The everyday things you do will show when it really counts
If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.

I am revamping one of my characters for a short story I’m doing.. When doing her face. I used a skin from a designer I don’t often use… I was getting ready to make changes when it struck me that the face looked very familiar to me. I know I’ve seen it many times but I can’t place the series she was on. So I left her face the way it was… and I’m building her character around the persona I’m getting from her. If by chance her appearance rings a bell .. could you let me know.. please. and thank you.
Now for today’s quote.
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
PL2022.28
Cheers everyone, have a great Sunday.

the character was middle aged , she was not the lead, but had a supporting role and was seen regularly. She was angular and thin just like the avatar you see above
How many times have you walked into a room only to discover, you don’t recall why you decided to get up and go into that room? You knew with certainty you were on a mission. Then when you get into the room, you look at your computer, the clutter on the desk, and can’t for the life of you, remember what you got up for, I admit it has happened to me a few times, but nothing so serious that I worried about it. If its important, you’ll remember, words of wisdom … there is enough going on in the world today that we should think about… I think someone wrote a book, “don’t sweat the small stuff”.. — so how are you today? Survive the festive meals, family get togethers? Yesterday came and went in a blur. Today is another day, a new beginning..

People gather, party, dance, share moments of simply enjoying music and friendships.. This is the time of year people are out and about more than they usually are… make sure to enjoy the season, share your smile. It is also the time of quiet reflection. Whatever you decide, it is your decision.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others,

There is something comforting about looking out at a snow scene of undisturbed fallen snow against a hedge that is splattered with beautiful miniature snow sculptures.
To prepare for the cold and snow of today, yesterday the birds were busy storing up all the energy they could gather. Chickadees were gathered in numbers I’d not seen before… The “cafe” was a flurry of wings and chattering.. blue jays dive bombed the shelled peanuts, the squirrels had to really dodge the streaks of blue and eager beaks. Even the nuthatch came in numbers, not just one at a time… they went through four servings of butter bark in minutes.. It was a like a cafeteria line. Guests (human) were thrilled at the sight and smiling broadly when a chickadee would swing low and brush a glove or shoulder.
Nature is healing.
BE free of your attachments
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices, Keep your options open and be flexible.

Pretty sight to come home to. Freezer door had somehow opened, when bottom door of refrigerator in morning was closed. AND it wasn’t noticed till I came home to find… yes.. a mess.



When you have lemons, you make lemonade – I cleaned and cooked what i could save and packaged the rest to be thrown out. What a mess. No I don’t drink lemonade… but, I have lots of cooked chicken, oysters, , shrimp, lobster, clams, etc. ready to eat, sigh,,, I am thankful that I was able to simply tackle the mess and deal with it., took several hours, but it got done.
The Universe must have been watching… I was nudged to go looking for containers to restock the freezer in a more orderly fashion… and I had come home with containers .. with the intent of take everything out of the freezer and restock it using the containers. Well imagine my horror and surprise when I came home and found the pool of water, ice (green) on the floor. a bag of spinach has leaked it was everywhere.
So dear readers, I’m sorry if I didn’t get to reply individually to your kind likes and comments.. I was busy being domestic, and as you all know.. that is NOT my “strong suit” The crows will get a feast this morning, they’ll be happy,
Today’s quote..
Energy Springs from your Smile
A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

Yes, I’m smiling, that was yesterday, this is today!!!! … food in freezer is now once again frozen solid, its tidied up, and I won’t have to cook for a couple of days… yipeee! thank goodness this is Canada, and December. Always look for the positive!!!
When the anticipation of having lobster with soba noodles gets to be too much and you have to indulge. I like to cook them and let them cool, then I simply enjoy the succulent meat with the noodles. Yummy!
How was your holiday gathering…? We have been bombarded for a week about the sales happening, in some cases, the black Friday sales have been on for almost a week!
Yesterday I ran around trying to find pumpkin pie, it was everywhere during the Canadian Thanksgiving, I finally found one so I could have A piece. yes A, meaning a single piece… As much as I love a piece of pumpkin pie smothered with whipped cream… I can only indulge in one piece. Desserts are not high on my list, but the pumpkin pie was the one memory I had of sharing time with my Mom… it was a time where we shared the guilty secret of enjoying the treat on our own… (we were both diabetics) Pies elevate sugar levels!!! Mom has been gone now for almost 10 years…. festive holidays were always so important to her. So altho’ I tend to withdraw into a a quiet laid back day … I do remember her love of sharing a meal with her family, I might be inspired to call my sister.
Simple message today, it is so simple .. it slips easily past your thought process .. after you’ve read it… and agree, yup, you need to slow down… it gets tucked away … and forgotten. Please… take a few minutes today for YOU. Really, really make time for YOU.

re. lobster. No I don’t drown it in garlic butter.. altho’ that is one dip I enjoy… lately I am eating it plain, savouring the taste of the meat on its own. It is healthier for me … no after effects.. there are some great Asian sauces that are a treat, but again.,, sauces contain sugar..
The Soba noodles I drain, and cool them down under the cold water tap, then toss them in a very light seasoning.. depending on my taste wants of that moment. sprinkled with black or white sesame seeds is fun. I found a Vietnamese sauce with a tang that hits the spot too.
Sometimes there are no explanations, life is simply what it is. No more, no less.
Put your whole heart into whatever you do, no matter when or where you are. Don’t try to cut corners or be careless about things. Be fully responsible, completing whatever you set out to do.
