According to Buddha
So go with the flow, doing your best to accept and appreciate everything just the way it is (including your own imperfect efforts to resist nothing.) In doing so, you’ll find that the world becomes more chill, people become more beautiful, and your heart becomes increasingly filled with sweet, sweet gratitude.
you’ve got to get up every morning
with a smile in your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
then people gonna treat you better
you’re gonna find, yes you will
that you’re beautiful, as you feel

day trip central Alberta ~ Treaty 6 ~ a day or so ago ~ April 2020
I don’t think I could survive without images and words from you.
HEALTH today NO virus.
Awe…Barry I don’t know what to say other than thank you so much…heartfelt ☺️…I do my posts for me to make sense of what I witness…feel and wonder…you know 🤓…and I do believe we are stronger than we think…and that life includes chapters of beginnings, middles and ends…in the wise words of Hannah Arendt “storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.”…we work again on staying healthy every day…and we learn more about this virus…sending you and your loved ones all good things 🤓🙃🙂❣️
I love looking at photos of old abandoned buidlings, Hedy. They make me wonder about their past. I hope you are safe and well. Have a great week.

Resist nothing? Reminds me of a guy who sat on a park bench for two years. 🙏
yes it’s a challenge for some…I’ve had wonders and questions…the unknown…I reminded of a friend who told me be a tree…it’s in one place it’s whole life…hard for me to resist nothing…I’m like a filly in a round pen at times 🤓🙃🙂 but that is cabin fever from loooooooooooong winter….yearning warmth and green now ☺️🌱 have a happy day Mike ~ smiles hedy
I meant Eckhart Tolle, take care!
ahhhhh okay thank for this Mike I ought to pay a bit of attention to his work…take care too you! ☺️

Alison
Thank you kindly Alison 🌸always appreciated 🤗 hoping you and Don are enjoying your spring weekend ~ hugs hedy💕
Love these old houses. I wonder what went on behind those walls. The human stories. Love, joy, sorrow, fun…
Thank you for your words. Just what I needed after a run down with my bank in France. 10,000 kms away, bureaucrats can be aggravating… 🙂 But your words made me smile again. Dankje Hedy
oh good smiles we need more and more…now some are hidden with public masks…such strange times Brian…but together we will move through this pandemic yet! …and yes old abandoned building are always exciting and curious…hugs hedy ☺️🤗💫
I hope you do have masks in Canada. France seems to be very low on those still… Hugs back
I’m not hearing of shortages for health workers…humans are making some for going outside…currently I’m not wearing a mask…hugs back…hoping you and your loved ones are strong and safe again this week 🤓💪 🤗
Thank you Hedy. Likewise.
The pink tones do something very interesting to that old wood. And is that another layer you used? It’s terrific, Hedy!
the front was pink the side a tad more peach…and yes I shot on my fuji and then played in Ps on my phone after a tiny Lr edit…I added the weeds🌱…and I don’t remember how it did it…it felt right in the moment…I do enjoy the layers…fun to play with sometimes…thank kindly Lynn for asking…hoping you’re doing ok…now I also want to see the snow geese apparently they also come this far north…anyways looking into that…bye for now 💐💕 hugs hedy
That’s what I thought – that you added the weeds, which look great there – you’re so good at getting that graphic balance just right. And you don’t remember how you did it – so funny, I can relate! Yes, check out where the snow geese are – check the inaturaltist app if you haven’t used it before. It can be helpful for seeing what people are finding in your area at a given time. Smiles to you!
I wish I could us “PS express” on my computer…and no sometimes I just get into making a set of images and export them…my Lr organization is sloppy…I prefer the development mode…yes I will look for those geese this week…as you know spring is slow…longest winter since 1960…so my whole life…I knew it felt long 🤓😄 hugs hedy
What you didn’t need: the longest winter in the time of the virus. What you have: abundant creativity and spirit. Keep it up, Hedy! 🙂
Thank you kindly Lynn thank you 🙏 ❣️
