you listening?

Believe me, the deer was very aware of our movements, in a flash it would have dashed away had we come any closer. Obviously used to human traffic .. the deer was not perturbed by our presence, but there was an awareness. Basically that is the way I am, when I encounter, new surroundings, or groups of people. Aware. At least I try to be, unlike the deer I can be distracted.

In my prayers, and meditations, I ask for guidance .. to be more aware, is to be kinder to other’s feelings, avoid accidents, be prepared to lend a helping hand.. and so on. How often do we become caught up in the moment, and miss an important message, or signal, that had we been “aware” could have altered an outcome.

Value your intuition. Be aware

sharing

Two rocks, standing side by side, companions for life.. no more.. no less. Love is.

There will always be a way. As long as you are serious, there is no reason for you to give up. Move forward one step at a time and things will always turn out for the best.

peek-a-boo

The sculptures in the fall autumn settings were jaw dropping. The love of wood and what a craftsman can do with a piece of wood is something that I truly appreciate. Walking through the park I not only got to see real black bears, but the carvings of many woodland creatures.

It has been far too long since I have walked through the woods, surrounded by the falling leaves, and glorious views that are growing out of massive boulders and rock. Quebec has to be one of the most beautiful provinces in Canada (to me) when it comes to geography it blasts me away. It has a rugged beauty that can assail the senses 4 seasons of the year.

shall we share a cuppa ?

Since there is no getting out of your vehicle where the animals are, and I only had my Huawei the bears were cuddly little balls of fluff, and we know they were big waddling masses of muscles, teeth and claws. So the pictures are for reminders of that moment in time. only. We did get to see their dens, and how some liked to be social and others liked to maintain their distance This big ball of fur had a tan nose, and had placed himself high on a rock ledge overseeing his domain. Very imposing. Body language can say volumes.

What will yours say about you today?

Thursday doors

Some looked high, some looked low, we looked behind trees, deep into the trees, under rocks, finally a door was found.

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started or set out to do.

Had a wonderful outing, in fresh air, mostly clear skies, and welcoming animals. (for sure carrots were the drawing card)

Wordless Wednesday

Finding Zen

Oyashikiri

You have heard of writer’s block. The fall season for me unleashes ideas and thoughts like the rushing of water … such as you see above. It is the opposite to writer’s block, yet in some ways it is the same. Why. The ideas are so many and the desire to create so strong, nothing happens.

Time to step back and assimilate the many incoming thoughts and messages. Put some order into the thoughts so that you can process how best to express what is happening in your “head”

Your surroundings are a mirror of your thoughts. when you think “this is going to be hard” then your situation will become difficult \, instead think “let’s do this!” and face your situation with determination. then you will be surprised to see how smoothly things go.

I am so blessed with the thoughtful caring friends n my life. Two such angels arrived yesterday, seeing them, sharing with them and enjoying their so cherished gift of friendship, has already started to open spaces in my mind, allowing for some sense or order.

In stepping back from my “self” for awhile, how I want to express all these ideas that have come with the fall season and the various displays of colour, will start to appear in a way that I can explore and experiment.

It is exciting I have been gathering canvas, pulling out my paints, we shall see.

Meanwhile, this has not been a wordless Wednesday, but it is Wednesday the 16th. Have a wonderful day enjoy whatever you do… Share a smile,your inner beauty will shine through.

A friend who had been a linesman for a Communication giant, was charged with the maintenance of their lines. In those days, lines were overland. He always spoke with a reverence of the lands he traveled. He was out in the elements every day, through all the season. This year, why this year, maybe because the weather was just perfect for the changing of the seasons, in the plant world. For whatever reasons, no matter, where, or when, in whatever direction I was travelling, the glory of Nature’s magnificence was everywhere.

princess shoe

What to do….. I found a shoe….. not just any shoe …. a Disney princess shoe. Some might think I should have just left it there, after all what are chances f finding the princess who lost her shoe. I was in a Coscto parking lot, need I say more. For those unfamiliar with Coscto, they are huge warehouse stores scattered across the United States and Canada.

