Wednesday

There comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to decide to “come” or “go” .. I have decided that after years of being a home owner, I am going to sell and move to a more genteel style of living. I will leave the home owning, and all that goes with it to a younger generation.

Stop Hesitating

It is more natural for you to be direct and say what is on your mind. Holding back or hesitating is unnecessary.

Your continued efforts will bring happiness

Persevere without giving up. This will lead to great joy in life.

PL2017.27.28

I realized the other day that there is a small bunny living in my front yard. I left it (the front area) to grow however it would in nature, took out lawn and put in ground cover and let the wild flowers grow for the bees etc. I will miss the property, but it is time to leave what had once been a quiet community to the new concrete modern square office like homes that are taking over. Small living spaces, no outside gardens/lawns, just paved/concrete paths, and very very small patches of green.

The only constant in life is change.

There is a Saskatoon Berry tree and a cherry tree in front that offer up a bounty of fruit for the neighbours that used to do jams etc. I expect they will be bulldozed… a shame, but in today’s world it is called progress.

Cheers everyone, till soon.

shock

Smile, it helps!

The shock of this past week has just hit home. Woke up and thought !!! NO! and then the truth sunk in, yes... … yes… I bought a car. Was it only a couple of weeks ago, I had to deal with getting a new dryer. oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

repeat after me….

“Always think that “everything will work out”

When you allow yourself to be pessimistic, your thoughts and actions become sluggish. Approach everything optimistically without hesitating.

PL2020.2

all things progress as they should…. change is the only constant …. sometimes it is just a tad overwhelming… Life is… no more… no less… … … … u deal with it!

Monday

It is only “now” in this lifetime of mine that I have discovered the true meaning and happiness of contentment – I also now know that it would have been impossible to know this contentment* before, because I wasn’t ready. I would not have lived the life I have, or experienced all the adventures/challenges/opportunities that have made me the “person” I am today.

Be free of your attachments…

If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible. _(PL2017.11)

_{seasons are changing the only constant in life is change.}

*Contentment = surrender of ego = letting go = TAO

segunda-feira

When autumn leaves begin to fall there is a lot of raking up to do. It never ceases to amaze me that when they fall, they don’t get up… nor do they do blow away. They just wait to be picked up. One year I raked them towards the trees and thought to leave them to mulch.. good idea, but it doesn’t happen that way… in the spring, I was left with a real wet mess to clean up. I have been dutifully doing a bag here and a bag there.. but just as I think I have cleared a good portion…. another batch falls from above. The maple has pretty much done its shedding, but the magnolia is still waving its leaves taunting me… c’est la vie… it will happen when it happens. (.. the leaves are so dry they crinkle and crackle when picked up.. notice that crisp smell they can emit. !! . now that is a pleasant surprise when you get a whiff ! )

There will always be a way

If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before. ^(PL2020.28)

Have a great start to the week everyone.

btw. pumpkin is a great veggie and so abundant at this time of year.

Because

Because

Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it

Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it

It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative

Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….

Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.

and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…

Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.

Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..

Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)

Because this is Thursday, you can visit, Dan’s No Facilities site for more doors.https://nofacilities.com/2024/09/05/welcome-to-pittsburgh/

Happy Thursday everyone!

lundi

Two of my special dolls… waiting around for me to decide what to do with them .. where to put them.

I no longer have all my “dolls” I’ve adopted them out over the last couple of years, … you have all heard me say, the only constant in life is change… this morning, Quincy was very patient, he didn’t start yowling at me till he heard me stirring, However, I am learning he is very insistent, I was late getting up… its only 57 degrees here this morning.. nice change… I was enjoying being lazy. He had other ideas.

He was looking for his breakfast. I had walked into the kitchen a few times, and he was right there at my heels… however, I realized I wanted my cell phone.. and turned to go back for it.. he grabbed my leg and held on????? What is this behavior. I know its been awhile since I’ve lived with a cat.. but really!

Today is the start of a new week! A friend and photographer from the church will be travelling to France in a week or so. He’ll be gone for 5 weeks, and will be taking pictures of doors and windows.. two of my fav. subjects. I have lots of windows myself. do any of you know if there is a weekly feature of/on windows, like we have on doors??

Today is a brand new day. Let’s do our best to put our Makoto (sincerity) into all we do

Wednesday

As I lay in the silence … I heard the quiet meow of another soul adjusting to the new beginning. There is always a “voice” we need only be open to the world around us. There is only NOW.

Take action now rather than later. things you notice are hints from God/Universe. Be thankful and take action immediately. (PL2012.13)

Changes

Like the seasons, we (humans) seem to go through our own version of change. In a blog I just did for another of my “interests” https://wordpress.com/view/dymoonadventures.wordpress.com I talked about how changes to our outward appearance.. how we represent our”selves” in the worlds we live and play in.

Then in my morning mail, I got this little clip https://youtube.com/shorts/yrL46htpljc?si=fjqmm7q82htW9p3S Thanks Eartha…

And this picture from Debs of her and two fellow actors backstage during Murder on the Orient Express.. Lise Lesage Boily, Tim Gernstein and Deborah Lobban (right)

It is a brand new year, and there is a lot of changes in the wind. How often do you see/hear me say “the only constant in life is change”

We are all actors in the biggest play of all.. Life on Earth. I feel that this will be a year of significant changes for almost all of us. The weather has been showing us that we cannot escape the reality of life in 2024 In my blog I posted earlier, link above.. I ask the question, (many actually) about how you cope or deal with change. If any one feels like commenting I would enjoy reading what you think about where we are headed, and how personally you are making or going to make changes in the coming days/weeks/months.

No effort is ever wasted. Even if no one witnesses your actions (to your knowledge) The Universe is aware. No matter how small your efforts, your Makoto (sincerity) will be rewarded.
PL 2011.22

Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered. When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.
PL.2016.22

Lots to reflect on.. have a great day everyone!

I think there is a song out there, about “a change is going to come” ??

snow anyone?

Please note .. this is NEW snow, that snow from the other day, was all gone .. yesterday my driveway was clean of snow. What you see here is new from last night and ongoing at the moment. I did try to shovel a path to the street so I could see if the street itself was plowed. It isn’t. In shoveling my way to the street, just a path to walk .. I created a mound in the middle of the lane, that was waist high. Needless to say, even if I wanted to.. I can’t get out of the garage, when I cleared in front of the garage door, I was left with a pile of snow to back out over that was higher than my waist, I stand 5’3″…..

Keeper when I opened the back door for her, just turned her head and looked back at me, the expression so clearly said… “you are kidding me right?” Sadly I had not cleared a foot path for her, and she needed to go, so she had to solider on. (I’ve seen taken the shovel and made a small path for her to at least get off the deck … We’ve had over a foot of snow and it is still falling. Temperatures are going to get milder, with the snow changing to rain…

Guess who is staying home. Will have to call and cancel my 9 a.m.

Face challenging situations with positive determination. When you encounter difficulties, Boldy take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.
Perfect Liberty 2019.13

On the positive, it was only snow, no freezing rain to coat the trees and hydro wires.. causing potential black outs. etc. I did not hear of power outages in the area.. but I haven’t listened to the news either .. I was focused on seeing if I could get out..

Where-ever you are, be safe, and enjoy the day. Smile, it is contagious.

My friends have gone, moved away, they were there to greet me everyday for years. I actually still look hoping that I’ll see them. Change. It is the only constant in life.
