#manifestingthroughmay ESSENTIALS - My morning cup of tea, my usual messiness, silence and the fur baby. She is beyond, the black blob on the kitchen floor. The house has not cooled much overnights. We are tired. #essentials #morning #tea #messiness #sheba #photochallenge #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay OUT AND ABOUT - I'm sure this is not what they mean, but we were out and about in the Toyota service bay getting a flat tire taken care of. #outandabout #toyotaservice #flattire #photochallenge #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay BLOSSOMS - One word can bring forth pictures and a song. Words are powerful. #blossoms #africanviolet #cyclamen #jamestaylor #photochallenge #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay I'm tooting my own horn here.😂 I think I'm an AWE-INSPIRING person. This photo shows me on a cruise ship to Alaska on my own. I was in my deepest depression at the time. The logical thing would have been to stay safe and put. But I've always felt I have to rise above and do the difficult thing. I wrote out instructions for everything- how to get from the house to the airport, how to get to the ship from the airport, what to do on the ship, etc. etc. I did all that. I remembered doing a helicopter tour and a bus tour and men trying to pick me up and conniving to get into my stateroom. They were not impressed that I was not impressed by them even if they knew places like the Wardorf Astoria. I think I did enjoyed the trip. There was a federal election when I got home. I made sure I cast a vote. #aweinspiring #tootingmyownhorn #alaskacruise #depression #risingabove #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsWow, 31 degrees Celsius outside! Thank God for cool basements. Spent time getting to know Mrs. Bernina, cleaning and lubricating her. How quickly I forget her innards and makings. Now sitting back with my decaf and toasted baguette. Too hot to walk Sheba. I think I'll just snack and get fat. #hotday #snacking #cleaningandlubricating #berninasewingmachine #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 128 - The Royal Wave - #365simethings2018 Oprah at the wedding. Feeling slightly uncomfortable without adding defining lines but letting it go. #watercolor #indexcard #theroyalwave #oprah #atthewedding #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 127 - Lily's Folly - #365somethings2018 I'm always looking for coconuts. I think I'm barking up the wrong tree. #watercolor #indexcard #palmtree #coconuts #photochallege #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay NOURISHMENT - a pot of tea and some quiet time are enough sometimes. I don't need or ask for much. #nourishment #potoftea #quiet #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 126 - Dawne - #365somethings2018 Here I am trying to paint a regal @dawnezeta but maybe the beer is affecting results or that it's my excuse for failing. Seems so many things not working out for me. Sorry Dawne. I meant well. That phrase is an overused one, too. Being sorry does nothing at all. #watercolours #indexcard #dawne #taleswithfriendsA perfect set up. Feeling more mellow. Getting ready to paint 🎨 my index card 💳. #perfectsetup #photochallenge #taleswithfriends
