Decisions

Things start happening the moment you decide. From the moment you decide “I’m going to do something” things begin to happen. Ride your initial wave of enthusiasm to get things done efficiently, (2011.15)

Physical pain is something that everyone endures differently. Acceptance of discomfort as we age, and the various symptoms that become annoying and sometimes, ever present… can be challenging.

” And now you ask in your heart, “how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?” Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is in the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower, a bee is a messenger of love. And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.” (The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran)

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you when you are happy or when you are troubled. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others, (PL2023.15)

hello!

Hello… remember me.. I am here even tho’ I’ve been boarded up … I can still see you as you pass me by… no longer interested in how I’m doing … I miss the sunny smiles, and the cheerful greetings of passersby … It isn’t my fault that fate happened, and I was made redundant.. .. I do smile as you walk by and hope you will feel the cheerful greeting I send you..

Everyone is in such a rush today, always in a hurry, or looking at some object in their hand… I once had flower beds under me, I could watch as each planting grew each year from budding babies to beautiful petals in such an array of delightful colours. Visitors would stop to admire the flowers and always there would be a smile my way .. Alas that was another day,

As we age, we do see and live through changes, Some changes are life changing, and there is no going back. The reality is.. there IS NO GOING BACK… we can revisit the place, but not the time.

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 toward the future and start with a fresh outlook. (PL2015.9)

The key!

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is. (PL2014.5)

Update on the car. the smell of moth balls is overpowering. It means the car is used for essential travel only. I’m told that it will be a few more weeks before the smell will dissipate. Thanks for following up. You are all so appreciated. Enjoy the new month, the mosquitos here are still on full attack, although wearing the protective netting has made a difference. Not taking pictures tho’ exposes the hands for too long, and gloves are…well.. let’s say… for now I’ll pass. Have a good day everyone!

Goals

Set your goals a little higher each time. If you keep avoiding difficult tasks, the joys and experiences in your life will be shallow. Always challenge yourself by setting your goals a little higher each time. (PL2012.03)

When the road ahead seems to go on and on,,. and each step you take feels slow and tedious.. stop and rest… When we are tired and our mind is on overload… taking time to “regroup” is something you do for YOU. We all need ME time.

This is a happy bunny – hmmmm contentment!

another day begins

Good morning everyone, today being Thursday I’m sharing a couple of doorways that I found along the St Lawrence (the river between Canada and the USA) It was a beautiful day for a drive .. a friend and i had an “outing” … there is a food stop along the hwy that runs along the river to Cornwall. It was a lovely day for a drive. the hamburgers are actually made with real meat patties,,, the fries are delicious. everything is made fresh on the spot, Rather than just sit and visit, we explored and enjoyed the beautiful day, Bonus,, I found some great welcoming doors.

Today’s quote..

New Encounters can help you change, Be up for anything even if its out of your comfort zone This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being, (PL 2020.30)

Being Thursday, if you would like to visit more doors .. please visit Dan’s No Facilities site.. where other “door/architecture” lovers will post on Thursday Doors. https://nofacilities.com/2024/05/27/memorial-walk-tdwc/

For those who have asked for the last post on my virtual post site… This is the link https://virtualnws8.ca/

Update .. my car came back to me yesterday, it was detailed and repaired, it looks factory new. Smells like a new car The dealer (Surgenor GM Ottawa ) did an amazing job of repairing it and getting it back to me as soon as possible. Their customer service team goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after a client’s needs. We all hear the advertisements, but this is a team that provides and excels at looking after their customers.. remember how they helped when my car rebelled on me when I was out in the woods…

The Service Advisor who looks after my car when it goes in, for regular maintenance and other required services is excellent at what he does, And it is not just him, it was so busy when my car had its breakdown, a member of the mgmt. team gave of his time to help out. No wonder everyone who uses Surgenor has only praise for the service they provide Whether it was the car jockey or one of the mechanics they are tops! The critters did the car in, chewing wires and whatever else they could get at.. but the staff at Surgenor saved the day! Kevin (service advisor) thank you.. you wore your super hero cape again!

There you have it.. my post for today, now I’m going to go and drive my all cleaned up and road ready Buick!

Remember to be kind and smile today… it always comes back to you!

nos momentos dificeis da vida

Nos momentos dificeis da vida….. in difficult moment of life,..step back, stop and listen to the voice within. If you can… visit a place where you can meditate/pray … take in the silence, the quiet, let your body/mind recalibrate, release negative and worrisome energies.. In areas where the seasons change, the transition from winter to spring can be a gradual change or a dramatic explosion … ie. severe weather warnings, forest fires, flooding..

You are never alone, even if at times it feels that way… Turn on the flame of hope… let the Universe help you to find inner peace.., The rain will feed the plants that are waking after being dormant for months on end .. spring flowers are blooming, the other day I passed many lilac bushes already bursting with colour.. I would have gotten out to see if their fragrance was filling the air, however.. I was stopped from following that thought process,, when I saw the mosquitoes eagerly waiting for me to get out of the car.

Life is a balance…. PL Precept # 20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter..

Pl Precept #1 life is art

Here are some of the birds I’ve heard singing these past couple of mornings.. chestnut sided warbler, gray catbird, red eyed Vireo, Great Crested Fly Catcher ,Oven bird, wood thrush, hermit thrush, there were of course many others, but these are the newer ones for me.

Magic

Strive to overcome obstacles by changing your mind frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things The outcome is in your hands. ( PL2020.17)

Bumped into a friend who I had not seen for a long time, yet we are often in the same area/place… we just don’t get to have a one on one. Of course the opening question is always, “how you doing”.. “doing great” was my reply…a voice inside my head asked,,… “is that really the right answer, or is it your polite answer”. Strange I thought, why was my inner voice popping up.. I was doing .. I am doing fine… Soon, I knew why I was being kept “present”… my friend was answering my “how are you?”

It is easy to give an automatic response, it can be “habit”… when we do that, we are not always “present” and hearing what the response is that we are getting from the friend we have just asked the same question to. The moment passes and the opportunity to be there for someone passes with it. Friendships are special, true some are fleeting.. but others last a lifetime… In making each moment one of “value” we never regret “missed opportunities”.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point,

Pl Precept #15 All is a mirror
