This little gal has been popping over in the mornings for treats. At first she was the only one that graced the dining area… now.. I’ve noticed she has male suitors? or friends who are also joining her at the feeders. AND I’m happy to report .. the chickadees are coming around, I’ve seen them now at both P22 and P23. Last fall/winter they were not around too much. I’m hoping that with the change in menu they might show up more regularly,

If you’re going to do it, do it joyfully. If you have to o something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.
Contentment, is when you feel a peace that is filled with joy, happiness and a bliss that is beyond words … it can last a moment … it can be a second of awareness … … … when it visits … … you know the experience is to savor.
Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement
OK I resisted putting in a winter theme picture, but last night… I have no idea why, a song came up in my head, we have all been there, and nothing would do but I find the song and listen to it properly. Did I find it yes and no. I found all kind of versions, but the one I was hunting for. I did find this one, https://youtu.be/5Aa_9ruWPnA?si=7wTQRxR1f7fMU6BC … it was the sax part that I wanted to hear… Anyway, I searched for a good hour or more, in the end I did find a version I remembered but by then I was too tired and had missed my falling asleep moment. Not everyday/night is a perfect.. pleasant dreams night … where you wake up all sunshine bright next morning.
I should have had my scallop snack, they provide serotonin and magnesium .. my cooking pals out there.. I’ve become a scallop fiend I want them 3, 4 times a week, LOL Gail rolling your eyes… I simply rinse them. drop them in a pot of boiling soup stock, drain them .. cool them and pop them like popcorn. (the wee ones) the bigger ones I sear ..in butter and garlic. No.. I know, there is no hope for me.
Be grateful for everything.. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who reached out and wished me a happy birthday. That is a huge positive in one’s journey when we are blessed with the kindness and thoughtfulness of others. Special hugs to you, filled with appreciation and gratitude.
When life just gets too hectic for words, Wouldn’t it be great to just ( TP (teleport) ) wish ourselves to a quiet place where we could just sit and let the world sail past… for awhile anyway.

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive
Start the day with a smile, you will have a great day!
Got up .. too bad, so sad, no more place… guess it must be time to get up, Bed Pals .. or maybe today they are Bed Hogs. Whippets doing what they do best. Velcro on the right is 16 years old, Keeper is 11 give or take a day ….Usually wonderful companions.. and stay on their own side … but… this morning for some reason, they wanted more space, They are both watching to see what my intentions will be.. I was gracious and let them lie… (had to get up anyway it was 5 a.m. and still pitch black outside.. sigh…)

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
Bring sunshine into someone’s life today, say “hello” share a “smile”
Leaves have started to change, there is a new nip to the air that hints that it won’t be long, already the days are shorter. When I wake up now, 5 ish, it is still dark outside. There are still pesky mosquitos lingering, but soon I am hoping to see the last of them.. man they are annoying.
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.(always a work in progress for me)
How is your start to a week-end? Hopefully you will enjoy not only good weather but some of the fall fairs and concerts that are happening around the city.
Your willingness to learn will make you shine even brighter. As long as you are motivated to learn more, you will continue to progress in life.

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
Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you are troubled. also it will be a good chance for you to get to know others,
Respect the existence of each other. The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other,
