I subscribe to the mailing list from the FIndhorn community because sometimes what I receive is simply lovely, as it is today – Be very, very simple, very un-complex, very natural, like very small happy children, undisturbed by what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow, but living and enjoying the ever present Now to the very…
Rainy summer days seem just perfect for geeking out and spending far too much time on the computer instead of being outdoors, frolicking in the rain. I do have great rain gear and it’s not cold outside despite the low hanging greyness of the supposedly summer days so I really have no excuse for becoming…
What are you planning for the weekend? I may be stretching my limits however… I’m Hoping to Run My First 5k I’m going to run my first ever 5k on Sat May 9th. I’ve been running for a few months now however I’m not very fast, nor can I run very far. I guess you…
I have a number of siblings and when we were younger we were all great friends. We regularly holidayed together and visited with each other. If one of us was in trouble we all did our best to help out, sometimes travelling thousands of miles to do so. Over the past decade there have been many big changes in…
Do I have to? How often were those words uttered in childhood and still they go through my head today? There were a few things I “have to” this week – dreaded paperwork and menu planning. Paperwork – need I say more? Never my favourite occupation – it’s not that I can’t, it’s more that…

I put this post up on Blog Gems for Jen this week – it’s not a laugh out loud post however if you’ve been looking at hospital walls for weeks on end then it may make you smile 🙂
Made me smile without the context of hospital walls. Your exquisite photography is enhanced by the captions.
Sorry I did not remember you are in Ireland (from my response to your comment at my place). Your online name is familiar in a friendly way. Hope you are able to see more thistle in real life soon.
Made me smile! I had a very rough day and you reminded me about the simple beauty of nature. I need to just chill out and think about the bigger picture rather than being in a funk. Did you take these pictures? They are fantastic!
Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.
Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂
As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
