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!

    1. 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.

  2. 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?? :)

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

  3. Oh yes, Cat! Standing out in the crowd isn't easy, but sometimes we have no choice! ;)

War and Pieces - Day 4 - #BarAThon

I am participating in the BarAThon with the blogging group, Blog a Rhythm for the weeks of June 14 to 30th.
Today's prompt is "War and Pieces." I did a poem for today's challenge. War and Pieces
Pieces of shrapnel, pieces of bone Pieces of metal, pieces of stone, Fly-covered corpses, their blood brownish-red Survivors wish that they, too, were dead.
War hungry maniacs with evil goals Destroying lives and shattering souls, Power hungry men, they always want more Making life harder for the sick and the poor,
Everywhere, despair increases Such is the life, with war and pieces

Rainbows and Butterflies

I love Jonathan Lockwood Huie's daily quotes and inspirational posts. Today he writes that it’s important to look for the small miracles of daily life instead of always waiting for the big miracles which may or may not happen.
Everything is a Miracle
Each day we see small miracles all around if we open our eyes and minds to see them.
Here is a small miracle, a beautiful photo that my son Rory took of his walk in the woods with our dog, Loup during the snowfall yesterday. I think it’s so magical when the snow clings to the trees like this as if they fairies came by and dusted snow on each branch. So picturesque. Maybe I won’t be so in awe of the snow by March but right now it looks gorgeous on the trees as the first snowfall of the winter.




Here is another small miracle. I shared a wonderful post about writing by my good friend Shailaja that is definitely worth a read.

At that same moment in time, Shailaja said she received my snail mail card which travel…

The Fault in Our Stares - Day 1 #BarAThon

I am particpating in the Barathon with the blogging group, Blog a Rhythm for the week of June 14 to 30th, a fortnight of blogging as they say in India. I almost forgot that a fortnight means two weeks. Such a fun British term.

Today's prompt is "The Fault in our Stares." The theme for the week is "Seven" which I have no idea how to incorporate into today's post, other than this memory took place in the 19 SEVENties. There, I did it! PHEW!

This is a memory I have of volunteering as a candy striper in a hospital when I was about thirteen. 
A loud garbled cry comes from the small shrunken man in the hospital bed. He drools from the side of his sagging mouth, his red tinged eyes pleading, as he tries to get my attention.
I have just started working as a candy striper and Monsieur Couvrette scares me with his pitiful cries and pathetic look. Most of the time, I try to avoid him as he seems so angry.
He lies in the bed, sad, helpless, shriveled and shrunken, his skin…
