Pumpkins

Good Morning Everyone, yesterday had me visiting a pumpkin display at a farm stall in the east end of the city. Festive colour even though there was a strong suggestion of a rainy day ahead.

Life takes us on many journeys. Some are more pleasant than others. You have all gathered by now that I am a bit of an October junkie. What with the changing colours that surround us as all the hardwood trees start showcasing their fall wardrobes and the stores awash with Halloween decor … its a fun festive time and it will only get better as the Holiday season begins… starting usually in early November.

You ready!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Thriller in the last few days…I actually spent time dancing to it last night… Not kidding.. between that and Monster mash… I’m sure my body thought it was having some kind of “nightmare”..

Tuesday

Some days…. you wonder if it is all happening… or if you have been transported to another place in time. Nothing seems familiar… nothing is the same… yet… you are pretty sure, you haven’t gone anywhere.

The heat and humidity has been fierce. Don’t dare look in a mirror. Find a shady place to hide away till night comes and it will be time soon enough for another day.

Good or bad, it is your mirror

Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

When all else fails… join the chorus line and dance

Dancing the night away, is a nice way to stay out of the cold, we are being told to expect an “artic” freeze in the next couple of days, it is said that it is going to spread itself across the country stretching almost to the Atlantic. Brrr. glad I got my down coat last fall, it has been serving me well these past weeks. Altho’ the weather has been very cold at times, we have had a couple of days in between where it has been very comfortable.

That’s it isn’t it. If we know there is a possibility of cold weather, we plan for it.. when it does arrive/happen, we are prepared and we can go about our day/night in comfort. I can remember when it didn’t matter what it was doing outside, we went out*, we wanted to be with our friends.. We would leave the house and WALK for blocks in the cold, harsh winter winds whipping around us, it didn’t matter, we were going to meet up with friends at a soda bar. We’d hang out in a restaurant, put coins in the juke box and dance.

Some restaurants were big enough that a small area was allotted for the guys to set up drums and play their guitars. (Usually week-ends) Am I dating myself. I’m sure I’m not alone in “memories” of another time/era… We (kids from different schools and communities) we shared the dance floor, we exchanged banter and basically had a great time getting to know each other. Especially if there was a sporting event about to take place where the school basketball, baseball, football or hockey teams were competing.

Do everything willingly and joyfully

Your upbeat attitude will make things more cheerful and enjoyable

Stay warm. bundle up!

embrace “NOW”

Good morning, did you actually watch the video. My Mother was hooked on old movies, especially the ones with song and dance numbers.

My friends I love them all. Each one of t hem has a different “musical” bent, and personally I love them all. (not at the same time =^_^= .. But I do enjoy the many different “vibes”.

I never did get to line dance, but I have friends that are crazy crazy for the activity. I’ve been going back over some of my favourite tunes, and realize that i do enjoy the foot tapping songs. They are happy and put me in a good mood. Can’t help but get up and boogie or sit in my chair and do some “chair stomping”

Hopefully one of the above clips will have you wanting to get up and move. These past months, weeks and days, so many of us are not get getting out and moving around like we used to. We do need to move, and we need to drink a lot of water. Two things so easy to do, but.. for some reason, we don’t get to follow through on our good intentions.

Embracing the moment, is important now more than ever. We are all in this together. These times of “unknowns”… we need to be supportive of each other. Listen carefully to our friends, and do our best to understand, what their “moments” are really like.

This next song is just because, I really love listening to it.. =^_^=

Thank you all for spending this time with me… I hope one of the tunes, gave you a moment of pleasure. Music is a form a “therapy”.. dancing is “therapy”…. give yourself some pleasure today, you deserve it. Make your own”music”. move in a way that embraces all the love and joys you could ever want. Create your own “NOW”

Don’t allow anyone or anything put you in a box or on a shelf. Life is for living.

Together we will light up the world!!!

Believe in LOVE… if you skip all the others, listen to this last one…

A happy moment.  a memory of my Mother who loved watching old movies.. AND just to start the day off with a smile.. with YOU.  (click on link below)

Lucky is a happy clip, I grew up being entertained, we appreciated talent, we laughed shows were designed to delight and musicals were her favourites.  She loved music that told stories of life, love, heartbreak, hope and more love.

Believe.. life is good.  and it will be.

Disco Monday aka Wednesday

arriving for some disco

the clan start to gather

the fun began

at Pacifique (SL) the music, the atmosphere, the friends,

a musical interlude, a nice way to end the day.

Ok that was how I ended my day, but the start was just as great.  We drove out to visit with our new whippet, here she is spending some time with her soon to be brother.  Who is being as aloof and distant as he can be.  Real party poop.

Keeper 10.18.17b

Meet Keeper, she is 5 years old.

Keeper 10.18.17cOK she saying, I’ve done my few minutes with big brother, now let’s do something else. She is a sweetheart, can’t wait for her to be home with us full-time.

There is room in a day to do a lot of things, attend to what needs doing, resting, and having some “chill” time.

another look at the side of the building I posted yesterday…

there was a house behind it, picture will be next

P1000248

as a writer I would love to interview the house

have it tell me of its previous lives

of course it can’t be done, but the writer’s imagination

hankers for a story, a peak into the past

today, I’m resting my eye,

one cataract gone, the other one in October

I slept off and on all day yesterday

up to eat and have my drops

otherwise, my mind was drifting

lazily through the fertile fields

of my endless dream states

Happy Thursday everyone!

chasing a dream

ab927a75a913dc1f34aeb4d9747e16bf

There was a time

when life was simple,

we met someone special

we had our first kiss

and we thrilled at the possibilities

of a fairy tale life, sure that

our prince/princess would be the

catalyst, to the story book

ending of …and they lived

happily ever after.

CHINA-T-EROTICA -3

I thought of this  quote before I decided to share’ –  I had to ponder if it was true, in my mind, did I think it relevent to what I wanted to say.  I know not everyone likes to dance. But to those of us who do..  who enjoy the passion and exhilaration of being  held and masterfully led through an active art form, or  to simply workout  and exercise  the body.with a partner. It matters if your partner is in harmony with your unspoken rhythm. I liken it to being a passenger on a road bike (motorcycle) how the two bodies have to be in sync for the ride to be smooth and effortless.

See this landscape, the person there, might have thought they were alone, but they weren’t were they, someone took the picture.  Even if they were unaware of the photographer, he/she was there.  We are never really alone, we sometimes feel alone, but the reality there are people all around.  Often like us, just waiting to connect with another human being.

Today I got this picture of the cookie monster.. in yesterday’s blog I used Oscar the grouch for the cookie monster, in sharing his observation, this person connected with me personally, it told me I don’t sit and write here alone in my office, friends read and even if they don’t always write, like or say something… they are there.  We need not chase a dream, the connection between us is in our hearts.  PL Precept #7  Everything exists in Relativity.
