365 Days of Colour - Flower for the day 286 - 292

Roots

365 Days of Colour - Flower of the Day 279 - 285


Misunderstandings 
Say what you mean and do what you say.  They say that actions peak louder than words and it is vitally important that when we promise ourselves that we are going to do something creative that we stick to our word, no matter how small, no matter how little time we have.  Being able to find the necessary time to nurture our creativity is far more important than folding the laundry!...

As children we cannot wait to grow up, pretending that we are older.  When we do get older with all the responsibilities we appreciate when we were without a care in the world, we tend to the aching muscles and the not so 20:20 vision as we peer over glasses to read the fine print and we talk to the younger generation about the things they need to appreciate as they go through their season to gain maturity...
