remember

Listening to music, while the rest of the world went about its business, you could enjoy quiet time with your favourite furry… be lazy… and simply drift into a musical reverie. Last night I realized that it is something I don’t do enough of. Somewhere along the way, I allowed my activities to overtake my ME time. It happens. On Friday there was an Etta James night at one of the clubs I sometimes go to, it was a blues night, she ( friend who Djs at the club) was playing a lot of “old” blues. A lot of the music brought back memories of another time. Put me in a reflective mood.

Last night I was enjoying a plate of big freshly steamed shrimps (butter garlic sauce) dipped in a spicy Eda dip, with a side plate of cold ginger pork dumplings, and a topping of sliced roasted chicken c/w tasty skin. (Eda-yummy is a spicy kale edamame dip) when I realized that I don’t indulge as often as I used to.

The new year (lunar) is fast approaching, the custom has always been to begin in the months of the outgoing year, to sweep away old cobwebs and prepare for new beginnings. This year I think I would like to rejig my thought process and start reintegrating more quality Me time. I don’t mean spending more time alone, I can do that anytime, I mean revisit activities and “hobbies” that give me pleasure and add to a rather routine existence.

For those who began the new year Jan.1.2025.. how has your year been so far, notice much difference?

I have long known it is not the quantity of times you do something, it is the quality of the interactions and time you spend in your day/night. In the last many years I have been working along side someone who is a musician and plays a lot of instrumentals, (no words). I have learned to “hear” and enjoy music in a different way because the music itself allows MY thoughts/words to be part of the experience. Not a song with words painting the “storyline” for me. Make sense? any comments/input?

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook!

If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

Think a moment, do you listen to music as a habit, is it inspiring, what role does music play in your life. if anything?

Have a great start to the week everyone!

Live expressing your own unique self in your day to day life. We each are given our own duties and roles in life. Take the time to find what makes you unique, and you will be able to live your life expressing your own individual beauty.

How many roles do you play/live in one day?

On antibiotics, I have given in to the need to R E S T … ok. what does that mean.. for me, it means, I take myself off to my room where it is quiet, I lie down and just let the weariness and the tired claim my body. I gave in and bought a Ninja and made myself a banana, fruit and yogurt smoothie. Yes, I did get a Starfit and after putting it together, filling it with the ingredients, I turned it on and nothing happened. Nothing

After several attempts, I simply left it on the counter and yesterday I got the Ninja, unpacked it, transferred the fruit etc. into the new Ninja, pushed down, and voila.. an ice cold smoothie. I’ll learn, buy what you want in the first place, I made a decision based on the cost.. and it was a total waste of time. I didn’t save money it cost me more time and money. Now I have a dud I have to repackage, and take back, waste more gas and time doing something I could have avoided, if I got what I wanted in the first place.

On the plus side, I am enjoying the freshly made, very cold, smoothie. Easy wash up too.

Have a great start to the week-end …

Quincy and Quinn are doing very well. They eat side by side, they rest in close proximity… both respect my space.. It’s all good!

waiting

I didn’t see her at first… she stood so still…

Once I caught the glimpse of her waiting patiently, I couldn’t “not” see her

My first intention was to just grab a picture … then I thought I’d clean it up, take away the tree she stood behind. In the spring when the tree begins to leaf out, she will be hidden from view again. I might still do that, meanwhile, I wanted to share her… She obviously has been there for some time. I wonder at the stories she could tell.

Awww … someday… I’ll stop and …. Another mystery to unravel when time and inclination strike again…

Today Monday the 30th. there is one day left in the year 2024. Are you ready for a new year, another 365 days of adventures, new opportunities, new friends…

Use your results to make the next time even better

Whether “things” turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the next time.

NB* the Chinese new year (lunar calendar) this year will be January 29 2025, ending Feb. 16.2026 – it will bring with it, wisdom, agility and strategic foresight. If you know your sign already, this year it will be the wood snake. The wood snake year may bring some challenges in career and finances, stay positive and flexible to overcome setbacks.. Focus and health, avoid negativity and you will handle the year with confidence and success.

buttons

For all who have known me over the years… you know about my button ‘fetish’ for no rhyme or reason, I collected buttons.. and not a particular kind of button.. Just buttons, I had jars, bags, boxes of them everywhere. How many of you over the years, wondered where they all went. They got put away and stored…. for what? who knows? Finally after my husband passed away, and I began to downsize, I decided to pass some along.

