Sometime we need to let the silence speak – look carefully at the picture, then close your eyes and enjoy…

No two doors are the same, no two people are the same, YET
Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement, (PL2023.22)
Everyday, we walk by doors and never see them. How many times have you walked by someone and not even been aware you’d done so… or … you see people all around you YET…. you cannot recognize or identify anyone you just passed. We have become so used to having “busy” around us, that we “tune out” and often are so wrapped up in our own thoughts.. we miss “the” moment.
The picture bottom left, When I first saw it, I was captured by the closed door and the open entrance right beside it. on closer inspection, I saw that they had different house numbers. Right away, I thought, “which entrance would I want to explore?” Do you have a preference?
I have learned over the years… to never judge a book by its cover.… what doorway would inspire a story from you today?

Value your intuition – Change your mind thinking “it will be alright” Do the best you can without being overly attached. (PL2021/20)
Temperatures have dipped here the last few days, a touch of days to come. The animals react to the change, their chatter is more insistent, the chipmunks have renewed their determination to gather all the goodies they can find. They don’t come out in the dead of winter, but the squirrels who stay active most of the time, are just as active. The floor of the area where I feed is alive with their movements .. I have to be careful, they are focused.
Even the Blue Jays are being demanding, not waiting, but dive bombing the minute the peanuts hit the ground.
What are your plans for today? Whatever you do… do so with the intent of enjoying every moment of your day!

Put your heart into whatever you do, and you will find joy in it. If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it. (PL2012.19)
” People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” (George Bernard Shaw)

Your true self is revealed in the smallest of words and actions. Most people act and speak carefully when faced with an important situation. However, it is also important to put your sincerity into the simplest seemingly minor tasks as well. (P2011.18)

a moment in time
does it matter if we are going forward, or if it is where we’ve been
what matters is we are here now
The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face very task/moment with wholehearted enthusiasm. (PL2012.2)

August 15, 2024
Beautiful friendships, so appreciated that Thursday Doors has opened up the joy of sharing. Marie Claude is sharing some of her pictures with us taken from her travels in the Province of Quebec…. Look at the bear! What has he discovered? I loved the flowers flowing out from this barn…. and look at the beautiful presentation of the flowers along the barn walls. You can feel the love and the artistry the creators of these views had… they laboured to create a view for everyone to enjoy!
This world is full of beauty and people who share their passion for nature- Let’s appreciate the positives!
Respect the existence of each other.
The world consists of people with different circumstances sand different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other. (PL2023.14)

In the darkness of night – when only the moon shone bright
two souls were entwined in a moment divine
the night was ablaze with twinkling stars
eternity was born
I was “home”
