Monday

Hello world….

Do you ever get overwhelmed by the constant “noise” that seems to happen all around you… Doesn’t matter the time of day/night… we are bombarded by everyday activities that are not always “restful”. We can wake up planning for an uneventful day and suddenly find ourselves immersed in someone else’s drama.

“Now” is always the start of something new.

Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

PL2014.24

Can you believe, November is almost over… the other day I noticed that the Holiday movies are back… I thought they happened only in December after the American Thanksgiving.. but, I guess not. (no.. I didn’t sit down to watch) I now put on “cat” music.. yup. YouTube has videos with audio/visual for felines.. who knew. The cats actually come by to check out the activities on the screen.

I also visited a SPIN site, Standard Poodles in Need (rescue & rehome) sssshhhhh just having a look… picked it up at the “pet” show I went to a couple of weeks ago.

Have a great Monday and start to a new week!

Monday

My joy today was that when I drove to the trail, there was no sign of the turkeys, I called them, and three of them came at my call. I had not been there since the spring… I was most impressed. The picture here was not from today I haven’t transferred to my desk top the ones I took today.. however, I wanted to show you my “babies”… they do make me smile..

A little late today, but .. I woke with a desire to visit the woodlands… so I did.

Do things in moderation

Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.

Have a great start to the new week!

new deck

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.

PL2017.3

I had not been to this trail for awhile, maybe in early spring, the crews have been busy, the bench wasn’t recent, but they took away the old deck and have built a sturdy new one.. It was a beautiful day, didn’t take me long to realize that my cell phone was not going to have the distance draw I would need to capture some of the activities I saw down the shoreline. Guess I’ll be looking for my camera when I get back.

Have to vacate the underground garage, the building is doing clean up mtce to the floor in the area where i have my assigned parking. Have a grand day everyone.

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.

minha vida mudou

Minha vida mudou, my life has changed, a sua mudara… yours will too. It is LIFE When we spend time worrying about the future, we miss today.

When you think “I’ve got it” Think again. It is so easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure. (PL2020.13)

I am continually learning from the animals in the forest. You can think you are alone, and there is not another living soul for miles around… Not so. There could be many eyes on you. The animals/birds practice stillness. It can go from very active to total silence .. when a bird/animal of prey wanders into the area.

Is there anything I can help with? Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence that you have something you can do for others, (PL2023.3)

PL Precept # 17 Grasp what is most essential

vary your arrival time in the woodlands.. earlier is best if you want to hear the activity of the birds..
if you have allergies to insect bites, use a lotion/spray and long sleeves.. the mosquitos are active
there are hats with insect protection netting, this will keep the pests away from your eyes/face.

Fresh fallen snow, always gives a picture of “new beginnings” – maybe not the best weather to drive in, but so beautiful visually – I am so blessed to have this vista within a short drive from where I live. When I arrived this morning (when picture was taken) the birds were so happy to see I had not been deterred from visiting. No chipmunks turned up, but the little brown and red squirrels bounced through the wet snow to come greet me. What a sight when breakfast was served, the blue jays were first to arrive with their loud enthusiastic cheers they sent calls out to all their ‘buddies”

New beginnings. The Ottawa church of PL (Perfect Liberty) has begun a new chapter, Please join us this Sunday to meet the new minister Rev Hiroki Matuski and his lovely wife Yoshiko. Hirok Sensi and Yoshiko look forward to meeting you. There will be coffee/tea (light refreshment) after the Gathering Service.

When taking on a task, start fresh without being biased or jumping to conclusions. When your thinking is too rigid you will be unable to deal with ideas in a flexible and constructive way, Always strive to look at thing with a fresh mind.

Having a clear image is the first step towards accomplishing your goals. What do you want to accomplish, and by when? The more concrete your thoughts, the easier it is to make it a reality.

Perhaps it is time for some quiet reflection.

Take on any task with earnest enthusiasm and it will become interesting. No matter what it is, if you really get into it, you will be able to find joy in doing it. The important point is to put your whole heart into what you are doing.

Every morning I visit this tree.. and each morning I see signs it is enjoying the balmy weather and the brighter sunshine, The other morning it was full of chattering birds, The happy chatter filled the air with enthusiasm and brought smiles to everyone around.

Bom final de semana pra todo nos. Bom dia amiga qurida.

Hola, buenos dias – Have a great day.