One friend came over and we literally filled her trunk full of big jars, containers of all sizes with buttons. No that wasn’t all, another friend who was going to open a boutique of vintage clothes etc. came and took away another car load of buttons. No I never sorted through them, well… that is not true, one dear friend who I don’t see much these days, (part of the doll club) came over one day and ambitiously thought of sorting buttons into sizes, colour etc. It was like taking a pail of water from the ocean to count the drops.

Do I still have buttons, yes. the other day I looked down behind the bench in the living room and saw a couple of decorative bottles against the wall…yup… filled with buttons. the cleaner had dusted and put them back… to be found another day.

No. I no longer collect them when I see them bagged in thrift shops.. or in hobby shops, in fact I never even look for them, or see them except to notice they still have buttons in craft areas.. and since I no longer sew I don’t frequent material shops. Kind of reminds me of when FB sends me notices, do I want to see what I was doing 5 years ago. No. not really. I lived it. I don’t need to see it again.. there is NOW and I want to know what is around me NOW.

It is the journey that intrigues me, the adventure of NOW. I enjoyed my search and discovery of buttons, they were just fun to find and collect. I imagined at the time I would do ???? I had so many ideas.. but. in the end. that is what they were ideas. Over the years I have been full of them… and I loved every moment of “possibilities” The sharing of the spoils.. and … then… I was ready for the next adventure.

Life is what we make of it.. and I have ONE goal, and that is to be happy. When I worked I loved what I did, I experimented… if I didn’t like what I was doing, I moved on. When I found something I liked I enjoyed it to the fullest, and did my best to see how much I could achieve or do. I loved getting up each day to discover what lay ahead. I still do!

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision

It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward..

There was a time, a button saved the day.

Make today a different day

Instead of doing the same old thing, be creative and do things to improve your day.

Surrender the need to control. Let go.. Happiness begins within.

Wednesday

Always remember to be thankful and humble – everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. We are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down.

You create your reality when you begin each day in meditation/prayer

Every experience is a journey and brings awareness.

Have a good day everyone! till soon.

It is 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.

Have a wonderful start to a new week.

Wednesday

All the little reindeer are getting ready for their big haul coming up. They have to keep in shape, work their muscles, and keep their limbs flexible… build their stamina. We are being told to expect our first big snow drop…there were snow dustings yesterday. Time to put the sand and a shovel into the car, make sure the ice and snow scrapers are within reach. You ready?

When you get stuck, go back to the beginning

Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm.

For those of you following the car saga, Its back, however it is not finished, there is still a problem with the wi-fi system, I can get calls, but no one can hear me.. could be the speaker or another wire that is malfunctioning!… but it can’t go back in till the 10th. Not having it for over a week, means I have a lot of “catch up ” to do. Positive side. I will be unavailable while in my car /out on runs etc… just like in the good old days of landlines and no wi-fi in cars. Always look for the silver lining!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone, and IF you are in an area where the snow is coming or has come, please be prepared. Check your anti-freeze, the windshield washer fluids are they minus weather grade, do you have a shovel, sand/salt in the car if you travel outside the city a must ….. yup winter is here. In Canada winter tires are a necessity … NB* in some Provinces you will be ticketed or fined if you are travelling without them. Take heed. Be Prepared.

Appreciation

**Happy Thanksgiving** to all who are celebrating today!

Let’s find the good in others and praise them.

All people have good qualities and bad qualities. Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.

Let’s look at and listen to others with an open mind

Your judgement becomes clouded when you look at a situation or person with preconceived notions. Observe them for what they actually are.

Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. We, each one of us, has our own unique personality and life style. Each one of us has concerns that cannot be resolved easily. Problems that may seem trivial to others may be a serious problem for you. there is always a way. Look at and listen to others with an open mind. Let’s find the good in others and praise them.

Oyashikiri

Blessings, happiness, good health and good fortune to everyone
