and yours alone to to walk, so much to see, so much to discover.
You will meet and walk with others along the way, but no on can walk the road for you.
Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well.

PL Precept # 19 Begin once you Perceive.
There is no denying that a new season has arrived. The leaves with the rain that we’ve just had will be dropping more then they have been. In the forest there has been the soft sound of continuously falling leaves, as they flutter to the earthen floor. I was in the right place at the right time yesterday as I drove down Ridge Road towards the parking for Mer Bleue Bog.
Praying before taking action changes the outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

For some reason i thought yesterday was Thursday and did my door post yesterday, if you are looking for the link to the weekly Door feature, here it is.. https://nofacilities.com/2022/10/27/new-old-doors/
also note.. I have now tried the CBD roll on for my arthritis in the fingers/thumb joint, with the compression glove and it does provide some relief… but I still (after a couple of days of raking etc.) needed the heavy duty pain med (over counter) from the pharmacy to sleep. As you all know.. evenings.. night time, is when flare ups can be a real nuisance.
I really do believe that this one likes to pose for me. He will set himself apart and then just pose giving me time to take his picture… all sides =^_^= … It doesn’t earn him rewards just praise and admiration.
When the camera gets put away, he will saunter off being very nonchalant. No, I cannot tell them apart once they are gathered in a group.. not yet anyway. I have to admit to being fond of them, now when I see them when I’m walking a trail, I stop and visit.. a few of them will be social, others will turn and run off towards their “pals”.. they have the cutest way of running. The other day I was treated to two of them actually flying off into the trees. It was my first time to see them lift off and fly a distance.. they are a delightful bird.
I have a question, there is a big (I think) wasp nest hanging high up on a tree at one of the sites I go to, I watched it the other day swaying in the wind. It is big, how do they suspend it and with what?
Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

Make a point of smiling, it relaxes the face and can alter your brain and body chemistry, It can also have a positive effect on the way people react to you.
Yes I cheated and put one piece on top of the other.. it was a lovely moment in time, I was wandering around enjoying the open skies, most of the leaves had fallen in the area I was walking…. I could see the fallen soldiers (from that huge storm we had in the spring). Made for a very different landscape from what I had known in the past.
We will never again be able to return to what was… we can only move forward. The forestry personnel have been in tidying up … with the leaves down, we can now really see just how many of the older trees fell over with the strong winds. AND when looking closely, we see just how scarred and battle worn they were. Especially their bodies, how over the years/seasons they had endured a zillion strikes/blows.. they also provided shelter and shade, now they are left to simply BE. Some in pieces, and others just left bare to accept the fate that will come their way.
Today being the 21st we will celebrate the most important service of the month, we humbly express our appreciation to God/Universe for all the blessings of the past month. and sincerely ask to be guided and protected in the coming month. We renew our determination to follow and practice the Perfect Liberty teachings/philosophy… PL Precept #21- Live the PL Way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Let’s live with gratitude toward everyone and everything all day today.

There were two beavers wandering and floating in the water.. the frost in the air and all over the ground did not bother them.
Fall is such a special time of year, we all have different memories about this time of year. For me it is wandering the various back roads in “anywhere” I can get to. I thought this was a happy picture, hope it brings a smile to your day.
Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

