Come to my senses...

The sight of a beautiful sunrise, the sound of laughter, the feel of warm rain on my skin, the smell of freshly cut grass, the taste of a lover's kiss.

These are a few of my favourite things and when I think of the fact that I have, in my lifetime, experienced them all, I feel very lucky... You see, simple pleasures. They are the best.

Truly, madly, deeply...

Living in the moment takes energy, but it also creates it too. We can all sit and think we are living consciously and that we are really living, but are we? Are we enjoying and appreciating the simple pleasures? Even on a bad day there is something, the smallest ray of sunshine, which can turn it around. You just have to be open to actually seeing it I think.

The power of words...

The strangest things can happen when you are laying awake sometimes, this idea and words popped into my head, for no reason that I can fathom. So here they are... my alphabet of life. I started with one for each, but soon found one just wasn't always enough...

Signpost...

Each entry here, each image, each phrase, is like a signpost of where I am at any given moment, where I have been, or where I want to be.

In the beginning...

So here I am, embarking on my maiden voyage into the wonders of the blog. I read a great quote today;
"There are treasures beyond compare in the ocean. If you seek safety stay ashore."

As I see it, this is an opportunity for expression, to be embraced and played with. The motivation for doing it is for me, pure and simple. Life is a journey of discovery.
