Saturday

.

Today is a brand new day. If you think, “it’s just another day” your life will simply be stagnant and unchanging. You are in fact given this unique day, unlike any other, so live it to the fullest.

I like to think of myself as always being creative and able to adapt. Surprise, I uses and avatar to navigate and get around in a virtual world. Over the years, she has changed as the technology has changed, so I was really surprised when I was not forced to, but it was time for an update and I made changes by updating to a more “today” head. The technology of the world around me in the virtual world has been changing in leaps and bounds, and I was still years behind in the technology I was using to get around.

It was a shock to see the transformation, and to realize that the face looking back at me, was me, but she wasn’t. Kind of like looking in a mirror and realizing the face and body you see is not what you remember it to be. In talking to others who have undergone the same “changes” it seems that it is not a quick fix, but one I’ll be adjusting to over the next while.

Like life really, I think and feel like me, but when I see myself in a mirror or pass a shop window, I’m always taken by surprise that there is someone else with me.

For you who follow my adventure in the “woods” I walked one of the trails yesterday, So I covered over a mile over snow packed down by snowshoes/X-country skiis, and hikers. The snow is a hard crust but beware in many places it was soft under the ice, and you could drop a good foot or more before hitting a hard surface. I was glad I had my poles with me. For sure it would have been disaster in places had I not also been wearing cleats. Also. note if you venture out and .. if you are not familiar with the trails, stay on the main one if you can determine which one it is.. landmarks are very different or non existent with all the snow and fallen trees.

On the plus side, the woods the last week or so have been filled with the singing of birds. Lots of birds. Days are getting longer, and we have had ”mostly” a mild winter, If you love the happy chirping of birds… take a walk in the woods.. Pure awesomeness.

Good morning, thought I’d share my “gym” with you today. I thought it could be a squirrel, but look at his little hands, I now believe him/her to be innocent of thieving. I arrived one morning to find that one of the cylinder feeders was missing from its placement, I was perplexed, I had (I thought) secured it rather well to the tree with rubber coated wire. (this protects the tree bark)… On inspection I saw the green feeder under the bramble in the bush .. see bottom right picture. I could see it but to get to it I had to maneuver the big trunks …The first time it happened, Tanya arrived for her daily hike, … and helped me retrieve it. For her, younger and more agile she went along the side of the big limbs squeezing along between (see picture to the left of the one you just looked at….. She took her time and the feeder was retrieved. 

The next day, the feeder was missing again. And again, I saw the animal had tried to drag it under the trunks into the bramble ,. likely to its place of residence. This time there was no one to help… after a bit of waiting, I tackled the situation myself.. YES I was successful, was most pleased with myself, I used one of my walking poles, climbed up and lay over the limbs extending myself forward till I was able to hook the feeder. Took some time and I did get a work out.. but it was a success.

This morning I will return to see if the (I think it could be a raccoon(s)) had another go at the feeder.

Your smile is what’s needed. A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

Remember .. where there is “will”, there is a way, Be safe on your adventures of today, enjoy and be happy.

Rust

Rust was the colour of the world yesterday, not monotone, just different shades of rust. If I could have put down an abandoned, rusted vintage chevy truck with pumpkins and wood for the fireplace in the back it would have been perfect. The new is creeping in on us… won’t be long!!!

Develop new ideas through your imagination – softly and flexibly. If you could find a way to add a twist, you will have more joy.

PL Precept # 15  All is a mirror

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

Take a moment today for “silence”…the “rush” of the season, the constant bombardment of “noise” from all directions, good/bad… constant energy whirling through your personal “sphere” … … … ahhhhh take that deep breath… smile as you close your eyes and drink in a moment of “pure YOU”.. just for a second, close your eyes.. take a deep breath.. hold it… then smiling… slowly let it out… ahhhhh…. all done… smiles at you.. didn’t hurt now did it. You just had mini break. Still smiling… pass it on.

How quickly things can change, with the rain and mild evening we had, I wonder what the scene will be when I arrive this morning. From -14 temperatures the other day, to in the 40’s today. The above pictures I took yesterday morning. The sugar coated trees and forest floor were magical.

Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

It was a sugar coated world yesterday . Mild, very pleasant. There is a simple joy in standing quietly while the fluffy snow flakes dance merrily through the air. Of course if I stood too long, there were complaints from the peanut gallery that the morning breakfast was being delayed. Interestingly when they see the chair and I sit.. they stop chastising me and go about cleaning up their “plates”… they seem to know, when the human sits and closes her eyes, I’m having a ” time out”.

Enjoy the day everyone, don’t know about where you are, but here, the airwaves are full of the holiday cheer “songs” and “stuff”

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.

When a trail is closed it is usually because the forestry personnel didn’t get to clear parts of the trail that were blocked by fallen trees, before the weather changed, there is always a reason. sometimes it isn’t obvious, there could be a tree that has been snapped and hasn’t fallen yet, and again, the crews were unable to remedy the problem before the change in weather. Unless you know the trail and the woodland area well, stay clear until it is opened again. Please be safe,

In life we hurry, from place to place, task to task, cross another item off the to do list. We are in constant, “moving” mode. Sometimes in life we NEED to slow down, we NEED that moment of QUIET. Have you had yours today.

At first glance the old buildings used disused, empty, but when I stopped to actually look, I saw that indeed there was life, the place was being enjoyed, Being in the NOW is what will keep you grounded.

Experience the joy of change. It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year or today compared to yesterday and realize how much you have improved and changed. PL 2016.30

See the 2nd from the left, last row. That is the Li Ho Restaurant, it was a rocking juke box dance hall at one time, I won my first jitterbug/jive contests there a “few” moons ago. Smiles.. time was.. memories are always interesting,…. Now driving into an empty parking lot ..not another car insight, just the birds watching from the trees and the squirrels scampering to be first to greet me .. that.. is powerful. When the Ravens call down, even more thrilling.
