Now we know !

I biked to Budapest Park yesterday, Saturday to survey my Octagon Labyrinth.
Many fading Pink lines needed repainting.
I returned today, Sunday, and began re-painting the Pink with a luminescent colour of light Lavender.
I painted ” SUNNYSiDE ” and outlined ” BUDAPEST park ” in the Lavender/White.
Got tired shortly after Sunset and headed home.
Still have lines in three Octants to re-paint.
InshAllah,
I will return and finish painting over the fading pink before Toronto’s Wading Pools are officially opened for Summer 2020.
That’s very cool. I went for a walk this morning before the mist and chill settled on the city.

Grateful for this photograph.
It shows me two of the Pink lines are already peeling away, revealing the underlying painted Black design outline.
InshAllah,
I should be able to at least repaint these Pink lines asap.
YES ! https://t.co/wYvUEmOGKv
Happy #WorldLabyrinthDay 2020 !

“Day 15 of my Gratitude journal:
🙏
Today I am grateful for my path in life.
It’s been full of twists and turns with many unexpected changes and circumstances.
🙏
Of the millions of steps I’ve taken to reach this point of my life, I can’t say I loved every step of the way.
Some were painful.
Some were frightening. Some were easy, breezy.
Some were forgotten.
Despite the fact that I have my collection of regrets, not all of them were meaningless.
If not for some missteps, I would not have gathered valuable life lessons and experiences.
🙏
I don’t think I could’ve ever conjured up the current life I live, as I wasn’t one with lots of plans and dreams.
Mainly, many others have projected what they thought my life should look like, onto me.
Early on, I tried to fulfill those unrealistic lifestyles to make them happy, to seek their approval.
Sadly for them, I couldn’t make them happy.
In return, I also wasn’t happy.
🙏
These days, I might not be 200% certain each of my steps are perfect but at least each was my own decision.
Mistakes are part of life.
Most often than not, we don’t realize if a step was a mistake or a victory until we’re past it and further down the road.
However, we’d never know if we don’t take that step. We can start small, each baby step still counts.
This is empowerment.
This is life worth living.
🙏
Let’s start giving gratitude to what we have each day!
This will help us think more positively in challenging times like right now.
🙏
What are you grateful for?
🙏”
During this Pandemic, dogs still have to be walked.
And Liesel, a weimaraner, went Labyrinth Walking in Budapest Park, Toronto . . .
“Yesterday,
I walked a deserted Labyrinth.
It was a pattern I’d never walked before.
Halfway through I thought,
“I have no idea where I’m going.”
Then Spirit thought back to me,
“Yes. And isn’t it grand?”
I had to laugh.
It was such a metaphor for life.
Uncertainty will always be dodging at our heals but when you take the steps the path reveals itself.
Keep moving forward.
You will find your way.
You got this.”
A different perspective on my most recent Labyrinth.
My choice of red-pink-orange-beige paints feels right.
Grateful I skipped using blue, green, and other darker colours.

Did a photo shoot plus music video atop my Octagon Labyrinth in Budapest Park in Sunnyside, Toronto . . .
“With everything shut down the boardwalk was busy.
Plus,
It seemed like a good day to finally walk the Labyrinth.”
