Holding unto anger is like holding on to a hot coal so you can pitch it at another…..

Unclutter your mind. If your life is a room, is it full of shadows and dust…?

Bom dia… Welcome another day.

Be creative in your efforts

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.

PL2014.16

The body may grow older, but … your time is finally your own…. the spirit grows younger !! Welcome another day !

My last visit here was in very early spring, no vegetation had begun yet.. This was not the case yesterday… it is such a pleasure to drive off the busy road, and turn into the parking lot for this hidden paradise. It was later in the morning, there were only two other cars in the parking lot. As I made my way down into the wonderful welcoming quiet of the forest…. I could feel my shoulders relaxing and my pace slowed down, I wasn’t in a rush… I just wanted to drink in the beauty around me. I took these pictures where a path I used to take to the water was completely filled in…NO, I didn’t wander down through it.. I was being careful .. there are a lot of tick sightings I didn’t want to invite unwanted trouble.

Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the people who came before you

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

PL2019.11

This trail goes a long way into the woods, past a long ago kiln works building that is basically now just a shell. a reminder that “nothing stays the same” I hope to go back later in the fall and do a longer walk,

Whatever ever you do today, make your smile shine….

landscapes

Time appears to stand still when you come across a peaceful scene along the river. The gentle curving of the walkway meant that you slow down your pace…. your eyes follow the shoreline, birds are singing happily from somewhere off in the distance. It feels good to have the moment to yourself, The sun is high in the sky, but the surrounding trees are providing dappled shade. This walkway follows the wanderings of the Rideau River…along Riverside Drive (Ottawa)… There has been a lot of construction this summer along Bank Street, (cross street) This could be the reason, but in my exploring the other day, there were very few people enjoying the “park” ..note… the colours are starting to appear. Mother Nature has begun to weave her magic.

When you are not having fun, could it be because you’re being lazy

Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

Ottawa is surrounded by beautiful really beautiful landscapes. An outdoor enthusiast paradise, a photographers dream

Thursday

From spring to summer, what a difference. Of course I would pick a day when it is pouring rain to make the trip, but “c’est la vie” rain or shine, being in nature is a joy.

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

I had no intentions of going back out to the nature trails that I went to every day for 7 years,… but … one should never say never, Sometimes we need to return to what was.. to see if WE are still “in tune” with where we were back when there was no other way to start a day, It was familiar, but I am not the same woman … I felt a tug of sadness … the birds that had greeted me each day, the furry critters who came at the sound of my voice, were not to be found.. of course the time of day was different, and it was pouring rain. Still…. a gentle reminder… N O T H I N G stays the same,.

Have a good day everyone, PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop.

Yesterday came and went, it can not be recalled or relived. What was, was. So often I find myself with an idea … and I don’t write it down. “I’ll remember” I tell myself.. but I don’t. Oh I recall I had this brilliant idea, but what the idea was…. ah… well… let’s just say, it may or may not surface again.

Discover the joy of transforming yourself

When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.

Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions.

PL 2012.7

Au revoir, a bientot….. till soon

Wednesday

Needed a break from the heat, humidity and at times rain.

Every day is a new beginning… I remember taking this picture, the day was cool, crisp and invigorating. Hard to find that these days, it has been scorching.. uncomfortable and heavy.

In the PL Prayer, there is a passage “ all humankind who are brought to birth in accord with your Creation are endowed with individuality and intelligence to live an artistic life, for the sake of the world and for the sake of humankind.”

Let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves.

Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto (sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do.

Chill everyone… till soon.

Monday

Good morning everyone,,

Heal from the past

Simply be here

There is only NOW

Cherish what can’t be measured

New Zealand is very beckoning. This picture my friend posted has an almost surrealism to it. Moving has had a dramatic effect on me.. I am still putting together the pieces that shattered around me during the start of the move.

The reality of my situation didn’t hit me till I was able to distance myself from what “was”. You all know the expression,. “one can’t see the forest for all the trees”

Small changes can bring about a fresh outlook.

Are you just living each day and getting into a rut? By making small changes in the things you do, your day to day life an become fresh and exciting.

PL2012.24

in my case it wasn’t a small change.. and… when the reality hit, it was a whopper.

Till soon..
