It is a beautiful day here in Ottawa.
So I finally took that walk with my camera.
Thought I would introduce my readers
So I finally took that walk with my camera.
Thought I would introduce my readers
to some typical sights of city living in Canada.
First sight, the mail box.
Notice the French on it?
Push - Poussez
There are various mail boxes like these around
the downtown
where I live...
But it still takes me a few days with a letter in my purse
to remember to mail it!
Sometimes I miss having a house with the mailbox along side!
I love this tree!
Such great expressive shapes and a surprisingly short
trunk and long branches...
Flowers sprouting! Green! Spring!?!
Some people say we will get more snow,
but I am with the one who say we will just get rain.
It has been a very unusual winter for Ottawa.
We only got one good snow fall all winter...

As usual I appreciate all the comments you all leave for me!
That you care really encourages me - thank you.

It was kind of strange to take a walk down the paths
that I walked down for the first time last summer.
Last summer was such a another unusual one for me -
trying to figure out what to do next,
recovering from the most difficult and complex
job situation I have yet to be in;
taking the class in 17th Century Lit
(still miss this in many ways).
***
It is still not easy to be in a state
where I am learning French
(Je suis appredre Français pour futur travail)
but have no idea what my next job will be.

I suppose that this is merely further lessons from
our Very Good Lord
on learning to live in the present.
***
(1st maxim)
be always with Christ
(maxim 34):
Be awake, and be attentive.
Be fully present where you are—wakefulness, watchfulness, attentiveness.
***
May the Lord help us to watch.
Wake, O My Soul,
Why are you sleeping?
The Bridegroom comes at midnight...
