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.

Pileated Woodpecker .. got to spend a quick moment with one yesterday morning. We startled each other, altho’ he/she was greeting me with a knock, knock, knock inches away from me. We came face to face (he/she was at my face level)
Male on the left – female on the right. I will post a link at the end of this post if you want to know more about this beautiful bird. It is about the size of a crow. (they mate for life)
A single moment is a life time
Be grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities to be grateful for.

I lived a lifetime
Pictures tell stories, yesterday, I took pictures.. the captions told of the energy around me. I named the file,
One with Nature..
The energy of the water cascading down over the rocks and cliffs
The quiet joy of being part of the world around me
No matter where I go, where I am, you are there with me.
Always you fill me with the balm of a love so pure and energizing, I know no other, but ONE.

Rejoicing in an early spring day. Soon, only a few months away! Trees will be sprouting their greenery again, and the cold and snow will be but a memory. Meanwhile, if you live here .. you can put on your skates and skate on the longest skating rink supposedly in the world. (The Rideau Canal)
There is always an adventure waiting, it is up to us to decide which “Path” we will take.
You are the result of your daily efforts
Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through.

Free yourself from being overly attached. Overthinking hinders ideas and actions. (PL2021.22)

Strive to live with a positive outlook everyday
Put your whole heart into what ever you do. With motivation, you will feel joy and excitement.

No matter where you go, how far you travel, how many state lines you cross/provinces you visit… you will always be alone with your thoughts.
* a reminder for you – – Waist or Waste..
By misunderstanding the key to freedom, it becomes an anchor.
Value your intuition. When you suddenly have an “A-Ha!” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind.. Act on it right away. (PL2014.19)
