Have a seat – sit a spell
Value those who are nearest you. It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse/family members /friends really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

I used this imagine in my collage yesterday, I don’t know what it is about this time of year, but I simply do love seeing the forest take on “NEW LIFE” … The water will evaporate, the stump will dry up…. the world will present me with a whole new look in a matter of weeks. The birds that had been dropping in for visit over the cold brisk days of winter, have moved on. Occasionally a blue jay will see me and come screaming for a peanut, but all in all, the birds/animals are feeling the delicious calls of “nature” ….
Today is the 21st. in PL, the 21st is a day of celebration, it is a day where we offer our appreciation/thanks. Time to give thanks for the bounty we are presented with daily, for the friendships we share, and especially the gratitude of simply knowing love in our lives. I know love is such a small word with such big meaning.
Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day.
Each and everyone of your actions can inspire peace within your family, your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to world peace.
PL2020.21
Live with love in your heart… share your gratitude with your family/friends ? Happiness begin within.

A walk of discovery in the rain the other day. I love the quiet at this time of year, the awakening of the forest floor… the miniature ponds where winter snows have not yet evaporated. The falling rain plops into the standing water, creating beautiful little waves that dance and make merry… New growth hungrily soaks it up. I walked the old road towards the research station…. saw the sign that intrigued me when I first started to explore the area…
It is hard to imagine that this was once a thriving country road, with a tree farms, and other country homes. A speed limit of 60 mph or was it after the metric system came to Canada. ? . Change, the only constant in life!
For those celebrating a holiday week-end… may Peace and Glad tidings warm your hearth this cool misty spring morning.
We are each and everyone of us, “different”… we have our way of thinking and our own lifestyles. That is what makes life interesting. (PL2020.20)

Walking in the rain is exhilarating
Pictures taken in Crete, where they are celebrating Xronia Polla (“many years” heard in Greece around Christmas, New Year’s at Easter, etc)
Value your intuition
When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something, you should act upon it right away.
We are all celebrating the week-end in our own way – whatever you are up to, enjoy being YOU. Because, YOU are unique!

One door closes – another opens.
Strive to overcome obstacles by changing your mind-frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things. The outcome is in your hands. (PL2020.17)

Took a walk down that road you see on the right, it is blocked to traffic only vehicles are the researchers when they come to the bog… and head for the research buildings to check their equipment. Rain was forecast, but you can see where I was… the skies were still blue.
Middle picture was taken at Lime kiln “park”… this is a long trail that starts off at one end of the city and goes a long way across land, you can hike right through to a different parking area.
The picture on the left, you would have seen versions of it last spring and the spring before that, I love that little stretch of woodland… in the spring the ground is soaked with ground water and melting snow.
The pictures are silent, but believe me the whole time I am out, the birds are singing up a storm and flying overhead. In a short time, the outdoors will be a challenge if you are not one who likes being attacked by flying insects/mosquitoes … for people with allergies, the pollen and the mould spores… are irritating – but – aside from that… there is anticipation in the air.. Its exhilarating
Be creative in your efforts.. If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are taking the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.

Here is some cuteness for you…

A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.
When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face. (PL2014.15)
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 …

This is a new day …
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.
