choices

Hungry anyone?

When one is in the middle of a move, not much thought is given to meals… I just grab what is easy, and chomp it down. Not good when you are diabetic. Not good at any time really. Last night I had a reminder that neglecting one’s intake of water, & eating properly at decent intervals is not good! But then, Like magic …I heard an echo… a voice of calm that centered me… lulling the restless mind into a calm zone.. I fell asleep and actually slept till almost 3. There is so much to think about and do, I did manage to get back to sleep and wake up feeling rested.

Face challenging situations with positive determination

When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively find solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

PL2019.13

In life there are always choices… it helps to focus on what is happening in that moment, what you are thinking an how you feel, before making decisions that will impact you going forward.

Cheers everyone,. till soon.

lundi

I live on an island where my front door opens to this view. I can spend hours watching the water swirl and listen to its song as it makes its way around the rocks. I can even watch the sky as it turns from dawn to dusk…. It is true I can’t get to it every day, but it never leaves my heart or my thoughts. We live alone on this island, there are neighbours on other islands, but we are fortunate in that, living in different time zones, we are seldom on our properties at the same time. This is the beauty of living in a virtual world (smile)

By now, you have if you are a regular to this blog, have read I am moving and have seen the story I shared with you the other day about the “Little House” https://youtu.be/F74CR1uqXFA?si=M4Fxvkml523xj3Al I have heard back from a few of you who took the time to watch the YouTube version of Virginia Lee Burton’s .The Little House. thank you,, I appreciate that you took the time to view it.. it tells the story of what I am living in a very poignant way.

For days now I have been going through photos, correspondence etc that accumulates when you have lived in one house for over 25 years. The faces of friends now long gone, or living in “space and time”. It had been tedious and long.. my hands ache at night from the constant pulling, and tearing of papers for recycling. But … in all the frustrations and challenges, I have found happy moments seeing the faces of people I once worked with, and shared special adventures with.

I am tossing a lot of “stuff” out.. a lot of what can be recycled will go to charities. Leaving 3 levels of living space, to go to a 1.5. apartment is certainly going to be a new adventure. The hardest is knowing that my gardens the green space I have surrounded myself with, will be no more. The animals that alive here …(Outside) will have to find another oasis. There is no doubt that my little house will be razzed to the ground, and with it the vegetation that has sheltered us for years will disappear.

You have all heard me say this before… life is to be lived and enjoyed, don’t squander your moments …. embrace life…. appreciate your friends…. and protect nature as best you can. Reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in awhile.. smile at a stranger… life is precious.

This was taken by my Dad who was an avid photographer, he took the pictures and developed them himself. And it was a time when we could enjoy country sides like this on a hike not far from our home. You guessed right if you thought, not so now…

the little house

I want to thank Eliza for sending me this link… I sure needed it this morning… moving is so hard in many ways I know it is a new beginning… but …. It is a challenge…

I will get through this… I have wonderful friends who have been so thoughtful and helpful. I am blessed to have them in my life. There is an expression, “WE PICK OUR FRIENDS, etc.”

Take care of things as they come to your attention.

When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.

Have a wonderful day everyone…

Be Sincere and honest toward the people and situation you encounter.

Your expression comes to life through your interactions with people and situations. Strive to put your whole heart into having good relationships with those around you.

what ?

What a hoot!! Let’s see if you can tell which house is mine ?

Ok everyone now knows I’ve put the house up for sale… the once quiet residential area I fell in love with, has become a very different place, with a totally unfamiliar vibe. The real-estate agents listed it yesterday, there is now a sign in my front yard. Thanks Bonnie for looking up the listing for me.

I have had many encouraging messages, for that I thank you, it has been a mouthful for sure. There are a lot of memories associated with the place. When we bought, the property was bare of vegetation. There is a cherry tree that gives an abundance of cherries every spring, and in early spring there is a Saskatoon Berry tree with amazing berries. The birds, love the trees and visiting the property. I will miss them. There is even a rabbit that lives somewhere in the neighbourhood, spends a lot of time in my front yard. (wonder why)

In the back I have a maturing magnolia, maple, evergreen, and an assortment of other small trees and vegetation… In my new place (apartment) I have an outdoor patio, with a hedge .. that will be my greenery. All things must evolve and we must embrace new beginnings.

evolve

Evolve – develop gradually… the birds have landed ..they have taken up residence in a beautiful landscaped private garden.. where they get to hear the water flowing, enjoy the sunshine No more having to deal with cats climbing up/over and around them. they are in the fresh air and will be able to enjoy just being in the moment.

I go and sign the lease today … I’ve booked movers for the 16th. my journey is well underway.

Turn your intuitions into actions

Appreciate each intuition you receive and take action right away. By doing so will invite good fortune.

Saturday

Leave the past in the past and live fully in the now

Stop living in the past. You can only focus on things that are happening right now in front of you.
