Canadian Thanksgiving Day

 Today October 10th the Canadians celebrates Thanksgiving.  And since I'm here in Canada, I expect food just as I would expect it next month when we in the US celebrates ours. Oh yes, I'm thankful. I'm thankful every day. But let's be honest, in every celebration isn't it celebrated with food? Thanksgiving is the jumping point to Christmas, and it's the last meal before the year ends that we can eat without guilt and explanation---because we're not expected to bring a gift to exchange. I don't know what sorry soul came up with this invention of exchanging gifts at Christmas. I like receiving gifts. I like receiving lots of gifts. Exchanging? Not so much. Oh well, I need to go and eat at Chat's house. I'm not expected to bring anything but my Redneck.

Mexican Panaderia

I grew up with a mother who did not believe in luxurious spending; by luxurious I mean not spending on anything besides the necessary rice and dried fish. When she cooked our food using oil instead of the usual grilling or boiling, I suspected someone must have died and left us a big inheritance. Cakes? The first bite that entered my mouth was when I was in high school when a rich classmate brought some for the teacher. My palate was not trained on sweets so I don't really crave for them but when I go to the Mexican market I always stop by their panaderia and make my eyes feast on the rich colors.

Energy affects Matter

Everything we see is matter and it contains atomic particles. In quantum physics scientists  discovered that atomic particles are not visible unless it is observed, meaning it responds to the observers interaction with it. Words are energy and it affects matter. Remember when Jesus spoke to the fig tree and cursed it simply with a negative pronouncement? The tree responded from the atomic level and dried up.[ Mark 11:14] Jesus was demonstrating a simple law of physics.

The things that you desire are made up of atoms, they know what you believe, they hear what you say and behave accordingly. So be careful of the words you speak because  everything will obey you. Except your husband.

 

Empowered Friday

 It's Friday ya'll and blessings are coming your way. Regardless what you hear or feel today, know that the God of the universe who created you, who formed you in the womb and separated you from the crowd of losers and small mindedness, loves you and is ready to give you what He has always planned for you. Jeremiah 29:11

Our hope is not only in knowing that God loves us but that the one Who loves us has the power to make things happen for us. Just believe and receive this truth!

 I am now reunited with my old books. I went through the box and found that these are the old Harvard Classics. It's ok but I was hoping my old Mark Twain books are here. With all the  moving I've done I got rid of all my books except this classics because I was hoping my daughter would want to keep it for the grands. But she doesn't want them so I took them back. They're in my condo here in Canada now. And I'm here with them.

Now I just need to figure out how to post pictures again. This laptop is 6 days old, it's  bought I by my friend. For  me. Yes, for me. For the last 7 years I only used my cell phone. Now, I am back to spin words.

Hang in there peeps. 

I. Am.Here.

 After several years. The time is NOW. I am back and ready to spin some words. If you stayed with me through all these years without a word from me, I owe you. And I love you. 

Imagination

 Everything we want to happen starts with imagination. If you can imagine it, you can have it.

 So today I am going to work hard(er) at forming this image that I want to manifest in the natural. Very soon.

A few minutes ago I declared to myself: I'm going to start a Vlog. I've seen that word, Vloggers, Vlogging.  I've seen the product. I like it. But, really. I don't want to speak or be seen on the video.

Well, let me see if I could even spin two words together without getting stuck or bored. 

I'm still here. Thinking.

Maybe tomorrow.

A year ago today I had this cabin delivered to my land. And I lived my favorite Thoreau quote: I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,  to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach me and not when I came to die discover that I had not lived.
Thoreau left the woods after two years because he realized that he had several more lives to live and.could not spare any more time for the one in the woods.

Well, my goal is 3 years, so two more to go for me.
I love Thoreau but considering that he only lived 44 years with all his "simplifying" principles, I better not copy him too much. At least, I have outlived him by 16 years. Maybe it's the wild hogs and deer  I've been eating.
