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,

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!!!
Be big hearted
In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

Get things started with grit
If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

I heard two words together yesterday… emotionally literate... it caused me to pause and reflect. what does it say to you?
Have a great day everyone….

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.
I put together a card, let’s see if I can paste it in here.. https://jlcards.com/aW3Tg0https://jlcards.com/aW3Tg0
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating this wonderful holiday today.



Maybe today I can indulge in a piece of pumpkin pie. I suspect there are all kinds of wonderful food dishes being prepared today, Enjoy! Share a smile! It goes a long way!
Let Gratitude show in your words and actions
When you live each day with a feeling of true gratitude, you and the people around you will be happy. Always remember to express your “thank you’s” out loud,

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.

Everyday is a new beginning!

Hello world….
Do you ever get overwhelmed by the constant “noise” that seems to happen all around you… Doesn’t matter the time of day/night… we are bombarded by everyday activities that are not always “restful”. We can wake up planning for an uneventful day and suddenly find ourselves immersed in someone else’s drama.
“Now” is always the start of something new.
Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Can you believe, November is almost over… the other day I noticed that the Holiday movies are back… I thought they happened only in December after the American Thanksgiving.. but, I guess not. (no.. I didn’t sit down to watch) I now put on “cat” music.. yup. YouTube has videos with audio/visual for felines.. who knew. The cats actually come by to check out the activities on the screen.
I also visited a SPIN site, Standard Poodles in Need (rescue & rehome) sssshhhhh just having a look… picked it up at the “pet” show I went to a couple of weeks ago.
Have a great Monday and start to a new week!
