There is a humbling within one’s heart that comes in the gift of beautiful gestures by others when one’s birthday comes. Yesterday I was taken aback in the most glorious and unassuming way by an unexpectedness. An unpredicted gift of precious moments that I felt again and again as the day ensued. I felt aContinue reading “Birthday Lesson”

What if I have had it?
Honest to goodness. Sometimes one finds themselves listening to a piece of thinking that gets you to pause abruptly. This morning I was listening to a video clip of a radio host interviewing Graham Norton, a British TV host of celebrities. The interviewer asked his guest about a life lesson moment in his childhood. SoContinue reading “What if I have had it?”
Autumn Splendour
I think I like the colour autumn. I recently read that somewhere on a thread as September comes a calling where a random post asked what colour people liked and one person said ‘autumn’. I had to smile at that because it made so much sense to me. Yes I like autumn as a colourContinue reading “Autumn Splendour”
Quiet of the Morn
A beautiful morning awaits as I trek down the road toward the picturesque harbour setting. It never gets old as I take in the silence and picturesqueness of the early hours this day. Every where I look, I see signs of life. Still in its presence but a sight to behold as I amble alongContinue reading “Quiet of the Morn”
Oh Dad! A Father’s Manual
Your day is here. Lovely. I mean everyday is dad’s day in some ways (according to some which of course I am not mentioning any names…Dad). But its this day, the dedicated day, to all fathers young and old alike. I cannot believe it has been almost a year since you left me, us, theContinue reading “Oh Dad! A Father’s Manual”
Oh Maggie May
How does such a little four-legged pawed pup have such a pull on one’s heart? I had to say a final goodbye to my Maggie May on Monday morn. Never did it occur to me that when I brought her into the vet that she would not be leaving with me. Although the Sunday eveningContinue reading “Oh Maggie May”
Tomorrow is never promised
Yes, we do not know what is in store for us as tomorrow is never promised. I really like that thought. So today I am going to embrace it. Only God knows what is around the corner and life is too precious to be ignored. Oh my goodness, even though it is still a bitContinue reading “Tomorrow is never promised”
I welcome the sun
It may be bitterly cold with the wind but I so welcome the sunshine. The sun seems to be brighter these days. Yes it may hit the whiteness of the snow covered fields and be blinding at times (drive carefully when driving into the morning sun) but I really am grateful for the rays ofContinue reading “I welcome the sun”
Can’t Beat Her, Join Her
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Mother Nature you rascal. You are up to your old tricks again. Just peeked out to see the early morning dawn and lo and behold, you left your wake of fresh powdered snow all around my place. Beautiful. The colour of the bluish white snow fallen upon the earth is breathtaking asContinue reading “Can’t Beat Her, Join Her”
Goldilocks and Me
Have you ever stopped to think that part of our life mantra is kind of like living out the three bears story through Goldilocks perspective? Although, I maybe need to alter the goldie of locks part to one of brown/graydilocks as more apropos for moi. Anyway, I have been caught up lately in the brrrringContinue reading “Goldilocks and Me”
