IS YOUR LIFE IN ORDER?


 Being in order does bring some calm to a busy life!

Knowing what tasks need to be done.

Neat and simple!

Order is relative however.

Also necessary to be prepared for a crisis or unforeseen event!

Having many areas in your life helps you to be able to deal with the unexpected better!

OCTOBER FLYING BY-GETTING TASKS DONE

 October is one of those Fall months that one thinks there is so much time to get activities done.

Thanksgiving with the cleaning and meal preparation is such a doable festive time.

Most of the tasks are work. Like garden cleanup. I had a tap replaced which was more of a half day than an hour job.

The start of serious Christmas shopping. I have been out once to Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket. But online shopping for availability of items is still easier to do.

Birthdays in November will be fun. Along with community events.

I feel though with only a week and a bit left to the month that I need to pick up speed in what needs to be done.

The Halloween candies are bought so just need to organize some little bags for the trick and tweeters. I plan to put out wipes and hand sanitizer for the little ones and parents for reassurance.

So I will move along and see where the month takes me.

TRYING A NEW PERSPECTIVE BRINGS NEW ENERGY


 Who really likes being in a rut?

Safe.
Predicable.
Realiable.

So could be the reason not to try change of any kind.
So looking at a life from a new angle can give that new perspective.
Well go on. Give it a try.

A POSTCARD FROM WAIKIKI 1970


 While on our honeymoon May 1971 I bought this oversize postcard.

It has the names of the hotels and resorts on Waikiki.

Wonder how many still have the same name?

You know it is Vintage. Over 50 years old!!

I guess it means I am vintage too.

VACCINE CERTIFICATES REALLY WORK-THE SYSTEM WORKS


 So printed up my vaccine certificate last Friday. Easy. Took a couple of minutes.

Put it in plastic covering. Folded neatly so the scan showed.
Followed advice not to damage the scan.
Went to my first event.
The staff buzzed the scan and a green tick appeared.
I was good to go.
So following the health care protocols continues to be the best option.
Yes the Certificate has Ontario logo in one corner at the top and Canada logo at the other corner.

So good to go for International travel.
Guess what naysayers the system works.

Have a good day.
