Friday

Yesterday you saw some of the buildings that caught my eye on the way to Ompah. Here you are seeing some of land I hiked along. To get to the water, I had to go down a steep ravine to a level area .. where I was looking down at the water… it was so inviting that when I came to a wooden set of steps, I ventured down to the water’s edge.

Lesson I learned… If you go down, you have to come back up! Focused on getting pictures, I had not taken into account to get to where I was I had walked down a steep incline, I found the steps while I was walking the grounds searching for another path leading back up to the area where my friend waited in the car. !!

Look at the rocks, the beautiful old fence, weathered and worn but still standing Yes I likely overdid, I didn’t have my walking sticks with me and because the area hosted art shows in the summer weather, the land was cleared of fallen branches and the like. BUT it was gorgeous .. life was good, life was vibrant, the air clear, getting colder yes (we were heading for an evening of snow and dropping temperatures) I WAS HAPPY, JOYFUL AND FULL OF LOVE… fresh air, the silence of open country (no city sounds) Yes, my body had a lot to say about the walking/hiking and the constant in and out of the car… BUT it was worth it. I think we have all had such experiences. If we are going to be here (on earth) we should appreciate and enjoy as much as we can. Peace on earth, begins at home and in our hearts.

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.

Ancestors’ Day Ceremony/service at 10:a.m. Nov 11. Saturday.

Thursday

I had good intentions. I wanted to visit Ompah, I visited Ompah.. the first picture you see upper left is the parking area, of the common community park setting in Ompah. The drive to Ompah is spectacular rugged and in places breathtaking with its outcrop of rocks and deciduous trees ..

My frustration this morning is that many of the pictures I took for some reason didn’t transfer to my PC, which means, for now. these are the captures you will see. The small towns all had such interesting old buildings/structures and of course churches. The day started out with clear blue skies, but as the day progressed the sky got cold, and you felt the chill creeping in to your bones. (we had snow overnight)

Just outside Sharbot Lake on the main hwy going through, is this food stand, we think it was called Frenchies. Dynamite fries, cut there .. red potatoes… it was worth the wait.. the hamburger was good too, fresh meat patty, on a decent bun. If you can say road stand food is delicious, this meal was super delicious. I ate all of mine to the last crumb. and the fries.. I didn’t need vinegar or salt, they were so good just the way they were served.

Today’s calendar..

Perception is important. Take immediate action once you suddenly perceive You might discover something important in what you perceive.

Have a great day everyone!

Saying thank you

Thank you… again and again… It feels great if someone tells you,, “thank you” even many times. By repeating this , become a person who comes up with the word “thank you” naturally.

Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.

Sax

Yesterday was National Sax Day in the USA, It was interesting to hear a song I knew always played by a tenor sax, being played with an alto.. same musician was delivering the song, different date. Each instrument lent a different “story” to the music. I found myself hearing and feeling totally different reactions to the piece. I contemplated on this later… how one person can interpret a song one way with one instrument and yet have it be almost a totally different experience when that same song is delivered with a different instrument .. and at a different time/place.

Like watching a fire burn … beautiful in all its stages, same fire, but always different. hmffpph .. LIFE IS.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings

memories

The mind gathers up and stores the many moments we live. Some are easily found .. and others elude us for years till something happens that recalls or brings back that moment in time .. Other moments are dropped into a memory pocket with others, and all we get later is a vague glimpse into… a moment lived/shared.

Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness.

I would if I could

I try, I really do

but, sometimes, the moment happens, and my intension gets blown away, to maybe, come back another day… all I can do… is do my best.

dreaming

High above the tree tops is where I want to be… woke up to snow.. on the ground and still falling,

Cheris this moment, this time this day. People keep growing as time goes on. Cherish your self-expressions.

life

.life is fleeting – it happens – like the moment that comes and goes – there is only now.

Get things started with Grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

BOO fun

Altho’ the actual date set aside for Halloween is the 31st. I hear on the radio that the parties and gatherings will happen this week-end, If they are not already started, they will be in full swing over the next couple of days. We’ve had rain of late, the beautiful colours that sprang out all around to greet us weeks ago, have faded and many have fallen to the ground from being pelted by the rain.

I spent many happy hours exploring all the creativity that is in SL (Second Life).. entering into the magical world of the many seasonal destinations that the fertile minds the artists in SL have created for the viewer’s enjoyment. The SL pictures above were taken at Pacifique ..http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacifique/50/173/3748 the owner and artistic director of these amazing builds is Eclair Martinek.. if you are a player/citizen of Second Life, this is the link that will take you to this delightful build.. If you are a photographer , she has given us many photo opportunities, If you just like to play and have fun, explore .. there are caves, tunnels, scuba diving, a mermaid ballroom, hot air balloons.. and the list goes on.

We are not all going to go out Trick or Treating, but we can treat ourselves to the many offerings that abound at this time of year, Life is to be enjoyed….

Develop new ideas through your imagination, Softly and Flexibly. If you could find a way to add a twist you will have more joy.”

doorways

Kingston Penitentiary, now closed and opened for tours (at certain times)..not very inviting is it. In our searching out of doors, we learn a lot about the past. Going through the doors of the Pen, would not have given anyone feelings of hope … Looking through the open doorways into what was.. certainly leaves you with a determination not to spend much time there.

Seeing the pictures, leaves me with an appreciation for the life I have had, and that i live and enjoy,

My huge thanks to photographer I, Mitchell for giving me permission to use his photos. It is because of the interest/ talent/creativity of others that we are able to enjoy such a vast array of the wonders that abound in the world around us, Today I will get to see architecture and doors from all over the world as I tour the posts of fellow “Thursday Door” bloggers. You can too by visiting, Dan’s No Facilities site… https://nofacilities.com/2023/10/26/barns-of-somers/ On Sundays he posts a summary of all the Thursday Door posts. Have a look.

Today’s calendar…

Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the world. Be one of those who makes more smiles.
