Saturday 19

The turning point is now. Life is a sequence of moments called now. You have the key to turn yourself around.

Seasons come and go. We accept that, especially when you live in a country like Canada with four seasons, we get to see the end of winter, when the fields are dormant and still waiting for the sun to warm the earth so that new growth will begin … then spring when everything has changed into a world of greens and colour as the early bloomers peak out into the sunshine. Summer is again a different look, you wouldn’t even see the much of the ground because there is growth everywhere. Fall begins when the vibrant reds, orange, and yellows start to paint the landscape with the the cornucopia of autumn colours that blend in against the various greens that are sported by the evergreens.

There is also a different reality,…… the seasons that life takes us through….. from youth, to middle age to maturity…. the seasons vary from individuals, in my case, I seem to have gone from one to the other without much thought. Everyday is LIFE. That said, suddenly one day I realized that my head space was still in one season, but my physical abilities had undergone a serious “time change” What happened?

The wonders of LIFE.

Have a good day everyone,

Be mindful with prayer. If you work on things with a prayerful heart, there will be many things you can be taught.

door to remember

Good morning. Been awhile since I have been driving through an industrial park .. and been surprised by a doorway that shouted.. you have to stop and look at me! Tucked away on a back street of an area that is all large industrial buildings, tow trucks, repair shops.. and the like, there was this wonderful inviting doorway. Are these doors not beautiful, heavy carved wood. Simply a WOW factor.

Yes today is Thursday, and it is when I participate in Dan’s .. Thursday Doors.. here is the link to his site and more doors. enjoy! https://nofacilities.com/2023/08/17/wvu-doors/

The path to achievement is “to start” with what you can do.” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

Enjoy the moment while you wait. Things come about when they are meant to happen. think of what you can do for the time being and don’t rush the outcome..

Can you see the ducks? Perfect camouflage, Sometimes in life, just because we don’t see something, it does not mean it is not there. When we practice being in the NOW … living each moment, taking our time in dealing with whatever situation comes our way… it is amazing how much clearer our situation /experience can be to us.

Today’s calendar quote is

Make the best use of Materials and Money. You can do different thigs as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.

already 15th

Rugged rocky countryside. The terrain is so different when we drive along the highway on the Quebec side of the river. It is a short distance to travel to feel the call of the wild and the outcrop of rocks that once beckoned me to climb. For a time I wanted to climb a frozen waterfall. Did I ever get to do it, no, but I sure thought of it a lot,

Thinking about doing something and doing it, are not the same thing, With the interviews that keep appearing on my screen that Robbie gave (Robbie Robertson) over the last years of his life, there is always the mention of Levon (Levon Helm) I don’t remember Levon all that well, it was Robbie who spent time talking to me, and telling me stories and about his desire to bring his music and stories to places he had yet to see or experience. Good on him he did it, and he did it with determination and a desire to do what he needed to do to accomplish his dreams.

We lost touch, so I don’t know how hard or difficult his dream was to achieve, but he did what he wanted to do, loved doing, and from all the press, he was successful. He wore his scars and told his stories always with pride of his heritage…

Time has a way of blurring the lines.. softening the memories of the struggles and hard moments in our history. That is why I focus on living every day as best as I can. I want no regrets.. I still can’t climb that frozen waterfall, but I can enjoy the memory, when it pops up in my now very full “book of memories”

I know the internet wants to be our everything. It isn’t. When the power goes out, you have only your thoughts/memories … cherish them.

Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you when you are happy or when you are troubled. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others,

ps. I am asked where do the PL quotes come from that I use every day. They are published in Japan at the PL headquarters (Osaka), this year translations into English was done there also.

and then

Bom dia.. Good morning.. and then… another day began.. that means another night of sleep had come and gone.

Do you ever wonder where you go when you sleep? Has it ever occurred to you that your body when it’s tired simply wants to shut down… When it feels rested it will (on it’s own) wake up.. We take our bodies for granted, our heart pumping, our digestive system chugging away processing the “stuff” we ingest.. Our brains try to put order into all the information we take in during our waking hours. All this happens and we take it for granted (most of the time).

It is when something happens that we sit up and take notice. Should we be doing something different, should we me more attentive to the inner workings of our bodies? Not just deal with things when there is a hiccup in our system, or we have an accident.

I found myself trying to go to sleep. Earlier I had been yawning and very tired, but I had other things on my mind and I didn’t listen to the messages the body was sending me. Then of course, I had to wait for the body to want to sleep again. Sigh. I tried listening to music, that wasn’t working, my mind didn’t want to hear the same old, same old…. and when I looked for something different.. I heard a little voice say…. be quiet.. just let me be.’

I remembered yesterday’s prompt, and my response about Silence, I was guilty of having a noisy mind myself… keeping “busy”. I turned everything off,… wow.. silence… and then,….

Smiles.. sleep came.. and now its morning again! Good Morning!

Today’s calendar..

Respect the existence of each other. The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other,

Silence

Daily writing prompt
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

I would sell silence. I would have a boutique of Silence. Since when something is offered free, people seem to feel it has no value… that is the world today. But Silence is the key to discovery…. we need more silence in this world. Oyashikiri

I ask only to be accepted as I am

Others are others, I am I. If you force your values about anything on others it can be self righteous. Don’t be overeager and have and have a sense of “Others are others, “I am I’
