Picture of the Week.....The worst hair cut ever!

One of my Favorites

Hold fast to dreams,

for if dreams die,

life is a broken-winged bird,

that cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams,

for if dreams go,

life is a barren field,

frozen with snow.

-Langston Hughes

HMMM....

"...there is only one way to strive for decency, reason, responsibility, sincerity, civility and tolerance, and that is decently, reasonably, responsibly, sincerely, civilly and tolerantly."
-Vaclav Havel

Picture Of The Week...

Personally, I think they're both beautiful.

Move or Die

What is it about change that scares us to our core? We've been changing since the day we were born and with every breath since. You'd think we'd be use to it. Yet still we resist, with every fibre of our being. We avoid, make excuses, pull the covers over our head & say we'll deal with it tomorrow. And we never do, at least I don't. Then something happens & we are forced to stop & rethink everything. I'm not talking about changing our hair style or our job, I mean real change. Sometimes the universe moves & we are forced to change the way we think. Change how we live our lives & the choices we make every day. A change of scenery or wardrobe can feel liberating, they can inflat your sails & send you on your way. But a change at our core can be utterly terrifying. And at times, completely necessary.

Destiny or Choice???

Don't you just hate decisions? The choice between one path or another. The life I have or a brand new way of being full of surprises & unknowns. Do I stay straight, veer right, take a left or maybe back track a mile or two? Every seemingly unimportant decision can change everything...indefinitely. We change with every breath, literally. So how do you choose?

Sometimes a little backtracking can save you in the long run. Sometimes when we are on our way to our dreams we get lost & in the process find a better way, sometimes we even find a better dream.

Picture of the Week.......because sometimes we all need our space

HMMM.....

In fact the ability to start out upon your own impulse is fundamental to the gift of keeping going upon your own terms, not to mention the further & more fulfilling gift of getting started all over again - never resting upon the oars of success or in the doldrums of disappointment...getting started, keeping going, getting started again - in art & in life, it seems to me this is the essential rhythm.
-Seamus Heaney
