Wednesday

Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well. (2022.29)


Today is Wednesday .. however I woke up thinking it was a different day of the week, and began to plan accordingly. It was a surprise to find out.. No. today was Wednesday. This is what happens when you take my car away. My daily routine yesterday flew out the window when my car refused to open up for me. Then when finally I did get in, it wouldn’t start.

Ok not the end of the world, but I did have to come in and cancel all my appointments for the day. Neighbours had to wonder why I was sitting at the end of my laneway for hours on end.* Had to wait for dealer who was sending someone to find out what was going on with my car. (Note. I live a short distance from the dealership.. that said they are absolutely wonderful in every way when it comes to service ALL the time.) (*maybe slight exaggeration)

I had to also cancel and rearrange all my “meetings” for today too. Today will be spent trying to find a way to store items that I will no longer carry/store in the car. Remember the cute picture of the squirrel in my trunk when I was in the woods.. (where I go 365 days of the year).. well … my car problem was, critters ate my wires that part of the system that “ran” my automobile.

So,….yes… someone has to rework, rearrange her way of doing things.

Time to regroup as the saying goes.

On the positive, my car is going to be thoroughly cleaned and detailed… and I will have a cleaner garage (yes I use mine, my car is in the garage all seasons…=^_^=) AND my body will get a breather from the mosquitos and pollen .. I don’t know how or when the got at me, but UGH they did.. I have reverted back to my longer outdoor vest.. even with long sleeves and my hat with netting, the other day wearing a shorter summer vest, they got under clothing and bit bit bit.

Too many words today.. I had thought of doing Wordless Wednesday… right! That went by the by.

How is your week going?

Tuesday

Don’t blame others. It is easy to place the blame on others and society for the problems you encounter in life. But you are the one with the power to change the outcome. (2019.28)

today

Live Radiantly as the Sun. Strive to always be bright and cheerful so you can enliven those around you. (2020.27)

For me it is allergy season, (and let’s not forget the pesky bugs/mosquitoes)… I do my morning rounds and then come home.. There is an ad on the telly … where the windshield of a car is covered in pollen. Argh. If you suffer from allergies, you know how that picture can strike horror… ugh. I’m fortunate that as I’ve progressed in life (another way of saying aged) my symptoms are actually much diminished. AND no matter how it looks, I wear a hat with a netting all around it. Works wonders,

In my younger day, EGO would have likely not added such an item to my wardrobe essentials, Now I have two! One in a light beige and the other in that woodsy gray/green. one is smaller and fits my head just right, but the other was the only left in the store, it is bigger… but ., you know what.,, it covers a broader part of my shoulders, At first I was concerned my little friends would react.. but “food” is my calling card.. they don’t care if the human is wearing a silly hat,, They even know my car.. I’m not parked yet and I see the animals making their way to the “diner”…. Depending on my time of arrival, they can be impatient and scold and call out their impatience.

I have been doing this long enough now, I hear the early morning calls when they begin their mating songs.. and then there is the call of the babies… when parents are out getting food, The one bird I’ve gotten to know better is the woodpecker. It is fascinating to me how they have found ways to communicate to me, what they like and where they prefer me to put it.

Change is the only constant in life.

I was asked the other day if I think of myself as a happy person. YES I DO… and in fact, I now can say .. I also know contentment. …. do smile today,. life is to be lived and enjoyed,

Life is Art

Oyashikiri

Remember to say “thank YOU” today, and share your smile.. it is beautiful.

mirror

Good or bad, it is your mirror. Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble. (PL202024)

life

Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things, you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more

Oyashikiri

Nos momentos dificeis da vida….. in difficult moment of life,..step back, stop and listen to the voice within. If you can… visit a place where you can meditate/pray … take in the silence, the quiet, let your body/mind recalibrate, release negative and worrisome energies.. In areas where the seasons change, the transition from winter to spring can be a gradual change or a dramatic explosion … ie. severe weather warnings, forest fires, flooding..

You are never alone, even if at times it feels that way… Turn on the flame of hope… let the Universe help you to find inner peace.., The rain will feed the plants that are waking after being dormant for months on end .. spring flowers are blooming, the other day I passed many lilac bushes already bursting with colour.. I would have gotten out to see if their fragrance was filling the air, however.. I was stopped from following that thought process,, when I saw the mosquitoes eagerly waiting for me to get out of the car.

Life is a balance…. PL Precept # 20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter..

Appreciation

Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day. Each and everyone of your actions can inspire peace with your family, community and the word around you. This peace will eventually help lead to World Peace.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

Did you know? Every spring grouse come from near and far to perform elaborate courtship dances at their breeding ground. Around sunrise the males spread their tails and inflate their feathery chests repeatedly in one of the fanciest dance moves ever made by a bird. I have been blessed by hearing this .. I’ve heard it but have yet to see it.. It is awesome.. the first time I had no idea,, .another birder explained it to me.. Nature is fascinating.

Bom dia!

ever wonder how many eyes are watching you?

It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyles. That’s what makes life interesting. (PL2020.20)

I’ve heard almost a dozen new birds (to me) the last couple of days.. I’m heading out early. Have a great day everyone!… and I’m getting to see younger animals testing their legs. . It all happens early before the heat of the day.
