So I’m sitting in front of my computer, mindlessly going through my Facebook feeds, emails, reading blogs, all the while sniffling, sneezing, blowing my nose and generally feeling miserable, when a friend posts a beautiful poem that simply goes right to my core.
I decided to copy and paste it to a photo I took. Why the bird? I dunno. There was enough empty space beside it! There were others I could have chosen but this one felt right…
Thank you, Sonia, for sharing this lovely poem!

Artful Words to Inspire Fearless Living
Read my mind
Pain goes in, love comes out.

Shaken, Not Slurred
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Words happen, let them!

Art Towards a Happy Day
Pull up a chair. Let's talk.
Writing is the way.

Because sometimes life just makes you stop and think
Well my goodness, that’s lovely! And lovely bird shot as well!

Thank you, Joy! I was pleased with that shot… they are not always so willing to stick around long enough for me to change lens! 😉

I just commented on the wrong post, the gratitude one, but you probably figured out I meant to comment on this one! 🙂

LOL! With the comment section in WP, they all jumble together…so I actually assumed it was this one!

Dale, hope you get rid of those ‘sniffles’ pronto.
Love the Derek Walcott poem ~ love ALL Derek Walcott poems. Great idea to match it up with the photo. Strange, I always think, how photos have a way of pressing themselves forward and refusing to be ignored!
