We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.

LIFE
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )
But what are plans other than more restrictions? (With thanks to Pauline)

ReplyDeleteIt's not the getting down, it's the getting up part that's difficult!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pauline! The No 1 position I'm not sure I'd dare try now if I were on my own...! But the camera has certainly got me to do some things that I wouldn't have done without it ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, of course, Pauline! What I'm really glad about is that the pictures weren't full face. I have a habit of sticking my tongue out as I take a difficult shot - just as our mother did when playing darts at home!
