time moves on

hogs back d

When I visited the rapids the other day, I was telling my friend how it was many years ago, people sitting on the rocks, enjoying picnics on the grounds. Now access to the water is blocked off for safety reasons. The water is constantly churning and thunders down the channels between the rocks with a deafening roar.

It was gray and overcast on the day the pictures were taken, and I hadn’t expected the pictures to be almost monotone, shades of black and white. They just turned out that way. I find the pictures have a timeless quality to them, I am enjoying them, and allowing the memories to slowly filter into the present.

Today April 14th. the calendar reads..

Be a person who invites happiness

Live your life with good timing and respond quickly to whatever appears in front of you. By doing so, things will keep getting better and better.

I believe that. I drive by on the bridge you see there, often, sometimes, once or twice a week. I travel that way to get to a part of the west end … I don’t even look at the rapids. With the truck windows up… one doesn’t hear the water. Making time to actually stop and visit the park, was unplanned. But in doing so, I have created another great memory. a “happy”

“Happy” makes me smile, “Happy” is a feel good. May your day be filled with lots of “HAPPY”

positive attitude

Quebec spring 2017

Day 26 PL Calendar

Maintain a Positive attitude and wisdom will come to you

Worrying will prevent you from having good ideas. Stay positive and you will find a solution.

Good morning everyone. I was working on a canvas last night, when I found myself writing, LOVE IS AN ART……… ETCHED FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

I started to correct it.. I read it and thought, oh it should be said this way, or what does it mean this way … of if I change this it will read better. All of us who write, know this little editor in our heads. Then I had a little flutter whisper… leave it.. look at it tomorrow.

So I did. I have decided to leave it. Love is an Art, and for me, it is etched forever in my heart, so… see waiting sometimes, is “good”

shades of gray

stark, cloudy, bleak, no, not bleak, just gray

what is there to say

the water looks dark, cold and uninviting

no need to test it with my toe

by the time I walk across the snow-covered grounds

my feet and toes will no longer be cozy warm

I think I will pass, and not go near the water’s edge

that is something I can do on another day

meanwhile I will view from afar

the far away shoreline, before

I head back, following the path that I’ve taken

back to the truck.

Not really exciting, but refreshing, yes.

A winter’s day, shown in shades of gray

I found some colour to brighten the gray

I will come back another day

We are heading into a storm

for winter, this is the norm

after all this is Canada eh!

Thursday -mystery

mystery photo 1

Happy Thursday morning all.

I went to take a picture yesterday of a door. That was my intention, unfortunately, I drove by, missed the laneway, and could not get back. It was rush hour in Ottawa, and for some reason, where usually traffic flowing west on this road, is usually pretty good at this time of day, yesterday it wasn’t. Missed opportunity. I will go back another time.

Last night, looking for something else, look what I found. No, no way it is a door, but gall darn, could I figure out what it was. I know it is familiar. but it just wouldn’t come to me. Certainly I was intrigued.

This morning with a new day on the horizon, I had a “bingo” moment.

Here is a second picture the elf in my camera took.

How I managed this, I’ll have to ponder on a bit longer. Does anyone out there, recognized what this is?

Life is full of surprises. We need only take out our phones sometimes, to discover a whole new world. For sure we meet new friends =^_^= My Chinese name, associates me with the moon, I believe that a “moon spirit” has drifted into my virtual world……

=^_^= sunshine smiles to everyone today. May your day be blessed with the happiness and joyful memories that last today, tomorrow and always.

Appreciation -Gratitude

Luna -Porti 9.5.17

Meet Luna, my feel good therapist from the USA. She is a Portuguese Water Dog with an extraordinary ability to make people smile. She has an amazing number of followers who enjoy her daily antics, and her vibrant personality. Of course her human “Mom” does the talking for her, but her eyes and body language I can assure you let us know who the “real” boss is. She is so “darling” that she has an almost full time job modeling canine attire for different companies.

Her full-time job of course is her daily attitude of “Life is good! Let me show you just how good it is” She will patiently sit, and looking directly at the camera will dare you to not smile for her. I would show you her full face, but don’t know if you can stand her cuteness. She is a personality on Instagram tho’…. if you are on Instagram, check her out. lunatheportie 🐱

I appreciate her nature, her being there in living colour, because she always makes me smile. Thank you to “human” mom too….

The other day while driving home, I noticed that a postal van had slowed down going in the opposite direction. I looked over since I was stopped for a red light, and found a face looking back at me.. when our eyes connected, he smiled, no more, no less… I smiled back, and just like that.. it was a brighter day.

Everyday, I look for happiness, I like to share happy moments with friends, and people I meet, or come across in my daily travels. In PL we have 21 Principles we use as guidelines to help us live a better and happier life.

PL Principle #3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things, is a favourite of mine.

PL Principle #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning This one I find very important, if I start my day with a happy heart, I am more likely to have a much more effective and productive day. Why… because I choose to be happy and enjoy whatever the day brings my way.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art – you hear me say this over and over… every day is a brand new canvas.. own it…

Travel Quebec

Enjoy your day everyone..

Share a smile!

Thursday Doors and more

doors south mountain 8.23.17 Some doors, are simply necessary. required to gain access to a building for service or product. Other doors, also serve a similar need, but look very different, and what they deliver is often more philosophical, and/or spiritual.

doors,church south mountain 8.23.17

Going through a small town, I saw lots of doors, and opportunities, but travelling on my own with a dog in the car, I felt that I shouldn’t make so many stops, although the weather was nice and breezy.

At the bank, they told me that dogs were welcome, (obviously I was not in the city, but a small town)… so… next time… I now I can bring Velcro in with me. He did very well today, it was our first time, touring the country side on our own.

We stopped at the breeders, so he could visit with his “distant relatives” and former pack mates. That was such a nice experience for us, his tail wagged, and his mates were happy to run in the enclosure and frolic in the fresh air. Since Canaille’s passing, he has been on his own, and at times.. feeling the “loss” of his friend and companion of many years.

We forget that it is not only the humans that grieve, but a pack member will also feel the loss, Keeper, a female whippet who is expecting in the next week or so, was very nurturing with him. It was a tender moment, they shared, and it lifted some of the weight of our loss from our shoulders.

On the way home we stopped at a couple of farms for fresh corn on the cob, cauliflower and broccoli. This is the time of year to really indulge. =^_^=

Guess who will have steamed cob on the corn for supper…..

Till next time, thanks for the visit.
