Thanks for making me stop, take a deep breath and look ;)
In real life, all you have is the present moment. Be aware. Don't waste it.
Took a deep breathe and savoured your picture.
Hope your day showed you how to take the next step while you're breathing.
Have a lovely evening.
(my verification word: coclud. You make your own conclusion.)
I like real life!
wonderful lessons!
I want to crawl right into these images and sit a while.
Back into blogging again! Your blog is always an inspiration your pictures are awesome! Which camera were you using when you took these pics?
Every word in the post is the truth and we can so easily forget it. Thank you for the reminder and the wonderful photos that let us stop a moment and take a breath.
all very real, very true, very life.
all of that and so much more but thing i like best lately is that knowing and being comfortable with 'it's not about me'
This is good! I have a feeling your child will thank you for being an awesome mother... Sometimes not cleaning the sink and instead taking time for yourself are important prerequisites!
Cheers,

I have savoured all of your shots, the last one in particular. It's stunnng!
Your images are most delightful. The sunflowers warm my heart while the raspberries are most titillating.
great list... and, is that the simple supper? It looks great! What is it, recipe? ...
Reading this post gave me the opportunity to sort out a horrible day. Thank you, thank you. I have been known to drive miles and miles just to see a field of sunflowers. My favorite was in southern France en-route to Rome on a train. If I could have stopped that train I would have. Thanks again for the memories! Your work is stunning.
Excellent post...it brought me peace.
Thank you dear. You're so good.
