Rest

“Rest and be thankful.”

-William Wordsworth

i was called out of town,
a quick trip home.
It's always nice to get away ....

Lying in the Sun

"So let me lie in the sun
Let me dream all alone
Let my worries fly away
I am happy here 

so let me stay"

M u d f l a p s . . .   y o u   k n o w   t h e   k i n d !

it's a line from the song "Chrome"

by Trace Adkins....

and if you've ever been stuck behind

some 18-wheeler, chances are it has

mudflaps... you know the kind!

Usually its a skinny version,

here's my own BBW version!

Valentine

H a p p y   V a l e n t i n e ' s   D a y !

 Time is too slow for those who wait, 

Too swift for those who fear, 

Too long for those who grieve, 

Too short for those who rejoice, 

But for those who love, 

time is eternity.

-Henry Van Dyke

The Glass

The Glass

Couple of different things with this pix....

first, antique stemware, 1940s depression glass,

with a delicate optic ribbed effect.  Back in the

90s, i loved collecting stemware, in greens and

pinks.  second, with photography sometimes a

creative block comes, and then one can turn to

any number of places that post a "theme of the day"

Today's theme was "glass".  

Pleasing

Real beauty, the interesting, truly pleasing kind, 

is about honoring the beauty within you and without you. 

It’s about knowing that someone else’s definition of pretty 

has no hold over you.”

--Golda Poretsky

80s Rock

Then I saw those black lace panties 

and I knew that it was you.

if you're a fan of 80s rock,

you should recognize this

line from an iconic song.... 

It starts like this....

 
"I got a letter just the other day 

She sent a picture.....   "

Can you comment the next lines of the song??

Sunlight

“the late afternoon sunlight,

warm as oil,

sweet as childhood ...”

-- Stephen King, Carrie

“There is always music

amongst the trees

in the Garden,

but our hearts

must be very quiet

to hear it.”

― Minnie Aumonier

Lavender

i've just recently planted some lavender in the garden, and ohhhhh how i enjoy it!  Being the curious sort, i had to look up things about lavender, to share:

Lavender is symbolic of magic, love, 

protection, healing, and vision.

 The most common meaning of the 

Lavender flower is love and devotion. 

 Lavender flowers are also associated with 

purity, silence and caution. 

They also offer the promise of new adventure.

 Lavender color is the color of feminity, 

it represents 

 grace, elegance, romance, 

something unique and special. 

Lavender color is associated with 

spiritual healing and tranquillization.

Underwear

 

"Women who don't wear underwear, 

never get their panties in a bunch."

(ok, had to post that quote because it made me chuckle!)

 

it was a relaxing Friday night
(after getting the usual chores done)
and i'm looking forward to a warmer
weekend, with not a lot of things on
my "to do" list.....

Mystery

"You are....

a fairy or a wood nymph

or something of the like.

You are a being of

beauty, delicacy,

mystery and magic...."



Very kind words....
I was very touched
Thank You, JB!!!







in my mind today,
its "finally Friday" ....
took forever to get
through this work week.
Work has been
extra stressful lately,
and that spills over
into Life.

It shouldn't though.
In a moment of clarity,
I realized that while our
work, our job, is important,
it shouldn't be our reason
for being.

We shouldn't live to work,
we should work to live!

The Mirror

“Look in the mirror. 

What you see there is what you get from others. 

When you smile, 

smile comes back to you. 

When you get angry, 

anger comes back to you. 

When you love, 

love comes back to you, 

When you hate, 

hatred comes back to you.
 

That's very simple. 

You can make your life 

however you like 

by how you behave.”
 

 ― Hiroko Sakai

Go out and make
a beautiful day!
Smile at someone,
Laugh with someone,
and most of all,
Love someone!!

Looking Glass

 Women are made 

to be loved, 

not understood.  

-Oscar Wilde

Welcome February!

Welcome

February!

it's been a long cold
winter for so many
folk out there,
i hope you
stayed warm!


February sweeps in
bringing a promise
of warmer weather,
spring is just
around the corner!


After a day of house
cleaning and purging
some old CDs,
a last moment of
evening sun
streamed in my window ....

If its cold
where you are,
maybe this will
warm you up!

Thoughts on a Hat

"When you wear a hat, 

it is like medicine for the soul.  

The hat is the expression of 

who you are as a woman 

in every moment!  

The hat is your dream

of who you can be.  

It facilitates the different parts 

of who you are:  

With the wave of the hat, voila!  

You are mysterious...

no, you are sexy...
 
now proper...

now playful."


Not a lot of women wear hats these days;
here in the Valley of the Sun, you see three
kinds:  a cowgirl hat, a baseball cap, or a
sun visor.  While i don't wear them often,
i have always been a fan of hats, and have...
(yes, i'm looking over and counting them
right now....)  ...yes, i have 15 hats hanging
in an arrangement on my bedroom wall. :)