Let’s try to make Happiness contagious… smile a lot today…
When you select 7 pictures and only one shows up on your screen… you work with the one that shows up,
It was on the cool side during my early morning walk, I saw the valiant little faces along the side of the path I was on…. they looked so cheerful .. hopeful even. Didn’t matter they were somewhat tired, they were stretching up towards the sun… wanting to catch what warmth was being offered.
I felt a kinship with them. I was happy, the walk was refreshing and the birds that were around kept me company chirping away and singing as they flew about their business. For the first time since early spring I saw lots of crows this morning, they were showing up everywhere. That cheered me too, you know I love my crows and ravens. I realized that after continuous trips down the road I was on, the landmarks were very familiar to me… the fallen trees, the broken limbs, the rotting stumps… all seemed to wave and greet me as I passed. I was even noticing where animals had crossed over to the other side and made paths in the overgrown vegetation. I was tempted to take one of the paths to see where it led… but decided to save it for another day, I still had to get to the other location that I go to each morning. Yes, that moment didn’t escape me either. I have become set in my routine…
Because I am alone on the road, no one is around for miles, I hear myself talking out loud at times. Musing, when I hear a thought spoken out loud, I reflect on it in a different way than if it is just a thought in passing. I met a man with an interest in insects.. I could see him looking carefully at the trees and objects close to where he was standing. He would bend and poke at the ground, move the tall stalks/stems of plants, look under and around the leaves. by the time I reached where he was standing, I was curious enough to ask him if he had lost something. “No, not at all” he replied “I’m looking for insects that might not have made it through the night because of the frost.” I beamed, I had just learned something new. I would never have thought of looking for dead insects.
My walk did produce two more broken tree limbs that I can whittle. big grin. You see, he probably thought I was weird too, he would have seen me walking along whittling a decaying branch as I was coming his way. When I find them, they have been lying on the ground, they are not pretty, often wet and dirty, maybe of interest to a dog, but again, maybe not.. they are not that big and until I take off the rotting outer bark, look rather shabby, Because nights have been cold, they are not only wet but cold. You can feel the cold coming off them sometimes numbing the fingers till they start to warm up,
When I got to Mer Bleue I was late, having spent so much time walking and rambling at P23… there were signs the wild turkeys had been there, the ground was cleaned and you could see their foot prints and pawing. I fed the Blue Jays and put out grain for the nuthatch and chickadees etc. then started to pack up to leave.. Suddenly I had about a dozen wild turkeys running towards me.. looking for their treats.. how did they know .. I had not seen a hint of their presence, had it been the sound of the Jays calling to each other and the chipmunk and squirrels chattering over the peanuts? Whatever it was, they were suddenly very much there.
It is interesting how many people are thrilled to see them up close, I am going to have to look up how to tell a male from a female, I must have been asked a dozen times today, and I haven’t a clue. I had an appointment to get to and had to leave.. but not before I saw a lot of happy faces admiring and taking pictures of the wild turkeys.
In life we never know what the future will bring… if you had told me years ago that I would become a bird fancier I would have thought you nuts, Perhaps even unhinged… yet.. here I am today a certified wild turkey fan. Well, not just the turkeys.. I am especially fond of the ravens and crows. If I am quiet about it, no one will know =^_^=
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let’s make each day meaningful, live life with appreciation and gratitude. Live the PL WAY
Look beyond the trees over the fallen or felled… walk slowly, move forward
You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. We are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.

Precept # 1 in PL, is Life is Art. We are the artists and each day is a new canvas. don’t get stuck in the past .. and don’t live running only on a “hamster wheel”… Only YOU can take control of your life .. of that one moment. Make a wise choice today. YOU count!
Our realities begin within US.
Good morning, when you see double numbers such as 10:10, the universe is practically shouting to get your attention… Love in abundance!!! With the fall colours right now you can feel the world is vibrant. if you have a guardian angel right now.. he/she is helping you with encouragement and confidence you need to explore territories and areas unknown to you. We are encouraged to move forward, luck and prosperity is in the air. =^_^= Bom dia!!!
It is easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.
Perfect Liberty 2022.10
When we saw 10 10 we used to say, we would be receiving unconditional love from the Universe. It was a very positive sign. I wish you all a wonderful week.
It is not fun to be stuck in One Place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

Yesterday coming out of the Mer Bleue along the road that brings me out to the highway from the conservation area… the wild turkeys were doing their usual foraging enjoying the early morning quiet when a car came barreling down the road. This is a no exit road, it ends at the bog. The turkeys were making their way across the road, had to be over a dozen of them… I was slowed to a stop on my side of the road, when I saw the car. I waved to caution the driver.. but she didn’t stop, she did slow somewhat, but not really, the turkeys fortunately cleared a path for her. I guess they have had experience with uncaring humans.
I had to ask myself, what or why would someone be coming into a conservation area where people come to enjoy the quiet and solitude, to share with the animals in the beauty and bounty of nature – and have such a disregard for the critters that call this home. Of course, I had just left the parking area a few minutes past, and knew that there was a group gathering there of “seniors” who were going to be touring the bog. Several cars had already arrived for the 9 o’clock meeting time, and stragglers had been arriving the last 10, 15 minutes before I left. My guess is the rude driver was late .. and was bent on getting to the parking lot before the others took off. Not impressed.
No, the turkeys were wild turkeys and not the turkey vulture you see above.. Dirk took that picture a few years back and had graciously given me permission to use it. Isn’t he /she a beauty. When I went looking for a picture of the actual wild turkey, I spied this one and had to share.. I don’t understand myself how I’ve come to be so fascinated by the turkey type birds… but… there you have it… they aren’t even cuddly. Life is what it is… we don’t pick who or what we fall in love with.
There is that word.. L O V E …. let’s spread it around today… sprinkle it in all our actions..
When love becomes a habit and part of our every thought and action… life becomes a JOY that enriches all our moments.