Coscto is a members only experience. Some like my husband, just would not pay to shop, and then there is (in his view) the insult that you have to line up to leave the store to show your receipt and have an attendant mark that they have checked your basket. AND it is a warehouse, you buy in bulk, it started out (I believe) selling only to business’s. I digress.

This little shoe looked so forlorn, If you know how much a little person, even older ones, enjoy their dolls, and the friends they make of them, you may understand, my need to rescue the shoe.

Gone are the days when I could go to the community centre and put up a notice, “found, missing shoe”. There must be thousands of princess dolls just in one area of the city, never mind the whole city. Never the less, the shoe came home with me, and now sits there wondering what it is to do since, it is missing its sister shoe.

I did wonder, what the little parent will do when she/he realizes that the little Princess has lost her shoe. Would the grown up parent go out and purchase another pair of shoes? Oh yes it can be done, but you have to know where to go. There is a whole world within our grown up one, that caters to dolls and their needs. Remember I wrote about taking one of my dolls to have her hair done and ears pierced. =^_^=

These items are all in miniature,and suitable for a doll house. Some one had cleverly done this shadow box, I found it, but did not procure it or bring it home. Ahhh was that a sigh I heard, it was faint but I do believe there was a sigh of relief somewhere out there. =^_^=

Yes the little Piglet and I did go to Montreal yesterday, we went up one highway and came back another, the colours were magnificent. I have been so dazzled the last few weeks, that I am now wanting to get out my paints, and for that purpose I am gathering my canvas in the different sizes, to see what I am going to do.

Yes, we stopped in Alfred for Steamer hot dogs, and poutine with fresh curds, no it was not lunch, we had lunch at the pasta place in Montreal with the fresh pasta and special sauces all made inhouse. Suffice to say, it was late when we got back, and I …….. did NOT eat again.

I trust you are all enjoying the holiday week-end. I count my many blessings every day.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

yes, I am one of a kind, and so are you…!

giving Thanks

This past week I have had wonderful Thanksgiving dinners with friends, too many, in fact… now that the actual week-end is here, I am “stuffed”, Not with the blessing of friendships, but with poultry, dressing and cranberry sauces. One can never have enough friends. I love my friends.

As I drifted off into a peaceful sleep. I counted my blessings, family, friends I absolutely delight in, the country I live in, its beauty, it changing seasons, and of course, life itself.

People, human beings, from wherever in the world all share the same skies, the same day to day challenges, what makes it different, is that each culture has its own way, and celebrate life with different holidays, and have different heroes and folklore. My father taught me that to be accepted, I had to first accept myself, AND, the ways of others. It wasn’t always about ME, but how I accepted life, lived it, and made my way, was indeed mine, and I needed to own my actions. RESPECT played a big part, if I didn’t understand, it was alright to ask, always with respect and an open heart.

Granted often food was involved, we considered it an honour to eat with friends, guests welcomed to our table, were always shown the utmost respect, and when out, there was always the reminder to be considerate of others.

Now we sit in restaurants, each at our table, or booth, the place can be packed with other diners, but not a glance is given, or a smile offered.

How is it in your “world” are you someone who is open to smiling and greeting a total stranger, if only briefly, with a sign of recognition that they are another “person” just like you….

Bonnie

Do my friends know me .. or what…

Bonnie is away celebrating the Thanksgiving (Canadian) long week-end with family in other parts of the Province. She saw this and stopped to capture it, knowing she would delight me to pieces when I opened her e-mail.

I noted Bonnie you remained a lady, and unlike me, didn’t go over and take pictures all around the vehicle, and even try to waylay the owner. =^_^=

Friends are worth their weight in gold, and more. Have a good day everyone. Ancestor’s day service will begin at 10:a.m. this morning.
