Quote to make you go hummm...

Quote Sunday, think about it.

We are never prepared for what we expect. ~James A. Michener

Those who gave away their wings are sad not to see them fly. ~Antonio Porchia

No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. ~Terry Pratchett

If you come to a fork in the road, take it. ~Yogi Berra

Oh am I just thick or what? I thought it said Yogi Bear and so ended up wondering what cartoon he said it in!!

Good to see Terry Pratchett up there though!

Here's one for next week (can't remember if I've already said this or not) - "Whenever you feel like you want to be a teenager again, just think of algebra"

I enjoying reading the quotes and nodding in knowing agreement. My base instincts made me laugh out loud at the peeing in the pool.

By the way I have been reading your biog. Camera clubs and I have never agreed on anything. I think they tend to be elitist. How do you think your photography has canged since no longer being part of one?

Lovely, but part of me was waiting to see if the tree would slide down the slope, obviously forgetting that nature is good at trees ;0). Btw is that the same tree that is individually in a shot recently?

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
