Beached…

I thought the beach would be a good place to clear my mind.  I thought a change of scenery was what I needed to clear my head.  I thought if I could listen to waves, the wind and the seagulls I would be able to tune out the noise in my head…As it turns out, I think way too much. When at the beach…be in the moment…and the moment will take care of the rest!

“Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.”–Mohandas Gandhi

New Habits…

New habits emerge like a budding flower…creeping up from a hidden place, reaching for new heights, slowly opening up, day by day, changing from a tiny bud into a full-blooming beautiful flower for everyone to enjoy.

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. Buddha

At a loss…

I am at a loss…my thoughts have been stifled, my creative juices dried up, my fingers are frozen hovering over the keyboard…My spirit is willing but my mind is not a willing participant… total disconnect.  There is always hope that tomorrow will be filled with inspiration…

Underwater…

Underwater + Hidden Treasure = Sunken Ship…

This is one of the many boats used by Mel Fisher and his team of treasure hunters..how apropos that one of his boats would find its end at the bottom of the ocean.

Wikipedia….Mel Fisher (August 21, 1922 – December 19, 1998) was an American treasure hunter best known for finding the 1622 wreck of the Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha^[1] named after a shrine in Madrid for protection.^[2] He discovered the wreck July 20, 1985. The estimated $450 million cache recovered, known as “The Atocha Motherlode,” included 40 tons of gold and silver; there were some 114,000 of theSpanish silver coins known as “pieces of eight“, gold coins, Colombian emeralds, gold and silver artifacts, and 1000 silver ingots.^[1][3] Large as it was, this was only roughly half of the treasure that went down with the Atocha. The wealthiest part of the ship, the stern castle, is yet to be found.

Tasty Treats

Butterflies love sweet tasty treats…So do I!

Succulents

My husband has always wanted a cactus garden.  I on the other hand am less than interested.  My lack of enthusiasm comes from an incident as a child when I ended up in the cactus garden…not one of my happier memories.

My husband finally has his cactus garden…It is a beautiful mix…and it’s not very likely that I will take tumble into it, but only time will tell.

Random Visitor

Today is Earth Day…and this fuzzy little creature was waiting for me when I got home.  Actually, I am not sure how long he has been hanging out…I discovered him 3 hours ago and he hasn’t moved an inch.  I wonder what he’s up to?

Quandary

I am in a bit of a quandary… You see I have a dilemma.  A catch 22 if you will.  I am at a deadlock, an impasse maybe even a quagmire. I am in a bit of a pinch, a jam even a pickle, and I might even be in a tight spot.

I find myself perplexed and uncertain as to what to do in this particular situation.

So when in doubt and faced with indecision…go with your first instinct.

One of each Please!
