The more often we see the things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.

Morning Greetings: 30 September 2021
Good morning friends,
30 September 2021, the last day of September has arrived. I had so many plans for September. I wanted to go hiking, and practice taking landscape photos with my new lens. I wanted to recce some locations in order for me to start with my landscape photography assignment. Then Covid happened and well I am still not completely recovered.
The time to do my assignment is getting very short now. I need to submit my assignment by 20 December 2021. I still need to go and recce the locations and then plan my photos. I have no idea when this will happen.
It is a beautiful morning outside and according to the weather forecast we are having a beautiful Spring day. A maximum temperature of 24°C is predicted.
On my To-Do List for today
- Edit pageant photos👸
- Prepare Dinner🍲

Morning Greetings: 29 September 2021
Good morning friends,
How are you on this beautiful Wednesday morning?
I went to the doctor on Monday for my 6 month check up. I am happy to report that the doctor is very happy with my blood pressure. He was not so happy with my lungs and chest. Now I am on antibiotics, (which I hate by the way) and a cough syrup that makes me very drowsy. I was feeling great until I started drinking the medication the doctor subscribed.
I have plans to go hiking and now the doctor tell me I must rest and take it easy. Jeeezzz, all I have been doing since February was rest and taking it easy. To be honest, I am sick and tired of taking it easy. At this rate I will never get fit. I am super frustrated and poor Willow must also be super frustrated.
It is a beautiful morning outside and according to the weather forecast we are having a clear beautiful Spring day. A maximum temperature of 21°C is predicted. It is a going to be another windy day….

Changing the way we think: 29 September 2021
Changing the way we think one thought at a time…
All of us have negative thoughts, and these negative thoughts are holding us back. Let’s try to live a more positive life by changing the way we think.
As soon as you think….
“I keep making mistakes.”
Change your way of thinking to….
“I am a work-in-progress and I keep growing.”
