The key to solving problems is within you.
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.
Rust was the colour of the world yesterday, not monotone, just different shades of rust. If I could have put down an abandoned, rusted vintage chevy truck with pumpkins and wood for the fireplace in the back it would have been perfect. The new is creeping in on us… won’t be long!!!
Develop new ideas through your imagination – softly and flexibly. If you could find a way to add a twist, you will have more joy.
For you are regulars, you know this past few weeks have been filled with a very deep sadness, and it was a cardinal who took flight when Velcro passed. (previous post). Michel has recently posted some beautiful pictures of cardinals, but when I saw this one he took of a bird in flight, I knew I wanted to share it. I find it so spiritual, beautiful and healing, I spend a lot of time with birds as you all know… I have them flying past me, landing on me and sharing hours with me… but this picture Michel got of the bird in flight, his ability to capture the detail of the graceful beauty as its wings open and it takes to the air … is breathtaking.
If I’ve learned anything over the past many years in the “bush” meeting up with the wildlife photographers, they are artists dedicated to their “art”… they spend hours in whatever weather we are having, waiting for that “one” moment in time…. thanks to their patience and dedication to their craft, we get to see and enjoy nature in a totally different way,
Put Makoto even into small things.(sincerity) Don’t let things go with “oh well”. You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto in all you do.

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.

Be attentive and put your whole heart into what you do.
It was COLD yesterday morning, the blue jays were puffed up as they patiently waited for me to throw down their morning treat of peanuts in a shell. They do tackle the whole corn kernels and kibbe/sunflower seeds, but its the peanuts that they favour, Enthusiastic diners! With a prowling “eat you up” bird in the neighbourhood, I stayed with them ,.. going back and forth to my car to the various feeders which gave them the time to have breakfast … The “merlin” (Falco columbarius) is a small species of falcon that preys on the smaller birds. Another reason that I sometimes sit with them while they dine.. (mornings when it is as cold as it was yesterday, there are/were no other “human” visitors to be seen or heard from. it was Blissful!
Express yourself with a kind and thoughtful heart. Be attentive and put your whole heart into your expressions, as if you are aways trying to create a ” beautiful work of art,”
