Thursday doors

Good Thursday morning all. Three of the pictures were taken by a friend in Michigan, he is a very kind and talented individual, he knows of my “passion” for old buildings and doors”. The bright Xmas door is my latest find from the Dollar Tree (stores located here and in the States)

For more pictures of doors, and to follow https://miscellaneousmusingsofamiddleagedmind.wordpress.com/2019/11/14/thursday-doors-november-14-2019/ Norm has a feature every Thursday, he is the brain child of Thursday Doors.

We had a great meeting yesterday at the Doll Club, even managed to raise some money for the House of Lazarus in Mountain. (food bank) Remember to give when you can.

Always live life with a smile, life is no longer a trial when we believe.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you. Always be mindful of the situations of others not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.

Wednesday 13th

When you have been somewhere but can’t remember where it was. Someone will know and eventually I will remember. Small town in Ontario, but which one…

Photos, memories are part of who we are, were, places we saw, may see again, however, even going back, will not ensure that the moment can be recaptures, you have to see the signs of aging, and the changes, and reacquaint yourself with the wonders that were.

Nothing stays the same, the only constant in life, is change. Today, I have my doll club meeting, where a group of ladies and the occasional male gather to share in our love and romance with dolls. I will be doing a short segment today about creativity and dolls.

The last weeks have been spent, deciding who will come with me, and what and how I can share this lasting “passion” on my life. What was, was, and what is, IS. In my valise today are dolls and personalities I wouldn’t have considered before, nor was I even aware of them till the last couple of years.

This is what makes life worth living, connecting with people, learning and being open to the joys of fellowship and community. learning something new, trying something new… is always an adventure.

Don’t be swayed by the past; it’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look toward the future and start with a fresh outlook.

Make today count everyone, have a good day, allow for changes, and go with the flow. Smile at the world, it will smile back at you.

The early morning light, was not going to get any brighter, yet I found the sight of the single tree still standing with its crisp mantle of dusty orange leaves, appealing.

falling snow invites the visitor to linger

I found today to be beautiful, it was moody, it was stirring, most of all it was full of expressions waiting to be discovered.

Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you. Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

The 11th. Ancestors day ceremony, is one of my favourites, today’s service was powerful

Voices in unison we prayed, heads bent in reverence and respect for our loved ones, and those who came forward and went into battle to keep us all free from those who would do us harm.

Where-ever you are in the world, please continue to pray for world peace.

Please note that tomorrow, I am taking my “unreliable” “malfunctioning” PC back to the store for a check up. I will be back asap.

good morning world!

Good morning, look I am up and awake, maybe not yet raring to go, but I am getting there. A change in my routine, and voila, still up, fed the dogs, making breakfast. Hey! (very Canadian) just like the good old days. =^_^=. Looks like I will still make my exit from the house to run errands at about the same time. Wow I am learning first hand, when you role with change, it can be exhilarating.

Use any result, good or bad, as a stepping stone. A;; outcomes, whether positive or negative are important experiences. Let’s use them wisely for our future progress.

well hello darkness

Its dark outside, and in my world it is late 11:19pm. Because it gets dark so much earlier now, the time snuck up on me. I don’t remember actually being up this late, in a long time. I’ve been busy working and doing some of this and that, and…oh my gosh… I saw the time. The dogs gave up on me some time ago, both are sawing logs, or off chasing rabbits in their dreams.

Everything that happens to you is material for growth. Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

I wonder if at midnight I will be like Cinderella… and loose my glass slipper. Life is interesting, I can remember when I was just leaving to go out at 9 or 10 pm. LOL you guessed, it was a LONG time ago. Maybe staying up this late will mean I will be taking a later train into dreamland.. ohhhh what surprise awaits me.. fun! (likely to meet up with a different “crowd”) I get very good storylines during the night’s adventures. =^_^=

The new day will begin soon enough. I wish you all a great start to the week-end. Use your creativity and positive state of mind to have the sunniest day ever… Change always allows for a fresh start.

enthusiasm

A view of winter past

.. this view is from Michigan.. Friends of mine, who live in Michigan, shared this picture with me last year.

Yes, I could have gone out and shot a picture of the lovely snow on my tree branches and in my back yard.. but my skyline is a cold overcast gray. Choices.

My day starts with reading of PL’s reminder of the day. (From PL calendar*)

Your enthusiasm will pave the way. Your enthusiasm will fuel your efforts and creativity and will spread it to those around you, driving new developments.

Perfect Liberty 2019.7

When we start the day with a purpose, it helps us make choices throughout the day. Choices help us to grow. If we make one that doesn’t exactly work out as we had planned, than we simply learn from the experience, and move along. There are no bad days, busy days yes, living each moment with positive action, is always rewarding. Life is living, and living IS life.

In sickness and in health, till death do us part.

For those interested, the 2020 calendars are out, they make great gifts to friends, the cost will be the same as it was last year. If your purchasing a number of them and cannot pick them up at the church, there will likely be a postage cost …

complaining minds

Doll 1. I am so uncomfortable, the human couldn’t get me to sit up, so she lay me in this box.

Doll 2. well! have you not noticed she dressed me and left me without a head.

Doll 1. Oh! I see now.. I don’t think mine was put back on right.

Doll 2. My feet are cold, where are my shoes. My outfit is incomplete. You have shoes!

There is always a cause behind every result. Good things and bad things can all be traced back to the cause. Once you discover why things turned out a certain way, your outlook will change.

Neither doll has taken into consideration that they just arrived, and their owner is trying her best to figure out how, for doll #2 to put her head on. and for doll #1, when her head was assembled, for some reason, her balance was compromised Research is being done, and soon they will be as right as rain. Meanwhile neither is left naked and in bubble wrap. Shhesh! Got to love them tho’ yes?

Have a great Tuesday everyone. Sending positive happy vibes your way. Enjoy whatever you are up to.

a little cheer

multicraft gifts – Thurston Dr. Ottawa, Ontario,Canada

Did you just groan. LOL, get ready, it will soon be in your face. Crafters are already preparing, and many like myself have started the various projects mid October. There were several craft shows happening this week-end, I suspect from now till mid December there will be a craft show happening somewhere every week-end.

Whether you are prepared or not, you will be drawn in, the festive season is one too bright and merry to avoid. For Americans their Thanksgiving is this month. Double fun, and a lot of home cooking.

Accept everything with appreciation. Appreciate not just people and society, but everything that comes your way. You will experience a deeper joy in life.

Today I have a deep appreciation for my friend Bonnie, she is a wizard when it comes to organization and planning, I was lucky enough to get some of her time, to help me with my “scattered files” When my husband passed away, (he had been the master planner and keeper of the files) for me it was a mountain of a task to apply myself to what needed to be done.

Wonder woman arrived with her big blue scarf, her cape was in the wash, and giving me time to gather my wandering mind… she gently pushed the procrastination file aside and began in earnest to put some order to the disorder. A big thank you Bonnie.

I have finally reached a maturity where I can acknowledge that I’m not good at everything. >will wonders never cease< =^_^=

Express your feelings without hesitation. If you hold in all your feelings, you will feel heavy. Just say what is on your mind without hesitating.
