of a gentler time. Yes there were none (or few) of the electronics we have today. Life often involved a lot of time outdoors, hard work, and a dedication to planting, and eating food that was locally grown. I have been eating local meat organically grown, grass fed etc. what a difference in taste and texture !!!
Put your effort into the “now” You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but now.

Choices, we all have to make them. Some come with answers that are easier than others. A simple, “how are you?”, “tudo bem?… requires a thought, do you just reply with “fine” or, do you reply with the thought that comes immediately to mind.??
Face challenging situations with positive determination.
When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

——————– doors found in Australia——————-
I am an avid explorer in the virtual world always searching out good locations to film/do photo shoot in, I was sent a site location yesterday by a fellow photographer from France.
I’d like to show you my experience while touring the site he sent me, I took the solo flight. It was an amazing journey through space, the artists who created this experience were spot on.. It is a meditation in itself.
in the bottom picture you can see me floating through space. It is a location I will go back to when I have more time, It was an unexpected delight. Anyone interested in taking the “trip” can connect with me and I’ll send you the LM (coordinates)

First picture is what the laneway looked like before the snow.. the last picture was taken about an hour AFTER the plow had come by to clear the lane so I could get out yesterday morning. I fortunately turned around about 20 minutes away from my home when I realized that even the main roads, although a plow had gone through, were dangerously rutted with snow caused by the cars that were trying to make their way through. Visibility was not good, blowing snow made it impossible for the wipers to really clear the windshield. I got home put the car in the garage, shoveled the snow away from the garage door piled it where the plow driver could pull it away.. did that all along the side of the house too.
You can see by the pictures of the back deck, it had been cleared of snow down to the wood in anticipation of the coming storm, I had prepared. Still, when I went out to clear a path.. so I can make my way out of the house by the back door should there be an emergency, you can clearly see the dump. It fell hard and fast for hours before slowing down,
Have a “let’s do it” attitude.
Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by the Universe/God, and accomplish it. (PL2021.14)
Yes, my legs and arms did some complaining, but life is what it is.. and I thanked God/Universe that I have the ability to do it.
on the positive .. the snow .. was feathery light, the air was intoxicatingly fresh… the breeze/wind was teasing…friends touched base to see I was alright… sure in a *perfect world ** I would have been able to just sit by the fireplace and chill with a warm ginger tea, and my love wrapped around me… substitute a heated blanket … and Quincy came to cuddle.. Hey.. life is good! Even Quinn came to purr she actually got on my lap of her own accord. Time and patience.…

Hi everyone. I asked Ron about the gate that got so much attention yesterday he sent me pictures from the area, the big Abbaye de Sainte Foy draws a lot of tourists, The door I used last time, let me see if I can find it… was in that Abby but he wasn’t allowed to take pictures beyond the door, due to the treasures within.
now we know, what lies beyond this door, and what it is a part of.
Bom dia. Today’s thought… It is a simple one and one we so often neglect to practice.
Be good to yourself
Whether you are happy or not, depends on YOUR perspective. the things that happen your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate. (PL2015.17)

You can just tell the climate is not the cold of today.. the picture was taken just a few days ago but in another part of the world. It is amazing how at the same time I was dealing with a cold that chills to the bone, a friend was wandering and taking in the sights in the Dominican Republic.
We walk around and tend to our lives (cuz we are in the moment! right!) yet someone else, at the exact time, is experiencing his/her life in a completely different way. That is what is so awesome about the world we live in. Our opportunities are so vast, so diverse. and yet…. we often find ourselves going up and down the same street, and never going beyond what is “familiar” to us.
Have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?
Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

A visit to the Sahara, Marrakech and a peek at Chefchaouen
With the white world around us at the moment, those wishing for a white Xmas this year, got their wish. And, with the deep freeze we had for a couple of days there is hope that the longest skating rink in the world will open this year. So saying, when these pictures came in from one of our “world” travellers.. I wanted to share.. the picture lower left … had me wondering why a carpet is rolled up against the outer door? Could it be there for prayers… I have other pictures to share of the blue doors found in that part of Africa… watch for them. Isn’t the brave little flower delightful. Hope you are all having a wonderful end of the year…
*** 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. Make today, a memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

There was a picture I saw of our “traveller” riding a camel across the desert. it “almost” had me calling CAA for travel arrangements.. then I remembered, cold or extreme heat.. I like cool and cold. the memory of that time in Japan during one of their “heat waves” flashed across my gray matter… I’ll continue to be an arm chair traveller… cheers everyone! See you on Dan’s page,, he is on hiatus till Jan.9.25.. but have a look. https://nofacilities.com/2024/12/26/just-in-case-3/#comment-377595
