Protecting our privacy is good, they say. Still the need for it makes me sad. Nameless, if you will.
Owning a cat reduces your risk of heart attack or stroke, but don’t try to outrun them.
When we run a race, do we start at the finish line? I LOVE the movie, Groundhog Day. In fact it might be my favourite of all time, but the day? What a ridiculous idea. We can’t skip over winter to get to spring. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER NO MATTER WHAT! This is Canada, for goodness sake. Nature has to run the race. We can’t start at finish line. That’s the theme of the movie. Settle in. Take steps over and over. You’ll get there.
I’m more comforted to feel that the Great Power is not separate and apart from me, and that it lies within us all. I find that to be a more tenable position in hard times, because then there’s no questioning or pointing fingers at a force outside of ourselves.
Winter is here, but it has been too “warm” (a relative term) to produce ice thick enough to support people on the Rideau Canal Skateway—the world’s largest skating rink. The conditions did produce this natural beauty though.
Oh that is lovely. I’ve never seen anything like it. If we’re going to have winter, then let it be pretty!
Yes. Winter so often is beautiful. I like winter, actually, so I don’t need to struggle to find the happiness in it, but a little extra crystal beauty is a nice bonus.
Wintry designs on a canal – beyond beautiful, stunning!
I have such warm memories of skating on a neighbor’s pond during a PA winter. Sometimes there was hot cocoa. Thanks for these warm and toasty thoughts from Ottawa, Arlene!
I’ll bet our wintry weather is very different from what you are experiencing. There is a dusting of snow falling this morning, but it’s still not cold enough to freeze that canal! Soon, I hope.
Wow! I’ve never seen that on the canal before! What an amazing phenomenon.
I know, right? I thought I’d seen everything wonderful that the canal had to offer, but it was still full of surprises.
