Go To Your Happy Place

Go To Your Happy Place

Now that the holidays are looming in earnest, I recommend you take a break every once in a while and spend a few moments in a place that makes you the happiest; serene and calm; a place to re-energize.
This has been a public service announcement brought to you by your mood elevator ... ;o))

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim uponmen's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air thatemanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a wearyspirit.

With the end of November looming, I'm getting in the mood for Winter ... :o). Wishing a happy Thanksgiving for the U.S. folks. I am thankful for this beautiful earth, and the beautiful people upon it to share it with.

Aloha From My Heart

Aloha From My Heart

“Aloha” is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation.
“Aloha” means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return.
“Aloha” is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.

Happy #FloralFriday  and wishing you all a beautiful weekend!

Looking Up

Looking Up
While staying with Sam Breach, my boyfriend and I took a little walk around her town and found this amazing Roman Catholic church. I shot the interior in pano, meaning to stitch it into a wide angle view. However, when it came out of the Ps stitching engine, I got this odd vertical orientation, exaggerating the ceiling. I was going to do it again, with different settings, but then thought, "What the heck; why not?" ... ;o) ... #HappyAccidentsInPhotoshop

Happy Monday to you ... I hope your week is looking UP! ... :o))
