Dare to stand out in the crowd!


I know people view dandelions as annoying weeds, but I like them. I especially like the defiance of this dandelion how it is growing right up through the patch of these blue flowers. It's not afraid to stand out in the crowd.

Please come like my Facebook page Positive Thoughts and Gratitude where I share inspirational posters of my photos combined with favourite quotes. Hope you enjoy them!

      Let's hear it for dandelions, eh, Loni? My lawn is covered in them. I'm sure my neighbours are staring out their windows in dismay. Dandelions are a no no around here. Rusty broken down cars are okay though. Figure that one out.

    I was surprised when I found out dandelions were weeds because I reckon they can be quite pretty...yellow and bright and make you smile. What more do you want?? :)

      I agree, PB. How can something so bright and pretty with those fun seeds you can blow be a noxious weed? Thanks for commenting.

B is for Beauty of the Birds #AtoZChallenge

Beauty of the Birds By Cat Graham I love to watch birds throughout the year Out my living room window, so far yet so near, Their beauty and endurance never fails to inspire As they flit to the feeder or sit on the wire, The Canadian winter is not for the faint But the birds endure it without complaint, So many birds in all shapes and sizes Each day is different and full of surprises, I take lots of photos to capture their beauty In a way I feel like it is my duty, To capture this moment and keep it forever That’s why I began this photo endeavour, One day I’ll be old and then I’ll be gone But my birdie photos will live on and on. I am participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge, writing a blog post  for every letter of the alphabet every day (except Sundays) in the month of April.

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestimate
