door you have used in your lifetime to date… I think our piggy bank would be full to bursting.

Happy Thursday everyone. – Smile . . . let someone know you care….

Exit

When a fire alarm starts going off in your building before 7 a.m. and just keeps ringing that warning sound, ahh what do you do… Thank goodness I’m on the ground floor and I have an exit right on to my patio which is just outside of the courtyard where where the fire trucks are rolling in. Yes this is the day after a snow storm that has left about 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground over whatever was there before the latest snow fall.

Today I’m showing some of the door ways that I would choose to enter… to escape the noise and the confusion that happens when an alarm goes off in a Highrise complex.. (adult living) My door that I got open with some difficulty since its middle of winter and I have not opened it since the fall, was my patio door. Grabbing my boots and trudging out beyond my hedge to the fire trucks… Firemen were coming back from doing a walk around the building looking for ???

I still don’t know what happened, but I was assured, I would be fine, and not to worry … no action was required on my part. The cats who were taking it in stride, but like myself were not happy with the shrill ongoing noise. Took another 15 minutes or so before the alarm was silenced. I can assure you, it is a rude way to start one’s day.

If you have an interest in doors, today being Thursday, the link to the Thursday Door link on Dan’s No Facilities site, will be posted at the end of this blog.


Today’s message

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through,

Since I was already outside, when I went out to find out what was going on, I grabbed my shovel and cleared my patio area. Not such a smart move with me just at the tail end of a serious chest and sinus infection.

Pumpkins

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”..

Tuesday

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.

You can learn from anyone

There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience. Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinion.

Bom Dia everyone… Make today YOUR day… S M I L E

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?

smiles

Energy springs from your smile

A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

PL2021.4

Sometimes, the day begins and we wonder how we will get through the day… The air and energy around us is heavy with pessimistic vibes, Then someone smiles, a genuine greeting … and you feel the heaviness lift. A smile can work wonders.

The excitement of life comes from expressing your individuality.

The other day while driving down towards the St. Lawrence (river), which is south of where I live, I was surprised to see that some of the trees were already showing signs of fall. We’ve had a very hot and humid summer, but fall doesn’t officially start till mid/late September. Still, I must admit, I am looking forward to the changing season. That fresh crispness that wafts through the air on clear sunny days,

Pay careful attention without overly straining yourself of taking things too lightly

Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.

PL2019.25

Where ever you are in the world, make it a special YOU day. Smile it is such a precious gift.

Curious, have you started preparing for the joyful season coming up? (including the howling time)

jeudi

Today is day for some quiet reflection. I scrolled thru some of my pictures .. taking trips down memory lane. Found some doors I’d like to revisit.

Then I found the “thought for the day” that I’d like to use today…(is the Universe sending me a message here)

Leave the past in the past, and live fully in the now

Stop living in the past. You can only focus on things that are happening right now in front of you.
