My favourite things... :)



We all have bad days... Moments in our life that are less than perfect and often we ask, "Why me?"... If we look around us, people are experiencing far worse than us.

If we focus on what life has to offer, eventually we see the silver lining and remind ourselves that life hasn't always been as bad, and sometimes challenges define who we are. So we should perhaps smile and accept that our lessons are unique compared to those around us.

We should not assume that another person's issues are any less important than ours, to them... To them, they matter. That is their world, the world that defines them, what their strengths and weaknesses are.

So, this is where we remember our favourite things... What are yours?

And to be able to read the books I want, but do not have any photos of that, sorry. laugh But my favorite thing is Nature, and you can see that in my blog today.
Welela... I would love to walk down that path! Where does it lead?

I like books too.smile At one point they were breeding in my home...that is the only thing that could account for the mounting piles of them.
Yeah, and I would have love to take you there. This path goes from my home out deeper into the forest and ends up in the middle of it
(sort of) There is paths and small roads everywhere in this forest. It is used for riding horses and to train race horses as well. No cars allowed, so it's good to be out there. hug teddybear

Welela,

It's lovely. What a beautiful place to live. I have a National Park not too far from home... one day, I shall have to share photos... Mind you, everywhere I go , I go walking in parks. Like the one above... that is in Bastrop. ( The second one) ... the other one, I can remember where I was... it was um, a few hours away from Houston. lol
Hello Timotie,

Thank you... I enjoyed seeing Texas. It's a very beautiful state.

Hi Abagail, when I'm feeling bad it's often because I'm tired. I try to get a good meal (too often I just skip that part) and go to bed early. If I did a lot of travelling, would be tired and just didn't see my friends, I would meet up for a bite to eat and we catch up on what is going on in our lives. Did that the last 2 nights and will do today and even if I don't know when I'll stop being tired, it's good to have something going on in your life.

Love the pics, I did a lot of walking around Lough Derg last year, beautiful area. Have yet to find something here, another thing to sort out. wave
Abagail, yes you must share your lovely photos. It is so nice to get to see other landscapes and differences in our nature. So come on share them, I will be so happy to see them. hug teddybear

You know memories
are of past.
That's Why a Saying .

"0ld is Gold'bouquet
K... I do understand fatigue and I would not wish it on anyone. It's great to hear you have had time to catch up with friends.

I had to google Lough Derg... it's very pretty. I can't wait to see Ireland, my Grandfather used to describe it as vibrant and green.
Thank you, Welela... I will have to drag them out slowly out of files. I don't spend nearly enough time bushwalking anymore. I am envious of your 'walks'.

Timotie... Agreed!

We had a very late winter here, it's getting green now. It is a beautiful little country to travel around, have a great time. bouquet
The trip to Ireland is five or so weeks away... AND ... I have so much to do before then. I haven't had a moment to think about it... laugh work is too busy!

Thank you, K.
Hi Abagail, handshake

Yes, it is, Dela... I am curious...there is a sign there.. red circle with white line... what is that ?
It is a Private Property, Access Prohibited sign, it is on the edge of a small town in Gascony.

Sorry for the double post Abagail.
The scenery is gorgeous. Access prohibited??? I was rather astounded that in the UK that 'ramblers' are allowed public access to properties. I found that bizarre. I think it would be normal not to access someone's property without permission
If I cross my eyes, Delatude... I only see it once. grin
Now, I only see one too. laugh
Life's little difficulties are so often fixed if we simply change perspective. wink
Exactly, Abagail. thumbs up
Hi Abagail,

I'm not such a good photograher, but managed to snap this one about a year ago.

Hello Abagail. You are absolutely right.hug
Bogart... What can I say, I know you LOVE hearing me complain! So I do it for you! batting

Travelling is right up there for me, I thought I would never do it, in fact, I was told I would never do it. I was told that I would never do anything. Firstly, because I was a girl. Secondly because everything was too expensive.

Martha... I love the beach scene... reminds me a little of a place I went to in Cairns, or the beautiful clear water of Phi Phi Islands. Thank you for sharing.

St Elmo... Spectacular photography? Did you take these? The colour is so vibrant.

Ummka
... Thank you. At times I have been known to be right, of course there are other times I am not. grin
Abagailwine you can complain ... comfort that´s..enough !! grin
laugh Bogart... you gave me one second to complain? Is that really fair?
