Value your intuition
When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something you should act upon it right away. PL 2014.19

Spring
A walk of discovery in the rain the other day. I love the quiet at this time of year, the awakening of the forest floor… the miniature ponds where winter snows have not yet evaporated. The falling rain plops into the standing water, creating beautiful little waves that dance and make merry… New growth hungrily soaks it up. I walked the old road towards the research station…. saw the sign that intrigued me when I first started to explore the area…
It is hard to imagine that this was once a thriving country road, with a tree farms, and other country homes. A speed limit of 60 mph or was it after the metric system came to Canada. ? . Change, the only constant in life!
For those celebrating a holiday week-end… may Peace and Glad tidings warm your hearth this cool misty spring morning.
We are each and everyone of us, “different”… we have our way of thinking and our own lifestyles. That is what makes life interesting. (PL2020.20)

Walking in the rain is exhilarating
Thursday
The snow is melting, yesterday I took the shovel to the big dump of snow on my deck it had been almost shoulder high, … the milder temperatures had me facing a pile of snow only about knee deep. I did clear some, I was (smart) enough to stop when I got tired. If it is mild again today and there is a bit of rain, it should rid me of what is left on the deck. I can put out my lay back and sun chair. Early spring is the best… too cool for most to be out, but I love it, especially when the sun is out. Yesterday my companion was the male cardinal, he was singing away… he is a romantic, he courts his female.=^_^=
Live today filled with enthusiasm
Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Happy first day of Spring.

a meditation in green
I started out for one place, was in the wrong lane, ended up in a totally different direction, and smack dab to the entrance (parking lot) for the Larose Forest.
Was I dressed for a hike through the forest trails, no. Being the trouper I am, I decided to hike down one of the trails to get some pictures. Hot, was it hot… yes, but walking along under the canopy of the trees, there was a breeze.
My day was planned out for me by a higher being. I would not have started out to visit the Larose Forest on a day when temperatures were going to give us a scorching heat, with a high humidity factor thrown in. But I end the day with gratitude in my heart. I had a lovely day, it was a productive day, the myriads of greens, and earthy tones, was a palette that not only pleased the eye, but soothed a weary “soul”
Live in the moment. Whether you are walking, having a conversation, or having a good time, it is important to be fully engaged. Remember to live in the “now”

the wind blows
While the corn just sits, waiting for what comes next
When we flow with life around us, our flexibility is often helpful in the choices we make. Standing still and never looking around, means much of the world will pass you by
Then of course you can find yourself in this situation, where the rest of the world is simply crowding your space, and it has nothing to do with you at all. You are in the crowd, but you do stand out. =^_^+ challenges, choices and decisions. Here we are, starting another day!

Moments
good morning, bom dia, buen dia The moment you notice is the best timing
El momento en que perciba es la oportunidad
A chance esta no momento em que e percebe
I am the little yellow flower in the picture above. I was out being spoiled with another special outing. One of my dearest friends had arranged with me weeks ago, for us to celebrate yesterday. Celebrate we did. It was a full day of shopping and exploring, ending with a fabulous dinner at the Mandarin, (Asian buffet)
Yesterday, Eartha drove, she was my hostess with the mostess. Then last night as I lay basking in the events of the day, I imagined this picture, and my being the yellow flower, surrounded by people, events with the world going on all around me. I had a feeling that I had missed something, and it nagged me. So much so that this morning, I sat down to meditate on “it”
The rest of todays calendar message says… Procrastinating will only weigh you down. The best time to do something is when you notice it. You will feel lighter both physically and spiritually.
Whatever is niggling at me, took place yesterday, obviously I was too surrounded by outside energies and activities. It was a special day, and thanks to Eartha sneaking in a surprise on me, I have a memento of our time, that I am able to put on the fridge (a picture of us that the Mandarin presents to us in the form of a magnet) A cherished souvenir!
Sometimes in life, we are so busy living, we miss something else, that moment is gone, so begin TODAY with Makoto (sincerity and focus).

Wednesday 12th
How many greens can you count….
PL Day 12 Carry out what you believe in
Once you’ve prepared everything to the best of your ability seize any opportunity that comes your way, take action without hesitation. Express yourself to the fullest.
The world is not only full of colour, but provides us with an abundance of textures, variation on shades and so much more, Yes there is beauty in a flower, but the subtle shading of the vegetation that often is the back drop for a flower(s), is more lasting, and enduring. Changing with the season we can never be bored. We need to see beyond transient beauty. The icing though good, and often very pretty, would be nothing without the cake. It exists because of the cake.

exercise in Nothing
Good morning everyone.. thinking to be smart, I thought I would take a picture of nothing (* wink) =^_*= I believe that nothing is always something.
Aim at the sky. darn, even when I thought it was open space.. look, its sky with different hues of blue. look even the sun peaked in.
hmmm nothing on the door, let’s take a picture of nothing there.
Little rascal,
evades me again, Nothing is the door!
OK, I spun around quickly and shot Nothing behind me..
Can you see Nothing…
Nope, concrete, wood and vegetation. Nothing is always SOMETHING.
So, next time someone asks you, “what are you doing” and you say “NOTHING” ………………………. or when you are asked, what are you thinking, and you reply “NOTHING” ………………………. what are you saying, what do you mean?
NOTHING IS ALWAYS SOMETHING

lush vegetation – magic for Canada’s 150
The following pictures were taken by Dan Larouche, who graciously let me post them so that you all can enjoy a touch of our celebrations for Canada’s 150.
This display has had many visitors over the last couple of months, if you can get to the Ottawa (Canada)
area, I think you will find a lot to enjoy. A photographer’s delight. (Jacques Cartier Park, on the Gatineau side of the river)
Chop Suey Saturday
off in the distance,
under the afternoon skies
they saw the same grouping
that they were looking at
just down the path
half covered by vines
Neither spoke
they stood rooted on the spot
another mystery
to be uncovered
Yvette arrived earlier
Clementine was due next week
excitement was building
Rosie promised she would
let them explore her
chest of drawers
they still had no idea
where the music came from
it happened when she was
working in her room,
and now, double statues
3 maidens high above
and 3 maidens on the ground
somewhere there was a clue
quietly no words spoken
they turned
walking deeper into the gardens.
neither saw the chest hidden further in
from where they had been standing.
