church and manse

I was waiting for a friend to call … flicking through recorded programs on the telly I saw a program that I had saved, but had not an inkling why. It was a period piece, along the lines of Jane Austin… (if that means anything to you..) Not usually my cup of tea, but since I only had so much time, I switched it on. What different times. It called to mind the church that I would drive past on my way to Cornwall, it also has its own small cemetery (full of history.)

My husband and I would always remark on the ambiance and grandeur of this church. In its time it would have serviced all the farms and communities for miles around.(It was one of his favourite churches, we often stopped in their parking lot, next to a recreation yard they had, to let the dogs stretch their legs) During covid, I stopped at the church and spoke the minister that is there now.. Times have changed… ,,,drastically. I wrote about it at the time, he was putting up a big screen, parishioners would come on Sundays during covid to watch and partake of the service in their cars. He had erected and was putting final touches to a huge screen… beside and off a little was a recording booth. When there is a will there is a way.

Express straight away once you’ve found it “great” Proactively express about others’ goodness. It feels great to be told so, even about things you already know.

Choo choo train

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.

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?

The wonders of LIFE.

Have a good day everyone,

Be mindful with prayer. If you work on things with a prayerful heart, there will be many things you can be taught.

Prayer/meditation/mindfulness/silence – Be One with Nature

door to remember

Good morning. Been awhile since I have been driving through an industrial park .. and been surprised by a doorway that shouted.. you have to stop and look at me! Tucked away on a back street of an area that is all large industrial buildings, tow trucks, repair shops.. and the like, there was this wonderful inviting doorway. Are these doors not beautiful, heavy carved wood. Simply a WOW factor.

Yes today is Thursday, and it is when I participate in Dan’s .. Thursday Doors.. here is the link to his site and more doors. enjoy! https://nofacilities.com/2023/08/17/wvu-doors/

The path to achievement is “to start” with what you can do.” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.

and then

Bom dia.. Good morning.. and then… another day began.. that means another night of sleep had come and gone.

Do you ever wonder where you go when you sleep? Has it ever occurred to you that your body when it’s tired simply wants to shut down… When it feels rested it will (on it’s own) wake up.. We take our bodies for granted, our heart pumping, our digestive system chugging away processing the “stuff” we ingest.. Our brains try to put order into all the information we take in during our waking hours. All this happens and we take it for granted (most of the time).

It is when something happens that we sit up and take notice. Should we be doing something different, should we me more attentive to the inner workings of our bodies? Not just deal with things when there is a hiccup in our system, or we have an accident.

I found myself trying to go to sleep. Earlier I had been yawning and very tired, but I had other things on my mind and I didn’t listen to the messages the body was sending me. Then of course, I had to wait for the body to want to sleep again. Sigh. I tried listening to music, that wasn’t working, my mind didn’t want to hear the same old, same old…. and when I looked for something different.. I heard a little voice say…. be quiet.. just let me be.’

I remembered yesterday’s prompt, and my response about Silence, I was guilty of having a noisy mind myself… keeping “busy”. I turned everything off,… wow.. silence… and then,….

Smiles.. sleep came.. and now its morning again! Good Morning!

Today’s calendar..

Respect the existence of each other. The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles. Respect and understand each other,

Appreciation

I ask only to be accepted as I am

Others are others, I am I. If you force your values about anything on others it can be self righteous. Don’t be overeager and have and have a sense of “Others are others, “I am I’
