First picture is what the laneway looked like before the snow.. the last picture was taken about an hour AFTER the plow had come by to clear the lane so I could get out yesterday morning. I fortunately turned around about 20 minutes away from my home when I realized that even the main roads, although a plow had gone through, were dangerously rutted with snow caused by the cars that were trying to make their way through. Visibility was not good, blowing snow made it impossible for the wipers to really clear the windshield. I got home put the car in the garage, shoveled the snow away from the garage door piled it where the plow driver could pull it away.. did that all along the side of the house too.

You can see by the pictures of the back deck, it had been cleared of snow down to the wood in anticipation of the coming storm, I had prepared. Still, when I went out to clear a path.. so I can make my way out of the house by the back door should there be an emergency, you can clearly see the dump. It fell hard and fast for hours before slowing down,

Have a “let’s do it” attitude.

Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by the Universe/God, and accomplish it. (PL2021.14)

Yes, my legs and arms did some complaining, but life is what it is.. and I thanked God/Universe that I have the ability to do it.

on the positive .. the snow .. was feathery light, the air was intoxicatingly fresh… the breeze/wind was teasing…friends touched base to see I was alright… sure in a *perfect world ** I would have been able to just sit by the fireplace and chill with a warm ginger tea, and my love wrapped around me… substitute a heated blanket … and Quincy came to cuddle.. Hey.. life is good! Even Quinn came to purr she actually got on my lap of her own accord. Time and patience.…

Pine Grove Trail

I was so sad this morning when I visited P18 otherwise known as PIne Grove Trail. You can see the destruction of this beautiful location .. it is completely torn up. My husband and I walked the dogs there years ago.. it was such a beautiful serene area. The story I wrote about the woodland creatures was set in this location. Seeing the devastation was heart wrenching.

Times like this brings home.. nothing is forever. Forever is now.. in that moment. The trees were like cathedral walls, their canopy was magical. Now as you can see, what was, is no longer. When the crews finally do get in to start clearing away the fallen trees, the landscape will be forever changed.

Much like my world without someone I thought would be in my life “forever”.. was called away into his own “forever” – life IS. only we (me, myself and I) can make changes within our “selves”

Start today with a fresh outlook. Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

weather -whether

This is a picture of the Snow Castle built for the Harbin Snow Festival in China.

A not so much fun time for commuters in NY City after/during a winter storm

How about this, this is a sand storm, never experienced one, and hope not to, this is my first time to even see one

Weather happens, we have absolutely no control on what will appear over the horizon, we can guess, forecast, but the truth is, the world is so big and there are so many factors involved that we are never really sure .. the only certainty is when it happens. We all know the possibilities, we all have experienced the weather in one form or another. Sometimes it has been simply blissful, and other times, downright problematic, but we deal with it. What else can we do. Rain, or shine, the core of it all … is… we are alive… we are living it.

Each day is a new beginning, it really and truly is. Yes the weather can be fierce, but it can also be like this.

For this picture to have been taken, (Emerald Lake Lodge, Canadian Rocky Mountains) there had to have been a snow fall, lots of it. In life, it is our choice to see and dwell on the negatives, or whether we take action, deal with it, and move on. Whether we like or love the weather, it doesn’t matter, it is here, now and always …. our forever companion through this journey of ours here on earth.

The sun shines, even when it snows. So can you. Whether we are happy or not, that is our decision, and ours alone. Weather is not the indicator or reason for our “moods”…

This little critter is basking in the sunlight………. enjoy

When we live with love in our hearts

we are weather proof

story… a moment in time

The rain fell relentlessly, it poured so hard that the leaves and smaller branches outside the shelter were bowed in acceptance of the storm that raged. The winds had picked up, and taller trees were being buffeted by the fierce, determination of the gales that blew over and through them.

Thunder flashed across the sky, down below the water would be churning, the waves demonic, What was happening, she felt nothing. While all around her the world expressed her mood, her pain, the turmoil in her brain… she was a quiet witness, unfeeling to the searing pain within.

Some how, God was protecting her from the wrenching emptiness in her heart, from the cold reality of the moment.

To survive this moment, God had crystalized her heart. Under different skies they had promised never to part, to always, till forever be man, wife,mother,father. she gasped, clutched at her heart, the children, what would she tell the children.

At the thought of the children, there was a sudden change in the air, in the mood, the wind/rain seem to abate, she felt the tear slide gently down her cheek. In the distance she saw a golden glow.

The children would be on their way home now, the skies were clearing, she could make her way back to the house, and no he wouldn’t be there, but she would be…. and the joy of making a home filled with love and laughter, void of the frustrations and disappointments of a “dream” gone bad, would be the making of another chapter, in a world full of promise.

Storms happen…………but they don’t last…………….. Sometimes we have to leave the past behind…….. and move on into the sunshine of another………moment in time.

Amazing, its going to be a joy filled day

Goedendag, Buen dia, Bonjour everyone! Can you feel the energy and the positive feelings of this new day! So much to be thankful for. LOL I haven’t been up that long, so the happy thoughts and the positive energy is at its peak, raring to get going with the day. It is good to be able to express one’s thought with honesty, So what happens when we wake up with only part of the happy showing maybe the glow is somewhat dim. It does happen. Let us not delude ourselves that every day is a merry one.

This picture shows storms clouds passing over Cromwell, notice the different density and appearance of each one, some are rather menacing, daily challenges can (if seen) can appear to us this way. Clouds do come bringing whatever atmospheric debris they have collected, some will simply sail on by, other’s may linger, but the reality is once they’ve expressed what they needed to, they evaporate and go away.

We need only to batten down and weather the storm. During rain, thunder,lightening and the like, we calmly do just that, we adjust, change our plans, and reschedule events etc., So why is it that we don’t tackle the emotional side of life the same way. PL Precept #1 – Life is Art. When we live in the moment, accepting that it is now that counts, the time flows easily, for living our true feelings and expressing ourselves honestly brings a deep sense of self awareness. Because we focus on the moment and live it when it happens,

Meditation and prayer works for me, we all have a means or method that works for us. The trick is to practice our “personal philosophy” not just give it a place on a shelf, we have to put into practice what know works for us. Not just now and then, or when an emergency moment happens, we need to practice, and hone our spiritual connection daily till there is no doubt in our minds that it is there. Then we always know that we are never alone,the Universe is part of us, therefore a storm cloud is merely a moment in time, it will pass. Be Happy! Smile, feel the joy and double it. Pass it on!
