Tuesday

Have a prayerful mind to love yourself and others.

Open up your heart fully when praying to God. It will help you sort out your feelings.

Living with cats has been a new adventure for me. Even tho’ I had cats for years in a bygone day… the most recent companions over the many years (more recently) were canine. Big difference. The cats and I have had to adjust … them to an eccentric eclectic human (they were rescues) and I… well… good thing they are patient..

Tomorrow we start another month. It is also the 1st, there will be a 10 a.m. service at church.. See you there if you can make it.

waiting

Every morning, these two sit at the “window” and wait to see what will flit or pop up … there are birds of all shape and sizes… squirrels that come running up to grab a peanut… there are a ton of specialty programs put together for cats/dogs …. and they like to review them all. Who knew, they actually watch the telly more than I do. I might average a couple of times a month… they expect access every day. When a mouse scampers past or comes out of a hole… it’s an event.

Now with the sun streaming in through the patio doors they have taken to maintaining a watch from that vantage point too, I realize that the whole apartment is actually bathed in sunshine for most of the day, In June I will have been here a year… Has it made a difference … yes… I’m still working out just how much, but for sure, it has changed a”lot”, some changes are more subtle than others.

It is like .. one shoe fell, now I’m waiting to see if the other one falls and if it will match the one that has already fallen.

This is a good one for me today!!!

Let’s have a humble mind

Once you think, “That’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.

Saturday

Did you see that snow out there! It was all clear now for days, and …. now there is a ton of snow out there…?? .The forecast for the start of the week is back up in the double digits temperature with lots of rain!

Back to chilling ….we’ll survey from the windows thank you! How about you? You going to have a whirlwind week-end?

Remember how you felt in the beginning

Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get s tuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh.

samedi

Hello? What have we here? Anyone home?

Do you ever get that feeling, that you are not alone…

Yet you see no one close by, but still, there is that feeling of being “seen”

Good Morning, it’s Saturday…. Hopefully you have had a quiet productive and happy week. This is the week-end where our time changes, Reminder to change your clocks tonight if the time change applies to you.

Think “now is the time” instead of “its no use now.”

Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

Active listening

Giving your whole attention to a conversation without anticipating your response. With practice you can learn to push distracting thoughts aside, and really, focus on what’s being said in the moment.

Today (actually yesterday now) I drove to Montreal’s West Island and back, did it all in half a day, I find that driving along a highway with nothing but a straight road ahead, and one disappearing in my rear view mirror, relaxing. It was a spur of the moment decision, I had been going to go, changed my mind, realizing I had a full afternoon and evening. But on waking I saw on my calendar that the city was working in the area, and I would have no water … it was being turned off .. 8 – 4 … ugh.

The day being bright, skies clear, I decided to hit the road, the gem/mineral show is on all week-end, but I knew the week-end would be a zoo. I went for many miles with no radio on… I wanted the quiet. The car is my personal space… a place where I can lock myself in and just BE. No distractions unless I want them.

There is something soothing about driving in silence. There were few cars /trucks on the road.. I didn’t question it, I enjoyed it. I took the 417 (super highway) going down, and on the way back, veered off and came by way of Hawksbury. A secondary road that goes through small communities.

My objective was to attend a warehouse sale of earth treasures, crystals, minerals, fossils and one of a kind treasures .. This vendor specializes in high quality specimens, he travels all over the world, his inventory is wonderful to experience.

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Specific mindfulness exercise can help you ease your mind and improve your every day.

Wandering down aisles of crystals, minerals from all over the world, unique fossils .. feeling the vibe from “mother earth” was “grounding”

The “Universe” will support you if you put your full makoto (sincerity) into what you do.

Have a good day everyone!

jeudi

With milder days, and the sun so much warmer on the skin… thoughts of sailing off into the sunset… start creeping in..

Soon there will be different birds in the sky, we’ll hear the honking sounds of the geese as they make their way back…

soft green shoots will start to emerge, and before we know it, the world around us will be awash in pastel colours of spring.

A bouquet for your my dears, let’s share a moment of quiet reflection, your visiting here today, made me smile.. Thank you for dropping in today, hope to see you again soon. Have a good day!

Be a messenger of Peace

Express yourself for the happiness of all people.

Today

Once upon a time…. and the princess married the prince and they lived happily ever after… Remember those stories where everything had a happy ending. What was your favourite storyline? Have you heard any of the fiction Ai is generating today…. Elder abuse, fraud, mistresses, dysfunctional families, bullying, Corporate culture that is built on artificial/aggressive competitive greed.

Pick a card, any card… what are your chances. Who do you believe, what is real, and who is really your friend?

On my outing yesterday, I smiled, greeted people in my close proximity, responded cheerfully if I was addressed, nodded if someone looked my way… said “excuse me,” and “”sorry “… if I needed to get by, or move past someone in an aisle.

It was a busy day, but… the brief, short interactions were interesting, and on the most part, people were surprised, but smiled back, Have you tried going out with the intention of connecting in a positive way, with people you meet along the way? Do you speak to strangers?

Everything that happens to you is material for growth.

Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best.” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

Mid week everyone… have a great day!

oops

Life has a way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect it. Suddenly we are in free fall when a moment before, we thought we had it all under control.

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive

Have you ever had that moment … when you realize…. something just happened, and you just know.. it is going to make a difference in your life…. you just have to figure out, how and why?

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

Stop.. close your eyes and just pause… take that moment just to reflect and treat yourself to a big sigh… You made it to this moment… it’s a new beginning.. (if you are old enough, you remember this saying)

“Smile you are on candid camera !!!! “

Sunday

Me, myself and I…. that is who I am responsible for and to. I am so tired of hearing from people that what has happened to them, is always someone else’s fault. if he, if she hadn’t done, this, that etc. what has happened to being responsible for one’s own actions. Alright, the world isn’t always fair, but it is how we react or respond to a situation that is important. If you feel someone has done you a disservice.. you can be thankful that you found out or recognized what is or was being done. You look at the perceived negativity towards you,, and move on, it has already been done,… you can’t go back and erase what happened but you can learn from it.. and move on. Your life is just so much more important …

I started this yesterday but I was sidetracked by a body that won’t let go of a virus.. I listened, and went back to bed and stayed there, Does anyone else out there use weighted blankets?

How has the week begun for you? I hope it has been a sterling start to a brand new week.
