Be creative in your efforts
If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on. (PL2014.16)
I realized this morning that yesterday I travelled through two provinces and followed along the St. Lawrence River and part of the American shoreline… the weather was amazing, ambiance and landscapes were picture perfect…. and I didn’t take one picture. Not one. Never even occurred to me I was so in the moment. Lost in the beauty of NOW.

A charity rally yesterday, bikers ready for the start of the tour. It began in Plantagenet Ontario, and was going to end with a spaghetti dinner in Alfred later in the day. The weather was awesome for the ride, good showing, and hopefully a successful event for the fund raisers.
A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.
When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face. (PL2014.15)
There is a sense of freedom when you ride a bike that I’ve been unable to replicate over the years. I’ve toured before, years ago now, but the feelings that I acquired from the rides has never gone away, I still smile when I see another rider on a touring bike go by. Noted yesterday although there were a lot of couples who rode together on the same bike. Many of the ladies had their own ride. THAT was a pleasure all on its own. I was given riding lessons MANY years ago for my birthday… but I was never brave enough to follow through. I liked being a passenger. =^_^= Spent many happy hours on a Honda Gold Wing.. and a Tiger (Triumph)
Cheers everyone.. make today a day of SMILES…

Many of the riders were from the Hawkesbury Harley Davidson club… sorry there were too many bikers to get a full picture of all participants and the various clubs that participated. If anyone knows or has information, please let me know. There were all makes and models of bikes there.

Remember how you felt in the beginning.
Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh. (PL2015.14)

Can you feel it., it is only mid September but I can feel the crispness in the air in the early morning, and the various shades of reds/oranges/rust etc. are appearing against the many variations of greens. Whopppeee!
Open up opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the door. use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way. (PL2015.13)

Bom dia, how are you today. It’s Thursday (quinta-feira)… Today’s quote is from the 2021 PL Calendar. Not having an English calendar this year (from headquarters in Japan) has been very worthwhile. I have had to resort to perusing all previous years from my files to use PL motivational quotes to share with you each day. it’s been a positive experience.
Let’s being today with a smile, Let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover. (PL2021.12)
There is something about buildings that were built in years gone by…especially the old wooden structures.. and the old churches. I have a lot of infill builds happening in my neighbourhood. Somehow they lack the warmth and character of “older” builds. Those of us who have been taking pictures of buildings/doors/windows… architecture in general… our “vaults” are full of “historical” visions of the past.

Good morning… the cooler weather in the mornings is refreshing. the quiet on the bog is deceiving, the other day I thought I was alone, there were no cars in the parking areas as I drove by. Out of my car, I didn’t even see the doves.. the blue jays came when the peanuts were served, otherwise, it seemed usually quiet. I looked up into the trees to see if there was a bird of prey in the area.. but .no.. it was just quiet. I knew the turkeys were down by the farm, I saw them when I drove past.. they would be headed up my way, they had started to chase after my car… so I knew they would arrive.. but… I still found it unusually quiet…
As I walked away from the feeding area.. towards the boardwalk and the water, I could sense I was being watched…It was such a surprise.. cuz I knew .. just knew… there was a pair of eyes, watching me. As I strolled past the first path leading off to the right, I heard a rustle of leaves… I turned slowly towards the sound and saw that there was movement away from me, the lower branches on the bushes were still slightly swaying.. Was it the groundhog, no he knows me and would have come to the feeder area. Then I remembered the mother racoon and her wee ones, they had been around the other day… but no.. she would have just gone up to nosh on the fresh offerings in the dining area.
Slowly I turned back towards the water, and moved on… one of the pleasures of having the woodlands to myself, is that I may not actually see the other visitors to the area I’m wandering in.. but I know they are there. and… eventually the visitor will make itself known if it stays around… I’m there every day, 365 days of the year… I am learning from the animals.. not to rush, to take my time… to always listen and be aware of my surroundings. IF not now, maybe another time, when it is “right” it will happen,
