Saturday Thought: " Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference." ~Virginia Satir, Psychotherapist & Author
This little bit of Theodore Bear centering wisdom has nothing to do with political ideologies. ;-)

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. -Rumi-

Flickr Bingo 2: O74, A Thought for the Day
The KISS Method: "Keep It Simple Stupid."
I've been thinking about this lately, and had a conversation about this with a friend the other day. Not specifically the "KISS Method" but rather the idea of learning to live. Instead of always looking ahead or behind, learning to be happy in the moment.
Living with continued milestones (finishing each year of school, graduating the various levels, finding the next job, getting married...etc), I have found myself looking ahead to those milestones... but when you discover that those milestones aren't what make you happy, I found that there was a moment of "Well, what now then?" and there's almost a nihilistic weight. Being a Christian, my faith has been struggling as of late, but it is still there and I reach for my faith and I know that in Christ is my self-worth and my purpose. Still, I am only human, and I do tend to complicate matters far too much.
So, I find I just need to relax, take a step back, thank the Lord for the blessings He's giving me, and be happy in the moment. Let's just keep it simple.
Gratitude
I'm thankful for days with no plans, where we can hang out, watch some TV, eat some awesome food, play with the baby, and just enjoy each other's company.
Thought for the day - Tell someone today how much they've meant to you and how much they have impacted your life. Everyone needs to be affirmed once in a while.♥
If you take a wonder through my stream you will see that I LOVE colour, so I thought this Hans Hofmann quote was perfect for the ODC theme "The whole world as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color".
This was another one I took yesterday for the quoted theme, but I was unsure of the composition of it when I transferred it to Lightroom, something just did not look right to me, but I did love the colour and the quote, hence I have decided to post it anyway.
I hope you are all having a fantastic Thursday x
When I was at tech college on a building technology course ( goodness how I ended up there ) , one of the subjects was Structural Drawing Office Studies which was going down like a lead balloon !! It was a subject I did not enjoy and did not do well in ( the Land Surveying part of the course was far more engaging to the point I dropped out of the course to pursue working as a land surveyor , which I did throughout most of the 1970s ) . However , the lecturer in the Structural Drawing Office Practice part of the course did one positive and a long lasting thing . One day he just came in and drew on the board a box - within the box he wrote the words " Plan Ahead " much as I have done above . It said such a lot and it is something I have carried with me ever since in all aspects of life in general - a life lesson I am truly grateful to have learnt so far back .
I had a great morning with NigelCox this morning at a couple of reservoirs in Hertfordshire, UK. Nigel kindly let me test two fabulous lenses that I am interested in buying - Nikkor 300mm f/2.8vr and 70-200mm 2.8 vr2. I also got the chance to try and capture some wildlife shots that at present, I really do not have the right lenses for. So, thanks again Nigel and I highly recommend you check out Nigel\'s fabulous photostream, where you will find some great photography!
Dearest Robert: Wishing you A VERY happy Birthday!
Now Voyager the remake starring:
Robert Hoover as Dr Jaquith , Gerry &
Mystic Ed as Camel Beauchops, "Apple Charlottel Veil" (pudding)
Gerry Hoover: "Shall we just have one final bounce up and down on your lap Charlotte?"
"Oh yes Gerry...and remember this little strip of territory known as our Child"
"Bounce me bounce me!" Gerry insisted as he took two cigarettes, put them to his lips and lit them both.
Charlotte ajusted her faux fur hat, bounced Gerry up and down and "POPPED HIM BETWEEN YER LEGS LIKE YOU DO!", gazed up at Gerry Robert Oberon and said:
"Oh Robert...dont lets ask for the moon! We have a....Max Factor eyebrow pencil!!!!!!, God Bless him!" (she had missed that bit earlier)
Mystic Charlotte Camel bounced Robert Gerry up and down once more.
"Why Charlotte, your crying!!" bounced back the bear
Charlotte Ed replied: "Oh Gerry...no one has ever called me DAAAARLINK before...these are just just tears of gratitude...an old bears gratitude...."and his camellia wilted and fell off as the 9.40pm train left the station....which zoomed past the Gladys Cooper memorial home for bewildered mothers who croak unexpectedly.
At this point there was a mixture of Tchaikovskys 6th symphony and a score: "Wrong, would it be wrong to kiss, seeing I feel like this, would it be wrong to try?"
Happy Birthday to our American Angel Robert!
We love you VERY much and always will.
"It Must be right...It Cant be Wrong...."
Always...OXO
Thought for the Day: Dont forget to tell someone how much you love them....and even if you forget thier birthday, as soon as you remember, let them know you care.
Clapham North station has classical music and a thought of the day.
Ran for 40 minutes with Sarah around Clapham Common. My first run here.
"Confidence, consistence, sharing, and positivity. Keep those things in mind and the day will be good. Don't let anyone stop your flow."
I want to thank Dayngr for posting my quote in her blog.
