The bench
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.- Confucius

It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted. But positive changes are coming my way! I’ve got some awesome travels coming up to Tucson (where this photo was taken of a desert flower), Breckinridge to ski and then Belize! Plus I’m launching my freelance writing business. Now is the time to seize the day! 🌟✨🌟✨ I am not getting any younger. 🌟
Happy Holidays! Enjoying a beautiful sunset over the York River in Virginia. I love spending time with family. Wishing a lovely 2019 to all! Thank you for your continual support. 🌟✨🌟✨
There is something truly magical about a light misty morning rain in the Austrian Alps. This photo was taken in the Salzkammergut region of Austria on the way to The historic town of Hallstatt. I was disappointed to rise to another day or rain yet looking back what a divine view we had that July morning.
Nothing like taking a rest after a few hours hike in the middle of a desert canyon with seven thundering waterfalls. 🌟✨🌟✨
There is something to be said about being on the water. The peace and tranquility of floating in eternal time, letting all your worries float away. A magical feeling.
“And after a long time the boy came back again. "I am sorry, Boy," said the tree, "but I have nothing left to give you-
My apples are gone." "My teeth are too weak for apples," said the boy. "My branches are gone," said the tree. "You cannot swing on them-" "I am too old to swing on branches," said the boy. "My trunk is gone," said the tree. "You cannot climb-" "I am too tired to climb," said the boy. "I am sorry," sighed the tree. "I wish that I could give you something... but I have nothing left. I am an old stump. I am sorry..."
"I don't need very much now," said the boy, "just a quiet pleace to sit and rest. I am very tired." "Well," said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could, "well, an old stump is a good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest."
And the boy did.
And the tree was happy.”
-Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree
