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

Finally an early morning with a bit of a chill in the air. Yay it is only 52 F with a high later of in the early to mid 70s what a nice relief from the extreme heat of the past week!
Make Happiness with willingness. People who life 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.
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.
Time. How one person’s cast away becomes a piece of art for someone else. I was taken with this bike, but at this time of my life, I am not collecting, I am decluttering .. If you use Facebook, you probably get their incoming mail .. wanting you to see or remember what you have posted in the past. I do use Facebook to connect with friends overseas .. but I am not a FB regular. That said, the other day, I got a message asking me if I wanted to see .. pictures I had taken over the past year(s).. they titled it Woods. Curious I clicked on it and was taken down memory lane, of places I had been and moments I had captured. I am going to try to share this with you. https://photos.app.goo.gl/yDJFpr4dsYn1aA6g8
Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

a quote from Mahatma Gandhi
“A ‘No” uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a “yes” merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble”
I wish you all a day of peace and tranquility, even this world where chaos abounds, you need only close your eyes and take a mini vacation.. if you were able to visit the Woods, (link from above) perhaps one of the pictures reminded you of a moment in time when you felt the JOY of NATURE.
The little train that could, would and will delight you if you are visiting Brockville. It was a beautiful day, there were people out enjoying the day.. all along the water’s edge.. families and tourists mingled in the sunshine. It was nice to see people out taking time to explore. Lots of dogs being walked, even a musician playing the sax outside the main attraction which was the old railway tunnel, now a tourist attraction.
There was a lot to do and see in Brockville whether it is an outdoor adventure .. scuba diving, kayaking, or a sight seeing tour of the 1000 Islands on the St. Lawrence in a traditional sightseeing cruise or a high speed soft adventure aboard a wildcat. There is something for everyone. We didn’t visit the Aquatarium, but I think Bonnie put it on her list of possible attractions for another visit.
One attraction that I would have loved to try was the Forest Adventure.. TreeTop Trekking -Thousand Islands-.. if you want to know more visit TREETOPTREKKING.COM. You all know I won’t be trying that soon, but a gal can dream =^_^=
If you are going to do it, do it joyfully. If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

Please enjoy whatever it is you have to do, sometimes it is a challenge, see it as an opportunity.. do your best, that is all that you can do … then move on.

Note to myself.. remember .. it feels good to snuggle into bed at the end of a busy day. Satisfied with the work I got done and the interactions I had with people I met and visited with during the day. Remember to smile. a stranger can become a friend … and I know from experience, the friends we meet along the way are a joy remembered.. always.
Good morning.. already the leaves are turning .. we saw them the other day driving from Merrickville to Brockville.. and there are signs of the changing season along other country roads … Change, the only constant in Life.
Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, start your day with excitement.
The turning point is now. Life is a sequence of moments called now. You have the key to turn yourself around.

Seasons come and go. We accept that, especially when you live in a country like Canada with four seasons, we get to see the end of winter, when the fields are dormant and still waiting for the sun to warm the earth so that new growth will begin … then spring when everything has changed into a world of greens and colour as the early bloomers peak out into the sunshine. Summer is again a different look, you wouldn’t even see the much of the ground because there is growth everywhere. Fall begins when the vibrant reds, orange, and yellows start to paint the landscape with the the cornucopia of autumn colours that blend in against the various greens that are sported by the evergreens.
There is also a different reality,…… the seasons that life takes us through….. from youth, to middle age to maturity…. the seasons vary from individuals, in my case, I seem to have gone from one to the other without much thought. Everyday is LIFE. That said, suddenly one day I realized that my head space was still in one season, but my physical abilities had undergone a serious “time change” What happened?
