Smiles

There are days when the world seems to be a rather bleak and uninspiring place to be, we wander and tho’ we go about our daily activities.. somehow …. we simply don’t feel connected.

That is when we turn a page, and find a place that speaks to the “want” in you. Whether that be fantasy, a good book, a visit to room with a different view…. we have a lot of choices these days. It is up to you.

Smiles are the world’s treasure. If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the World. Be one of those who makes more smiles..

Smile… share your beauty/sunshine… with the world. Be Happy!

sharing

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.

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.

Welcome to new visitors to this page. I am delighted/ pleased … I appreciate your interest, I am still learning to be friends with my new laptop, and accidently hit a few buttons the other day and deleted pages of incoming messages…Dan if you lived closer, I would have been trying to find the pub you frequent Fridays!…

Take care everyone, have a good day…

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.

Appreciation

Do you believe you are never alone? I do.

Be grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude,. you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.

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?

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.

Enjoy the moment while you wait. Things come about when they are meant to happen. think of what you can do for the time being and don’t rush the outcome..

Can you see the ducks? Perfect camouflage, Sometimes in life, just because we don’t see something, it does not mean it is not there. When we practice being in the NOW … living each moment, taking our time in dealing with whatever situation comes our way… it is amazing how much clearer our situation /experience can be to us.

Today’s calendar quote is

Make the best use of Materials and Money. You can do different thigs as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.

Enjoy your day everyone!
