Magic Moments, Catching Sight of the Beatiful

The last week  has been one of Starts and Ends, Firsts and Lasts, Highs and Lows.
My emotions, which are delicate at the best of times (!) have ensured that I have laughed, cried, shouted, withdrawn, worried and celebrated!

So this afternoon,  I am trying to catch up with all those things that need to be done which I don't really find very exciting! Housework, paperwork, parceling up presents for Nieces and Nephews, washing and cooking dinner! (yes,  definately a domestic ungoddess!!!)

So while I do all these things which are preventing me from writing my blog, I have been taking photos of those little moments that have made me  smile, laugh and feel like I'm going to burst with pleasure! What I cannot take a photo of is the music I am listening to which are some of the favourite sounds of Karin Davis who has the Captivating, Dreamy, Floaty, Enchanting and Magical blog Moonlight and Hares. http://moonlightandhares.blogspot.com/

So here is a snapshot of what is going on around my place this afternoon!!! 

MY DOGS RELAXING, SNOOZING AND WATCHING!
COME ON MUM, ENOUGH HOOVERING, WE WANT A WALKIE!!!

THE WAY THE SUN IS SHINING GIVES THE VIEW OUT OF  MY BEDROOM WINDOW A WARM GLOW.

A REFLECTION ON THE WALL FROM THE SUN SHINING THROUGH THE COLOURED GLASS ON THE FRONT DOOR

A ROSE AND TULIPS THAT LOOK EVEN BETTER NOW IN THEIR DRIED AND SHRIVELLED UP FORM AS THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE FRESH 3 WEEKS AGO!



 GETTING OUT FOR THAT WALK IN BETWEEN "TASKS". WHEREVER WE GO, WHENEVER WE GO, STORMBY ALWAYS FINDS A BALL!
WHAT MORE CAN MAKE ME BURST WITH ANTICIPATION, EXCITEMENT AND JOY BUT THE EVIDENCE THAT SPRING IS HERE! EVEN IF I DO HAVE TO GET BACK TO MY "TASKS", SPRING IS STILL OUTSIDE THE DOOR WAITING FOR ME!


SO, I AM SIGNING OFF TO FINISH OFF WHAT I NEED TO DO BECAUSE THEN I CAN COME BACK TO MY BLOGASPACE WHICH IS WHERE I REALLY WANT TO BE THIS AFTERNOON.

THANKYOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE READING AND FOLLOWING! I AM COMPLETELY
DELIGHTED AND HUMBLED THAT I HAVE GATHERED A FEW FOLLOWERS. I HAVE SO MUCH TO LEARN AND YOU ARE ALL AMAZING WRITERS WITH CREATIVITY FLOWING FROM YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS. YOU HAVE CAPTUREED MY IMAGINATION AND FILLED ME WITH A DESIRE TO WRITE, CREATE AND ACT UPON MY WORDS.

REX, KAREN, ARLEEN AND MAURA, THANKYOU FOR GIVING ME THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND INSPIRATION TO MAKE THIS INTO SOMETHING!

YOUR BLOGS ARE PROLIFIC, PROFOUND AND PURE PLEASURE TO READ. THEY ARE ENGAGING, EXCITING AND ENCHANTING.

AT LAST, I FEEL I AM REAPING THE REWARDS OF KEEPING A BLOG. MY FIRE IS FUELLED BY ALL THE OTHER BEAUTIFUL BLOGS I HAVE DISCOVERED AND WILL BE FOLLOWING AND I KNOW THERE ARE MORE OUT THERE TO FIND!

 MY CREATIVITY IS DESPERATE TO EXPLODE AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR EVERY MOMENT I HAVE TO SPEND DEVELOPING IT!

I WROTE IN MY LAST POST AND POSTS BEFORE IT, THAT I STRIVE TO BE AN ARTIST AND AN ACTIVIST.
AT LONG LAST, I FEEL THAT I AM ON THAT PATH AND NOT STRAYING OFF WHEN IT ALL FEELS TOO MUCH. 
 I BELIEVE I AM THERE, I'M DOING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AND REACHING OUT TO OTHERS ALONG THE WAY THROUGH WRITING AND ACTING UPON MY BELIEFS.

 LAST WEEK I RAN A VEGAN COOKERY WORKSHOP AND AM DOING ANOTHER TOMORROW.

TO ALL MY FELLOW DETERMINED, CREATIVE, PRODUCTIVE BLOGGERS OF SUBSTANCE -

YOUR CREATIONS ARE INFLUENTIAL AND STIMULATING.

THROUGH DRAGONFLYASPIRATIONS AND MOONLIGHT AND HARES, LILAC COTTAGE, STARTING OVER, ACCEPTING CHANGES, A SCULPTURED LIFE, ONE JANUARY DAY, ACORN GATHERER  AMONG MANY OTHERS, I HAVE RECONNECTED WITH MY CREATIVITY AND FEEL THE OVERWHELMING URGE TO WRITE, MAKE AND CRAFT!

THERE IS SO MUCH I WANT TO DO AND LEARN. I AM SO EXCITED BY THE PROSPECT OF WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND HERE IS A SPACE TO DOCUMENT IT!

MY LIFE IS SPILLING OUT THE CUP, SO MUCH IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW BUT I AM GRABBING IT WITH BOTH HANDS AND TAKING EVERY CHANCE I HAVE.

AND NOW, I MUST GO AND MAKE DINNER!

Sunrays, Moonbeams, Light, Love, Peace & Hugs

  1. First of all, I love the title of your blog. I wish I had given more thought to mine, but when I started a year ago, I never thought anyone would read it and definitely did not imagine that I would stick with it this long. However, through it, I have met many interesting people from all over the world, who engage me with their thoughts and prose. I have come to think of many of them as dear friends.

    Now that you are here in Bloggertown, we welcome you and look forward to reading about your love of life. The pictures of the dogs made me laugh out loud and the others, especially the sun coming through the window, were lovely.

    Enjoy your day, even the boring tasks. There is something that can be achieved from each thing we do, no matter how mundane they may be.

    1. Dear Arleen, I had no idea of the wonderfully, interesting and fascinating blogs that fill the blogasphere! goodness, i want to read all of them and all of the archives but all the time in the world wouldn't allow me to do that as well as write my own! Any tips!!! thankyou for your encouragement and for your own blog which is expressive, beautifully displayed and gives us some sense of the lovely person you are. Oh, and by the way, I love the name of it!

    1. Hi Rex
      Thankyou for your words of encouragement! I really relate to your description of yourself and your man! My Man is a potter who, alas, finds little time to indulge in his craft as he feels he has to work in a job that essentially makes him unhappy! hence, we too, are looking for a place to achieve a green and happy lifestyle in which our achievements will only be limited by our imaginations!
