In Light


Weed Bokeh


Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
~Louisa May Alcott~


I can't for the life of me determine why I have, at the moment, turned in to a woman of so little words. I am relying heavily upon inspiration from others who quite often enrich my life. This week, it's in pictures and textures, as well as thoughts and dreams. Bringing me to reality is a nearing anniversary that is so very hard for me to come to terms with at times. I can't help but miss the gal I used to be despite the fact that I am happy with who I am. Times are hard, indeed. I really think that this is the time of year where I revert to quite spaces that only I can reach. I'm taking steps and making plans, but the progress shows otherwise. I know these things take time and a willingness to keep on going no matter what, but patience is just not my strongest virtue. I feel like there are some great things marinating at the moment and will reveal themselves in good time, but what about now!?!? I have so much to share, but no energy to properly introduce my news/ideas. But, I will. Cross my heart.


p.s. thank you for the wonderful response on my previous post, I know I can be very cryptic at times, but believe me, you should be so happy not to hear about all my grumbles and gripes.
Besides, this is my happy place!

  2. Sometime anniversaries can be difficult hill to cross over as we tent to reflect on what was. I think you are a positive person that takes beautiful photos and delights many.
    Baby steps will get you to your destination much safer than a giant leap.
    So keep looking into that wonderful sunshine.

  4. Quiet places can help rejuvenate the soul. Don't underestimate the time you need away from the hustle and bustle. We all need time to reflect.

  28. The quote you included is one of my all time favorites. It's a great one to remember when we don't feel we are reaching our goals.

    I agree with ELK, words are over rated, especially when your photos say so much.
