I'm sure it's a male phenomena ....

My WORLD!

Wake up World .... I’ve got places to go ... people to see ... and smiles to share!!!  Time .. she waits for no-one .... and especially when the sun’s shining and spring is in the air!

Heading towards my favourite view of my world!

Gorgeous BLUE skies!

I wake up every day CHOOSING to be happy .... each day is a new start .... an opportunity to begin afresh ... to put aside the stresses and failures of yesterday and focus on TODAY ... AND .... more importantly THIS moment in time.  I need to channel my energies into what I'm doing right now, not what I've got to do when I get back home home .... housework - blah .... washing - even bigger blah .... what to make for dinner - blah blah blah!!!

More Cherry Blossoms blooming!

I love the creativity of what I do  so I could focus on that but there’ll be time later in the day for that!  Right now I just want to be IN the moment ... I want to FEEL the sun on my face .... and SHARE in my hound’s enjoyment of our ramble.. These moments are what I see through the lens of my camera everyday and
I LIKE what I see!

I could write a book about
moments in time ... there are so many priceless memories that touch my heart and make me feel so positive about this world we live in. This Chinese proverb came to mind today when I was chatting to Sebastion’s human, Carol, on the beach.

 “The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it”

Sebastion, Carol’s Labrador,  is all of 14 years old and, in his advancing years, is struggling with stairs.  He still thinks he’s a puppy .... I’m sure it’s a male phenomena .... oops .. left out the word ‘dog’ there  .... and leaps down 3 or 4 stairs at a time only to end up unable to walk after he lands at the bottom.  Carol thought her only option was to sell-up and move to a house without stairs ... a bit of a scarcity in NZ as most houses are on several levels.

SO ... she’s having a STAIR-LIFT installed .... with a platform for Sebastion to stand on .... she’s doing what “cannot be done”!! I’m eagerly awaiting the job to be started so I can take pics of Sebastion using his stair-lift.  I asked her if the company doing the installation where surprised when she told them it was for a dog .. but they weren’t ... apparently they’ve done a few stair-lifts for dogs before.  I love that there are people out there who love their dogs so much that even in their advancing years, nothing is too much trouble .... lucky Sebastion ... he is dearly loved!

Molly and Lilly ... the beach hoovers!

Not only is Carol a dog-lover but she’s as nutty about rugby as I am .... possibly even more so!!  She doesn’t like Graham Henry one little bit so isn’t going to be supporting the FF’s.  She believes, like I do,  that SA will be in the final .... and we’re both hoping it’ll be against Wales
.... tall order I know but stranger things have happened.  My loyalties would be so torn if both my teams ended up in the final .... who would I support!!!

Just for today though I’m visualising the FF’s winning RWC ... it’s a fleeting thought and it’s only happening today .... tomorrow I’ll be back on track visualising my Bokke lifting that Webb-Ellis Cup!!!
