Silence/ Strength ” May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May the hope forever wipe away your tears, and, above all, may silence make you strong.
I have been reminded lately of how with the passing of the seasons, there is also a change in our daily lives. Some are slow and gradual, while others come up suddenly and take us by surprise. Either way, they are happenings that we cannot divert from our lives. Challenges, opportunities, they come in all shapes and sizes.
This month there have been many beautiful, loved souls who have passed on from this world we live in to an eternal existence that leaves us with cherished memories of what was. I would ask today that we take a moment in quiet prayer. Let’s give thanks that we were so blessed in having been able to know/learn/grow from our connection to these beautiful souls.
In your prayer please include all the members in our community (near and far) and around us who are dealing with issues beyond their control, help ease someone’s pain. take time today to listen with an open heart, make time to reach out and call someone who lives alone or could be in “need” of a “friend”,
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.
Handle things that come your way one by one, Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently that way,

Saying thank you.. obrigado/a… for everything… is a “feel good” moment.
From my sister’s garden yesterday, Nice to see at this time of year, weather must be good where she is. I could send her a few pictures of the cold wet tree limbs and snow covered paths, hmm maybe I’ll wait for a sunny day. or a picture of the little scarf and hoodie I’m knitting for the black squirrel… nah will save that for when she sends me the beautiful photos of the hand stitched quilt she is putting together. =^_^=
Applaud the Makoto of others, When you encounter good faith or kindness in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully. This will make both you and them happy. (Makoto: One’s utmost sincerity)
Make today a “give back day”. We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders and the work of our predecessors. Above all, kindness for others is the best way to give back.

Nope, didn’t work, saying good morning in Brazilian Portuguese didn’t work, the snow is still happening outside my window,, NOTE. if you are out today the ice storm yesterday took down some of the weaker trees. P22 Mer Bleu has a tree preventing your exit from the parking area. I did report it yesterday morning, but the maintenance crew might not have gotten to it yet. BE CAREFUL unless you know that area of road if you back up to turn around, there is a steep incline on the right (Passenger’s side). You need to avoid the area and go back via the one way around the circle,. AND that is tricky if another car is coming in. Please take care.
Trees snap and break when we have heavy wet snow and ice pellets followed by more freezing rain, that is just what a Canadian winter can be like. We were lucky, power lines were not affected.
How are you doing Sunshine and balmy winds where you are? Life is good. Mother Nature has many forms of expression. Today is another day. Let go of yesterday and start fresh
It is interesting because it is difficult. In order to overcome difficulties in your life, you need to think hard and be creative. That is why life is always interesting.
Is there anything I can help you with? Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence tht you have something you can do for others.

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”
For the sake of others, society, and world peace. Always live keeping in mind everything you do is for the sake of others, society and world peace. PL 2021.10
Look at this bird, can you dig his/her haircut.. I was gob smacked when Michel posted this first picture, then I saw his two follow up pictures and knew I wanted to share this bird with you. Doesn’t she look like a Gertrude or maybe Harvey! Absolutely darling. You can find more of Michel Lanthier’s photos on FB https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79. He’d friended a fox, there are some great pictures of this little sweetheart on his photo pages.
I get asked why I go out everyday.. the answer is simple, I find much joy in sharing time with the wildlife, and in the nature they live in, It is in being out in the “world” that I get to experience and meet like minded “souls”… Thanksgiving is always a reminder that we have so much to be grateful, to the photographers who stand/wander in all kinds of weather, to share with us their “bounty” I send heartfelt gratitude…
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.
