Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
Thank you again and again…. It feels great if someone tells you “Thank You”, even many times. By repeating this, become a person who comes up with the words “Thank You” naturally.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (note the turkeys are watching their backs!!!)
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve been blessed with so many wonderful people in my life. Some I see sometimes, others I may not see often, but always, there is communication of some kind. Alan Watts (Alan Watts was an orator and philosopher of the 20th century. He spent time reflecting on Personal Identity and Higher Consciousness.) believed, we were all One, and friends were an extension of ourselves.
In PL, one of our Precepts is… All is a mirror…. Precept #15
After spending time with a number of friends yesterday, I went to bed feeling elated and pleased. So many different personalities, yet, every single one I visited with, spoke to, spent time with, gave me pleasure by being who they are.. I felt very blessed to have shared time with them. It was like receiving a bouquet of flowers, Each flower, leaf, stem unique… together they were a beautiful vision, and then when you look at each one, you saw/see another kind of beauty .. no one flower was the same, each had /has a personality of his/her own.
Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness,

I had to reread this quote a few times to have it sink in, Does it resonate with you?
“let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover,” PL 2021. 12
Well done is better, than well said.
Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed, There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.

Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understanding each other.

Listening is an ‘ART’… on my walks I listen… for nothing in particular, it is an exercise… being quiet and listening to my surroundings. When I began this exercise many moons ago, I found that my thoughts would often vie for my attention. The chatter could get rather annoying, with time, I learned to accept and let go of the thoughts that pushed to the front for attention.
An interesting “realization” came one day when I noticed that when the chatter ceased to be a nuisance, I “saw” things more clearly. In my walks I saw the smallest details in the over crowded vegetation, like the lens on my camera.. details became visible, giving broader perspectives. My mind took visual pictures that translated themselves into sometimes verbal, other times nonverbal moments of awareness.
Listen to others until the end, If you put your thoughts first, you will not be able to listen to others until the end. Firstly, listen to others to the end and understand them well.

Take time, make time…. to stop during the day… just stop… close your eyes… and take in the moment. No reason, just because. It will be the pause that refreshes. Smile you are being wrapped with a warm hug of love and appreciation.
Day follows night. Seasons change. Fall is slowly creeping in, the colours are beginning to emerge, the darkness when I wake at 5 is always something I have to get used to, During the longer days when there is light… I feel so much peppier. If one can be peppy at 5 a.m. The colours tho’ when I drive along to the conservation area are magnificent. Every day there is a new discovery. Truly … you can drive by in one direction and be totally taken in by the scene before you… then coming back with the sun higher and coming from behind you, it is another vista altogether. Nothing can compare to the showcase Nature provides us with when we take the time to look and enjoy,

I have missed my horse buddies, they are always out in the pasture when I drive by, but have been missing over the summer. I have not seen the owner or I would enquire. They were always so friendly. I recall one year they left over summer and were back in the fall, I’ll be watching for them. Strange how even tho’ I’ve never met them up close and personal, I miss them.. They have been part of my journey now for almost 4 years plus. Every morning I would greet them from my car as I passed to and from my destination.
Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

Interesting, I hadn’t read the calendar before I started my piece.. hmmm. Another week everyone! Start out with a smile… have a great productive day!
Time to harvest and gather in the supplies. The cooler weather is on its way, some mornings there is a nip in the air. The little ones are not wasting any time gathering when I put out the feed. The woodland floor becomes alive with little chipmunks and squirrels. The chipmunks are little darlings, they can stuff a peanut on either side of their mouth and still get a third one in before they scamper off to fill their larder.
Depending on where you are, there are areas where the colours are so vibrant they scream out , daring you not to notice, while other areas are still slow to change.
Today being the first of the month, in PL, we celebrate with a special ceremony. We pray for World Peace. Service will be at 10 a,m EST. If you are unable to make it to the church, please take a moment in quiet prayer/contemplation, to remember to practice being a peaceful human being in our/your own world which includes home, school, work and community,
Let’s pray for world peace. The path to world peace will open up with each person’s prayer for peace.

I have recently travelled many miles to find a good old fashioned steamed hot dog, the way I grew up loving them. I grew up in la Belle Province de Quebec. Please read all about the Quebec Hot dog in this piece I found on good old Google https://roadstories.ca/hotdog-steame-steamy/ There is nothing like the feel of the warm steamed bun, the hot dog covered in the toppings of your choice . I had to take the picture from the internet of the hot dog because when I finally found a steamed hotdog made the old fashioned way, I devoured it.. My sister said I didn’t breathe, I simply ate. She was being kind and didn’t mention the sounds I was making of “pure gastronomic pleasure”. (shown is an .. all dressed)
My Mother made them at home for us from time to time, but it is never like getting it at the roadside casse croute/diner or establishment that makes them … serving them with real French fries, cut on location, and made fresh… Not the ready made we get in a lot of places now. Sigh. I could go on, but I will spare you, suffice to say if you are in Quebec where they are still serving a real steamed hot dog. Indulge. The diner where I finally got one after searching for several weeks here in Ottawa and on the Quebec side of the river, is on 10th line in Orleans and is called La Belle Province,*
