#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#manifestingthroughmay WALKING is undoubtedly good for all of us. But we are pooped today. It's good to pull the blinds and close the door. Some of us need more rest and quiet than others. There's nothing wrong with at that, is there? #walking #goodexercise #timeforrest #quiet #drawtheblinds #closethedoor #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsMy new read. A very good beginning. The title speaks for Sheba and me. We are all completely beside ourselves. A good day to chill and garden and check in to see if my mother needs some help with planting her flower beds. #weareallcompletelybesideourselves #goodreads #chilling #gardening #helpingmymother #photochallenge #taleswithfriends

A Cowardly but Respectful Lion
Yesterday I talked about being brave. But I am still like Dorothy’s cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. I’m not quite up to snuff, not up to confrontations. Never have and maybe never will. There’s something not quite kosher … Continue reading

SO MUCH FOR GOOD INTENTIONS
Some days I start out with such good intentions. There are so many spoilers and you know, dear reader, how accident prone I am. Well, I’m drinking a toast to them to show I harbour them no ill feelings. I’m … Continue reading
LATE NIGHT RANTINGS
I am feeling sad tonight having read someone ended a beloved pet’s suffering. I have also learned today that an old friend has passed away. His suffering has also ended. It is hard, nevertheless, for those left on this side … Continue reading

THE LINE OF RESPECT
It is Saturday morning. Breakfast and dishes are done. I am sitting here with my second cup of tea. Somewhere in downtown Saskatoon, there is a big rally on defending our climate, defend our communities. I am not there. There … Continue reading
DOG WITH A BONE
Sometimes I am like Sheba with a bone. I hang onto to my ‘bad’ feelings with all my might, not letting go. That is my perception. That is how I feel inside. When you live alone, life is much easier … Continue reading
