Even if you have done it many times before,
put your whole heart into everything you do,
even if it’s something as simple as pushing a button.
…Believe …

Shrouded in mist… another day begins.
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. It is important to do our best to have harmonious relationships with everyone around us.

It is all about the look, she would look at you with such a look of total amazement that you really thought she would stay put and not go into the water. This was a dog that the breeder gave up on and unwillingly let me have her because she was a dog who simply had a mind of her own. During shows, she would suddenly decide she had enough and would calmy sit and refuse to move .. or .. she would walk off the show ring floor back to her crate.
She became my soulmate, my best friend, I bonded with this dog like there was no tomorrow. I still mourn her loss to this day.. but her spirit, her devotion, and unfaltering caring will never leave me. She taught me so many “life” lessons.
I spent a good part of my morning yesterday with whippets A totally different breed, they were in their home, I was a guest. Since acquiring Quincy last year, I have learned to live with a feline(s) in my life. Not the same at all. Now of course he has a “sister” Quinn. Interacting with a cat .. is not.. like living with a dog, or vice versa.
In life, we are constantly on a journey of discovery… what I have learned and continue to experience, is…
If we are content with the status quo, our progress will stop. In PL, we suggest, to always seek for ways to improve, to continue to move forward, one step at a time.

Everything in life happens for a reason.
There need not be reason or rhyme, it simply IS.
I held a two week old puppy in my arms yesterday… what a sweet bundle of love.

Whether coming or going, at home or 1000s miles away, There is no escaping, who you are, or what is happening in your “head”. We cannot always be where we want to be, or be with someone we want to be with. But.. always you are stuck dealing with the ramblings and thoughts that wander in and out of your “active” mind. Someone once said to me ” I wish I was on a holiday somewhere” I asked “why?” The reply I got was “so I don’t have to deal with all this “crap” “..”won’t it be here when you come back” I asked. “Yes! but I will have had time away from it all”
Sound familiar? ever have such thoughts? Ever try that? go away… take a break … when you come back is it easier to deal with?
For myself, if something is bothering me, I deal with it. I face it, deal with it, and then “let it go!” One blogger friend, I read took a solo trip … exploring this wonderful part of State that had amazing landscapes… I very much enjoyed her pictures, her adventure… that was a breath of fresh air … I didn’t have to deal with packing, unpacking, crossing state/provincial borders, dust, heat, strange sleeping arrangements. Guess I’m getting set in my ways… hmmm you think!
Willingly take on tasks that are behind the scenes
Be the one who is able to proactively take on the troublesome tasks that no one likes and for which they are not recognized. By doing so, you will be filled with a genuine feeling of accomplishment.
Life is full of surprises, some are happier experiences than others, but part of the journey is discovering new possibilities when we least expect it… I am winding down from the “need” to get a new car when it was not in my plans, or something I wanted to do.. I took my 2019 for her last drive to our haunts in the country, I loved that car,, she was my companion ..my comfortable place to be when the road got bumpy, I hope she will be happy where-ever she lands.
Everything in life happens for a reason, no matter the season… your life is what it is…. Sh#t happens, when we have been around long enough, we know… the only way out, is to focus on the road ahead and keep moving. It is all about the journey.

Love a four letter word that defies any one definition
**no matter where you are, if you have a problem that won’t go away, distancing yourself physically, will not erase that “problem” from your gray cells. You will carry it with you…it will shadow you where-ever you are.

This was what I was greeted with yesterday.. and yes it is still there today! If lucky the temperatures will warm up, it is sunny, just maybe, it will disappear. But this is Ottawa, and it is Canada, so…. Mother Nature will eventually turn the page and we will head merrily along into the bright days of spring.
View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress.
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.

On another note… a big thank you to everyone who attended the Sunday performance of the MMAC 18th anniversary. The Trow Boa Experience, featuring all originals written and performed by Trow (saxophonist) was a “sell out” performance.

May the lucky cat be with you today.. Let the sunshine bring you happiness, the clear skies beckon you … Today is the start of a new week! Enjoy.
At night let the stars burn bright for you. Watch them twinkle and shine. Tonight when they light up the sky- know at midnight .. tomorrow will arrive right on time.
Put your heart into everything you do!
With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights. Even when you put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something.
