We all have different ways of feeling and thinking
Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

My joy today was that when I drove to the trail, there was no sign of the turkeys, I called them, and three of them came at my call. I had not been there since the spring… I was most impressed. The picture here was not from today I haven’t transferred to my desk top the ones I took today.. however, I wanted to show you my “babies”… they do make me smile..
A little late today, but .. I woke with a desire to visit the woodlands… so I did.
Do things in moderation
Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.

Today is a brand new day
If you think, “It’s just another day” your life will simply be stagnant and unchanging. you are in fact given this unique day, unlike any other so live it to the fullest.

I had not been to this trail for awhile, maybe in early spring, the crews have been busy, the bench wasn’t recent, but they took away the old deck and have built a sturdy new one.. It was a beautiful day, didn’t take me long to realize that my cell phone was not going to have the distance draw I would need to capture some of the activities I saw down the shoreline. Guess I’ll be looking for my camera when I get back.
Have to vacate the underground garage, the building is doing clean up mtce to the floor in the area where i have my assigned parking. Have a grand day everyone.

The excitement of life comes from expressing your individuality.
1st day of month = Day of Peace, service 10:a.m.
From spring to summer, what a difference. Of course I would pick a day when it is pouring rain to make the trip, but “c’est la vie” rain or shine, being in nature is a joy.
There will always be a way
If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before.

I had no intentions of going back out to the nature trails that I went to every day for 7 years,… but … one should never say never, Sometimes we need to return to what was.. to see if WE are still “in tune” with where we were back when there was no other way to start a day, It was familiar, but I am not the same woman … I felt a tug of sadness … the birds that had greeted me each day, the furry critters who came at the sound of my voice, were not to be found.. of course the time of day was different, and it was pouring rain. Still…. a gentle reminder… N O T H I N G stays the same,.
Have a good day everyone, PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop.

Beautiful day, blue skies, balmy breeze, the water looked so inviting. I was on a trail leading up and around the area between two lakes. I thought, can I clamor down that incline…. looked steep but doable. What I didn’t take into consideration was that I was alone and without walking sticks.. I would have no support in areas where it was steep. Then I looked at the trees and thought they could be support as I made my way down.
What I didn’t take into consideration was my footwear. They are the “bare foot” type shoe you see being advertised everywhere these days. They have been around a long time, and I had tried them before, but my first attempt didn’t work for me, they were just too big for my foot. These that I acquired recently from “Hike” fit me beautifully, and I had worn them all day the previous day..
The incline was steep, sandy and looked easy if I took my time…. however, when I took the first steps, I realized soon enough that there was not enough grip, and the soil being so sandy it was loose and I began to slide down much like you see people on skis going down a hill.. except I had no poles. Well wasn’t I in a pickle. I managed to get a hold on a tree I was sliding past… and pulled myself into a position where I could lean on it while I figured out my next step,
I had slipped down a couple of feet, going up would be slippery.. every fallen branch I found was dried out and rotten, they snapped and broke easily, they would not support my weight .. I couldn’t use them for leverage.
Ah… fortunately … Bonnie * came looking for me, she had gone back to the car and found me missing. From her position on the trail, she could move forward enough to pull me up. It was a giggle, however, a reminder, if you are in the woods alone, do not wander off the trail if you are not properly outfitted.
When we started out in the morning, she did say she wanted a walk… we got a walk in! She had thought we would eat at the golf course in Lac Simon but when we got there, it was closed (in parts of Quebec, places close Mondays and sometimes even Tuesday) We ended up having lunch at Le Cafe du Bistrot in St. Andre Avellin. We didn’t have a reservation, fortunately, they did find us a table. Delicious meal and well priced. They are located at 198 Principale, e-mail info@cafedubistrot.com (phone is 819-983-3966 ) there is an outdoor patio.. it is not a huge place, small and inviting.. I would think reservations would be best…. (https://cafedubistrot.com/)
Be very careful about doing things you really like
Do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you’ll lose your balance,

Been watching video on the dissection of the female anatomy. We should never take our bodies for granted,, (stop the snigger guys .. the male anatomy is the next lesson…
Let’s be thankful for everything we have right now.
“Now” is an accumulation of every moment leading up to it, and everything that continues to progress and develop to become “now” Be thankful for everything.

Such a simple statement… but oh….. so true.
Put your heart into our words
Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.

I have been writing all my life, expression whether written or creatively has always been a passion. In the move, a lot of material was unearthed that came from “past lives”…. I have been looking in wonder at some of the pieces and wondering “who” was this person, “where” was I coming from when these “expressions” were conceived. Some I have kept and will look at again, others I have “passed” on… they simply have no meaning anymore.
Learning to ** LET GO ** is a life long curve and journey that we take. I do see or recognize a thread.. some of my “instincts” and “thoughts” run deep! Never the less… I am working on cutting back,.

Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking
There are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.
