Beginning Today...
I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.
I will look in the mirror and
I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me
is someone I enjoy spending time with
and someone I would like to get to know better.
I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world
and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
I will take a moment to step off the beaten path
and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which
hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement.
I will take life one day at a time,
one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.
I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else:
perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
I am responsible for my own happiness
and I will do things that make me happy. . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature,
listen to my favorite music,
pet a kitten or a puppy,
soak in a bubble bath . . .
pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
..... and every day.

*Working Towards a Better World
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well. -
Voltaire
The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship. - Amelia Earhart
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. - Saint Augustine
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
Mary Ritter Beard
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu
I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world. -
Laurel Clark
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. - St. Augustine
The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are. - Samuel Johnson
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. - Jawaharial Nehru
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends. -
Maya Angelou
Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white. - Mark Jenkins
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

This is a shot of the Roberto Clemente Bridge at night, from a recent photowalk. It was about 5°F that night, and I was stopping into every other little store I passed to warm up!! That is PNC Park where the Pittsburgh Pirates play on the left.
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Thanks!

MEANING OF PAINTING:
so many worries-democracy, climate change, viruses including covid 19, economy, woman's rights, voting rights, all people's rights, war in ukraine, and the list goes on and on.
So I have a lot of anxieties. Sometimes it gets so overwhelming nothing makes sense. I'm in my thirties now and you know, you'd think anxiety only lasts during your teenage years but sometimes it never goes away. I've been anxious about my career, my future, my love life, my body image, my social image, gosh, you name it. I can only assume some of you may feel anxious about something or other and I can also only assume your coping mechanisms.
One day as I was exploring every nook and cranny of New York City I stumbled upon a New Age shop (I love New Age shops) called Stick Stone and Bone. They had amazing precious stones, and petrified rocks, and incense, and tarots cards, you name it. But what I remember specifically were these little stick figure-like dolls wrapped in a colorful fabric called 'Worry-Dolls'. The story goes, that in Ancient Mayan civilization (or modern Guatemala), they were given to children so they could confide their worries. One doll for each worry. After, the children would place the dolls under their pillows and then sleep through the night. When they woke, the dolls would have worked their magic and the children's worries went away! I was instantly enchanted! I had goosebumps and even felt calmer after learning that and holding one of the dolls in my hand. A lot of people don't have access to therapy or anti-depressants, or maybe they don't have a close friend circle they can confide in every time they encounter a life hurdle. Sometimes, something really simple, like a fabric and stick doll can make all the difference. Sometimes all you need is something small to believe in but in fact, you're really learning to believe in yourself and invest in your own power. I'm all about that.

“Worry is like a rocking chair--it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.”
(Harold Stephens 1957 - Present)
Interview in two days and the me and the clones are starting to really worry..... not sure why as I'm super prepeped for all this. Still its a bad sign that they are so distracted they are not trying to kill me.... :S
Weird how much darker it got when I loaded it on to flickr as well! Guess it suits the mood....
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !
Well, only a bit of the actual window shows (upper left). However, the shutter and the androgynous little metal shutter keeper are certainly window stuff.
I think this is interesting on a composition level, but as per the caption, I am worried about the wires. It seems it wouldn't take much to create electrical trouble.
What if the wire insulation deteriorates more and some snow or wet debris connects the shutter keeper to both window wires? I wonder if I am beginning to sound like the world's most famous worrier about little things, Woody Allen.

Do not worry, or fear
I will always be waiting here
We carry each other
You and I
Such a love will never die
These words have just come to me now, as I loaded this image up, almost whispered into my ear. Perhaps no more needs to be said. Except to say this image was taken at Wilmington Church, East Sussex, UK.
Other poems and images can be seen at my website:
Two grandmas enjoyed a walk with our dear grandson and he just lapped up all the attention and love.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day,
I think people sometimes overthink, which leads them to be consumed by their own worries. The only exit, paradoxically lies within ourselves

Do you have Synaesthesia?
Dont worry...its not a disease. For people who have Synaesthesia, they see colors for different things, such as days of the week, or months of the year, for different people or certain names.
Ever since I was a little kid, I see specific colors for the days of the week and months of the year; for instance:
Sunday is redish orange
Monday is blue
Tuesday is orange
Wednesday is blueish green
Thursday is green
Friday is white
Saturday is red
If youd like to learn more about Synaesthesia, here is a link:
There once was a wild dog
named Worry
who traveled tensed up
and in a hurry.
He said, "My lunch was meat tarts,
it led to some farts,
And this evening's meal
is a curry."
Don't they have right to some serenity?
