Never Waste Any Amount Of Time Doing Anything Important When There Is A Sunset Outside That You Should

Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under!” ― C. JoyBell C. Last night this gorgeous burst of color, framed by a break in the clouds, made doing the, in the scheme of things, unimportant errands, so much more the pleasure….Bon Mardi, mes amis!

And she was fair as is the rose in May. Geoffrey Chaucer And the rose was as fair as she….Bon Mardi, mais amis!

“Alright Mr DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up……”. Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard. This wee one hopped over, took care of a bit of grooming, then, struck a pose…..how could I resist? Bon Samedi, mes amis!

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Tecumseh Joy and gratitude....one feeds the other until you're not quite sure where one ends and the other begins. Take this shot, for example, what do you see first? Do you see just another street with a dirt pile & construction equipment? Or, perhaps, do you see the beauty of the late evening light, how it makes the greens pop against the rolling grey clouds in contrast with the dark shadows & asphalt of the street? Beauty is everywhere, things to be grateful for are hiding in the most mundane stuff you see everyday.....just waiting for you to discover them.....little G-d gifts......just when you need them.....always at the right time and place......yeah, He's THAT good..... Bon Mercredi, mes amis!

Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself [and trust in the One who created you]is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bare the genesis of a new world, a new forest. Mike Norton, White Mountain [thoughts in brackets , mine]. So eloquently stated, Mr Norton….I’m inclined to agree….Bon Samedi, mes amis!

Belated Mother’s Day lunch today, avoiding the crowds yesterday……thank you Maddy!! 😘 Now, go back to minding the GAP…….lol….Bon Lundi, mes Amis!!
